Washington. - Destruction Of the
British horse transport Marina by
German submarine, without warning.
with possible loss Of American lives,
and the endangeripg Of the lives Of
seven American citizens in the sub
marine attack on the British freighter
Rowanmore, reported from Queens
town by American Consul Frost, con-
tain possibilities of reviving the sub
marine issue between the United
States and Germany.
Investigation, officials realize, may
disclose that there have been no vio-
lation of German pledges to the
United States.
Nevertheless the first reports, in
complete and transmitted by the
American consul as provisional"
caused some uneasiness.
A dispatch from Newport News,
Va, states there were forty-nine
Americans on the Marina when she
sailed from that port. The Americans
were signed here as horsemen. They
were all white and gave their homes
States.
The State Department issued this
summary Of Consul Frost's dispatch:
"The British horse transport, Mar
ina, with a mixed crew of British and
Americans, was reported sunk with
out warning by German submarine
gunfire at 3 p. m, Oct. 2S, 100 miles
west of Cape Clear, 'in an official re-
port received at the State Department
from Consul Frost at Queenstown.
Thirty-four of the crew of 104 have
been landed at Crookhaven, while ~
others, presumably those in boats l
and 3, are missing. Consul Frost says
his information SO far is simply pro
visional.'"
Survivors of the British freighter
Rowanmore, sunk by a submarine
after nearly an hours chase. were
shelled after they had taken to their
boats, according to another official
dispatch from Consul Frost. No casu-
alties were reported.
Newport News, Va.-At the offices
Of the United States Shipping Com
pany, local agents for the Donaldson
line, owners of the Marina. It was
stated Monday that the Marina was
not a transport in the service OF the
British government.
"She is one of our regular steamers
plying between here and Glasgow" 1t
was said, land was owned and operat-
ed as a merchantman by the Donald
son line. She carried general cargo
and some horses for the British gov
ernment, but she had not been COM
mandeered and still retained her
character as merchantmen"

ATTACK ON soMME By GERMANS.

Recaptured by AQgressors.

Recaptured BY Ao9ressors.
London.-In a vigorous counter-at-
tack launched with huge effectiveness,
the Germans facing the French south
of the Somme river in France have
been able to recapture parts OF their
former trenches north Of lie Maison-
ette and in the region of Biaches. In
addition 412 Frenchmen were made
prisoners by the Germans.
To the north of the river, however.
both the French and the British sue
ceeded in advancing their lines-the
British between Les Boeufs and Nor
val and the French northwest Of Sail
ly-Saillisel. In the latter engagement
sixty Germans were captured.
While in the Dobrudja region of Ru-
mania the Teutonic allies are keeping
up their advance on the Pennsylvania
front the Rumanians are still fight
ing hard in the Prahova valley and
the jul valley, where fresh gains
have been made by them.
In the Rothenthurm Pass region
Berlin records a new success for the
Austro-G Germans, but admits that
southwest OF the Szurduk pass the Ru-
manians have forced the Austro-Ger-
man columns to fall back.

Kick Of an Army Rifle.

An all-day broiling sun, added to the constant mule-kick of an army rifle that has had little chance to keep clean, has made this a strenu- ous day. Our men are giving very good account of themselves in the target scores. The instructors have given our men a hand for the bulls eyes that have been bObbing up all day. The men have shown great in tcrest with the rifle and good results have followed.
 The baseball supplies have arrived and the men are already practicing diligently for the first regiment cham pionship. Private Wosil1 will lead the tossers and from the way that he has been putting his men through practice would make "Jawn' J. Me- Graw of the Giants sit up and take notice. To Private Burgess has been assigned the task of managing the team. Although there isn't much time for this sort of recreation with the present schedule, the short prac- tice session held each evening is made the most of. The company will put the gifts to an excellent use, and in doing so has another indebtedness with which to remember the New

 The crOwning feature for the chil- dren so far was the picnic held at Elizabeth park last Friday. Two spe- cial cars took them away in the morning and returned with them at 5:30 o'clock in the afternoon. It was gala day, replete with sensations, such as the girls defeating the $oys in baseball by the score of 16 to 5.
 The final feature of the year will be the commencement program and exhibit Thursday, August IT, att 7:45 o'clock in the evening, when all the songs that have been learned during the year will be sung and the finished work exhibited. As nearly as possible a duplicate of the program of each day will be given so that those who come will have a clear idea of what the school does for the children. The complete program will be ready for publication later this week

ence. There has been a fine lot or industrial work done, including ham, mocks, market bags baskets, cog hangers, napkin rings, flower holders, India baskets, table mats, romperS, clothes bags, dolls dresses, dresses for the girls themselves, pin balls and many other articles of value to the home into which they are taken. The girls of the sewing department have made a quilt, and the boys of the hammock department have made hammocks to be given to the chil- dren's home.
 A new feature of the work this year will be a table setting demon stration this week. All the neces- sary things for the proper setting of a table will be given to the girls and they will be taught how to do it cor rectly. It is felt that as much should be done in the school as possible that can be taken back by the child into the home for the improvement of standards there.
 The school has been as cosmopoli- tan this year as ever, there being fourteen nationalities enrolled. There were children of the following na- tionalities represented German, Italian, American, Irish, English, French, Lithuanian, Polish, Swedish, Bohemian, Russian, Armenian, Jew ish and Austrian. One of the most gratifying things about the results or the school in year, when there IS so much talk about the disloyalty Of many people, is the way that the children of all these foreign lands pledge their loyalty to the flag and to the country for which it stands, and all work together as Americans. One of the most valuable contribu- tions that the school is making to

Nogales, Arizona, Aug. S.-First of all, the men of Company F wish to express their appreciation and thanks to the people of New Britain who have helped to cheer them with the many useful gifts forwarded.
 The men have spent six days or. the rifle range and, thanks to the instructions received, made credita ble scores, most of the boys averaging about thirty-five out of a possible fifty, on 200. 300. 500 and 600-yard ranges. Officer Bonenfant and Pri- vate Wickson proved themselves to be the best marksmen in the com- pany, tying for highest score at AZ.
 The scenery here is wonderful and is also as wild as the Mexicans Mo- gales is a typical western town with its small buildings, a generous sprink- ling of cowboys and half breeds and numerous dark eyed and vivacious senoritas.
