FLEW WHITE SHIRT TO ATTRACT AlTENTIOI Crew of Torpedoed Steamer Harpath fan Picked Up 26 CHINAMEN AMONG THEM Submarine Commander Furnished To bacco and Water, But Couldn't Spare Grub An Atlantic Port, June 7.-The crw of the British steamer Harpathi an, sunk off ?the Virginia cape; Wednesday, picked up by the steame Potomac and bi-ought into this por late last night, is now at a local hos. pital here, where they are recovering frem exposure after being adrift fo twenty-six hours. Twenty-six of the lTarpathian's crew are C hinese. All 0: the men are being cared for in th< officers' quarters at the hospital. Tw( members of the crew were injured, oni se-erely. It is expected that the ma. jority of the men will be able to leav< th:' hospital early this afternoon. Attracted by Shirt According to Yip Chow, a China. nwin who had charge of the twenty ninre Chinese on the Harpathian, which was sunk by a submarine 100 miles fr~'m the Virginia capes Wednesday morning, the ship was sailing from Lsondon with- ballast; she was of 2,869 tons capacity; was owned by the Har rison Line, of Liverpool; and was sunk absolutely without warning by the huge U-boat. After having been on the sea in open boats for twenty-six hours, the steamship Potomac was sighted, and attracted toward the sur vivors by a white shirt waved in the air by members of the crew. 'hung-a-chung, the only member of .he crew injured, was an oiler in the engine room. lie was struck between the eyes by a piece of the torpedo, which struck the ship at No. 4 hatch. He was out of bed shaving himself this morning. Yip Chow's Story Chinese members of the crew were interviewed this morning at the local base hospital, where the American army officers had supplied them with every convenience. Yrp Chow was the only one who was able to speak Eng lish. He stated that about 9 o'clock Wednesday morning the lIarpathian, sa:ling from London to Newport ws, with ballast, was alive with activity. Every member of the crew was doing his utmost to get the ship to this city in record time. Suddenly \ p Chow sighted a ripple on the calm 'vater several yards away. He called r. to the watch. It was then real imevd that a torpedo was swishing to ward the doomed crew. In the wink of an eye the ship was in convulsions. The torpedo had struck on the stern hatch and tore a hole in the ship. The water swirled down into the ship. Chung-a-chung stuck, called out for help. The lifeboats were filled and lowered and all hands pit o:f in five lifeboits. Wter and Tobacco In a very few miutes the ship set tked down to the water's edge and then .erked out of sight. fmmediately the Smp was gone, the submarine can.e awash. The submarine captain ap peared on the deck and after him about thirty officers and members of the crew. _In strikingly good English the captain called the lifeboats to the submarmew. Tfhe Englishmen asked him for water, provisions andl tobacco. lHe replied that he wa~s almost out of provisions, and that lie was willing to t-:ve thw survivors water andl smokes. Ge-rman; tobaceo was offered and a si tit f~ fresh water. ry induredl member of the Hiar f stan.u crew was ordered aboard the bmarmh. The sub surgeon tor.k e iarge of him and dlres.-ed his wounds. hiortly afterwards the boat sub. mned, leaving the Harpathmn's e:'ew afloat in open coatds.

According to the survivors, the first i of the sailing craft attacked by the' submarine after she had destroyed the Rio was a ship, while the second was a schooner. They knew nothing as to the fate of the two crews, but assumed the small boats as were the captain and thirty-three melt of the Rio's crew. William F. Clark, of the naval re serves, who said he was aboard the ii IRio ;n training for service as an offi- L cer on a merchant vessel, asserted ' that the submarine fired six shots at I the Rio before the American craft stopped. When the first shot was fired the captain put on all steam in the hope of making port and escaping I the enemy, but the submarine proved I too speedy. The crew had taken to*' the boats before the submarine ar- : rived alongside.

MU'ST BUY WAR STAMPS The President of the United States has called upon the loyal men and wvomen of America to pled ge them selves to save for victory. He has is sued an earnest appeal to all Ameri cans to buy war savings stamps as regularly as possible, investing in this form of security the money saved through avoiding needless expendi tures. "The 28th of June ends this special period of enlistment in the greatest volunteer army of production and sav ing here at home. MAY THERE BE NONE UNENLISTED ON THAT DAY." What loyal American will refuse to respond to .this appeal .issued by. the executive head of this nation, ansi the commander in chief of our artaed forces? We have the opportunity to enlist in this "volunteer army of production and saving." In Germany, it is a mat. ter of compulsion. The iron hand of the German autocracy forces it harsh ly upon the German people, depriving them not merely of luxuries, but of the barest necessities of life. We are asked in America to voluntarily post pone our needless luxuries so that our soldiers and sailors may not lack their necessary equipment. What the Ger man nation does under rigid compul sion, certainly Americans will do in a mild way voluntarily. It is unthink able that there is a man, woman or child in America who will refuse to sign the pledge to save and to invest a portion of the savings in war sav ings stamps.-. We must respon.l to the President's solmen appeal-we must sign the pledges, nt t because we feel forced to, but because it is an opportunity for us to help win the war. The nledges should be signed cheerfully, willingly. gratefully. -W-S-S Of all the states in thi cou.ntry, South Carolina stands lowest in the list in the purchases of war' savings stamps. In June the balvnee of the states will conduct an intensive can. p.gn just as this state will do. The other states are already far ahead of us, and South Carolina must exert greater efforts than other states if we are to remove the ugly stign'a of "slacker!'from our name.
