Three Barges Were Sunk by
Huns Off Coast of Cape
Cod Sunday.
AMERICAN SHIPS
ARE BEING WARNED
U-boat Opened Fire With
out Warning-Boat Went
to the South.

Boston, July 22.-All the facilities
at the command Of the first naval dis
trict were brought into play today in
search of New England waters for
the German submarine which at
tackled and sank three barges yester-
day off Cape Cod within view of the
Orleans shore.
Though the port of Boston was not
closed, merchant ships and other un-
protected craft were warned of the
danger of leaving the harbor. The
submarine was headed south when
last seen yesterday, but naval au-
thorities expressed the opinion that
the boat might bob up again off the
New England coast and were pre-
pared for any eventuality.
Reports to headquarters Of the first
naval district here indicated the pres
ers~ of the submarine in this vicinity
Stree Saturday. Captain Bartlett of
Plymouth reported that about dusk
! Saturday night he sighted the peri
scope of submarine four miles on
the port of Plymouth. He said he
to the periscope positively to identify
1t as part of a submersible.
His report placed the submarine
we'll within Massachusetts, bay. Other
reports of the presence of the under
sea boat have been also received but
not in all cases have they been of a
conclusive nature.
A feature of the attack yesterday
near Orleans was the fact that the
submarine opened fire without warn
ing. In all other cases of reported
attacks upon American coastwise
boats, warning was given

WHAT WILL BECOME
OF LEMON EXTRACT? ?

Pierre, S. D.. July 22.-What is
going to happen to the lemon extract
This question is worrying many a
woman bragain hunter in South Da-
kota. You see. it's like this:
Not long ago, state officials who
have been sharply enforcing the pro-
hibition laws, discovered that lemon
extract was big seller. Investigation
proved that several brands contained
a heavy percentage of alcohol and
that some people were distilling the
liquor by simple process.
Bang!. The council of defense
stopped the sale of the extract Seiz-
ures followed. The state has a large
supply Of the confiscated goods on
hand.
Whether to destroy it or sell it is
the problem. Housewives are anxious
to buy it because, naturally, the pro.
hibition has made it difficult to gel
legitimate extract.
An official announcement, disposine
of the matter, may be made in a few
days.

Minneapolis, Minn., July 22.-Radi-
cal changes in Liberty Loan cam
paigns throughout the country are
under consideration by officials at
Washington, according to local cam
paign leaders. Instead Of dragging
out the campaign for month as has
been the custom in the past three

Those in favor OF the plan point to
Minneapolis efforts in the : last cam

tended their selling time over the
months of April and May in the last

millions Of dollars in experimenting
with the English Bristol and other
types of airplanes will be reported to

committee investigating aircraft pro-

said today, in announcing that their
report is now being drafted.
Other findings of the committee,
said Senator Thomas, the chairman,
and some members. will be that 1900
recently were "jtnked" because they
were regarded as too dangerous for
use; that several aviators have been
killed in flights with dangerous types
Of planes and that amateurs in the
engineering and administrative Sec
tions have contributed to the delay
in production.
Responsibility for part of the pro-
duction delay was placed by commit
teemen on the former aircraft prodnc-
ton board, but they said that with the
work now under the direction of John
D. Ryan, director general Of produc-
prospects for the future are much i'm
proved.
All members Of the committee were
agreed that the liberty motor is a

Rear guard actions are being
fought by the Germans north of Cha

organized for the purpose Of delaying
the relentless pursuit Of the fleeing
enemy by the French and Americans,
who: on Sunday morning passed
through Chateau Thierry and ad-
vanced northeast of that corner stone
of German conquest in eastern
France.

to have been marked between Girls

Chateau Thierry at distance of ap
proximately seven and four miles

about four miles. Along this line Ger
man attacks were broken and the al

North of the Ourcq river the re-
action of the enemy was limited, to
artillery fire.
This was also the case between the
Marine and Rheims, notably in the re-
gion west of the Rheims mountain
Since the Germans have been
ousted from Chateau Thierry under
conditions which suggest that the
withdrawal was precipitate. the most
interesting events of the battle are
south of Scissors, where the Ameri-
cans are reported to have advanced a
distance Of mile and a quarter; the
Ourcq valley. where the allies are
steadily pounding their way toward
