GREAT SEA FIGHT
BYGERMANFLEET
IS NOW EXPECTED

Unusual activity on the part OF q
new type of German craft on the
North sea makes officials at the Navy
Department believe a big demonstra-
ton on the part of the Teutonic fleet,
bottled up IN the Keel canal since the
outbreak Of the war, IL te be ex-
pected.
Their belief is based on informa-
ton conveyed in reports from Rear
Admiral Sims and officials of the
British navy. American and British
patrol vessels have repeatedly report
ed the presence of q new type Of
German craft far out in the North
sea Fishermen putting into British
ports have also conveyed news of the
operations of the Teutonic vessels.
The new craft Is q combination OF
mine sweeper and destroyer. Several
fleets OF them are reported to have
been seen clearing the sea Of mines,
presumably for the purpose Of open
ing the way for war vessels.
The German vessels are operating
with the utmost boldness and close
views OF them have been obtained by
British fishermen. They are reported
to be built along destroyer lines with
the difference that they have unusual
ly high bows and seem stocky and sub
stantial. High bridges, similar TO
those seen on destroyers, and complete
wireless equipment have been OBJ
served on the craft.
In many circles In Warrington It Is
believed the Germans have been re-
duced to desperation by their re-
versals on land, and are preparing to
make one final bold stroke on the
water to bring about peace.
American and British navy officials
welcome the news that there IL a
chance OF their getting q glimpse of
the German feet. They say a glimpse
Is all they want, after which the big
guns and long idle big gunners may
be depended upon to do the rest.

SUBMARINE USES
L|FEDOAT TODECOY
AMERICAN VESSEL

NEW YORK, Aug. 20.-News has
been received here from England OF
the attack made upon an American
steamship on August OF the coast
OF ireland by a big German U-boat
which used a ships lifeboat as a de-
coy, and missed hitting the liner with
a torpedo by a very narrow margin.
There were 600 passengers on board
the steamer.
According to eye.witnesses, who
were on deck at the time the incl
dent occurred, the liner was about
ninety miles OF the Irish coast on
her way to a port in England. 1t was
ten minutes past o'clock at night,
and on account OF the bright moon
light every object could easily be dis
tinguished on the water as the vessel
zigzaEged on her course at speed OF
eighteen knots.
The lookout man in the crows nest
at the foretopmast head sang out:
Boat four points away on starooaro
bow
The captain and his officers on the
bridge looked through their glasses
and saw that 1t was a ships lifeboat
OF an extra large size bobbing up ana
down.
Going at eighteen knots, the liner
rapidly overhauled the boat ana
passed It about GOO yards away.
Just as It reached the quarter OF
the liner the crew OF the oiN-inch
gun aft saw q torpedo pass from crt
10 starboard within five feet OF lAe
ruddCr.
The officer on duty on the after
bridge instantly warned the captain
on the forward bridge, who swung
the liner hard over to starboard' and
at the same time the gunners art
fired q shot at the submarine which
appeared just above the surface on
the port quarter about $50 yards
away.
The shells struck the water and
hurst close to the submarine, but
whether they sunk the undersea craft
the gunners and ships officers could
not say.

REIGN Of TERROR
PRECEDES TANKS IN
BRITISH ATTACKS

WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES IN
THE FIELD, Aug. 7.-(By mail-
British tanks. so bedaubed with mud
and slime from FlGners quagmires
that they look like moving noun
tsins. are spreading terror among the
Germans.
The gigantic mud turtles lumber
and creak through the boys, splitting
red flame from their mud encrusted
guns and creating panic wherever
they operate. One lone tank today
reported the capture OF sixty Ger
mans near st. Julien.
While wallowing along toward the
enemy line, the monster encountered
one OF its kind, stopped by a direct
hit from a German anti-tank gun.
The uninjured tank charged the gun
and literally smashed II out OF COM
mission. Eight Germans were cap
tured here and turned back to the ad-
vancing British infantry.
Helps Take Pomnern.
The same tank, creeping along, aid
ed IN the capture OF Pommern redoubt
and Pommern Castle. IL crossed the
deep cut marking the redoubt and sent
word back that II was clear of the en-
envy. Meanwhile another tank
crashed its way through the castle
defenses. while the Germans fed pre-
cipitAtely.
Advancing infantry found the de-
tenders massed in the redoubt post
tion which the tank had cleared.
More tanks were summoned. -Four
slid roaring over the redoubt and took
IL in q few minutes, the Germans sur
rendering.
Then it was discovered that the
defenders had first fed from the
redoubt to the castle, and then back
from the castle TO the redoubt. There
was no other place to fee to after
under attack, since the first tank
which had reported the redoubt clear
had covered the rear. All prisoners
frankly confessed their panic at the
steel monsters.
Cross Ypres Canal.
Crossing Of the Ypres Canal by
these tanks-under constant shell hre
one moment and gas clouds the next
was one Of the great feats OF the
war. But the secret OF how IL was
done will not be told until the war
Is over.
The monstrous strength OF the
giant turtles creates constant amaze
ment. One tank encountered a huge,
fully laden mOtor-lOrry, stuck in a
ditch. 1t stopped, and obligingly
hitched the front axles on a big
chain. Then il numbered ahead.
There was a crash and yells OF dis
may from the lorry driver. The tank
had pulled out the front wheels, the
motor, and part OF the chassis.
Another tank. running without lights.
crashed into q railway engine. knocking
Il of the track. The tanks crew not a
bit dismayed. promptly went over and
pushed the engine back on the rails
again. sending 1t of putting contentedly.
British Tommies have named the mon
sters curiously. One encounters such
names as Cog, Ariadne, BeelZebub,
Blackstone, Black Arrow, Ballyhackle.
Coquette. Crusader. and Gondolier.

DANIELS AIMS TO
MAKEU. S.LEAD
IN DESTROYERS

To make the American navy fore
most in its destroyer force. Secretary
Daniels today gathered representa-
tives Of twenty-five Arms and studied
means OF more than doubling de-
stroyer contracts. II he succeeds, the
United States will have more de-
stroyers than any other nation, includ-
ing Great Britain
Orders went out today to speed
work 'on present contracts. Con-
struction OF submarine chasers will
end when the hrst group is finished
and efforts used will be turned to the
task OF making scores OF destroyers.
Daniels suggested that private. and
Government yards already engaged in
destroyer construction should ehlafge
their output and that outside Arms
should undertake new work
Daniels reports from Admiral
Simms show that the destroyers do
the most effective work against
the U-boat.

CHEWS $2l IN BILLS
WHILE FIGHTING FIRE
Philadelphian, in Excitement, Mis-
takes Money for Tobacco.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 20.-DurinG
q lively IRE In q row of stables near
Belgrade and Somerset streets early
yesterday, Edward Madden, Of the
crew OF the pollceboat Ashbridgs,
rushed into the burning building again
and again until. with the help OF IRE
men, nifty horses were rescued.
Sometime during the rescue act,
Madden doesn't know just when, he
put his hand in his trousers pocket to
get q chew OF tobacco. He placed a
generous sized wad in his mouth and
chewed It vigorously.
After the horses were all rescued.
Madden thought he noticed q peculiar
taste to his tobacco. He took the
wad out OF his mouth and II looked
green. Then he unrolled II, and found
he had been chewing q $50 note and a
81 bill.

OFFICIAL WAR REPORTS

artillery lighting in the region
north OF Bixschoote.
In Champagne our batteries ef-
fectively bombarded German de-
lenses. We made several raids
and brought back prisoners from
the enemy lines.
On both banks OF the Mouse this
morning our troops attacked the
German positions with magnificent
spirit. According TO early in
formation the new battle OF Yer
dun is developing to our advan-
tage on a front of eighteen kilo-
meters, from Avocourt Wood to
the region north OF Bexonvaux.
Many prisoners are being taken to
the rear. The bravery OF our
troops is beyond all praise.
In the region OF Badonviller
(Alsacel we easily repulsed an
enemy attack. There was rather
spirited artillery fighting in up
per Alsace.

observers brought the most valuable
information to Italian headquarters.
Assaults were launched on the
carso. Isonzo. and Julian fronts ST.
multaneously, the troops working in
such concert as to weld the three at
tRcks into one gigantic assault. The
action was opened on a tremendous
scale, the Italian infantry leaving
their trenches on a wide front as the
artillery fre was lifted. Word from
headquarters was that the attack was
expected to be the most effective the
Italians have yet attempted.
At many places along the rocky
line which marks the front, the tre-
mendous Italian artillery fire has
actually pulverized the Austrian de-
lenses. Front dispatches today re-
ported the enemy hurrying up re-
serves to back up these weak spots
and flinging their troops into human
ramparts against the Italian advance
waves. 1t was at these spots where
breaches have been blasted in the
Austrian defense line that the hand
to-hand fighting was occurring to-
day. The defenders bitterly resisted
the Italian assaults.
