WITH THE FRENCH ARMY AT
vERDUN, November 4.-French pa
trolls have penetrated far beyond Fort
vaux into the lines hitherto held by
the Germans, but were not able to get
in touch with the former defenders.
It appears probable that the Germans
have retired their lines considerably
to the rear, their artillery positions
being untenable since the French
drove them from Douaumont after sic
lencing ninety Of their batteries.
Military observers point out that the
Germans were forced to withdraw from
mont fell. whereas the French held Fort
Vaux four months after the Germans had
captured Douaumont.
The same observers regard the German
claim that they were preparing to with
draw to stronger lines before the battle
of Douaumon' as untenable. unless the
Germans are ready to admit that their
withtfa wal was one of the most unsuc-
cessful operations OF the campaign, as ii
cost them more than 5000 prisoners and
the humiliation Of twenty-five battal-
ions.
Signs that the Germans are preparing
for a counter stroke are entirely lacking.
Revenge for Heavy Gums.

BERLIN. November 4. wireless to Say
VILE, n. Y.-Capt. Hans Rose of the
German submarine U.53 today gave an
interesting account of the voyage Of
the submarine to American wat.is and
his impressions of Newport and of the
activity OF the suDn.aline "a N,n-
tucket. Despite the seriousness Of the
mission of the submarine, said Capt.
Rose, the voyage vas -narkea - 81. ..ny

the dispiriting effects to the men Of

down in their cockleshell.
The weather CONDITIONS during the
trip. said Capt. Rose, were at times
'ery bad. but the submarine surmount-
ed them so successfully that the prac-
ticability of making the transatlantic
round trip not once, but under virtual
ly all conditions. might be regarded as
having been demonstrated. Storms were
faced, said the commander, which would
have tested the stoutness of surface
coats even Of the greatest dimensions.

Once off the Grand Banks the SUBJ

Rose did not desire to replenish his
fuel or provisions that Capt Rose re-
ceived the impression he would have
sired supplies. The American officers,
and particularly their wives and daugh-
marine in large numbers and were
most deeply interested in her.
Proves to Be Sea Lawyer.
The submarine began her commerce
destroying activities after leaving
Newport. The American freighter
kansan, the first steamer encountered,
proved to be a regular sea lawyer. A
long argument was necessary to in
luce her to send an officer with papers
aboard the submarine, and during the
parley the ship had already started by
wireless a long account of her expe-
renee, which the submarine was aule
to jam with it's own wireless.
The Norwegian steamer Christian
Knudsen. according to Capt. Rose. was
sunk because she was carrying oil. The
captain added that the London report
that the submarine had replenished
er supplies from the Christian Knud-
sen was incorrect.
Showed Zeal in Stopping.
The British steamer Stephano, which
came along while the U-5a was busy with
the Dutch freighter Bloomersdijk, showed
extraordinary zeal in anticipating the SUBJ
marines orders and commenced stopping
at the first signal to send over her pa
pers. The submarine found her an empty
ship when it finally approached her.
Sixteen American torpedo boat destroy
ers were assembled in the vicinity, Capt.
Rose said. but did not interfere in any
way with the submarines military meas
