Washington, June 5.--The story Of
the captain ofthe French taker Ra-
dioleine, attacked by a submarine off
the Maryland coast yesterday, reached
the navy department today showing
that the raider had fired fifteen shots
before an American destroyer answer
ing IS. O. s." appeared,
The destroyer passed full speed
ahead toward the enemy which
promptly submerged. When the de-
stroyer reached the spot where the
U-boat had disappeared the Radio
leine was too far away to see what
happened. None Of the shots hit the
tanker and three which she fired at
the raider went over.
The captain said the submarine was
so big that when his lookout sighted
her six miles away he reported her
as an American destroyer.
The destroyer passed full speed
ahead toward the enemy, which
promptly submerged.
Departments Summary.
Following is the navy departments
summary of the Frenchmans story:
THE submarine was so big that at
first the lookout thought 1t was an
American destroyer He was about
six miles from the Radioleine. The
submarine when sighted lay about two
lengths from three-masted sailing
ship (probably the schooner Edward
X. Baird, Jr., which later was bombed
and sunk), and the lookout reported
it to the captain as destroyer. But
the captain with his glasses recognized
it as submarine, The captain was in
doubt as to the nationality so did not
fire, but manned his guns. He
changed his course from east to west
and the submarine opened fire, but
the Frenchman still held his fire until
the submarine fired the second time
Then he fired, range about 1900
meters.
The submarine fired between fif-
teen and twenty shots. The French
man heard two shots about fifteen
minutes before he sighted the sub
marine He believes that these were
fired to stop the sailing ship.
Suffered no Casualties.
"The Radioleine was making good
speed while getting away. No shots hit
her. No damage was done, and there
were no casualties.
The destroyer passed the Radio
leine at $40 making all speed heading
in the direction of the submarine. Ap-
parently the destroyer did not see
the submarine until the Radioleine
changed course to starboard. as the
captain of the Radioleine purposely
kept between the submarine and the
destroyer so the submarine would not
see the destroyer.
"As soon as the submarine saw the
destroyer he submerged. The captain
did not see the submarine again and
is unable to tell what the destroyer
did because the Radioleine was too
far away when the destroyer reached
the spot where the submarine disap-
peared."

Nowhere Are the TeutonS Able
to Make Any Progress 0w-
ing to the Resistance Made
by Entente Soldiers,
FURY OF INVADERS HAS
NOT YET BEEN CHECKED
All Along Front They Are
Launching Assault After
Assault Germans Continue
to Suffer Heavy Casualties,


The allies stone wall of resistance
still is being opposed to the Germans
on ethe battle from SCISSORS to
Chateau Thierry. Nowhere is the
enemy making progress.
The fury Of the invaders, however
has not yet been checked, for all along
the front they are launching assault
after assault on various sectors in the
hope that the allied ranks may give
further ground which would enable
the enemy to straighten out the curve
in the line from Moulin-S -Sous-Touvent,
northwest of scissors, to Troesnes,
which lies southwest of Villera -Cotter-
cts.
Great masses of artillery and large
numbers of troops are being used by
the Germans in almost continuous bat
tyles, but Notwithstanding this fact the
allied line everywhere has held strong
ly and at several points the defend
ers have taken the offensive and I'M
proved their positions.
Standing out in sharp contrast
against previous communications is
sued by the German war office, claim
ing gains by feats of arms or the fall
ing back of the allies, is the announce
ment made in Berlin Wednesday
night.
"Ou the battle front the situation is
unchanged says the announcement.
The Germans still are suffering
heavy casualties in their unsuccessful
assaults.
Rheims Being Bombarded.
Along the Marne front there has
been no further fighting of great mos
ment, althoreh in the vicinity of
Rheinis the German artillery mas be-
gun n violent bombardment, which
probably indicates another infantry
attack in this region, which has been
relatively quiet for several days.
The American troops in the Lure
vile sector daily are showing their
merit. Wednesday Witnessed another
venture carried out by them, thirty of
the men attacking the German lines
and penetrating them to the third de-
fenses and assaulting the 200 occu-
pants with rifles, bayonets and gren-
AIDES.
Losses to the enemy were numerous
while the American casualties were
very small.
The Germans seemingly are fearful
of the band of warriors in the Lune-
vile sector for they again have in
creased the rain of smells of all kinds,
