The high spirit and morale of its men ahd the master seamanship of its captain and offi- cers make such a stirring story of heroism that I wish the entire nation might know of the splendid way in which the huge transport met and foiled an attempt to destroy it." Secretary Daniels today admitted that the navy, acting on the presump-| tion that Germany would make a big U-boat drive against the American transports, had strengthened convoys and increaséd other anti-submarine measures. Secretary Daniels cited the case of the Mount Vernon as showing that Germany in despefation growing out of the menace from American forces, is about to plunge jnto an adventure- {some attempt-te transports.

What is officially described as a “formidable thrust” developed this morning by Haig’s forces along the Arras-Cambrai road, which crosses the canal six miles from the outskirts of Cambrai. On the line to the south the British pressing forward to- ward St. Quentin are now five miles from the Hindenburg line, where the German retreat is accompanied by the greatest re- sistance. Successes were also scored by the French im the St. Quentin region where their line joins the British. There had been indications that the Germans intended making a stand along the Crozat canal, defending the strong- hold of La Fere, the principal outlying protectiom of the St. Gobain Massif on the north. This plan appears to have been frustrated by the French, a crossing of the canal opposite Liez, northwest of La Fere, having been forced last night. Elsewhere the French are right up to the Crozat positions along virtually the entire length of the canal with their infantry only four miles from St. Quentin and their cavalry patrols hard upon La Fere. There have been no further marked advances by the French along the more southerly streches of the St. Gobain defenses before Laon. Here the German resistance now is most desperate. The enemy has massed enormous numbers of guns in this region. Inroads have been made upon the Massif on the west by the French, however, and there are no indications that they intend accepting the stabalizing line in this sector. British Near Hindenburg Line lat New Points on West Front [By United Press} LONDON, Sept. 9.—The British are attacking Gouzecourt on the Hindenburg line. British patrols occupied Vermand and Vendelles and reached the western and northwestern ‘edges of Ephey on the Hindenburg line. The Germans are making every preparation to defend St. Quentin and Laon. A German concentration of heavy guns was observed north of Craonne just above Chemin des Dames. French within Four Miles of St. Quentin; St. Gobain Untenable PARIS, Sept. 9.—The French are only four miles from St. Quentin. Cavalry patrols are close to La Fere. The French hold practically the entire Crozat canal. The fall of La Fere is probable. St. Gobain is practically untenable for the Germans. To the westward the Allies have taken Villeveque and St. Emile in the advance toward St. Quentin. BLASTED BY FRENCH | participated with Company I, 11th | July 26, 1865 ana in which Lieut.
