SOUTH ATLANTIC!
RAIDS CONTINUE

Stories of Activities of Teuton Ships
and U-Boats Fill Up
Dispatches
EXPECT DEUTSCHLAND AT ANY
MOMENT IN NEW LONDON, CONN.
German Steamer, Apparently Still at
Large, Reported Headed
for North
New York, Jan. 20.-Stories of new
ships destroyed, running fights with
submersibles and other tales of the sea
poured in today while dispatches were
still bringing fresh details of the Ger-
man raid in the south Atlantic.
Every indication tonight was that in
addition to the raider German sea
forces have been extremely busy, Teu-
tonic submarines especially. In ad-
dition, all preparations have been
made at New London, Conn., again to
receive the merchant submarine
Deutschland, whose arrival is expected
momentarily.
Report Toftwood Sinks.
On the heels of the story of Captain
Jones of the steamer Lindenhall, tell-
ing of a running fight with a subma-
rine lasting two hours, came the re-
port of the sinkin of the steamer
Toftwood. The French line received a
cable from Havre announcing the de-
struction of this vessel by a submer-
sible. She carried a valuable cargo
though the line officially denied it in-
cluded munitions.
Lindenhall Gets Thrills.
The Lindenhall brought in one of
the most thrilling stories in months.
This ship was riddled and scarred from
shells fired at her by a submarine
which overhauled her in the Mediter-
ranean. This was on Dec. 13, Captain
Jones said. When ordered to stop, the
captain -crowded on full steam, un-
limbered the 12-pounder, and started
to run.
The submarine fired more than 200'
shots at his vessel, Jones said, and
the Lindenhall fired 86 in return.
Though struck repeatedly the ship was
not hit in a vital spot and made good
her get-away.
Raider Still "Flying Dutchman"
Buenos Aires, Jan. 20.-The German,
raider is apparently still at large, ac-
cording to Charles P. Stewart, United
Press staff correspondent. The most
authenticated report of her where-
abouts indicated on Thursday that she
was speeding northward with all the
might of her powerful engines. The
steam packet Bahia passed a vessel off
the northeasternmost point of South
America Thursday which slie believes
was the German raider. The stranger,
was making well over 20 knots.
The Bahia did not approach close
enough to the vessel to permit an ac-
curate description. She could not con-
firm the story of survivors landed at
Pernambuco that the German com-t
merce destroyer carried three subma-i
rines of less than 18 feet in length, ap-
parently the latest invention of Ger-
man ingenuity in subsurface warfare.,
British Captain's Description.
The British captain of the steamert
Netherby 'Hall landed among other
survivors of prizes taken by the raider,l
furnished the first detailed description1
of the raider and was the first to an-1
nounce that the terror carried subma-
rines and submarines of such small
size as to make a new era in subma-
rine development. He estimated the
length of the three undersea boats
with the raider was equipped, at about
six meters, and specified that theirt
radius of operations was comparative-
ly small, although they carried some1
sort of torpedoes, ammunition and dy-r

namite. He added that the speed of
the raider was about 22 knots.
Drina Arrives Safely.t
The pessible score of destruction ofr
the raider was reduced to 25 ships to-
night with the announcement that the
11,500 ton British ship Drina had ar-
rived safely at Rio de Janiero. The.
Drina was the biggest of all the al-
lied merchantmen reported as miss-
ing and believed to have fallen victim
to the German commerce destroyer.
That she should have eluded theI
raider was the cause of rejoicing
among among allied ship owners to-
night. The south Atlantic is being
combed from both north and south
in search of the mysterious ship.

To Chart Huron
River for Safety
Student Council Committee Plans Ac-
tion; MAp to Be Published
in Daily
The committee appointed by the stu-
dent council to investigate skating
conditions on the Huron river has de-
cided to make a chart showing the
dangerous points, air holes, thin ice,
where the nearest buildings are, where
assistance can be gotten in case of an
accident, and where there is the best
skating above Barton dam. As the ice
is not in good condition at present be-
cause of the heavy snow, the chart will
riot be made until there is good skat-.
ing on the Hdron. It will appear in
The Daily as soon. as completed.
There has been some talk among
the students who are pushing along
The Michigan Daily campaign to make
the Huron suitable for skating, of mak-
ing a skating rink above Barton dam,
where the best ice on the Huron is to
be found. A small sum would keep
the rink cleaned off and in good con-
dition.

Crowd Awaits Arrival at Michigan
Central Station; To Hold
.Banquet
Ann Arbor opened her arms to b er
returning soldiers yesterday. From
the time that the University siren
blew, at 1:30 o'clock, announcing that
the troops had left Detroit, till 4
o'clock, when they arrived, Ann Ar-
bor's townspeople and university stu-
dents flocked to the Michigan Central
station to help welcome Company I of
the 31st regiment.
News that the troops were leaving
Detroit was telegraphed to Ann Ar-
bor, as pre-arranged. Immediately the
information reached the city hundreds
responded and in a short time had con-
gregated around the armory, whence
they marched to the Michigan Central
station, headed by the University band.
Admist cheers and laughter, the
crowd waited two hours for the troop's
train to arrive. It was afterward
found that the train had been delayed
on a side track just outside of Detroit.
Finally at about 4 o'clock the coaches
bearing the Ann Arbor and Jackson
boys rolled into the station. There
were about 85 in the Ann Arbor corps.
After much handclasping and greet-
ing, the company filed into line and,
headed by the University and city
bands, marched up Division street
through the city. All of the stores
were decorated in their honor, and
both sides of the streets were lined
with spectators.
At the armory a huge flag was raised
to salute them. Later they were dis-
missed by Captain Wilson in order to
allow them to go to their homes.
"The welcoming of the troops was
wonderful," stated Mr. John C. Fisch-
er, chairman of the welcome home
committee, last night. "The people
turned out in fine shape and I want to
thank the university students for help-
ing in the program."
A banquet will be given in thea
troop's honor next Wednesday night.
It will be held at the armory, and it
is expected that fully 1,000 people will

Baker Orders More Militia Men Home
But Refuses Information About
Pershinges Column
Washington, Jan. 20.-Between 15,-
000 and 20,)000 militia men have been
ordered home from the border.
The particular units to comprise the
number are now being selected by
General Funston. Secretary of War
Baker made this announcement late
today but he declined to reveal the
plans for withdrawal of General Persh-
ing's column from Mexico.
The militia retirement bringing the
total national guard strength at the
border down to about 55,000, however,
is preliminary to the Pershing with-
drawal. Other militia units undoubted-
ly will be moved homeward as soon as
Pershing's movement is accomplished
and transportation is available.

Washington, Jan. 20.-That open at.

made on the president's promotion of
Dr. Grayson, lieutenant commander to
be a rear admiral, is certain.
Senators Smoot and Harding declar-
ed today that they will "have a thing
or two to say about the promotion of
the man who has been the president's
personal physician and friend for four
years."
An evidence of the feeling caused in
some circles by the promotion was
shown today in an editorial of Sea
Power, official cr an of the Navy
league, which has shown open hostility
for President Wilson.

NO MORE TICKETS FOR
HOP TO BE PUT ON SALE
REASON IS THAT ONE GYMNASIULIT
WILL HOLD BUT 500
COUPLES
No more tickets will be put on sale
for the J-hop. Five hundred of the ad-
mittance cards had been sold after the
sale closed yesterday morning, at,
which the remaining 35 pasteboards
were passed out to the long waiting
students.
The above decision was made by the
J-hop committee, at a special meeting
held at the Michigan Union early yes-
terday afternoon.
According to Waldo M. McKee, 18E,
general chairman of the committee, it
will be absolutely impossible to accom-
modate any more than 500 couples in
the one gymnasium. Many rumors
have been heard around the campus
for the last few days, that the other
gymnasium would be thrown open for-
the party, but this will not be done,
according to McKee, for the reason
that all the contracts have-been award-
ed and the date is too late now to make
any new agreements.
Allotments for booths will be made
on Feb. 5, the exact hour of the day to
be decided later. Each booth will be
given two chaperone tickets, which will
cost $5.50 each, the same as the stu-
dent booth pasteboards.
There will be a regular meeting of
the committee at 10:30 o'clock this
morning at the Union.

Problem of "What Constitutes An

Importance
By ROBERT J. BENDER
(United Press Staff Correspondent)
Washington, Jan. 20.-The Un
States government faces new and s
ous international problems with (
many, as a result of reports that tl
Americans have been captured
prisoners of war by the German ra:
operating in the south Atlantic.
Indications of anxiety were refl
ed when it was officially admitted
night that if Germany does not vol
teer information on the question wi1
two days, this government will
mediately make formal inquiry of (
many.
Expect Quick Reply.
The state department tonight, h
ever, expressed belief that Gern
diplomatic representatives would
mediately clear up reports that th
Americans are among prisoners abc
the steamer Yarrowdale.
Germany claims the 103 prison
taken had been removed "as pris
ers of war" because they had "ta
pay on armed enemy vessels." In
only official statement thus far isst
however, Germany has not admi1
that any of the neutrals captured
Americans.
Ship Problem Once Again.
Out of the threatened difficul
arises the old armed ship bogey wh
continues to haunt the diplomatic I
of the state department. "What c
stitutes an armed ship" is still a qi
tion between the United States, C
many and England. If the vessels
which Americans may have been E
ployed were armed unquestionably

would have no case against Germa
