German Paper Praises
Raids of U-Boats Here

AMSTERDAM, June b.-The "Nord-
deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung," COM
menting on the U-boat raid of the
American coast, says:
ut is the first big and carefully
planned action of our undersea war
fare, undertaken against the war pro-
longer in the far West. 1t is linked
up with our offensives on the Euro
pean battlefelds.
."The uboats have brought the war
to the American shores to catch Amer
ican transports near the point of le-
parture. because it is not always easy
to deal with them in the open sea or
in European waters.
"The German people wish their brave
sailors good luck and complete success
in their task.

Irwin S. Cobb, Back
From War, Asserts
Victory Is Certain
Spirit of American Troops
Assures Glorious Triumph.
He Declares

With the dust of battle sea rre d
Picardy still family visible on his
khaki uniform and the little identif-
cation medal still dangling from his
wrist, Irwin S. Cobb, author. traveller
and war correspondent, has returned
from the Western front with mes
sage that our boys are of indomitable
spirit and feel sure of victory. This
remarkable spirit, said he, not only
assures a glorious triumph for the AL
lies. but Allied leaders declare it will
undoubtedly achieve a quicker end.
"The most moving spectacle that l
have witnessed on the European battle
fields" said Mr.. Cobb yesterday, "is the
unbounded enthusiasm of our men
going to the fighting lines. Their virile,
freshening breath has penetrated to
Tommy and poilu. SO that the Allied
forces of to-day are steeied with a
courage and will that Is deathless.
Always our fellows are smiling. They
smile when they enter the trenches,
they smile when they charge. and wnen
they return for rest from the heat of
battle still they smile. Never do they
complain, but always are they eager
to be unleashed for the fray. Their
officers complain only Of their over
anxiety to get into the fight. Their
fash and enthusiasm have startled the
wearied French and British into a re-
newed liveliness. and they know they
will win"
u. S. Airmen Play Big Part
Mr.. Cobb predicted that open war
fare, brought about by the present Ger
man offensive, would continue till the
end of the war, adding that it was the
opinion of many generals that the big,
victorious smash mnst come from hcx-
ible lnan9uvring of huge armies over
great stretches OF territory. Our air
men, he said, are playing greater part
supposed. They are fighting on all the
fronts in large numbers, and in daring
and dash are unsurpassed.
"The Boches," he said, entertain the
greatest dread of our aviators. They
have had taste of the American aban-
don and utter fearlessness. They TN
derstand that the American aviator ill
never fly from a German"
The Americans, however. said Mr..
Cobb, were still using French machines
for combat.

that the German morale has collapsed.

Casualty List
Jumps to High
Figure 1876
This Brings Total of Amer
leans Killed and Wound
ed to 1915

WASHINGTON, June 9.-Casualties
among the American expeditionary
forces thus far reported by General
Pershing, including to-day's list, total
1915, the War Department announced
to-day in making public the first of
regular weekly summaries of cas-
ualties. Deaths in action and from
wounds, disease, accidents and all
other causes number 1927, while 4,046
men have been wounded and 342 are
missing in action, including men held
prisoners in Germany.
The casualty list given out o-day
contained 1856 names and was the larg-
est reported in any single day so far.
In addition two dead and ten severely
wounded were reported in the Marine
Corps.
While no official explanation was
given for the decision of the depart
ment to advise the country weekly of
the exact total of casualties since the
landing of the first American forces in
it resulted largely from widespread re-
ports that casualties had been very
heavy and that total figures were being
withheld from the public.
Lists Little Delayed
1t has been explained at the depart
ment that the daily lists sent by Cen
eral Pershing are issued with as little
delay as possible. The casualties are
so scattered in the lists that they will
not give information Of value to the
enemy, but this does not mean that
any appreciable numbers are held back.
After heavy actions, such as that of
Cantigny, it requires several days to
check up the casualties and cable them
to the departmtnt.
American troops have been in the
trenches several months and now hold
sectors at several points along the
Western front. In addition many
American units are brigaded with the
French and British and have been in
heavy fighting since the German drive
began in March.
General Pershing's men went into
the front line last November for train
ing and soon afterward they took over
a trench permanently. Other units
went into the trenches for final train
ing with the French later and finally
took over sectors, so that the total
frontage now held by the Americans
ranks second 80 that If the French and
British armies.
Marine Casualties Separate
Marine Corps casualties are issued
separately from those Of the army, and
no reports have yet come on the killed
and wounded among the marines who
have been engaged in heavy fighting
near Chateau Thierry. Up to that
fighting the Marine Corps casualties
had been very low, as they were only
recently moved up to the front line,
having previously been engaged in po-
lice work along the American lines Of
communication.
Considering the number of Ameri-
cans actually in the front lines and the
length of time they have been carry
ing on" officers do not regard the total
of casualties as large. The number OF
men actually killed IN action so far re-
ported to the department is TAG, while
of the more than 1000 wounded only
$40 have died from their wounds. The
list of missing, including prisoners.
also is comparatively small.
