No in- fantry attack by either side has been reported. It seems not improbable that the Germans shortly are to ask the Amer- ns to show their merit as fighters in a battle on the St. Mihiel sector, southeast of Verdun. American pa- trols report heavy movements of troop trains from the northeast passing westward behind the Touls sector in the direction of St. Mihiel. - The heavy attacks of the Germans along the front from Rheims to the north of Soissons are still at a halt, althoush sporadic offenses are being attempted at isolated points and bombardments of violence are being carried out on various sectors, especially in the re- gion of Rheims. Everywhere the Ger- mans have essayed an attack it has met with sharp repulse. There seems to be no doubt that the allied line has been sufficiently strengtheneq to with- stand the shock troops of the Germans and it is not seemingly beyond the realm of possibility that General Foch's armies soon will take the initiative into_their own hands. Admission has been made by the military correspondent of the Berlin Vossische Zeitung that the German offensive is spent and that the German armies cannot be expected to proceed at present against the newly strength- ened allied Tines. In the Italian theatre there has been somewhat of an increase in the artil- lery and patrol encounters along the mountain front and on the lower reaches of the Piave river, but the an- ticipated attempt at an advance by the Austrians has not yet begun. IStJ1 another vessel—this time a British steamer, has been sunk by a German submarine in American wa- ters. The sinking occurred oz the Virginia capes. URGEZ CAPACITY USE OF NEW_ YORK STATE BARGE CANAL G. A. Tomlinson, Manager of New York Inland Waterways. June 6.—Unless merch- industries commence using to full capacity the New York state barge canal the Federal railroad administration’s inland water- ways committee announced here today, it would be “unprepared to relieve the impending congestion incident to mov- ing the grain crop and food products 1o the seaboard in the fall months.” The announcement was made in a letter, read at a mpeting of the Cham- ber of Commerce of the State of New York. from C. A. Tomlinson, general manager of the Inland Waterways Committee's New York canal section. Mr. Tomlinson appealed to manu facturers in New England and New York especially, “to furnish the move- ment of freight which shall justify the large capital expenditures already incurred by the Federal government.” The Federal Fuel Administration, Mr. Tomlinson said, is planning to af- ford additional relief for the railroads, in the movement of coal next winter to New England and New York up- state sections, by using the canal more extensively, and grain and food are to be moved east this way, through Buf- falo. Rochester, and across Lake Champlain. Meanwhile the movement through the canal today should be increased if the inland waterways committee is to obtain the necessary experience to carry out its fall and winter plans. TANKER HERBERT L. PRATT DOCKS AT PHILADELPHIA. ‘Was Damaged by a Mine Off the Dela- aware Capes Last Monday. Philadelphia, Pa, June 6.—With the Stars and Stripes waving gaily from her stern, the American tanker Herbert L. Pratt, damaged by a mine off the Delaware capes last Monday, arrived at her dock here today and at once began unloading her cargo of oil that a German submarine was un- able to send to the bottom of the ocean. Shipping men resard the quick rais- ing of the tanker’s bow as a fine piece of wrecking work. A diver reached her a few hours after she sank. He reported, pumping was started, and the bow rose as 3,000 to 10,000 barrels of oil and water were pumped out of the damaged compartments. CREEK INDIANS ARE NOT OPPOSING DRAFT Reported Uprising Proved to Be Noth- ing More Than a “Pow-Wow.” Henryetta, Okla., June 6—What at first reports last night appeared to be an Indian uprising near the Old Hick- ory Stamping Ground, was nothing more than a creek Indian “pow wow,” according to_a report made today by Lieut.

With the French Army in France, June 6, (by the Associated Press).— Continted attempts by the Germans to extend their lines on the Oise yes- terday met with disastrous failure. They tried to get around Pont I'kve- que by crossing the Oise in the neigh- borhood of the northernmost point of Carlepont wood, but were repulsed by the French. In the sector between the Oise and the Aisne the allies have improved their positions and captured small batches of prisoners, most of whom show signs of terrible fatigue and privation. A French prisoner, who made his escape from the German lines, de- ciared hundreds of bodies of Germans were lying around everywhere. According to his story the Germans guarding himself and others had not received rations since May 27, and were compelled to live upon what they found. The same conditions, he add- ed, prevailed throughout the German armies in the front lines. An unmailed letter found on a Ger- man officer in another part of the line tells of a similar tale of the shortage of food. SOFT COAL SHIPMENTS TO NEW ENGLAND FALLING OFF 420,000 Tons. in May Less Than May of Last Year. Boston, June 6.—Shipments of soft coal into New England fell off last month more than 420,000 tons, as com- pared with May of last year, accord- ing to preliminary reports today to James J. Storrow, New England fuel administrator. Mr. Storrow left tonight with the fuel administrators of the cther New England states to put the situation before the United States Fuel Ad- ministration at Washington. “Unless something can be done to cure conditions responsible for this big deficit in our coal receipts,” he said, “New England is faced with an- other sort of disaster next winter. HOSPITAL SHIP STRUCK MINE OFF ENGLAND Four Firemen Perished—Others Were Saved by Another Hospital Ship.

He was born in 1841 AMERICANS CHEERED AS THEY WENT OVER THE TOP German Prisoners Said They Had Not Been Fed For Four Days. With the Army in Picardy, June 6.— (By the A. P.)—American marines at- tacked the Germans at dawn this morning and gained 3% kilometers over a four kilometer front and cap- tured 100 prisoners in the Chateau Thierry sector. The French attacking at the same time on the left took 160 prisoners. The Americans now hold all the important high ground north west of Chateau Thierry. The marines again attacked at 5 o'clock this afternoon and the battle is still raging. The fight started at 3:45 o’clock this morning and the Americans had at- tained all their objectives by 7:45 o'clock. The Americans have been pressing the Germans so hard that the enemry has been forced to throw three new divisions of his best troops in the line during the last three days. The Americans sang and cheered as they went over the top and made their way swiftly through the German dead that lay strewn in No Man’s Land In addition to prisoners, the Ameri- cans captured ten machine guns. Ger- man _prisoners said they had not been fed for four days owing to the deadly fire from the French and American guns which prevented the bringing up of supplies. These Germans were without helmets. They were tired of the war. They had been told that the British opposed them, as their com- manders were afraid to let them know that it was the Americans. MAJOR THORNE E. DUELL FALLS IN HIS AIRPLANE Was Recently Assigned to Command Taliferro Field"at Fort Worth. San Antonio, Tex. June 6.—Head- quarters at Iy Field here received & messaze from Austin tonight stating j that Major Thorne 1. Dueil. recently assigned to command Taliferro Field at Fort Worth had fallen in his afr- lane near there. ‘Whether he was njured was not etated. Presumably Maj. Dell was fising from Kelly field to his new command. Maj. Deuel was accompanied on the flight by Serst. Montee. At a late hour authorities were without further information as to the accident. The information at hand was to the effect that the machine in which the nien were riding had fallen five hundred feet. It was not known cither hail been injured. The pilot of a relief plane despatched to the scene had not reported. STEAMERS WERE WARNED OF PRESENCE OF U-BOATS Went Out of Course on Voyage From Central and South America. An Atlantic Port, June 6.—An Amer- ican steamship which arrived here to- night from Central American ports with 204 passengers, was only thirty miles distant from the Eidsvold when that vessel was sunk Tuesday by a German submarine off the Virginia Capes. & The latter had been warned by wire- less of the presence of U-boats in American waters, the passengers said, and ran far out of her course. Another American steamship reached here tonight with 78 passen- sers from South America and the West Indies. The ship’s company re- mained on deck all of Monday night, wearing life belts. The boats were stocked with food and water. LODGE FAVORITE OF THE HARVARD ALUMNI. Received Highest Vote for Member of Board of Overseers.

Senator Lewis, of Illinois, dem- ocratic whip, and Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, republican, joined in declaring the navy was on the alert and ready for the enemy. Brandegee Sustained. These expressions came in the midst of a sharp debate precipitated by the reading by Senator Brandegee of Con- necticut of a newspaper editorial -cri- ticising the navy department for not warning shipping of the presence of the submarines. Commenting on this, Senators Lewis and Lodge agreed there was no complaint against the navy, though they had very different theories as to what possibly drew the sumbarines to American shores. Sen- ator Lewis said the attack was invited by false statements in congress and eisewhere regarding the nation's un- preparedness; while the Massachu- setts senator suggested that “loose brags and hoasts” about the number of American {roops transported over- seas had contributed to the presence of the raiders. While this discussion was ip progress Secretary Baker sent to congress a request for a $16,000,000 appropriation for 16 new balloon and airplane stations alonz the Atlantic and Gulf coasts, to supplement the ar- my's preparations for its part in re- pelling submarine or air attacks, Equipment for the stations is said to be in hand and they probably will be established within a few weeks ofter the money is provided. Shipping Had Been Warned. In connection with the warning of shipping Acting Secretary Roosevelt disclosed late today that a radio message was sent broadcast by the navy more than a week ago informing all shipping and shore stations that enemy submarines might appear at any point along the Atlantic coast. At that time news that the enemy had at- tacked -schooners off -the Virginia Capes had not reached the depart- ment and Mr. Roosevelt declined to discuss how the navy received the in- formation upon’ which the . warning was based. Steamers and-alf craft in port received the MmessIge. Slow- moving sailing ‘vessels without wire- less, however, had to take their chances in ignorance until they made port. Enemy Craft Heard Warning. The fact that naval radio stations have picked up several times recent- 1y unintelligible radio impulses, be- lieved now to have come from the raiders themselves, also was revealed. They were too indistinct to be read. In view of later developments it ap- pears likely that' the cnemy craft themselves heard the warning of their presence sent out. . The submarines have given no ev dence of their presence so far as Kknown here tonight since they hob- bed up off the Virginia capes Tues- day afternoon to attack the Norwezian Fidsvold. Up to that time they had Dbeen headed southward from the scene of their greatest activities off the New Jersey shore. Some_officials are known to believe the raiderg are burrying to a rendez- vous with,a steamer from which they expect to draw supplies and fuel. Oth- ers think it possible there is only one fighting submarine and that the ac- companying craft is a commercial boat like the Deutschland acting as tender and submersible supply base. GREAT UNREST AMONG AUSTRIAN WORKING CLASSES. Are Planning Strike Against Contin- uation of the War. ‘Washington, June 6.—An address to the Austrian proletariat adopted at the recent Vienna congress of the Germans socialists of Austria affirms that sreat unrest exists in the Aus- trian working classes and that a gen- eral strike against further continua- tion of the war is planned. An official despatch today from Switzerland eays the government is warned by the socialists of the conse- quences which will result from con- viction by - the proletariat that the central powers intend to continue hos- tilities for the warlike aims of the imperial governments. On the other hand, he address declares an examina- tion of the conditions in which the struggle may take place the congress is confirmed in its opinion that the present would not be favorable for a great strike. URGES UNITY BETWEEN ENGLAND AND IRELAND. Viscount Bryce, Former British Am- bassador at Washington. \London, June .—Viscount Bryce, the former British ambassador at Washington, in a-statement today in reply to the appeal of Mrs. Max Green, daughter of the late John E. Redmond, on May 24, endorses her appeal for unity between England and Ireland. He urges the ‘British parlia- ment to hasten the passage of an adequate home rule bill, but at the same time asks the people of Ireland to “make it plain to the world that the Irish people stand in line with Britain, Amerioa, Italy and France in their determination to save the world from the menace of German ruthless- ness and tyranny.” 398 GERMAN AIRPLANES BROUGHT DOWN IN MAY In Addition Several Observation B: loons Were Destroyed.

Steamship Harpathian Was Torpedoed—The Entire Crew Was Picked Up By the Steamer Palmer and Landed at an Atlantic Port. ‘Washington, June 6.—Sinking of the British steamship Harpathian one hundred miles off the Virginia capes at 9 o'clock yesterday by a Germ W1 submarine, was announced tonight at the navy department. The entire crew was ‘rescued by the steamer Palmer, which arrived late today in Chesa- peake Bay. The submarine used a torpedo. One member of the British crew was in- jured. The Harpathian was a freighter of 2800 met tons. Went Down in Eight Minutes. Only meagre details had reach- ed the department late to- night. The ship went down in seven or eight minutes and it is re- garded as probable that unlike other vessels attacked off the American; coast, she was struck without warn- ing. All British steamers ply: through the war zone are armed bu no mention of an armed guard was made in the navy reports. Further Off Coast. The submarines operating “off thel coast had not previously been heard from since the Norwegian steamer Eidsvold was sunk at 5 o'clock Tues- day afternoon, some 40 miles off the Virginia capes. The Harpathian was sunk about 60 miles further out to sea. indicating the underwater craft had gone further into the Atlantic to escape patrol boats. Operated in Small Area. The raiders apparently operated in a comparatively small arca Tuesday and Wednesday. The Irench _steamer Radiolicne was attacked off Maryland early Tuesday morninz, and about the same time the schooner Edward R. Baird, Jr., was sunk further down the coast. That afternoon the Eidsvold was sunk near the capes, the raiders having escaped southward through the patrol fleets. 1 Waiting for Bigger Prey. The fact that the braving the dangers which are convergin: submarines are from the patrols around the area o foperations leads officials to believe that the raiders are waiting for much bigger prey than they have vet found. The place where they have operated most recently is in the lane of travel up and down the coast and through it must pass much of the Important shipping going in and out of the Vir- ginia capes. . Total of Fourteen Vessels Sunk. The sinking of the Harpathian brings the total of vessels known to | have been sent down on this side of ; the Atlantic by the raiders to fourteen —six steamers and eight schooners. All the vessels were American except the Eidsvold and Harpathian, RESCUED AFTER DRIFTING 26 HOURS IN SMALL BOATS Crew Barely Had Time to Launch the Lifeboats. An Atlantic Port, June 6.—Captain Owen and the crew of the British steamer Harpathian, torpedoed and sunk off the Virginia Capes early ves- terday morning, was landed here to- night by the steamer Palmer. They were rescugd at sea after drifting for 26 hours in small boats. Capt. Owen said his quickly and that he and the crew barely had time to launch the life- boats. He was certain that it was a torpedo and not a mine that struck the' vessel.

ANTI-GERMAN DEMONSTRATION AT PONCE, PORTO RICO People Angered by Sinking of the Steamer Cafolina. San Juan, P. R, June 6.—Angered by the news of the sinking of the Porto Rico liner Carolina, by a Ger- man submarine, an anti-German dem- onstration broke out in Ponce last night. Numerous houses occupied by Germans were stoned. Feeling run$ particularly high against Spaniards of supposed German sympathy. United States District Attorney Martin today issued the following statement to the people of the island: “Be calm and quiet and determine to win the war. The harming of Ger- mans in Porto Rico will hurt us; Kill- ing them in Europe will hurt them The most effective way to avenge the sinking of the Carolina is to subscribe liberally to the Red Cross.* THIRTY YEAR SENTENCE FOR DISLOYAL REMARKS For Private Phillip H.
