ALLIED WARSHIPS
STILL PATROLLING
FOR SUBMARINE
Apparently They Had Not Heard That
the Deutschland Went Out to Sea
Wednesday Night.

Norfolk, Va, Aug. 4.-The allied cruis
ers patrolling the entrance to Hampton
Roads TO prevent the departure of the
German submarine Deutschland still
were in position within sight of shore
during yesterday and there was nothing
to indicate they were aware of the pas
sage OF the Deutschland out through the
capes Wednesday night. Marine men
here believed the submersible had entire
ly eluded the war vessels and was safe
ly on her way across the Atlantic on her
return voyage to Germany.
Captain Hinsch of the war. bound Ger
man liner Neckar, who on board the tug
Thomas F. Timminr directed the depart
ure of the Deutschland, said that the
underwater freighter passed unobserved
within 100 yards of a United States de-
stroyer on neutrality duty about mile
off the capes. He also disclosed that the
submarine submerged twice on her way
down the bay to test her engines.

"He was convicted and punished for
treachery of the worst kind to the em,

of Germany"
After declaring that Easement had or.
ganized German assistance for the Irish
rebellion. the statement continues:
Conclusive evidence has come into
the hands OF the government since the
trial that he had entered into an agree
ment with the German government which
provided that the brigade
which he was trying to raise among
Irish soldiers held as prisoners might be
employed in Egypt against the British
crown. Those among the Irish soldiers
who resisted were subjected to treat
ment of exceptional cruelty by the Ger
mans Some of them since have been
exchanged as invalids and have died in
this country, regarding Easement as
their murderer"
In conclusion the statement points out
hat the suggestion, which has been con
,lusively disproved," that Easement went

In Three Days Time French
Have Won Back Territory
Which 1t Took the Ger
mans Weeks to Win, and
Battle Is Now Continuing
with Great Intensity
Berlin, Aug. 4.-The village of Fleury
was regained by the Germans this morn
ing, it was officially announced by army
headquarters.

Paris, Aug Attacking simultane.
ouslv from the northwest and from the
southeast, French troops yesterday
stormed the village of Fleury, three
miles north of Verdun, and captured sew
eral hundred Germans.
In the evening, the Germans launched
a furious counter attack. After several
attempts, they succeeded III getting a
footing in the southern part of the VII
lage. The French to-day continue to
hold the northern section of the place.
Heavy fighting is still in progress.
An official statement says that at one
period of the fighting during the night,
the French entered the Thiaumont earth
works, but withdrew, owing to the IN
tensty Of the German bombardment. All
attempts to drive the French from their
station southeast of Fleury were frus'
trated French positions at Nacherau-
Vile also were attacked during the night.
The French declare the Germans were
thrown back, with severe loss.
The recapture by the French OF Fleury,
which had been held by the Germans for
more than month, caused great elation
in France. Military observers say it
marks an epoch in the six months battle
for the fortress of Verdun. The Germans
appear to be less capable of operations
on their old overwhelming scale. Mill |
tary men think the initiative is about |
to pass to the French.
In their three days offensive, the
French regained all the ground that the
Germans had taken several weeks to
They took all the positions for
a depth of about mile from the slopes
OF Souville fort to the approaches OF
hill 500, as we'll as in the woods east
OF Vacherauvile and the Vignes ra-
vine. The French also installed them
selves in positions southeast ond south
west of Thiaumont woods.

contest between the two parties.

chosen treasurer. Matthew Hale of Mas
sachusetts, vice chairman of the national
committee, will be in active charge of

MEXICAN

Border Differences
NOTE DELIVERED TO
STATE DEPARTMENT
In Reply to the Last Ameri-
can Communication to De
Facto Government

Washington, D. c., Aug 4,--'rhe Mexi-
can ambassador, Arredondo, has delivered
a note to the state department replying
to the last American communication to
the de facto government, announcing the
appointment of the three Mexican mem
bers of the joint commission to under
take the settlement of the border diff
ferences.
The note announces the appointment
of three commissioners, with instructions
to devote their attention preferably to
the solution of the points mentioned in
the previous note. Thus the de facto
government apparently rejects the pro-
posal that the commission consider other
questions than the military situation. II
limits its discussions to the subjects
suggested by Carranza,

CLING TO CANOE TWO HOURS.
Two Young Men Nearly Exhausted when
Rescued in Lake Champlain.

Burlington, Aug, s.--George j. Moody
OF Chicago ILL.,, and Charles II. Falkner
of East Orange, n. j., who are making
a canoe trip from New York through
Lake Champlain, clung TO their canoe for
two hours yesterday morning, after it
had capsized in heavy sea, about
mile from the shore of Shelburne farms,
before they were rescued by III. A. Kane,
an employe of the Webb estate. The
young men, who were very nearly ex-
hausted, were attended by DR.. c. A.
pease of this city, who was at Shelburne
farms at the time of the accident, and
after being cared for at Mr.. Kane's resi-.
dence, were taken TO DIR. Webb's home,
They completely recovered from all i'll
effects of the mishap before evening
Fortunately for the canoeists, practical
ly all of their equipment was strapped
into the canoe, so that the only articles
lost were two pairs of shoes and a cap.
The travellers, who are both very young
men, left New York on July and jour
neyed by easy stages up the Hudson
river and through Lake George, camping |
each night on the shore. They spent |
night encamped near Cedar |
Beach and yesterday morning, despite a
strong wind embarked for Burlington.
They had hoisted sail to aid their
progress and when near Shelburne farms,
a sudden gust of wind caused the frail
sraft TO capsze and the canoeists found
themselves suddenly struggling in high
,ea. Both men are expert swimmers but
leemed it better to cling to their over
turned canoe than TO attempt to swim
ashore. They called Justify for help, but
iad been in the water almost two hours
md were fast becoming exhausted when
heir cries were heard by Mrs Z. A.
Zane, whose house is near the lake shore.
She summoned her husband, who quickly
owed out TO the men and took them
nto his boat. The canoe was afterwards
'rought to the shore by a motor boat.
