U-BOAT LEAVES U. S.
SUBMARINE DEUTSCHLAND ON
WAY TO GERMANY.
United States Gutter and Police Boat
Escort Submarine to See That
She Is Not Damaged.

Baltimore Nd, Aug. 3-The Ger
man merchant submarine Deutschland
departed on Tuesday on her perilOus
voyage to her home port.
When the subsea boat united from
her InOoring and started slowly on
her way she was escorted by several
government boats.
The police boat Lannon was on one
side; the United States cutter Apache
on the other. The tug Timmins,
guardian angel" for the submarine,
led the procession to the outer har-
Dor, where a small feet of British
and French warships, lying outside the
three-mile limit, were prepared to
make an attempt to sink the German
ship the moment she passed out Of
United States territory.
The Deutschland has fooled the wait
ing warships and passed out the Vir-
ginia capes at $3.50 o'clock Wednesday
night, eluding the hostile fleet with RI
diculOus ease.
AS peacefully as a ferryboat the
Deutschland dived into the open sea,
homeward bound for Germany. She
apparently was unobServed by the al
lied patrol waiting just outside the
three-mile limit.

WIN TOWN OF FLEURY
BIG GAIN ON THE VERDUN FRONT
ANNOUNCED BY PARIS
WAR OFFICE.
FORT SoUVlLLE is RELIEVED
Advance at Monaeu Farm on the SOM
me me~Front-5erIln Statement Admits
Enemy Made Important Advance
$50 Prisoners Captured.

London, Aug. 5.-The battle which
has been raging on the Verdun front
for three days turned in favor Of the
French on Thursday, with the greatest
single victory for their arms chrOnicled
at that point since the temporary re-
capture of Fort Douaumont nearly two
months ago. AS the result Of the
days fighting the entire village of
Fleury is again in French hands as
well as the whole system Of trenches
from Thiaumont to the village and ex-
tending as far as hill 800. Berlin ad-
mltted the advance of the French on
large portion Of this front.
The French victory, which was won
on a line from a point half a mile
north of Fort SOuville northwesterly
to ThiaumOnt, which lies almost due
north Of Verdun itself, is of incalcu-
liable value to the French defense. By
the gain the pressure upon Fort Sou
Vile Is greatly relieved.
The COmmuniQue from Paris says:
"On the SOmme front there were
no infantry actions during the day.
In the region of Monacu farm the ar
tillery fighting continues.
ION the right bank of the Meuse
our infantry, continuing its offensive
action on the ThiaumOnt-Fleury front,
during the day, by series Of success
slve attacks, captured all the trenches
between these two points as far as
the southeast of ThiaumOnt work and
to the edge of Hill No. 800. The vii
lage Of Fleury, attacked simultane-
ously from the northwest and south
east, has been entirely reOccupled by
our troops after a brilliant action.
The number of prisoners taken in this
action SO far counted, is more than
$50. At about the same time as the
Fleury fighting we delivered a violent
attack in the region of Chenois which
enabled us to recapture the greater
part of the ground lost ON the day be-
fore yesterday"
The German statement says:
North of the SOmme the fire of
the enemy artillery between the Ancre
and the SOmme led us to expect a
decisive attack. Owing to our cur
tain Of fire only temporary fighting
developed. In some isolated sections,
however, 1t was very heavy.
ION both sides of the Albert
Bapaume road and east Of Trones
wood strong English attacks broke
down.
Between Maurepas and the SOmme
river French assaults were repeated
seven times. We were masters of their
positions after stubborn fighting. The
enemy only succeeded in penetrating
MOnacu farm and trench to the north
ward of that place.
South of the SOmme French ad-
vanceS were repulsed at BarleuX and
Estrees.
THE enemy obtained fOOthOld on
the western part of Pepper Ridge
southwest of Fleury and in parts of
our first line trenches.
"At ThiaumOnt work, southeast of
Fleury, the enemy was completely re-
pulsed in the mountain forest, with
heavy losses, after he had temporarily
broken our line"

HANGED AS TRAITOR
SIR ROGER EASEMENT PAYS PEN
Atty WITH LIFE.
one.TIme British Knight Executed In
Courtyard Of PentonVIlIe Prison
by a Barber.

London, Aug. 4.-Sir Roger Case
ment was executed as a traitor at 8 :07
o'clock Thursday morning in the yard
of Pentonville prison.
The last moments of the condemned
man were not without interest. Over
night the public hangman, a man
named Ellis of Rochdale, who Is
hairdresser when he is not hanging
people, arrived at the prison. Ellis
received a fee Of f5 ($25) from the
undersheriff. who was supposed to do
the gruesOme work, but under the ira
dltiOnal custom had the privilege Of
hiring someone to do 1t for him.
Early In the morning Ellis tested the
scaffOld with bag of sand of exactly
the same weight as Easement. The
prisoner was aroused about seven
o'clock, and, performing his toilet, re-
ceived n visit from the governor Of
the prison, o. r. M. Davis. Then he
was asked what he wanted for break
fast.
In the last moments Easement was
visited by a Roman Catholic priest
the prisoner recently embraced the
Catholic faith. The two remained clos
eted together until few minutes be-
fore nine o'clock.
Then a medical officer, the under
sheriff and the hangman entered. The
hangman lost no time commencing his
duties. Sir Rogers arms were
strapped to his side and he took his
place in the solemn procession to the
scaffOld, short distance from the
cell. AS the procession moved on, the
clergyman read the burial service.
The condemned man stepped on the
scaffOld; his legs were piniOned, then
the rope was placed around his neck.
Lastly the white hood was placed
over the condelnned mans head.
While this was going on the chap
lain recited prayers, and with a few
moments after arriving at the scaf-
fold the executiOner touched the spring
and the unfortunate man was hurled
into eternity.

RUSSIAN VICTORY
in SERETH VALLEY
sLAVs GRADUALLY ARE LOSING
CONTROL OF INITIATIVE IN
THE cARPATHIANs.
Ridge Of Hills Is Occupied BY Gar
Nicholas Forces as They Push
Forward East of Lemberg.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
LondOn.-A Russian victory in the
Sereth Valley, Northeastern Galicia,
after a three days battle in villages
where every street was a battlefield
and every house a fortress, and Brit
ish victory over the Turks near the
Suez Canal are announced. The Rus
sian success was gained on the front
taken by General Brussiloff's center
after the fall of Brody ten days ago,
extending southwark from that city
across the headwaters Of the Sereth.
Finally breaking the desperate resist
ance of the Austrians, who again and
again hurled themselves forward in
vain counter-attacks, the Russians cap
tured six towns, including zalozce, So
miles due east of Lemberg, as well as
the whole ridge Of hills on the slopes
Of which these points are situated. A
Petrograd dispatch brought supple
mentary official statement, saying that
"a fierce artillery bombardment by the
enemy against our new position is in
progress" This indicates that the
Teutons have not abandoned their ef-
forts to regain the lost ground. In the
fighting the Russians took altogether
14O officers and 5000 men, Petrograd
asserts officially. On the Stokhod,
east of Kovel, and in the Carpathians,
however, the Cars forces gradually
arc losing the initiative to the armies
of the Central Empires, If the Teuton
official reports are a criterion. Par
ticularly in the Carpathians the Aus
trians appear to have begun vigor-
Gus counter offensive, having not only
checked the Muscovite advance, but
pushing their own lines forward, ac-
cording to Vienna.

FLEE WITH $4,000.
FIVE MEN HOLD UP PAY CAR IN
DETROIT GUARD Is
WOUNDED.
FLEE FROM CITY IN AUTO
o sid Highwaymen, Who Robbed En-
pIoyees of the Burroughs Adding
Machine Company, Are Pursued by
Posse-Hundreds See Robbery.

Detroit, Mich, Aug. Five desper-
ADDE'S, armed with revolvers and rifles,
held up and robbed the pay car of the
Burroughs Adding Machine company
on Friday within full view Of hundreds
of persons in the street and escaped
with $4,000 in cash. Rudolph Cooper,
one of the Burroughs guards, was shot
and seriously wounded.
One of the bandits is believed to be
Clyde Stratton, who escaped Sunday
night from Joliet penitentlary.
The bandits escaped in an automo-
bile and at last reports were driving
toward the open country to the north,
pursued closely by another car, while
several police cars were trailing. Coun-
try officers from out in the state are
rushing toward the band.
Police headquarters have received
no word from the police chasing the
Burroughs bandits since five o'clock,
when residents of Novi, 1s miles north
west, telephoned that they had seen
car containing five men going at full
speed to the north, closely followed by
another car with two passengers.
The robbery was the boldest crime
of its kind in the history Of Detroit.
1t occurred on Burroughs avenue, be-
tween Woodward and Cass avenues.
Hundreds Of employees Of the Cadillac
Automobile company saw the holdup.
The pay car containing the paymas-
ter, Thomas Sheehan, was returning
to the Burroughs plant from local
bank, and 1t was followed by another
car carrying armed guards. The
guards said they were delayed In the
defense Of the pay car by the idea that
the holdup was part of motion pic
ture. and they did not attempt to in
terfere until 1t was too late.
AS the pay car was passing the side
of the Cadillac plant on Burroughs
avenue touring car drew up along
side and a man stepped out and or
dered the driver and paymaster to
hold up their hands.
Rudolph Cooper, the driver, grap-
pied with the bandit, and by the time
he had been overcome the guards
drove up from behind and were met
by four shots fired from Winchesters
by the robbers. One Of the bullets en-
tered Cooper's hip. The men then
seized five of the six cash boxes.

New York, Aug. 5.-The employees
of the New York Railways company
voted on Friday to strike, and strike
ON all this company's lines was there
fore ordered.
The men on practically all the sur
face lines of the city are out, and New
Workers will have to ride on the 81"

the employees of both the 81" and sub
way may follow the surface lines out.
The New York Railways company
ignored the ultimatum of the union,
the time limit of which expired at
three o'clock, no reply being sent to
union headquarters.
At Wooster street a crowd Of Strik-
ers and sympathizers stoned a car and
its crew, forcing a stop. The car had
made its first round trip with a strike
breaking crew and was starting east
on its second trip when the attack was
made. Police reserves hurried to the
scene, and after dispensing the crowd
arrested two striking conductors.
