LINE PENETRATED ON
MONACU FARM NEAR
THE SOMME SECTION
Trench Section Captured
There and One Regained by
French North of Fortress of
Verddn \
(By Associated Press,l

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.-The opera
tons along the Somme on the western
front are momentarily transcribed in
interest by the situation at Verdun.
Yesterday the French, taking the Of
fensive, made an attack along a three
mile front east of the Meuse, capturing
several German trenches and organized
points of support. Paris today reports
this ground held against a series of
German counter attacks delivered last
| night.
Progress by the French in the Fleury
sector, northeast of the fortress, also
is announced. with the capture of 1,1e0
Germans in the lighting on the east bank
of the river since Angus 1.
In the Somme region the Germans
have made renewed attempts to regain
the positions they were forced to give
up to the French in the Monacu farm
! sector, near the river. Tuesday night
| These failed, Paris declares, and the
new French positions between Monacu
farm and Hem wood were organized by
their captors. Similarly a German at
| tackk south of the Somme, near Estrees,
Was futile.
London reports continuation by the
British of the work of consolidating the
ground recently gained north of the
Somme. +.
The third raid on England this week
by Zeppelin airships occurred this morn
ing over the eastern and southeastern
counties. One of the aircraft apparently
was hit, being reported flying over the
water, seemingly damaged.
The official German report today con-
cedes the gains of ground claimed by the
French in the recent fighting in the
Monacu sector of the Somme front The
rectpture by the French of a trench sec
tor which they had lost in the Laufee
wood, northeast of Verdun, is admitted
also.
Comparative quiet apparently prevails
along the battle line in the east The
official statements record sharp fghting
| in some sectors but mo- important shifts
| in position
! In Asia Minor the Russians report
an advance in the Karput region, seven
ty-five miles south of Erzingan, where
the Turks have been driven from a posi-
tion on the north bank of the Euphrates

U-BOAT BELIEVED
TOHAVE OWED TO
CLEAN GETAWAY
No Hostile Vessel Was in
Sight as Waves Closed Over
German Merchantmen Out
side the Capes
(By Associated Press.l


NORFOLK. Va, Aug. 3.-Somewhere
cut in the Atlantic today the German
merchant submarine Deutschland and
aIlied waFships were believed to be
playing hide and seek as the undersea
boat sped nomeward after passing out
the Virginia capes last night.
The Deutschland submerged a mile off
the coast shortly before 8 o'clock, and
so far as known here. was unobserved
b. the allied warship patrol guarding
the capes against her escape.
one of the last acts of Captain KoeniC
and his crew, according to Captain
Hinsch. of the tug Timmins, which act
ed as her convoy from Baltimore to
the capes, was to stand on the deck of
the submersible and give three rousing
cheers for America and the American
people.
The final dash was virtually without
incident. Eighteen miles up the Chesa-
peake bay, at :he crossing of the Old
Point and Cape Henry channels, the -ub-
mersiole began to gather speed and soon
was hurrying toward the Atlantic. With
only, slight delay after reaching the
capes, she dashed into the sea and SUBJ
merged. Only one warship, United
States torpedo destroyer, was sighted
by the submersible in her entire trip
from Baltimore, Captain Hinsch de-
clared.
NO UNTOWARD INCIDENT.
No untoward incident marked the
departure of the giant submersible. She
was accompanied only by her tug and. a
newspaper dispatch boat when she be-
San an eignteen-mile dash from lower
Chesapeake bay to the capes.
After proceeding slowly most of the
way down. she increased her power at
$3.50 o'clock and reached the capes just
after dusk. None of the allied cruisers
was visible as she passed through.
Whether she submerged before reach
irg the three-mile limit is unknown.
The two accompanying boats only know
that she disappeared unframed and that
to all appearances she had a clear field
ahead to a point where she could SUD-
merge i'm safety.
within half an hour after the last
light of the Deutschland had disappear
ed. her tug, the Thomas F. Timmins,
hove into sight seemingly satisfied with
her work ard headed up Chesapeake bay

which place the Deutschland sailed yes,

Deutschland, reported due here with the

Cotton Sets New High
Record Thursday In Spot
And Contract Markets

Cotton established new high records
Thursday both in the contract and spot
markets, the present price being IS
bale over that at the close of last week.
Spot cotton in Atlanta advanced one
fourth of a cent pound, and is now
selling at 13 1916 cents a pound, or
over Is ga. New York spots were up
40 points to 1885 and New Orleans at
one time 80 to "a points above We'd
nesday's close, but at the close were up
% to 2S points Wednesdays advance
was over 80 points.
With spot cotton at nearly fourteen
cents, ffteen-cent cotton is regarded as
not improbable.
The recent government report which
showed an unexpected low condition,
was followed by "a heavy advance in
Liverpool; and when the condition re-
port was followed by an unfavorable
weather report, the advance was car
ried still higher.
The protracted rains and floods in
the southeast during all of July dam
aged the crop. and to this is directly
attributable the present high prices.
Weather conditions in the western half
of the belt have also been unfavorable
