 ATTACK ON. f|SHETTE

With the American Army on the VesleN Aug. 12 (Reuters). The Ger mans are shelling the Vesle front spasmodically, their heavy guns ap- parently being concentrated in turn on certain targets.
 St. Thibaut, Mont Notre Dame and Fishes have been chiefly chosen.
 A real attempt to feel out the allied strength has taken the form of an attack at Fismette. "a little village northwest of Fishes.
 This, however, was failure. as the American shooting was so good that not single man was able to enter the village and the assaulting troops retired, leaving fresh sprink- ling of dead on the battlefield which already had been fatal to so many Germans

 The day his father was able to re- usme work Russell gave himself up to the military authorities at Fort Omaha.
 The case was so plainly against the boy when he was court martialled for desertion that the court was obliged to sentenced him to three years at hard labor, forfeiture of pay and al lowances and dishonoral%e discharge.
 Major Barratt O'Hara former lieu tenant governor of Illinois now judge advocate at Camp Devens, where the regiment had been transferred in the meantime, recommended clemen- cy.
 The sentenced thereupon was miti- gated to six months at hard labor by Colonel Geo. L. Byroade. command ant.
 With all the requirements of strict army discipline fulfilled, Colonel By roade, in the next breath suspended the mitigated sentence and restored the boy to his old place in his con- pany with bit of soldierly advice.

ment, extending as it does from the Arctic to the Causcas and embracing millions of Russians, who see the imminent danger to their newly ac- quired freedom, sought for genera tions, in the domination of their country by the German government.
 The names of the men who will compose the new Russian government and who issued the proclamation are guarantees according to state depart ment officials, of the strength of the movement.
 Allied Force Aiding.
 Allied troops are now in the north to an extent not exactly known to the public.
 To the south the British are stead fly driving northward from Mesopo- tamia.
 Allied troops are landing at Vladi- vostok to render aid to the Siberian forces.
 So, it is pointed out, the prospect for an eastern front that will serious ly threaten Germany and Austria is brighter than it has been since the Russian debacle.
 The flight of Lenlne and Trotsky, reported today in press dispatches is regard by officials by the state de- partment as significant of the weak ening, if not the utter loss of power by the Bolsheviki
 The departure of the German en- bassy from Moscow to Pskovff shows, according to officials, in touch with Russian affairs, that the Germans are afraid of the overthrow of the Bol- sheviki by some of the many elements opposed to them in Moscow.

 submarine commander sought to put the lighthouse out of commission With the attendant danger to passing ships.
 If that were the purpose, however, officials could not understand why the commander did not destroy the light house with his guns.
 On the basis of reports received concerning the attack on the subma- rine off the Virginia coast, officials would not venture an opinion as to the possibility that the U-Boat was destroyed.
 The time of the attack was not giv- en in the dispatch, and, consequent ly, it was not known whether it was before or after the gassng of the men on Smiths island.
 The attack may have occurred Sun day and been reported by radio, but the more generally accepted belief was that it took place several days ago and since there was conclusive proof of the destruction of the enemy, the destroyer until returning to it's base before reporting to the district naval commander.

 When the destroyer sighted the raider at some distance is dashed for ward at full speed. The German evi- dently was maintaining a sharp look out, for the U-Boat soon submerged. The destroyed circled the spot and dropped 15 depth charges. When the upheaval of the water caused by the terrific explosions had subsided, and oil scum was seen. As thissis the ruse long employed by the Germans when attacked, the destroyed dashed in and discharged two more bombs.
 The warship then cruised in the vicinity for some time, but no further; trace of the raider was seen.
 In discussing the submarine raids with newspaper correspondents, today Secretary Daniels said he believed there are two U-Boats operating on this side of the Atlantic.
 He said he did not believe that they have base on American shores and explained that they frequently replen- ished their stores and supplies from vessels they destroy
 New York, Aug 12-Marine under writers today advanced war risk rates on sailing vessels both for coastWise and trans ?ocean routes be- cause of the continued activity of U-boats in coastal waters Rates jumped to 3 per cent and in some cases to four per cent for sailings be- tween American ports, while trans ocean rates were advanced to 10 per cent by some underwriters.
