Daniels Announces Con-
tracts for New, Swift,
Fabricated Vessel

WASHINGTON. Jan. 31.-New sub
marine fighters of a powerful type are
about to be turned out in the United
States in large numbers. After test-
flying to-day before the House Naval
Committee on the naval appropriation
bill, Secretary Daniels authorized the
statement that contracts FOR Several
scores of the new craft have been
placed with the Ford Motor Company
Of Detroit. He described them as
halfway between destroyer and sub
marine chaser" 200 feet long and
equipped with the latest discoveries
for combating submarines.
All parts Of the ships. except the
engines, are to be fabricated in De
troit and the parts shipped to the sea-
board, where they viii be assembled
Changes in the Ford plant to permit
the handling Of the work have pro-
gressed so swiftly. Mr.. Daniels said
that deliveries on the contracts during
the coming summer arc assured.
Carry Heavy Armament
The new vessels arc expected 10
prove far superior to the chascrs now
in use, including those of the 11O-foot
class. They Will have steam power
with a greater radius Of action; will
be more seaworthy and will be able to
carry heavier armament. 1t has devel-
oped that the latest German subma-
rincs are equipped with guns that out
range those Of small chasers and even
some merchant ships.
Henry Ford, president and principal
owner of the Ford company, recently
placed before Secretary Daniels plans
showing the practicability of con-
vcrting q large part Of his factory into
ship fabricating plant Naval con-
structors who had evolved the latest
submarine chaser ard Rear Admiral
David W. Taylor, with two assistants,
were sent to inspect the Ford plant.
After the officers mad made their re
port the contracts were placed.
See Fight Over Marine Corps
The possibility that additional CON
tracts might be given to other automo-
bile firms was suggested by Mr.. DAN
iels, but he said no Gcfnitc action had
been taken along this line.
Secretary Daniels's examination be
fore the House Naval Committee to-
day developed that one OF the big fights
on the naval bill in the House will be
over d proposal TO increase the Marine
Corps. Representative Britten, Of Hi
ncis. wants the present 10000 marines
doubled, and TO provide not less than
81 900 OF them in the trenches in
France
Secretary Daniel said he was op-
posed to any increase in the corps. ex-
cept so far as may be necessary to fill
vacancies caused by casualties in the
service.

Americans Really
At War i'm Trenches

WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.-Amcrican
expeditonary forces in France are oc-
cupying trenches at the front for other
than training purposes. The Var De-
partment lifted the ban on information
relative to the activities of the United
States army in France to the extent
to-day of permitting the deduction to
be drawn that the reports received
from overseas during the last four or
five days detailing some action or
some casualties among the American
troops in the trenches, indicated that
they were engaged in real warfare.
The position taken by the American
forces was not made known, nor was
any information divulged concerning
the number that have been assigned
to the trenches at the front. 1t had
been recently stated on the highest
authority at the War Department that
several months probably would pass
before the American soldiers wouic
take over part of the Western front.
and it was not made known TODAY
whether the Americans now in the
trenches are holding a position indie
Dendently or are mixed with French
troops.

six major ships and two small ones
were lost The record for last week
is better than that for the last week in
December and the first week in jan

eighteen large vessels and three small
ores were sunk. One fishing vessel
was also lost last week, while eight
British merchantmen were unsuccess-

Violent Artillery Barrage
Precedes Attack on
French Sector
Sector Now Held
BY Pershing's Men
Hell Broke Loose" Says
Man at Listening Point,
As Feet From Foe
BY The Associated Press


WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, Wednesday. Jan. Am
American position on certain section
Of tho Fronch front was raided during
hoavy fog shortly after daylight this
morning. The attack was preceded by
a violent artillery barrage.
Two Americans were killed and four
wounded. One soldier is missing and
IS believed TO have been captured by
the enemy.
Casualties have been occurring almost
daily for several days on this sector.
1t is now permitted to disclose that all
the recent casualties given our from
Washington occurred III this sector.
The deaths were caused by snelifre,
mostly shrapncl.
Last night was fairly quiet through
out the American sector. The usual
number Of shells came over, doing no
damage, and there were the customary
outbursts of machine-gun fire from
both sides at points where the opposing
lines were nearest.
At daybreak this morning the heavy
fog which had been cnveloping the
whole position and the country for
miles around for several days became
still thicker, blotting out all except
the nearest enemy positions. At r
O'Clock three muilled reports sounded
through the fog. There We're three
whistles, followed quickly by three
shell-burs.s. The projectiles exploded
on three sides of an American listening
post Just outside the wire. within forty
feet Of an enemy listening post
"HelI Breaks Loose"
"Thcn hell broke loose" said one OF
the men there. For fifteen minutes
the enemy broke hundreds of high cx-
plosivc IT'S around the post and the
surrounding ground, cutting off the
men there. Two O them were killed
in the first few minutes.
Another man who was at the post
told the correspondent later, as he was
he saw four Germans approaching out
Of the fog as the barrage lifted frc
brought his, automatic rifle into play
and saw two of the Germans fall. He
kept on firing until she'll sp'intcrs hit
him in the head and arm.
"The last remember in the time be-
fore reached the hospital" said ar-
other wounded man. "is seing some
thing moving through the feg de
termincd to get some Germans, and put
my rife to my shoulder, but never
pulled the trigger. There was deaf

Inspection of the scene of the raid
showed that the ground was ploughed
up by the explosion of shells.
In the recent fighting in the Amcri-
can sector one of the men was hit by
sniper's bullet. He fell in trench
filed with water and almost drowned
before be was rescued by his captain
Several Of the wounded had been LISTED
as accidental woundings These were
mostly wounds on the hands.
