iously-awsited figures on the work OF
the navy and shipping in general. His
declaration that between forty and
fifty per cent of the German subma-
rines operating in the North Sea. the
Atlantic and the Arctic oceans had
been sunk was not the least interest
ing OF his announcements and there
was an indication Of the unceasing
war the British and American patrols
are making on the submarine in his
statement that during the last quarter
the enemy had lost as many subma-
rines as during the whole OF 1916.
The first lord. speaking of his de-
partment, said that. in addition to an
increase In the personnel. the services

Premier kerensky Makes Strong Plea
for Supplies and Cash from
United States.

Petrograd. Nov. 3.-In view OF re-
ports reaching Petrograd that the i'm.
preston was spreading abroad that
Russia was virtually out OF the war,
Premier Kerensky discussed the pres
ent condition of the country frankly
with the Associated Press. He said
Russia was worn out by the long strain
but that 1t was ridiculous to say the
country was out Of the war
The premier referred to the years
In which Russia had fought her own
campaigns. alone. with no such assist,
ance as has been extended to France
by Great Britain and now by America
He said he felt help was needed urg-
emily and that Russia asked It as her
right
He urged that the United States
give aid in the form OF money and sup.
plies and appealed to the world not to
lose faith in the Russian revolution.
Russia. M. Kerensky added. was
taking an enormous part in the strug-
gle and those who said she was out OF
1t must have short memories.
Russia has fought consistently
from the beginning. She saved France
and England from disaster early in the
war. She is now worn out by the
strain and claims as her right that the
allies now shoulder the burden"
Thus Premier Kercnsky explained
Russia's position to the correspond.
ent, The premier was seated In the
library of the former private office OF
the emperor In the winter palace. The
correspondent called attention to
widely contradictory reports on Rus
sia's conditions and asked the premier
for frank statement OF the facts.

Washington, Nov. 5.--Armed forces
under the American flag have hal
their first clash with German soldiers
in an attack which the Germans made
on first line trenches where the Unit
ed States troops had been taken for
instruction. and three Americans were
killed, five wounded and twelve cap
tured or missing.
The War Department made this
known on receipt OF a dispatch from
Gen. Pershlng showing that the Ger.
man forces, soon after learning the
position of the new enemy from over.
seas, had launched desperate effort
to overcome them.
The Teuton attack came In the form
of heavy barrage fire which isolated
salient of the American trench, and
apparently left small force of Ameri.
cans at the mercy OF their enemies.
That the American soldiers fought
gamely is shown by Pershing's report
OF prisoner being taken by them.
How some of his troops escaped. bring,
ing this German back with them, is
not told in the brief dispatch.
Berlin.-Outside the brief reference
in the general staff report, no details
are available here with regard to the
capture OF the First American troops
In France. The official bulletin says
they were made prisoner in the region
OF the Aisne-Marne canal in the sec.
