It is said that the U-boat is being towed to this port. # There is no confirmation of the rumor as yet. New York, June 3. —A wireless S. O. S. call from the New York and Porto Rico Line passenger steamship Carolina saying that she was being attacked by a subma rine was received here to-day. The fate of the Carolina is not known. No further wireless calls were received after the call for help. A United States guard ship was one of the vessels which got the call. The Carolina with 220 passengers aboard and 120 in her crew, was bound for an Atlantic port at which she is this afternoon 1 .2 hours overdue. Washington, June 3. —The Navy Department an nounced that it had received an official report that three American schooners had been sunk off the coast by enemy submarines. Besides the Edward H. Cole, the names of two other ships have been reported to the Navy. They are the schooner Jacob S. Haskell and the Isabella D. Willey. New York, June 3.—Two more American vessels the Hattie Dunn and the Samuel W. Hathaway, have been sunk by German submarines. Details of the additional sinkings had not been received early this afternoon but the report was that they had fallen victims to the enemy somewhere off the New England coast. New York, June 3.—Germany has carried her unrestricted sub marine warfare to this side of the ocean and at leat five vessels liave been sunk by submarine attacks off the Atlantic coast. Some reports say the number of victims already has reached fifteen. Although the presence of German undersea boats had been reported in American waters for several days past; the first definite news that they were operating off this coast came to-day when the crew of one victim, the schooner Edward H. Cole, was landed here. Their vessel was sunk Sunday off the New Jersey shore. At Least Two Submarines in Action It is known that at least two L\ boats are •engaged in the cam paign, which is assumed to be aimed chiefly at the American 11 ansport service. A report that besides the attacks on shipping* off the Jersey cQast, a submarine was operating off Nantucket and had torpedoed a ship in those waters was not confirmed. Presumably the Germans are employing the new cruiser type of U-boats with a long steaming radius, for these operations. * l he port of New York was closed to outgoing shipping as soon as the news of the presence of hostile craft outside was con firmed. Similar action has been taken at other Atlantic ports. Navy Is Ready For Action Meantime advices from Washington, after officially confirm ing the loss of three schooners, declared that measures'alreadv in operation and others that will be added, "will deal with new sub marine menaces. tiermany, by striking with her submarines at the very doors of America, has admitted to the world that the American Army will turn the tide against her on the battle fields of France. As first news of the submarine raid on the Atlantic coast brought to the Navy Department at Washington to-day by Asso ciated Press dispatches, was followed by official reports, naval officials declared that the American anti-subitiarinc force in home waters were ample to meet the attack. All along the coatet line, naval flying boats, submarine chasers and numberless other naval craft immediately got into action All officials declared that the Navy Department was fully equipped to meet the thrust at the very fountain head of the flow of American troops to Europe and that all its agencies were being brought into full force to find the submarines and destroy them. Transports to Be Guarded This challenge to the fighting forces of the United States would be met, officials said, with the same measures whitjh have driven the submarines to cover in the war zone, and the steadv flow of American transports to France would be guarded with the same effective proportion which has carried them through the infested [Continued on Page .] BINGI.E COPY, •J CENTS Patiently Waiting!

Sunday ap parently was the poorest day the German advance has had since the offensive was renewed a week ago to-day. In seven days the Germans have driven a dangerous salient in the allied line and have met with some success in attempting to link the new salient with the ope driven to ward Amiens ip March. In addition to their other captures, the Ger mans took a huge amount of Franco-American stores at Fere-en- Tardenois, the booty including 500,- 000 artillery shells, much material, and one thousand vehicles. Unable to Break Line Although able to push back the French line between Soissons and Noyon, the Germans have been un able to break it and, while continu ing their strong attacks there, are making most violent attempts from the line of the Marne to north of the Ourcq. The intention probably 1b to outflank the northern sector by forc ing back the sector south of Sois sons to west of Villers-Cotterets. Heavy fighting continued all day Sunday east of Villers-Cotterets and the forest of the same name east of l the town. Late Saturday the French had retaken four towns in this re gion. Under the enemy pressure the French again were compelled to give lip Kaverollcs, about three miles southeast of Villers-Cotterets.

The Germans have not crossed the Marne and apparently have not nutde very strong efforts to do so.

An nouncements to this effect were is sued this morning by C. M. Kaltwas ser, general manager of the Harris burg Ijight and Power Company. The exact charge has not yet been an nounced. The old rates of forty cents per thousand feet have been in effect ever since the Harrisburg concern took over the steam heating estab lishment in 1913. These rates, Man ager Kaltwasser said this morning when queried, are much lower than those in effect in other cities. They are so low, he said, they make little if any profit on them. New York City has a maximum rate of $1.50 per thousand feet with a sliding scale that reaches tlfty-Hve cents. Wilkes- Barre, in the heart of the coal dis trict, pays seventy-five cents. While the Harrisburg rates will be raised.

It is believed, however, that no improvement will be noted until thQ police department begins imposing something more than fines upon the offenders. A stiff provision in the traffic ordinance effectively enforced under the direction of Mayor Keister would soon bring about a great change for the better.
