ITISHTO WATCH FOR DEUTSCHLAND j Make Attempt to Capture It on Return Trip Pashington, July 11.—Apart from omatic efforts to cause the deten- of the German submarine ftschland in Baltimore, the British Proment 1s preparing to block its rm vo means of a cordon varships outside the three mile t. It is understood that specially ptructed motor boats, or *“subma- catchers,” as they are termed in British navy are to be dispatched e Virginia capes. ive hundred of these motor boats p done excellent work in the Brit- channel. Many of them came inally from the United States un- ed and have been equipped with pe inch guns and their crews put pugh training to detect and run N the undersea boats. It is not Wwn whether they are coming pss the Atlantic 'er or whether they will be brought on other ships. merican naval officers here do not e the opinion advanced by the jmans that it will be a very simple ter to escape. They also are skep- jl about the ability of the Deutsch- il to remaln four days under water. Yy admit, however, that the tschland probably can make ap- piable speed even at a depth of 100 and regard the task of running the undersea boat as extremely ult. laval officers admit that to all ap- ances the submarine has great lantages in eluding capture, but v point out that it is not as simple t looks. The danger for the sub- e, they say, is the reduced cruis- radins when submerged. Vhether British warships can, un- international law, flre at the htschland without ‘warning is a stion still discussed by officials o. As a merchant ship the hland is entitled to the same eges as any other merchant ves- The Unfted States is on record ontending most emphatically that erchant ship must be warned, that papers must be rescued and that and search must be exercised be- psshe can be destroyed.

Otherwise she is blockade runner which could be or- red to stop, and if she attempted to bnierge it would be justifiable to k her. ) “It is unlikely,” the Guardian con- ues, “that the moral of the ap- arance in American waters of a erman submarine will be missed, ter the threats of Count Von Re- ntlow and the other Tirpitz writers st spring.

Agree- ments of American purchasers cf Canadian nickel not to re-export the metal, Acting Secre Polk ex- plained, were purely private and no resort could be had to the state de- partment to interfere with nickel shipments on the German super-sub- marine. Von Bernstorff Curious. New York, July 11.—Count Von Bernstorff, ambassador from Ger- many to the United States, announzed this morning that tomorrow he would go Yo Baltimore “unofiicially” to see the under-water liner Deutschland and congratulate its commander. “I am exceedingly anxious to see the eDutschland,” Count Von Bern- storff said. “Because, as all Germans are, T am proud of its exploit. I am going to Baltimore, however, only as a German citizen and not as the ambassador.” The count denied there was a let- ter for President Wilson aboard the Deutschland. Asked what the mail sacks contained which were carried | aboad the Deutschland he said: under their own “You must not forget that we have had no mail from Germany for many day Here was the first chance to send it and, of course there was a great deal of i In reply to a query as to the inten- tions of officers of the Deutschland to return, the ambassador said: “I want again to impress upon you that this is a trip entirely unofiicial and one undertaken by the North German Lloyd company. Its return will be in the same capacity. The submarine, I should say, however, will not start on its return for several weeks. Certainly not for at least two weeks. When it does return I shall be very happy to entrust it with some mail from this side.” Does Not Change Situation. Tondon, July 11, 2:46 a. m.—The Daily Graphic, commenting upon the trans-Atlantic voyage of the German submarine Deutschland, says: “While the submarine trip does credit to German enterprise and sea- manship, it leaves the maritime situa- tion where it was before. The risk of disaster is immense and the capacity of submarines to carry commoditi which Germany needs is insignifi- cant.” The Daily Express asserts that if a dozen submarines were to reach America they certainly would not af- fect the blockade.

BRITISH SMASH ON T0 GONTALMAISON (Continued from First Page.) second line of German defenses Be- yond Contalmaison heavenwards and raining shrapnel from the sky earth- ward. Greatest Spectacle of War, The amount of ammunition British are continuing to expend is astounding and, as a spectacle, this afternoon eclipses anything The Asso- ciated Press correspondent has seen since the affensive began. From one point he was able to see from the region of Albert to the bend in the Somme in front of Peronne the pres ent line of battle mapped across the fields, woods, valleys and hills by shell bursts. Nineteen great British or French sausage balloons were visible. The absence of such balloons on the Ger- man slde was the result of their de- struction by Pritish Projectiles and aeroplanes. Artillery observers con- sider this a big handicap to the Germans. Over the French lines speedy Nieu- port aeroplanes were dashing past balloons, going or coming at the rate of 120 miles an hour and as, a British officer said, these little machines with their smart build and dashing movement express the feelings of the French. Passing through the French lnes, the correspondent noted that the French had some of the galety as- sociated with the natfonal tempera- ment instead of the grimmness which ‘has'come to be attributed to them in this war. Sharp competition between the two famous French army corps as they pressed forward to the capture of Biaches, which placed the French on the Somme river with a six mile depth of gain, has set every Frenchman’s eve flashing. Tivery villagee taken has been razed by shellfire, but there has been no comylaint, only rejoicing. The Germans are concentrating heaw- ily between the Ancre and the Somme where there is no river between them and the Allies and evidently are de- T | termined to dispute, step by step, the advance that endangers their main second line of defenses French Keep Watch on Peronne. Paris, July 11, 12:30 a. m.—The French continue to report satisfac- tory progress in their great offen- sive in Picardy. Monday's operations again were confined to the southern echelon, which has consolidated and extended its hold upon the northern plateau opposite Peronne. The outstanding French success of the day was the capture of all the German positions on Hill 97, the highest point of the plateau. The first French rush on Sunday carried them to the western slope of this hill, on which they made good their footing, but the troops waiting there had been stopped until adequate prep- aration permitted an attack on the farm buildings at the summit, which the Germans had converted into a small fortre: This assault was made with more speed and fewer casual- ties. They are now in full posses- sion of this height from which they look into Peronne, 150 feet below. The result, they claim from the whole day's fighting, is command or the left bank of the Somme to a point opposite Flaucourt, the Germans holding only a few positions on the edge of the river. This does not mean, French mili- tary critics admit, that Peronne can be captured out of hand. The 7Ger- mans, according to the statements of prisoners, have construoted for- midable defenses outside the city, hut the French believe that these are not likely to delay the capture long when General Foch decides the time is ripe to make it. French artillery already is begin- ning to throw a ring of fire around the city. How effective that artil- lery now has become is described by an officer attached to a heavy bat- tery on the Somme front, who said: “Thanks to our aviators, we have never been spottod by the enemy’s air service since we have been in our present positions. TUnder these con- ditions our work is excellent. Ob- jects aimed at are smashed with re- markable precision. For example, we have just fired four shells at a bridge more than fourteen miles away Four times the aviation offi- cer who was watching where our shipments arrived, signalled us by wireless the simple word “bridge.” French Take Over 1,300 Prisoners. July 11.—The situation re- on the Somme Paris, mained unchanged front last night. The war office statement of today says that it has been ascertained that south of the Somme the French in the last two days have taken more than 1,300 prisoners. On the Verdun front the Germans launched an attack at 4 o'clock this morning on the French positions from Fleury to a point east of Chenois. They succeeded in penetrating ad- vanced French trenches at some points but were expelled immediately by a counter attack. West of the Meuse {here was ac- tive artillery fighting in the neighbor- hood of Avercourt and Chattancourt. Northeast of Veho the Germans ex- ploded four mines, the craters of which eventually were occupied by the French. Attack at Verdun. The communication follows : “On both sides of the Somme the night passed in quiet. The total num- ber of prisoners taken by us south of the Somme in the fighting of the last few days is now more than 1,300. “On the left bank of the Meuse (Verdun front) there were severe ar- tillery engagements in the sectors of Avocourt and Chattancourt. To the right of the river the bombardment yesterday of our positions from Fleury to a point east of Chenois was re- doubled in intenmsity. At 4 o'clock this morning the Germans delivered an attack over the whole front thus bombarded. Bast of Fumin Wood and Chenois Wood the enemy gained a foothold in our advanced trenches but immedately was ejected entirely by counter attacks. Blsewhere our curtain of fire and our machine guns broke up the attacks of the enemy. The bombardment continues in this region. “West of Pont-Au-Mousson a sur- prise attack delivered by the enemy against one of our trenches west of Mortmare Wood was broken up com- pletely. “In Lorraine after spirited artillery preparation the Germans attacked the salient in our line east of Reillon, and succeeded in penetrating portions of our first line over a front of 200 me- tres. “In the vicinity of Veho the enemy attempted by the explosion of four mines to destroy one of our trenches. He was checked by our fire and driven back, leaving dead and wound- ed. We occupied the craters of the German mines. “In the Vosges, south of Lusse, an attack of the enemy was broken up with grenades. North of IméTonten- elle a surprise attack on trenches of the encmy enabled us to penetrate first line trenches of the enemy and a support trench, which we cleared out. We brought back home prisoners.” On Ttalian Front. Berlin, July 11.—(By Wireless to Sayvile.)—The officfal Austro-Hun- garian statement of Monday reports the continuance of heavy fighting on the Ttalian front. Monte Corno was captured by the Ttalians but won back by Austro-Hungarlan troops. which took prisoner 455 Ttalians. An Ttallan attack in the sector of Monte Interrotto failed Austro-Hungarian again bombarded the Italian establishments at Adria.

Lansing Not Needed. Washington, July 11.—Gen. Car- ranza has been notified that negotia- tions for the settlement of the border difficulties need not await the return of Secretary Lansing from his vaca- tion It is expected here that Carranza will propose a formal rather than in- formal conversation between Ambas- sador Arredondo and the state de- partment. American officials will accede to any plan which assures quick action. War department officials had no reports upon and discounted rumors of a revolt in the Carranza garrison were killed recently at Tampico when their launch was fired upon by Car- ranza soldiers, were denied by the state and navy departments.
