RENEW OFFENSIVE
 ON WESTERN FRONT
CAPTURE IMPORTANT POSITIONS IN REGION OF LENS SOUTH
 WARD OF HAVRlNcoURT.

New York.-Again the British have begun a fierce attack from the regiou of Lens southward to the Havrincourt wood and, according to the London War Office, have been successful at various points in capturing important German positions. In addition, more than 1,200 Germans were captured. river the British have materially ad- vanced at several points toward Douai. North of the river, the village of Gavrelle and positions two and a half miles long south of the village were captured, while south of the stream they took the line of the Ger mans on a wide front south and east of Monehyle-Preux, and captured the villages of Gavrelle and Guemappe.
 Further to the south the entire vil- 1age of Trescaulte and the greater part of the Hayrincourt wood now is in the hands of General Haig's forces. On the northern end of the battle line additional progress has been made southwest of Lens, seemingly placing that important town in great jeopardy.
 The last Berlin official communiea- tion says the British attack on the Arras front broke down with heavy losses. Berlin admits the penetration of German trenches on a front of 500 yards northwest of Lens, but says the British later were expelled in coun- ter-attack.
 Northeast of Soissons, between the Aisne and the Chemin des Danes, the French have further advanced their line, but elsewhere on the French front artillery duels have predominat- ed. Sunday night the Germans tried, but without success, to penetrate French positions, notably east of Cra- onne in the Champagne, near St. Mi hiel and in the sVosges mountains.
 A return of good weather to the western front has brought about re- newed aerial activity and many battles in the air. Sunday French airmen, in aerial engagements, shot down six enemy airplanes. A similar number fell prey to British aviators, while 15 others were driven down cut of con- trol- Anti-aircraft guns disposed of another German airplane and seven kite balloons.
 Berlin reports that German air men forced down Il entente machines and destroyed four captive balloons. The British War Office admits that seven British airplanes failed to re- turn.

GERMAN SUBMARINE SUNK BY J. s. SHIP
CAPTAIN RICE SAYS AMERICAN SHIP MONGOLIA FIRED FIRST
 GUN OF WAR OF U. s.
ATTACK IN BRITISH WATERS
Periscope Sighted Dead Ahead On Last Afternoon of Voyage-captan Ordered Full Speed Ahead Intend
 Ing To Ram the Submarine.

London.-Captain Rice of the Amer fcan Steamship Mongolia, which has arrived at the British port, told the Associated Press that the Mongolia had fired the first gun of the war of the United States and sunk a German submarine.
 The naval gunners on board made 8 clean hit at 1000 yards. The peri scope was seen to be shattered.
 The submarine, Captain Rice said, was about to attack the great liner in British waters on April 19. He declar- ed there was absolutely no doubt that the U-boat was hit and that there was every reason to believe it was de- stroyed.
 Even more pertinent fact as re- gards the ultimate fate of the submar rine was that the shell disappeared immediately after the hit was made. The captain stated that a shell always ricochets in the water and can be seen again unless it finds its mark. Oil also was seen on the water after the sub- marine disappeared. The Mongolia was going at full speed and was long distance away when the spray and foam subsided, but from the bridge the officers observed the spot through their glasses and they are confident the submarine was sunk.
 The periscope was sighted dead ahead on the last afternoon of the voyage. The captain gave the order for full speed ahead with the inten- tion of ramming the submarine.
 The periscope disappeared and q few minutes later reappeared on the ships broadside. The gunners fired, hitting the periscope squarely.
