BOCHE GUNNERS' AIM GOOD FOR AMERICANS Enemy Artillery Causes No Damage and Wounds
 Only One.

With the American Army in France, Feb. 26 (By the Associated Press). - The American artillery Monday rallied against the German artillery which has been shellins them, but which despite the intensity of the fire did no damage and wound ed only one man.
 The Americans began by shelling Montsec, where buildings were de- stroyed. They also effectively shot up large working party in a dugout from which cries for help were heard. The enemy today concentrated his fire on a certain town within the American lines.
 The weather cleared today and there was much aerial activity. Sev- eral fights in the air occurred over and behind the American lines, and the American anti-aircraft guns were 1 firing all day. Enemy planes at tackled a sausage balloon in which an American captain acted as pilot. The balloon was hauled down hurriedly without having been damaged. Gas attacks overcame some troops before they were able to adjust their masks and overcame others while they were asleep in dugouts.

Cherokee Goes Down During Gale
 OlG Delaware Capes
TEN SURVIVORS LANDED
British Steamship Rescues Those
 Found Alive On Life Raft and
 Help Received Yesterday Morning.

Washington, Feb. 27.-The naval tug Cherokee, formerly belonging to the Luckenbach Steamship Co.,, foundered yesterday off Fenwiclo Island lightship, 22 miles south of the Delaware |Capes
 Survivors are being taken to Phila- de1phia. One report to the navy says ten survivors already have been landed at some point on the coast. Normally the Cherokee carried a crew of about 40. The tug is sup posed to have foundered in the heavy gale yesterday.
 Later the navy department was advised that incoming ships were carrying four bodies to Philadelphia and that the ten survivors previously referred to were the only known out of the complement of five officers and 35 enlisted men.
 The navy department made this announcem ent:
 'NThe navy department is advised that U. s. s. Cherokee, a navy tug. foundered yesterday morning off the Atlantic coast. Of the 40 aboard five officers and 35 enlisted men-ten had been landed at last accounts. those having been taken to Philadel- phia Four dead were picked up by steamships.
 "The known survivors got away in the first life raft. Four got away on the second life raft, but two more were washed overheard and the other two were dead when picked up by British steamer.'
 The navy department later made public the names of the ten survivors landed at Philadelphia. They are:
 Boatswain k. M. Sennott. U. S. N- F. F., 521 Comercial street, Boston; l.. P. Alderman, seaman; H. P. Poyn- ter, fireman; R. J. Hall, seaman; C. F. Barker, chief machinist mate; R. A.

Paris Calls It War Speech.

Paris Feb 26.-4Fhe consensus of opinion in official and diplomatic cir cles concerning Count von Hertling' $ speech is that it is a war speech not a "peace speech. ..
 A high official of the foreign office informs the Associated Press that the aims of von Hertling's oration were three fold:
 First he desired to create a division between the Allies, especially between the Anglo-Saxon group and the Latin group.
 Second. he wanted to stimulate peace talk in Allied and neutral countries in an effort to bring about another "Brest-LitovSk.
 Third, his maneuver was expected to impress public opinion in Germany and abroad that military officials do not rule in Germany, but the diplomats and politicians have the upper hand.
 The French press generally con- siders Non Hertling's speech as sim ply a continuation of Germany's effort to create differences between the En- tente allies.

Intellectual Search Yesterday.

Philadelphia, Feb. 27.--A British steamship anchored in the De1eware this morning. The quarantine station at Marcus Hook, Pa, 17 miles below Philadelphia, reported over the tele- phone that the steamship had sig nailed that she had on board ten survivors and the bodies of ten of the crew of the Cherokee.
 At o'clock yesterday morning a wireless station on the coast picked up a call for help from the Cherokee. ! The call was located at a point about l 15 miles off the coast. Immediately 1 a naval coast patrol crew manned a
 cutter and started out in a fifty mile
 gale to search for the distressed tug.
 After an all day hunt the crew re-
 turned last night and reported noth- l ing had been found. It is supposed , that passing vessels had picked up i the survivors and dead before the i cutter reached the scene.
 1 The Cherokee was 120 feet long and
 taken over by the government last October. She was formerly known
 as the Edgar F. Luckenbach. ] Announcement was made at the 1 Philadelphia maritime exchange that 1 a British steamer passed the gov ] ernment's quarantine station at Mar
 GUS Hook, was summoned by wire
 less to the assistance of the Cherokee
 by another British steamer. ] When this vessel arrived at the l locality where the tug foundered, the ! crew picked up two bodies of the 1 Cherokee's crew. The ship steamed 1 about the sea nearby for some time ! but failed to find any more dead or
 survivors. No trace of the lost tug 1 was seen.
 According to these officers they
 picked up the Cherokee's distress early yesterday. O cers aboard the British tanker signalled they had
 picked up Il men, a part of the Cher
 okee's crew whom they had found on a raft

EOn Payer Appeals for Unity.

Amsterdam, Feb. 27.-Fredericl von Payer, the German vice-chancel- Tor, in his address to the Reichstag, urged the people to stand behind the army and made a spirited defense of Prussian franchise reform bill
 There is only one standpoint, he said, flor home ToliticS today, in the fourth year of the war, namely, the concentration of all the forces Of the empire to the unity of the citizens and labor and readiness for sacrifice to enable the army to fulfill the1t heavy tasks To that end things which still divide the various classes of the population must be removed
 "It is quite intellIgible that the heavier the sacrifices and war bur- dens laid upon us, the greater will the mass of the population be dom- mated by aspirations after political power, political freedom and inf1u- ence on the government No power on earth can crush this idea, and these aspirations. From the start the allied German governments have taken this into account.

 sI cannot believe that those par ties in whose hands the decision Hes will fail to realize what they owe to the public is in this critical hour and I hope they will emphatically repu- diate the suspicion that they really aim at an intolerable delay"
 After expressing confidence that the bill would be adopted, Won Payer said that cooperation devoid of friction could be obtained by endeavoring through the inclusion of members from the Reichstag and the PruS- sian Diet, who enjoy the confloence of their colleagues, in the lillpeil"'i and Prussian governments to Hi<'Me firm foundation for q common pol icy and facilitate the conduct or af- fairs.

London, Feb. 27.-As far as the British public is concerned the mild words of Count von Hertling concern ing Germanys pacific intentions and his partial acceptance of President Will sons basis for lasting world peace fall upon almost deaf ears. All details of the new war against helpless Rus sia rob German statesmen of their plea that Germany is waging a war of i-defcnSe.
 The British press is unanimous in the belief that the whole eastern sit uation has been cleverly arranged and plotted with a view to bringing eastern and central Europe under German domination, and for the vital immediate purpose of getting food from the Ukraine.

sence Of Santa Stella. When the list of names of the men scheduled to depart for Camp Devens was checked up this morning it was found that Santa Stella of 155 Wash ington street did not respond with ''here" when the first district exenp- ton board clerk called his name. That Stella was missing did not cause the board great surprise, it is hnid, for the actions of Stella of late have created the impression that the young fellow would rather be classed as a stacker" than to discard the multi for the khaki
 From what has been learned by the police, Stella was in this city up to yesterday noon, and during the morning he spent considerable time with notary public. The latter was at the depot this morning and, ap- preaching Detective Sergeant Rich ardson, with a sheer, he asked if his friend had been located. When tn e detective informed him that he had not, the notary public's face beamed With satisfaction, until he was sharp ly reprimanded by the sergeant for his actions of the past few days. It is likely that the federal auth critics will be called in to act in the case of the notary public, who, it is De- lieved by Detective Richardson, can throw some important light on the whereabouts of Stella.
