TWO STEAMERS RISK OFF
COAST BY A SUBMARINE
Benistone and Hrmiin Winter Go
Down Thought Possibly There are
Three Submarines Operates on the
Atlantic Coast.
Washington, August 12. German
submarine raiders operating off the
north Atlantic coast have destroyed
thiee more vessels. Brief dispatches
to the navy department to-day an
nounced the sinking without details.
The British steamer Penistone, of
4,139 gross tons was torpedoed one
hundred miles east of Nantucket
lightship yesterday morning; the
Swedish steamer Sydland of 3,031
gross tons, was sunk by bombs Aug
ust eight, one hundred miles south
east of Nantucket and an American
schooner reported as the Herman
Winter, but whose "identity has not
been definitely established, was de
stroyed by gunfire yesterday, two
hundred miles east of New York. All
members of the crew of the Sydland
were reported saved, but the navy's
dispatches did not clear up the fate
or the crews of the other vessels.
The Penistone and Herman Win
ter were sent down in the vicinity of
Georges Bank, off the Massachusetts
coast, where a submarine came to the
wi r face Sunday in the midst of a fleet
of American fishing vessels, nine ot
which were destroyed.
It was Just three weeks yesterday
that a submarine made its appear
ance off the Massachusetts coast in
the second raid of submersibles in
American waters since the United
States entered the war. A tug and
three barges were destroyed by gun
fire. The submarine next was heard
from off the coast of Nova Scotia,
where several steamers and sailing
vessels were sunk.
In the meantime a second U-boat
appeared off the Virginia coast, de
stroying the American tank steamer
O. B. Jennings, the diamond Shoal
lightship off Cape Hatteras, N. C, and
other craft.
In some quarters the view was hold
to-day that one submarine account
ed for all the vessels attacked off New
England and that in all probability it
was the one which has been operating
In the north. Some officials, howev
er, held that possibly a third submer
sible has come to this side of the At
lantic. , Washington, August li.4Dstrue
tlon of the British steamer Penistone
and the Swedish steamer Sydland by
a German submarine off tha New
England coast was reported to-day to
the navy department. The Penistone
was sent down yesterday about one
hundred milles east of Nantucket and
the Sydland on August eight snuth
east of Nantucket. No news of the
crews was given in the department's
despatch.
The Penin?tone, a vessel of about
four thousand tons gross, apparently
was sunk by he same U-boat that
destroyed nine fishing schooners Sat
urday. First reports made no refer
ence to the crew's safety and gave no
details of the attack.
Boston. August 12. Fifteen survl
vors of the Swedish steamer Sydland
arrived here to-day and reported tha
their vessel had been sunk by a Ger
man submarine Saturday. Fifteen
othe.rs of the crew were picked up
bv another ship.
Washington. August 12 Later
the navy was advised that the An er
can schooner Herman Winter ha
been sunk in the same general local!
tv. There is no record here of
schooner 'by that name. An Ameri
can coastwise steamer named Herman
WSnter is reported safe in port.
Gloucester, Massachusetts, August
12. Fishermen claim to indentified
the commander of a German subma
rine which has been sinking fishing
boats off the Atlantic coast as a skill
ed navigator formerly In tha United
States fisheries service. Two men
from different schooners that were
sunk claim to have rerognlzad a for
mer acquaintance who had changed
little except that he had grown
beard since they last saw him.
An Atlantic Port, Aug. 12. A Brit
ish merchant steamer was sunk re
cently off the north Atlantic coast, ac
cording to the second officer cf the
German submarine which sent nine
fishing schooners to the bottom off
Georges Bank Saturday and Sunday
This report was given member of the
crew of the Kate Palmer, a fishing
tchooner, when ihey re taken

brought here early today aboard the
auxiliary-schooner Helen Vutley, af

GERMAN PKESS PROTESTS

Government Has Xo Right to De-

(By the Associated Press.)
Washington. The continued at
tempts to deceive the German peo
ple regarding the progress of the war
and America's participation are meet
ing with protests in a part of the
German press, according to an offi
cial dispatch to-day from Switzerland.
The Muencher Post, according to
dispatch, protests against a recect
speech delivered at Hamburg by
Prince Henry of Prussia, in which the
last battles were represented as Ger
man victories. "It is scandalous,"
says the newspaper,, "to see a person
like Prince Henry of Prussia giving
the German people a picture of the
situation which in no way corre
sponds to the reality. Germans are
not going to let themselves be ex
ported like children. It is ridiculous
to think that people are saying- that
we shall support a fifth year of war
like the four preceding ones. It would
be doing wrong to the German peo
ple. Enoungh personages like Prince
Henry would do better not to speak
about the sufferings and miseries of
the war. We were told for a long
time that America's entry Into the
war was a mere bluff and we see to
day that one part of the press and
the greater part of the official ora
tors are continuing to decleve the
German public. They would do bet

herself to-day In an extremely seri

GERMANS ARE DIGGING IX
AUNG THE VESLE RIVER
Enemy Opposite American Digging
Trenches A Rock Quarry, Large
Enough to Hold Two Regiments
Shelled by our .Men Germans
Forced to Evacuate.
With the American Army on the
Vesle, Aug. 11. Allied aviators have
reported that the Germans are dig
ging in opposite the Franco-American
line along the Vesle. The observers
also have reported that the enemy is
stringing barbed wire along the hills
northwest of Flsmes. Allied officers
express the belief that the Germans
will not give ground here unless they
are deliberately pushed off the pla
tea us.
The Americans on Saturday learn
ed from German prisoners that the
enemy was using an old rock quarry
cave in the region of Longueval, large
enough to conceal two regiments. He
employed it as a refuge for troops at
rest. The Franco-American heavy
artillery shelled the cave all day Sat
urday and the Germans were finally
compelled to abandon it as a hiding
place.
The guns of the Franco-Americans
got the range of the entrance to the
cave and kept up a continuous fire
all day. Observers reported that the
cave had been considerably damaged
and was tendered virtually untenable.
The Germans are digging trenches
along the line west and east of Long
ueval and also in the valley of the
Berles.
Allied aviators on Saturday did not
observe the Germans building any
big gun emplacements, but here and
there were installing batteries. Most
of these were light calibre, which the
Germans were able to move to other
positions when the French and Amer
icans discover their locations.

GERMANY KNOWS SHE CANT
WIN .MILITARY DECISION
Therefore She Will Resort to Peace
Offensive She Has Lost the Cam
paign of 1918 Russia Definitely
Destroyed Germany Evperted a
Western Victory This Sprbig.
(By F. H. SIMONDS.)
Germany has lost the campaign of
1918, and with this loss has been
joined the inevitable extinction of the
chance to win a military victory, pro
vided only that the great nations now
in arms against the German and his
minor allies remain as firmly united
as they have in the past. Germany
escaped a defeat which was plainly
lnaicatea aner the close of the cam
paign of 1916, despite her Rumanian
victories of that year, solely because
Russia abandoned the struggle and
thus treed German hands. In 1917
the Russian debacle enabled Germany
to defeat British and French offen
sives, and in 1918 to undertake her
own great offensive which has Just
been wrecked at the Marne.
If one could conceive, following
the Russian precedent, Germany
could hereafter eliminate Britain,
France, the united States or Italy
rrom the war, she might be able to
undertake a new offensive to win a
military decision in the west with a
reasonable prospect of victory, but
apart from such a success she has no
longer the numibers or the resources
necessary for the task.
We have had in this war three
phases which have been exactly alike
and have led to the same results. In
August and September, 1914, Ger
many undertook to eliminate France
from the war by her great offensive.
Her strategy was based upon the
theory that before Russia could inter
vene effectively either in East Prus
sia or against Austria, the German
army could dispose of France and
thereafter turn its attention to the
reduction of Russia. The failure of
the Marne entailed the decisive de
feat of this strategy. The Cerman
army proved Inadequate for its migh
ty taks and French military power
endured.
Again, at Verdun, having beaten
Russia down and while Britain was
still unready, Germany endeavored to
dispose of France. The problem was
the same, the Issues identical, and la
this .xaae H was- Britain who played
the role Of Russia In 1914 and at the
Somme began an offensive which de
prived Germany of all chance of real
izing her Verdun purposes. For a
second time the western line held and
Germany was thrown back upon the
defensive.
LAST PHASE THIRD EFFORT.
We are Just seeing the last phase
of the third German effort. The rev
olution in Russia, carefully guided by
German agencies, had at last dis
posed of Russia In 1917. The Unit
ed States could not effectively inter
vene In the first half of the campaign
of 1918. Ludendorff had nearly six
months ahead of him, as he calculat
ed, more than six months as It then
seemed, in which to dispose of Britain
and Fiance before Pershing's army
could turn the scales. And as in
1914, In the Marne campaign, and in
1916, before Verdun, the Germans
have come within an ace of success
and have failed, only after brilliant
preliminary triumphs.
mil again mere lias been a repe
tition of the Waterloo circumstances.
The German Napoleon has sought
three times to overwhelm the allied
Wellington, Joffre, Petain and Foch
in turn, but each time Blucher has
arrived In time, the Russians in 1914,
the British in 1916, -and ourselves in
1918. As a result, each grandiose at
tempt has failed at the moment when
the Gorman people and the German
soldiers have not too rashly believed
that victory was within plain sight.
Now, going back to the former oc
casions, we see that the failure in the
Marne campaign was followed by
transfer of German effort for nearly a
year and a half to the east front. Ger
many could not fight offensive cam
paigns on both sides, so she abandon
ed the west to settle matters In the
east. When she came back to the
west, in the Verdun campaign, she
was too late. Britain was almost
ready and France able to hold until
Britain could begin. After the Ver
dun failure it was necessary to go
east and south again, Russia having
once more become dangerous and Ru
mania a fresh foe.
But Russia definitely destroyed for
military purposes, Rumania disposed
of, the east at her feet, Germany
came west again this spring. Ameri
ca was unready, far more unready
than Britain in the Verdun time. The
chance to dispose of the older enemies
before the ne.w one was on the field
in troublesome numbers was unmis
takable. The battles of Plcardy,
Flanders and the Aisne seemed to
promise the ultimate victory Just as
Morhange, Charlerol and Mons seem
ed to promise it In 1914. The most
optimistic allied observer could not
deny that Germany had a fresh op
portunity to gain a decision on the
continental battlefield the moment it
was disclosed that the Germans had
devised a system of battle tactics
which abolished the value of trench
systems, as their heavy guns had
abolished the value of forts nearly
four years before. The parallel was
again striking, but fortunately the
end was the same.

Hl'NS STIFFEN' DEFENSE
BIT CANNOT STOP A U.IKS
Allied Advance Has Slowed Dow
Somewhat But Important Advances
Were Made Sunday and .Monday
Greatest Progress Made by French
Enemy Retreat not Ended.
The Germans have materially stiff
tned their defense against the British
and Americans and French troops on
me ricaroy oattle front, hut they hav
been unable to stem the tide of ad
vance against them.
Although the forward push of the
aiues nas been slowed down some-
wnat, nevertheless they have made
runner important progress from th
north of the Somme, where the Amer
icans and British are fighting togeth
er, to the northern bank of the Oise"
rivpr, where the French troops are
engaging the enemy.
The Americans and their British
Dromers-in-arms at last accounts
were pressing closely upon Bray-sur
Somme, aided by tanks and armored
cars, which inflicted heavy casualties
on the enemy as he endeavored to re
tard their progress.
Across the river the German
heavily engaged the British at Lihons
and. its vicinity, and at one poin
pierced the British line and gained
the outskirts of Lihons. A counter
attack, however, entirely restored the
British line and the enemy retired
to positions east and north of the vil
Unofflcial reports from London have
credited the British with entering
Chaulnes and the British cavalry
with a penetration of the enemy's ter
ritory almost to Nesles. These re
ports, however, have received no of
flcial confirmation.
By far the greater progress has
been made by the French from the
region immediately southwest and
south of Roye to the Oise river
Here they have driven their line well
across the Roye-Conipeigne road and
at Cambronne have reached the road
leading from Compiegne to Noyon
Since the capture of Montdidier the
French have penetrated eastward to
Tilloloy. a distance of about seven
miles and to Canny-surMatz, more
than eight and a half miles, and
through the hilly region southward
to the Oise have averaged gains ex
ceeding Bix miles, over a front of 12
miles...
The stiffening of the German de
fense does not. In the minds of the
observers on the battle front, indi
cate that the retreat of the enemy has
ended. Rather it is assumed that
these maneuvers are similar to those
carried out over the Marne front
when strong rear guards covered the
retirement of the crown prince s ar
mles northward.
The smoke of large flies continues
to be seen behind the enemy's lines
and the movement of long transport
columns eastward Is considered evi
dence that It is the intention of the
enemy ultimately to retreat to new
lines of defense. Aviators have des
troved all the bridges across the Som
me from the region of Peronne south
ward, and with the enemy's com
municating lines either in the hands
of the allies or dominated by their
guns the retrograde movement nec
essarily must be slow. Therefore,
strong rear guard actions are requir
ed to save large numbers of men and
LMins and enormous Quantities of
stores from capture. The allied
troops gradually are encircling Roye
and its capture, which seems lmmi
nent, will greatly heighten the difti
cultios of the Germans in falling back
Intensive air lighting is proceed
ing over the battle line. In Friday's
battles 39 German machines were de
stroyed and 22 driven down out of
control. The British war office ac
knowledges that 23 Briitish machines
are missing. L'n-official estimates
bring the number of prisoners taken
by the allies up to 36,000,000 and
the number of guns captured to more
than 500.
On the Vesle front the Germans on
the northern side of the stream are
reported to be entrenching and
stringing barbed wires over the terri
tory where they are facing the French
and Americans.
EY E-WITX ESS DESCRIBES
FIGHTING OF t. S. TROOPS
Officer of Mart new, In letter to Com
mander, Tells of Operations Around
Chateau-Thierry and of the Valua
ble Aid Rendered by American
Soldiers Numerous Instances of
Individual Bra very
Washington, August 12. A graph
ic eye-witness account of the fight
ing near Chateau-Thierry in which
American divisions including the ma
rine brigade took part early in June
was made public to-day by the navy
department. It Is In the form of a
long letter from an officer of the ma
rines to .Major General Harnett, com
mandant of the corps, and the slory
told Is of peculiar significance as in
the stand of the Americans along this
line which saved Paris. The name
of the writer is not disclosed.
The Americans were, rushed t. tin?
ine In motor trucks to support the
hard-pressed French, and June 1 tho
marine brigade deployed on a ai'pport
position, the battalion commun ity! by
Major Thomas Holcomb hurrying In
to line as the men climbed off the
trucks. The Germans were coming
on and June second the Ftench drop
ped back, passing through tho Amer
ican lines.
"We had Installed ourseJves in a
house in Lavoie Clint el, a little village
between Champillon and Luey-Le-Bocage,"
the writer says, "From one
side we had observation of the north
and when the Germans attacked at
five p. m. we had a bos seat.
"They were driving at hill 1S5
from the north and northeast and
they came out on a wonderfully clear
day In two columns across a wheat
field. We could see the two thin col
umns advancing in perfect order un
til two-tniras of the columns, we
Judged, were in view.
"The rifle and machine gun fire-
were incessant and overhead shrap
nel was bursting. Then the sharp-
nel came on the target at each shot.
"The white patches would roll a
way and we could see that some of
the columns were still there, slowed
up, and it seemed perfect suicide for
them to try. You couldn't begrudge
a tribute to their pluck, at that.
BOCHES RACE FOR COVER.
"Then, under that deadly fire, and
a barrage of rifle and machine gun
fire, the Boches stopped. It was too
much for any men. They burrowed
in or broke to the cover of the woods
and you could follow them by the rip
ples of the green wheat as they raced
for cover."
The Writer declares the rifle fire
of the marines amazed the French
who saw it
"That men should fire deliberately
and use thei.r sights and adjust their
range." he says, "was beyond their
experience. It must have had a tell
ing effect on the morale of the Boche
for it was something they had not
counted on. As a matter of fact, after
turning back the weakened French,
then running up against a stonewall
defense, they were literally up In the
air, and more than stopped. We found
that out later from prisoners, for the
Germans never knew we were in the
front line when they made that at
tack. They were absolutely mysti
fied at the manner In which the de
fense stiffened up until they found
that our troops were in line."
The letter tells in detail of the days
of fighting that followed. It describes
a daylight charge against a machine
gun post and of scouting raids up to
June six, when the whole brigade
swung forward, to straighten out the
line. This action resulted In the cap
ture of Belleau wood.
Major Sibley's battalion of the
marine regiment led the way here
with Holcomb In support. The woods
were alive with enemy machine guns.
That night word came back that Rob
ertson with twenty men of the Ninety-sixth
company had taken Boures
ches, breaking through a heavy ma
chine gun barrage to enter tha town.
Robertson, fighting with an automat
ic In either hand, was hit three times
before he would allow himself to be
taken to the rear.
UNMINDFUL OF DANGER.
Speaking of individual acts of brav
ery, the writer says of Duncan, a com
pany commander, "before he was
mowed down, had his pipe in his
mouth and was carrying a stick," Lat
er, he adds, "Dental Surgeon Osborne
picked up Duncan and with a hospit
al corps man had just gained some-
shelter when a shell wiped all three
out."
Private Dunlavy, killed later, cap-
turned an enemy machine gun in Bou
resches, which he turned on the foe
with great effect, while at another
point, "young Timmerman charged n
machine gun at the point of the bayo
net and sent in seventeen prisoners
it a clip."
When the enemy made a stand at
one point in the woods, .MDley s Dal
talion was withdrawn and for an hour
fifty American and French batteries
hammered the wood. Hughes, with
the tenth company, then went in and
his first message was that the wood
Kid been cut to mince meat. Over
ton, heading the . K!h company, linal
ly charged the rock plateau killing
or enntnring every gunner and all
guns with few casualties.
The eighty-second company lost all
ts officers and Major Sibley and his
adjutant, Lieutenant Bellamy, recor
gani.ed it under fire, and charged a
machine gun nest at the most criti
cal time in all the fighting.
'I wonder if ever an outfit," the
letter says, "went up against a more
desperate Job, stuck to it so gamely
without sleep, at times on short ra
Hons with men and officers going off
like flies; and I wonder if in all our
list of gallant deeds there ever were
two better stunts than the work of
Sibley and Holcomb."
Drastic Sugar Penalties.
Managers of prominent New York
hotels found guilty of violating the
sugar-rationing regulations are said
to regard the penalties imposed as
too severe. These have Involved for
some the alternative of a thirty days'
suspension of their pastry, ice-cream
and makjag licenses or a fine of $5,-
uimi, payame to tne Red cross. One
hotel has had to close its dining-room
to the public for two days, and a
group of others operated under a sin
gle management has surrendered its
candy manufacturing license and con
tributed $10,000 to the Red Cro.
nd Y. M. C. A.
These are, in fact, drastic damages
for what are not necessarily wilful
nfractions of the Food Administra
tion's regulations. Some managers
exprwsly disclaim :ui." inteution to
heard sugar. L'i:t the Federal Food
Hoard Investigators have had to
judge by acts and not intentions.
Very recently one of the most promi
nent firms of candy makers In the
country was as heavily penalized for
similar violations, and a widely
known manufacturer of malted milk
was obliged to pay $50,000 to the
Red Cross.
Other hotels and concerns making
a large use of sugar may profit from
the experience. The fines are due
