Military experts consider it
most probable that the Germans
will launch a second converging

ATTACKED
BY LINER!

AN ATLANTIC PORT, June II.
Three submarines were attack
ed and two probably sunk in
European waters by a British
liner and it's convoy en- route to
this port, according to reports
made when the vessel locked to-
day.
The steamer with lie passen-
gers left an English port a week
ago Saturday.
The first U-boat was probably
destroyed the night of June /, the
day of departure from Europe. All
the passengers were at dinner.
They were not allowed on deck. It
was sunk by a depth bomb, the
captain of the liner said.
Tries to Ram Her
On the next morning, Sunday,
at a. m, submersible disguised
as fishing boat approached close
to the liner, so her engines could
be heard. The steamer was too
close for her guns to be used.
She tried to ram, but missed
six feet wide of the mark. The u
boat and the liner then drew
farther apart and the liners gun
ners opened fire from the stern,
striking the coming tower and
ripped it away. The submarine
vanished.
Two hours later It was stated

NEW YORK, June 1.-THE
Rent Strike" is the novel wea-
pom being used by squeezed ten
ants against profiteering landlords
in the Brownsville section of New
York city.
Rather than pay the demands
of the landlords, who have been
raising rents month by month be-
cause of war conditions" scores
of families, after standing pat and
refusing to pay the increase, have
preferred to be dispossessed.
Many of these evicted families
have been forced to live amid
piles of their belongings on the
sidewalks.
Camp Out in Open.
Extraordinary scenes have been
witnessed on the Brownsville
streets with the squatters camped
out in the open.
The Brownsville rent strike
started in an apartment house at
I14S6 Pitkin-av.
Here the rent of an apartment
that was 1880 a month when
the United States entered the war,
has been steadily increased until
1t is now $3.50. From this spot
the strike as a weapon to use
against the unpatriotic landlord
has spread all over this section of
the city.

Dispatch From Fred S.

WITH THE AMERICANS
WEST OF MONTDIDIER, June
1.-THE Americans within tho
shadow of the new German drive
are waiting, ready for any blow
that may fall.
There is an ominous quiet in
the region of Cantigny, along the
line held by the Americans. Our
artillery heavily gassed the Ger
man positions Sunday night, but
the lull fell again yesterday.
With the roar of the heavy
firing in the Montdidier region
always reaching them, the Ameri-
ems here are constantly on the
alert for some evidence of the
Hun attack spreading westward
to include this sector.
American patrols are eontinu-
ally active and some prisoners are
brought in almost daily. Sgt.
Burns of the signal corps went on
personally conducted tour of
the Germans front trenches. He
shot every German he ran across
and returned safely to his own
lines.
The rain sweeping this section
has rendered the front positions
cold and wet, in contrast to the
heat of the past few weeks.
In the meantime the greatest
air activity continues along the
lines despite unfayorable wealth
err. Fighting and bombing planes
headed for enemy territory look
like huge flocks of crows. The
Germans are bombing allied back
areas, with the allies heavily re-
taliating.
One American field hospital
was so endangered by enemy
bombs that preparations have
been made to evacuate it, but the

Battlefront Dispatch Direct to The Times From
Henry Wood by United Press Leased Wire.

WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES IN THE FIELD,
june 1.-THE new German drive between Mont.
dder and Noyon is rapidly becoming the fercest and
most cruel battle of the war
Into it the Germans apparently are determined to
throw their last reserves in supreme effort to sep
arate the allied armies and reach Paris before Amer
ica's full participation wrests from them the last
hopes of victory
Already the steady flow of American italian and
British into France, coupled with the ter
rifle losses inflicted on the Germans since March a.
practically has wiped out the numerical superiority
with which the Germans opened the offensive.
1t is certain that if the allies hold out two months
longer the Americans at the present rate of arrival
will give them an incontestable and crushing SUI

AS CUHSeIueHce, the FRENCH
are resisting in the battle with
extreme energy. equalled only by
the prodigality with which the
Germans are rushing up their last
resources.
No longer is it a secret that the
French expected the present at
tack and were as fully prepared
as electives and material would
permit.
Attack Anticipated.
1t Is likewise known that the
Germans knew the French expect

yet, facing the heavy losses which
such a situation necessarily must
entail, the enemy unhesitati1Gly

Heroic French resistance,

preventing them from being su-

10 Infantry Attacks.
In every counter attack the
French succeeded in taking pris-
oners along the entire battlefront,
who unanimously declare the
German losses are frightful.
French troops participating in
these counter attacks also find
heaps of German dead every
where.
French cavalrymen, fighting
afoot on the summit of LePle-

escaping after their position had
been entirely surrounded, de-
clared that previous to their de-
parture they repulsed 10 infantry
