 WRECK CAUSE
Strange Phenomena k ASCribed as Cause
 of Wreck of the
 Cruiser Memphis
WITNESS GIVES FACTS


 NEW YORK, Sept 15.-Vivid de- scriptions of the marine phenomena, which caused the destruction of the United States cruiser Memphis, with the loss of about 70 Of her crew in the harbor of Santo Domingo, on August 29, were given today by wit nesses of the disaster who had ar rived on the steamship Iroquois The conjecture that the disaster was the result of an mdersea eruption was strengthened by assertions that noth- Ing resembling a gale accompanied the sudden disturbance.
 Under Sea Shock
 The theory that the big seas which tossed the 15,OOO-ton warship on the rocks was caused by an un- dersea shock transmitted from a dis mrbance on the preceding day at Dominican, British West Indies, was announced by Captain Theo de Booy of the American Indian Heye Foun- dation. an eyewitness of the catas- trophe. This theory. said Captain de Booy is borne out by the fact that Dominlcia lies eastSoutheast of Santo Domingo and the seas threw the Memphis in a westerly. northwesterly direction.
 The strange phenomenon. he said, was absolutely new to the experience of all who bcheld it, including the natives of the Island, accustomed as they are to outbursts or tropical storms. It had been blowing a hur. ricane from the southeast for two days. but on the morning of August 29 the sea was calm and there was no wind. Then the sea became sud denly turbulent. The roadstead be- came an angry mass of foaming waves, in which no small craft could live.
 Dashes Warship Down
 "As the fury of the marine dis. urbance increased the Memphis was seen to be dragging her anchor and gradually being driven ashore. Fi. nally wave that seemed much larg- CT than any that had preceded it, lifted up the warship, held her on its summit for moment and then dashed her down on a submerged reef within 200 yards of dry land. From the after ventilators of the cruiser was pouring a cloud of steam. Immense waves were still breaking over her, some of them as high as the tops of her tunnels, and the Memphis was showed ashore until she was only DO yards away. An improvised brooches buoy was put in operation and the men on the wrecked ship were brought ashore, some Of them terribly burned from explosions of her boilers

from the south. There can be little
doubt that Falkenhayn has won a not
able success.
In their offensive the Austrian and
German forces must labor under the
disadvantage that the lines on other
fronts which they have stripped TO
augment The army in TransylvanIa will
be subject 10 pressure which may
break them. While Falkenhayn IS
rushing his campaign against Rumania,
the Allies are on the offensive in Pr
cardy. in Galicia. in the Dobrudja and
Macedonia and on the Italian front. IL
is most unlikely that Hindenburg would
sacrifice important ground on these
other fronts merely TO press has cam
paign against Rumania.
Especially would this hold true with
respect TO the situation in the DobrudJa
and ia Macedonia, where the effect OF
any big Allied success woult instantly
react on any operation aimed against
Rumania. A successful Serbian drive
north from the Macedonian frontier or
n Russo Rumanian invas on of Bulgaria
from the Dobrudja would almost GER
tainly result in the collapse OF the
campaign in Pennsylvania and the
rushing of troops to the aid of the I'M
perilied region.

Move Relentlessly Toward
Bapaume, Capturing More
Ground on Thiepval Spur.
GERMANS VAINLY TRY
TO REGAIN LOST AREA
Haig's New Army Distin-
cuisines Itself - Rain
Holds Up French.


London, Sept. 30.-The slow British
push toward Bapaume continues. In
the face of the heavy resistance Of the
Germans, Haig's troops are advancing
steadily toward the arteries that sup
Ply their objective north Of the Somme.
During the fierce battle that still
RACES around Thiepval, the British
moved northward, beating back repeat
ed counter attacks. Further west, in
the Eaucourt-lAbbaye sector, they also
moved forward their line, gaining a
frmer grip on the road from Tongue
val to Bapaume.
Haig's announcement that to-day's
success was won by division Of the
new army gives great qualification. for
it indicates that the troops are learn
ing to fight. 1t is sign. too, of the
increasing efficiency of the artillery
and infantry preparation.
The positions won by the British are
an immensely important spur OF the
ridge north of Thiepval, rising TO a
height of 49l feet and dominating the
whole Ancre valley. From these an
advance to the banks of the stream is
made much easier.
Around Hill 1913, east Of the Thiepval
spur, the fighting is of an especially
sanguinary character. The Germans
are putting forth all their energy in
an effort to win back the ground they
have lost, but these attempts have
been unsuccessful and their cost has
been extremely high.
Bad weather still keeps the French
quiet, but everything points to re-
sumption Of the offensive on ire
mendous scale in both the French and
the British sectors. The recent local
actions, which have succeeded in weak
ening the German line by frequent
thrusts. and the bombardment, which
is Of unimaginable severity, all tend
to indicate this.
One of the results of Lloyd Georges
visit to the front will be the improve
ment of rail connection between the
bases and the firing line. This will aid
the transportation Of munitions, which
is very serious problem at the pres
ent moment.
