DfUTCHLAND''S TRIP
 SURPRISES OWNERS
Completes TranscOntinental NOy age in Record Time-First Hundred Miles Were Made While Submerged.

London, Aug. 24.-Reports of the return of the German submarine Deutschland from the United States are corroborated in telegram re- ceived at Amsterdam from Bremen, as forwarded by Reuters correspond ent.
 According to this information, the Deutschland travelled 4,200 miles on her homeward voyage At the begin ming the sea was tempestuous, but later it became more calm The Deutschland proved Co be able to navi- gate the stormy seas eXcellently. Her engines worked faultlessly. No ice bergs were passed on the journey.
 The American government. says the dispatch, acted in a correct manner as a neutral, vigorously enforcing res Npect for its frontier from British and French warships by the employment of it's own men of war,
 After a British cruiser entered Chesapeake Bay at night more ef- fective measures were taken to en- force neutrality. No less than eight British warships, it is said. were on the alert, surrounded by numerous small American vessels which had been chartered for the purpose of placing nets and obtaining informa- tion as to the movements of the Deutschland Nevertheless the sub marine succeeded in leaving unde- tected. A distance of 100 miles was traversed under water without diff culty.
 The Deutschland returned home i slightly damaged, according to an Exchange Telegraph dispatch from The Hague, which says this informa- tion is contained in a telegram from Bremen The members of the crew were unwilling, it adds, to give de- tails of the return voyage.
 The arrival of the submarine sur prised her owners, as she was not eN- pected to dock within a week.

BIG GAIN BY
 ENTENTE ON SOMME
British and French in SimuItan- eOus Advance, Sweep Into Commanding Positions Along SOmme-Greeks Aid Allies.

London, Aug. 24.-Striking simul- taneously the British and French have made substantial gains on the Somme front, according to Paris and London. Maurepas has fallen to the French who have pushed forward more than 200 yards beyond the town on a front of mile and a quarter. The British report 300 yard advance south of Thiepval and capture of many prison CTS.
 The capture of Maurepas leaves Clery almost surrounded and brings the French directly in front of the important railroad town of Combles. Thievpal is in about the same posi- tion as Clery and the allied front as described now resembles the teeth of 2 great saw between which the Ger mans are tenaciously holding the ruins of several villages.
 Dispatches from the Somme indi- cate that the French are preparing to extend their offensive for a distance of thirty miles south of the present battle line. They are reported to have opened a tremendous cannonad- ing from Estrees to Lassigny and the bombardment is said to have reached an unprecedented intensity the last two avs.
 No change is reported from the east but the Russian offensive in Ar menia apparently is assuming power 1 ful proportions Petrograd reports the re-occupation of the important Armenian town of Mush and the cap ture of 2300 prisoners at Rachta.
 The situation at Saloniki front re- mains obscure but apparently there 1 has been no important change since the allied Hanks were forced back by the BulgarianS at the opening of the offensive
 There have been no further reports as to the attitude of Roumania and the main interest is centered now on Greece. Athens dispatches report Greek volunteers rushing to Seres to Itaky~up arms against the Bulgarians. Conflicting reports are being received as to whether or not the Greeks and Bulgarians actually have clashed. Re ports to the Greek capital state that l fighting has been going on at Seres for days.
 The Italians who are pushing their offensive on the extreme north of the Austro-ltalian line claim the capture of several Austrian positions. There has been an increase in artillery ac- tivity along the Isonzo but no in fantry actions have been reported.
