''Yank" Escapes Huns
BY Throwing Rocks

and steady nerve saved a private of
an American division in the Toul sec
tor, taken prisoner by German raiders
recently, VINO escaped and returned to
his own lines. The Germans were par
tlcularly exasperated at losing the pris-
oner, because they had vainly sought
to capture and hold at least. one man
from the division opposing them. But
this one slipped through their fingers.
The American was carried to the Ger
man trenches after having been sur
rounded. Suddenly he broke awav and
ran. The Germans did not fire because
they feared they might hit one another
The American stumbled into shell
crater and bombarded his pursuers with
rocks. One of the Germans leaped into
the hole alongside of him, but the
American killed him with a trench
knife, then dashed from shell hole to
she'll hole until he reached the Ameri-

Fresh Troops Man
Hindenburg Line
To Oppose British
(Bv The Associated Press


WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN
FRANCE, Sept. II II D. M. There
are indications that when the retiring
Germans reach the Hindenourg line
they viii pass through fresh enemy
corps and divisions, to whom the de-
fences have been entrusted In such
tactics Is found one of the principal
reasons why the German commanders
have been putting formations back into
active fighting after they had once been
withdrawn because the men were tenn
porarily exhausted
There is evidence that the Hinden-
burg line is already beng manned bv
troops who have not appeared in the
fighting so far.
In the area over which the recent
advance was made, from one end of
the British front to the other, many
"booby" traps were encountered and
rendered Ineffective Mines have been
found under dugouts and in dlapidated
houses to which time fuses had been
attached.
Germans Glad To Be Captured
The effect of the continuous fightino
upon the German troops is plainly
SHOWN IN the case of prisoners from

September II, 2::3O A. N.
The French in the Disc Valley yes
terday drove new wedge deep
into the German line north of La
Fere. By a two-mile sweep on
narrow front Petain's men fought
their way to the west bank of the
Disc Canal and wrested from the
enemy Travecy and the heights
which dominate La Fere and the
valley to the south.
Outf1anked by the new French ad-
vance which carried their lines
half round the city, the Germans
in La Fere are again retreating
sto the east.
Douai, German base and railroad
centre before Arras, is in flames.
Menaced by the steady forward
swing of the Allied troops across
the Hindenburg defences further
south, the city is being rapidly
abandoned by the retreating foe,
who is destroying the great guam
titles of stores he cannot move.
Halg's infantry before st. Quentin
fought its way forward at two
points, despite sharp reactions by
enemy rear guards. At Vermand
and north of Epehy the British
advanced without artillery aid,
smothering the German resistance
before them.
The Germans stormed repeatedly TN
the heights overlooking Gouzeau-
court, won Monday by the Brit
ish, but each time their assaulting
troops were mown down by rifle
fire.
In Flanders the British again closed
in on weakened enemy positions
and pushed further toward the
suburbs of Armentieres.
The enemy made six vigorous at
tempts to break Mangins grip on
Mont de Laffaux, northeast of
scissors, but each time the
Franco-Americans crushed the
enemy's blow and held their high
positions which threaten the ene-
my's hold on the whole line of the
Aisne and the Chemin des Danes.

u. 6. Orders
All Cowards
Shot ON Spot
Those Who Cry "Surren-
der!" Either Enemies or
Traitors, Says Pershing
(By The Associated Press)

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, Tuesday, Sept. 10-Amerf,an
troops of all units have been instructed
to kill on the spot any one who in time
of battle urges surrender or attempts
to persuade them that further resist
ance is useless.
These instructions, which originated
with certain division and have now
been universally adopted, because they
proved SO popular, were made neces-
sary because some one in American
uniform during a German attack on
Flsmette on August 27 ran among the
troops calling upon them to cease re-
slstance and declaring that the officers
advised surrender.
The instructions point out that these
statements were absolutely false, and
add:
The person who spreads such an
alarm is either an enemy in our uni
form or one of our own troops who is
dlsloyal and a traitor, or one of our
DdIIlcSCflckon
coward. Whoever he is. he should be
shot on the spot. In battle there is not
time to inquire into the identity or
motives OF persons who create panic or
Reorganization or who advise surren-
der.
ut is the duty of every officer and
soldier to kill on the spot any person
who in fight urges any one to sur
render or stop fighting. 1t makes no
difference whether the person is a
stranger or friend, an officer or
private"
The instructions conclude with the
statement that a German soldier was
found mortally wounded far inside the
American lines at Fismette. He had
lived for long time in America and
spoke English well and possibly he
intended to get an American uniform
and create doubt or disorganization
among the men.

OF Rescue Work

WASHINGTON, Sept. 11.-News of
the torpedoing of the British liner
Persic, with $500 American troops on
board, in the war zone September G
was given to the American people to-
day first through the British Admiralty
and then later through the Navy De-
partment.
All the soldiers were rescued by &C
companying destroyers, the ship itself
was beached and the enemy submarine
is believed to have been sunk.
Officials here viewed the result of
the attack more as an Allied success
than as a disaster The fact that the
steamer was torpedoed when it was en-
deavoring to overtake the conveyed
fleet of transports after overcoming
engine trouble which had forced it to
lag, convinced officers the submarine
commander" still are fearful of attack
ing troopships in convoy. And the i'm
mediate and completely successful as
sistance given by the destroyers was

conveying system now in vogue is prac
tically perfect.
First word Of the attack on the
Persic, it was learned officially, reached
the Navy Department on the night of
September in a brief dispatch from
Vice-Admiral Sims. although navy Off
cials have empnaJically denied in the
interim that any important news of
submarine activities was being with
held. 1t was understood that the Brit
ish Admiralty expressed the request
that they be permitted to announce the
news of the attack.
Rumors that troopship had been
sunk, probably with heavy loss Of life,
have been current in Washington since
the publication Of what evidently was
an inspired London dispatch stating
that Allied naval circles had reason to
believe that German submarines soon
would concentrate their efforts in an
attempt to impede the steady flow of
American soldiers overseas. No ex-
PLANTATION of the purpose of this article
could be obtained, however, from navy
officials here.
Attacks on troopships by submarines
constantly are expected by officials,
and it may be that a new and more
determined campaign has been deter
mined upon by the Germans because
of the reverses suffered by their
armies. The greatest possible protec-
tion is afforded troopships, and this
increases as the American naval forces
in the war zone are added to by new
construction in American yards.
The record achieved by the American
and Allied navies in transporting more
than 100000 American soldiers over
seas with the loss of only 291 lives
still is considered miraculous, and it is
accepted by naval officers as testifying
to the success of the convoy system.

connection with the question of supply
ing the people with much needed
flour and other provisions and cloth
ing throughout the winter. The com

situation in detail at a meeting of the

United States stands ready to make
every necessary sacrifice of capital and
material to put Russia in position
to reorganize the fight against Ger
