MONGOLIA ATTACKED
 TWICE BY U.BOAT>

New York, May 13.-The steam ship Mongolia of the Atlantic Trans port Line was attacked twice by Ger man submarines, once crossing the Atlantic and the second time return ing, according to the story told at an Atlantic port today by the United States naval gunners assigned to pro tect the vessel on the high seas.
 The steamship, the gunners are confident, had narrow escape from being sunk on the return voyage. They related that while off the Scilly Islands, about 12 o'clock on the night of May 1, and with the moon shining, the lookout discerned the white wake of torpedo extend itself across the bow, stretching from right to left. The missile, it is declared, passed close to the vessel.
 The gunners sprang to their posi- tions and brought their defense gun to bear on the spot whence the tor pedo was supposed to have come. No signs of submarine, however, could be seen. The gun was discharged and careful watch maintained for some time, but the submarine gave no further evidence of her presence.
 On the voyage over, the gunners said, they saw the coming tower of U-boat off the port bow and the G.

Desperate Fighting Continues on Hindenburg Line-Ger- mans Are COntesting Every Inch of Entente Advance.

London, May 13.-Most of the vil- lage of Bullecourt, in the Hindenburg line, is now in the hands of the British, who also, according to the official report from headquarters in France, occupied the western section of RoeuX.
 North of the River Scarpe the British made slight advance last night.
 The text of the morning statement reads:
 "There were patrol encounters last night northwest of St. Quentin and northeast of Leverguier. Casualties were inflicted on the enemy and our positions were advanced at certain points.
 Fighting continues at Bullecourt.
 We advanced our lines slightly during the night south of the Scarpe and improved our position on the western slopes of Greenwand Hill, north of the river, capturing a few prisoners.
 Early in the night a hostile coun- ter-attack east of RyruX cemetery was repulsed. We took 30 prisoners
