AMERICAN TARS ON
 EXHIBITION NIGHTS
Hundreds of English Gather on
 Cliffs to Watch Squadron

Base American Flotillas in British Waters, July 26.-Correspondenc of the Associated Press) Atop a ste ID activity that skirts the harbor of this port much like the Palisades do the Hudson river hundreds of villagers and folk from a nearby city gather each night to watch the American de- stroyers-rhe trim little fighting ships Uncle San has sent across the At- lantic to combat the submarine. On a peaceful, beautiful, moonlight night these people have a picture of silent activity that is hard to beat.
 From their high perch the people can see for several miles a vast ex- panse of hills and water that make a wonderful setting for the fighting craft at their feet. The British and Americans sailors on shore leave bring their girls up there and men and women trudge baby carriages from miles around to watch the silent ships. It has come to be one of tho most popular walks in the country; even the railroads run weekend eX- cursions to the spot bringing hum dreds of holiday-clad boys and girls from great distances to see the Americans.
 Up to a certain hour the ships are outlined in the darkness by many lights. But all the time there Is scene of activity on board and in the water. The bluejackets with their little white round caps seem to be al- ways moving about, motor dories dart here and there among the ships, orders are called out and occasionally is heard the shrill warning of the horn on the dories. Always the dories are running from ships to shore, load ed with men going on leaves or re- turning to ship. Wireless and search lights which at night replace the flag signals and semaphores are exchang ing messages and lights on board each ship flicker up and out in Morse code.
 In the midst of all this is heard the strains of string music-guitars, ban jos and violins-which seem to be the favorites with the American boys. From the deck of the supply or mother ship, which boasts a string orchestra cr fifteen pieces, Hawaiian melodies enchant the music lovers on shore. From other ships music comes from photographs, with which every ship in the hotillas is supplied On Week-ends many of the townspeople crowd into small boats and swarm about the destroyers in their anxiety to get as close aes possible to the music.

of the violent thunder storm and it's attending electrical disturbances yes- terday afternoon, and as a result con- siderable damage was done here.
 / The wind, blowing with almost hur- ricane force. levelled fields of corn and other vegetables, toppled over giant trees, big branches from others, and doing other damage. It put the lighting service out of commission for some time, and the merchants whose places are not equipped for gas, either burned candles last night or closed their stores early.
 In the wood near White Oak the wind raised havoc and the storm s path was marked this mornng by a wide row of falling trees and the debris distributed by the wind.
 During the storm a bolt of light ming struck a hydrant on Whiting street and as a consequence the inn mediate locality was verita ble lake The water released by the breaking of the hydrant spouted high in the air until it was shut off and the street was flooded.
 While the storm did considerable damage it served to give relief to the sweltering townspeople, and they re- ceived it gratefully.

French Capture Positions
Germans Planned to Hold

AT THE FRENCH FRONT IN
FRANCE. SUNDAY. Mar. 25-CVia
Paris, March 16)-French troops
had a chance today to show
their dash and skill in semi
open fighting and took ample ad-
vantage Of it. At the southern pivot
Of the sO-called Hindenburg line,
which is supposed TO be about at
Vailly, they came to grips on several
occasions with the Germans, who at
tempted TO make stand on the edge
of the Crouy plateau, which is a
strong offshoot of still larger Loan
plateau. The Associated Press corr
spondent watched today's engage
ment from a nearby height and saw
the French soldiers gradually push
away the German opposit un and at
tain the points they were seeking to
occupy with a precision little short
of marvellous.
The French had kept close on the
heels of the retiring Germans since
they quit scissors, never giving them
moments respite until the pur-
suers occupied the sort of triangle
formed by the three points of Crouy,
Missy Sur-Aisne and Pontrouge on
the Mauberg roads. At the last
named the Germans evidently ex-
pectd TO cease their retirement as
was shown by their abandoning the
useless work of saving down fruit
trees.
Soldiers InCenSed.
1t was this wanton devastation by
the Germans in the country around
scissors and other places which so
incensed the French infantry, COM
posed mostly of peasants and farm
ers. that they could scarcely be re-
strained from a desperate rush for
ward after the retreating foe. But
prudence prevailed and careful
handling enabled them eventually to
capture from the Germans many po-
sitions which had been prepared for
stern defense, such as Vuillery and
Pont Rouge.

Mayor Mitchell
ToCome Before
". Y. Assembly

ALBANY. n. Y, March 27.-The
senate Monday night unanimously
adopted a resolution summoning
Mayor Purroy Mitchell of New York
before it to substantiate his recent
statement that apparently State Sen.
Robert f. Wagner. democratic min
GRITTY leader. was working more in
the interest of Germany than the
United States in connection with the
Rockaway Point land bill.
The resolution that Sen. Wagner
introduced last Friday, the day after
Mayor Mitchell made his statement,
was amended TO provide for the ap-
pointment OF committee to decide
not later than Wednesday upon
rules of procedure TO govern the in
quiry and the time the mayors ap-
pearance would be ordered. The
amendment was offered by Majority
Leader Elon r. Brown and also was
unanimously adopted.
II was explained that the amend
ment had been agreed TO by inform
ity and minority and that the sub
poena for the mayor probably would
be issued on Wednesday Immediately
after the receipt of the committee
report.
In the debate preceding adoption
of the resolution Mayor Mitchell re-
ceived not one word of support, re-
publicans and democrats severely
criticizing him for making the al
legation. and uniting in expressing
their entire faith in the loyalty and
integrity of Sen. Wagner.
In requesting adoption of his reso-
luton to summon Mayor Mitchell be-
fore the bar of the senate, Sen. Wag-
ner said in part:
THE mayor OF New York made a
most vile and scurrilous attack upon
my patriotism and honor. He
charged me with working in this
body in the interest of the German
government with whom we are on
the brink OF war.
This dastardly charge is a
malicious lie. The attack was
prompted by my opposition to the
Rockaway land bill as originally
proposed. The bill. as every one
here knows, was unanimously reject
ed by this body.
This senate then decided TO take
another course for the acquisition of
the property for fertilization pur-
poses. free from any faint of deal or
speculation. This latter course was
adopted by us after assurances from
the military officers and state Off
cials that our action would not cause
a single days delay in the erection
of the fortihcations-and there has
been no delay That matter is now
closed and a fixed policy adopted by
the legislatures.

AS the correspondent watched the
countryside over which the attack
ing troops we're proceeding not a
vestige could be seen OF the advanc-
ing men on foot. They trickled
through under cover of the brush
wood until they had assembled in
sufficient strength and near enough
for striking a blow. Meanwhile,
German airmen circled overhead un-
able TO locate them. Then an inferno
of artillery fire broke forth from the
French guns. after which a final
squirt by the infantry carried the po-
sition. which on this occasion was
big farm house near Marginal.
This was held in the face of desper-
ate counter attacks.
The Germans themselves had few
trenches in this vicinity. relying for
the most part on organized centers
of resistance and their heavy artil-
lery.
Country Laid Waste.
The correspondent had come up
from Scissors through a territory
laid waste as had been the COUNT
side everywhere elsewhere the Ger
mans had been forced 20 avacuate.
scissors itself is still bombarded al
most daily and the final effort be-
fore the Germans left the adjacent
trenches on March Is was an en-
deavor to set fire to the town and
the much battered cathedral. The
latter was showered with incendiary
shells. but these died out without af-
fecting the heavy stone roof. The
remainder of the cathedral had been
much damaged during the previous
bombardment and a German officers
diary found in an abandoned battery
position shows that the attempt to
destroy it was methodical.
The French troop are enthusiastic
over their recent successes in open
warfare in this vicinity, one of the
most brilliant feats of which was the
CAPTURE of Pont Rouge by the famous
Alpine rife corps.
