In a half hour's running fipht an American armed merchantman sunk a German submarine, de clare official advices reaching the State Department today. The U-boat, which was flying no flag, fired thirty-five shots. There is no report of any damage from the enemy gun fire. t The gun-crew of the steamer fired twenty-five shots. The last shot pierced the U-boat which reared out of the water stern up. and after standing upright for a moment or two disappeared.- 4 The Navy Department is convinced that there is no ques tion that the submarine was sunk this time on the face of the report of the commander of the steamer's gun-crew.

America's men who responded yesterday w the call of registration will know within a few weeks whether or not they.wUl be drawn for service. Then, if they clainr exemption they must present their cases to the local exemp tion boards for Judgement. Physical tests of those found ser viceable will take1 considerable time but the men will be ready for the actual call to the colors before the appointed time in September. Estimated reports from registration aH over the country show that the response was far beyond the most op timistic expectations of government heads. Hunt will now be begun for the few slackers that failed to show up. Every federal, state and municipal agency will bend their efforts toward ferreting out the quitters. In 12 states the estimated registration is 3,893, 700 against the expected 3,963,000. War Department men unable to register yesterday may show their good faith by appearing before their registration boards today and will not be classed as slackers. The penalty will be suspended if the men appear voluntarily.
