Group of Men on Merrick
Road - Bankers Neigh
bors Organize for Safety.

A possible attack on the life of SIR
Cecil Arthur Spring Rice, the British
Ambassador, two days after the shoot
ing of J. P. Morgan. was brought 70
light yesterday. The suspicious Incl
dent occurred on a lonely Long Island
road. when six roughly dressed men
made an attempt on Monday night to
stop the machine in which the ambas'
sador was riding. Mr.. Morgan's head
chauffeur, who was driving the car.
drove ahead through them without
stopping.
The ambassador, who was at the
Morgan home when Frank Holt shot
the fnancier, started for the Old West
bury home of Willard D. Straight, in
one Of his hosts limousines shortly
after 9 o'clock a week ago last night.
lie was driven by James Patterson. one
of Mr.. Morgan's chaufeurs.
About five miles from Westbury the
chauffeur noticed touring car which
carried no tail light. 1t kept a short
distance in front of the limousine, and
when about a mile from Greenvale, in
a lonely part of the road, it suddenly
stopped As the Morgan car took a
long rs" turn Patterson saw that the
six men who had been in the machine
had spread themselves across the
road.
They completely blocked the prog
ress of his car Patterson, fearing an
attack on his passenger, put on full
speed ahead. He charged straight into
the group with such speed that two Of
the men, taken by surprise by the
chadtfeur's action, had TO dodge 20 avoid
being run over by the big limousine.
The six men then jumped into their
own automobile and started in pur-
suit. but Patterson Opened up" the
Morgan car and got away. All that he
noticed as he sped by the men was
that there were SIX Of them and that
their machine was a dsrk-cOlored tour
ing car. When he returned the car and
it's occupants had disappeared.
No similar incidents were reported by
aulomobiists on the Westbury Road.
Captain Tunney, in charge of the
New York police who worked on the
Morgan shooting, denied emphatically
last night that he had heard of an at
tempt against the British Ambassa-
dor.
Although it is now ten days since
Frank Holt attacked Mr.. Morgan in
his home at Glen Cove. and almost a
week since the assailant dashed him
self to death in the Nassau County
iail here, fear among the residents OF
the Oyster Bay district for their lives
and property has not diminished. They
continue, as they have for the last
week, TO live in the belief that there
is a possibility OF another demented
stranger coming into their midst whose
deeds may be more farreaching in
their results than the attempted shoot

BOATS FOR WOMEN!
Health Officials Bar Girls from
Bathing in Flushing Bay.

The Board of Health has uninten-
tionally furnished the suffracists with
another argument to advance the
votes-for-women cause. No longer may
the fair ones frolic in the waters of
Flushing Bay, by order of the B. of II.
Recently Investigators of the Health
Department found that Flushing Bay
waters were polluted. All bathing
house licenses were therefore revoked
in the interest of public health. But
the board could not restrain the mem
bers Of the boat clubs from going in
for a swim. And they could not pre-
vent a boy from hanging his clothes
to the limb of a tree and bathing with

AMERICAN SHIP

other vessel, according to the members
Of the crew of tie American bark Nor
mandy, here to-day from Gulfport,

The Normandy was stopped by Ger

say. The captain was called aboard the
submarine, where his papers were
found to show that the ship had been
chartered by an American firm on jan
uary 5.
The captain was allowed to return TO
the Normandy, but under threat that
his ship would be destroyed uuless he
stood by and obeyed orders. These or
ders were TO act as a shield for the
submarine, which hid itself behind the
bark from an approaching vessel.
This vessel proved 70 be the Russian
steamer Leo. Presently the submarine
submerged and proceeded around the
bow of the Normany, so the story went,
and ten minutes later the crew of the
Normandy saw the Leo blown up.
Twenty-Five persons were on board

VANTAGE POINT
NORTH OF ARRAS
LOST BY FRENCH
Germans Capture "Much
Fought-F or" Cemetery
South of SOucheZ.

London, July 12.-From what ap-
peared to be lull on the western
front has sprung suddenly some Of the
most severe fighting in months, with
the Germans the aggressors and vic
tors.
The Souchez cemetery, seven miles
north Of Arras and hardly half the
distance southwest Of Lens, has been
wrested from the French after a Ger
man gas attack, followed by hand-to-
hand fighting with bomb and bayonet.
The French admit this loss and are
fighting to regain the ground which
they had won at such heavy cost.
Slowly the French had been tighten
ing their grip on the village Of Sou
chez. until the Germans, aware that
the capture of tie entire position
would be an important step IN the
French offensive toward Lens and
Lille, launched a terrific counterstroke
which left them masters Of the shat

the strategic importance Of the Sou

The Germans lay claim to the de-
struction of the British position on
Hill 60. near Ypres, but this finds no
Confirmation from either French or
British sources.
The French official statement on the
reverse at Souchez is as follows:
