HUNT FOR
HUN SUBS
Fleet Of American Vessels
Combing Atlantic Coast From
Maine to Florida, or Search
for German Wolves Of Sea.
lBy Associated PreSs.l

New York, June 3.--Scores Of
United States warships were ranging
the waters off the north Atlantic coast
to night in search of the German sub
marines which made their long ex-
pected attack on American shipping
In home waters late yesterday after
noon. While the details of naval OPP
erations were withheld, it Is known
that destroyers, fleets of submarine
chasers and other vessels are flashing
their searchlights tonight over the
waters along the coast and far out at
sea from Maine to Florida. Hydro
airplane and airships arose like focks
of huge birds from every naval sta
ton along the Atlantic coast when the
warning was flashed to them and soon
were scouting over the waters where
it was believed submarines would be
most likely to be lurking. Foreign
aviators and American students as
we'll as regular American flyers
eagerly volunteered for service.
Airplanes On Scout Duty.
More than 100 airplanes and dirig-
ible balloons left Hazelhurst aviation
field alone on scout duty. Nearly all
the aircraft were manned by regular
army aviators. They circled over
Long Island sound and off the At
lantic from Sandy Hook to the east
ern extremity of Long Island.
In their flights today the aircraft
were not armed, but in short time
they will be equipped with bomb
dropping mechanism and machine
guns. The machines pressed into pa
troll service today had been used for
training purposes.
/ Nothing to Do But Wait.
The only way of hearing from the
vessels in peril was by the fash of
their wireless. Even if S. 0. S. calls
were received nothing could be done
by their ships except to wait, for fol-
lowing the stern and heart-breaking
rule of the men in the German sub
marine, no merchant vessel could aid
through fear of their own destruction.
But it was known that the alert wire
less operators of the American navy
would pick the calls and that destroy
ers or other war craft would steam
full speed to the rescue.
The Clyde line officials were wor-
ried tonight about the safety OF the
steamship Mohawk of that line, which
left Charleston yesterday afternoon,
with approximately $50 passengers.
No word had been received from her
today and it was considered possible
she might have been in the path of the
enemy submarines.

GROUND DURING
DAYS FIGHTING
Huns Held Back and Unable to
Make Any Gains During Mon
days Battle; Most
Hopeful News.
(By Associated Press.)

London, June 3-Tonight's report
is the most hopeful since the begin
ming of the battle.
For the first time since last Mon
day it can be said that the enemy
gained no ground during the day"
says Reuters correspondent with
French headquarters in France.
Until today it was only possible
to hold the enemy from hour>to hour.
The enemy's numbers enabled him to
maneuver and go around obstacles in
his path; but his numerical advantage
vanished from day to day and we now
have arrived at the stage where the
formation of continuous line forces
the Germans to attempt massed at
tacks against strongly held positions,
instead of turning thenl."

old KING AK ON
DECK AGAIN With
new ATTRACTION
Royal Ruler Calls in His Vas
sails and Lines Them Up for
Season of Fun That Comes
Next Fall.

"The best show ever put on the
stage of the Den," was the verdict of
the revelers in mirth and jollity who
thronged Samson's building Monday
night for the first Ak-Sar-Ben initia-
ton of the season. And the>two parts
of the show, "The Camp at Rum
Bay" and "The Burning OF Berlin"
with Gus Miller's and George Longs
circus in between as an interlude,
pulled the cover off the pot with a
bang.
Judging from the enthusiasm of the
1876 members who attended the show,
Ak-Sar- Ben is in for a banner year.
For three hours spectacle followed
Spectacle, stunt followed stunt and
climax followed climax. With Miles
Greenleaf as author, Gus Renze as ar
tihcer and Charlie Black as master of
ceremonies, the opening night
brought down the house with song,
burlesque and thrills.
Applause For Everybody.
"The Camp at Rum Bay" a mill
tary burlesque of camp life, started
off the evenings entertainment. Oscar
Lieben as General Debility, Henry
Dunn as Major Operation and Walter
Adams in the dazzling role of Blceda
Shara, handled the leading parts in
mastery fashion, and drew forth
rounds of applause. But the chorus,
especially trained by Ben Johnson,
and the solo numbers received their
share, too.
With the excellent accompaniment
of Ernest Reese's orchestra Henry
Dunn delivered Give Me the Kitchen
Police" and a quartet composed of
Henry Dunn, Oscar Lieben, Dean
Smith and Kenneth Reed revived the
old favorite, composed several years
ago by Miles Greenleaf and Harry
Hanguar, and brought UP to date with
some new lines, "a Damn Good
Town"
Bleeda Shara's great exhibition was
but one bright spot among other
brilliant stunts like the "Bonehead
Court Martial" and the dose of
Trench Life" given some OF the
drafted recruits inducted into service
at Rum Bay"
Some Real Circus.
A complete and up-to-the-minute
circus, under the direction of Gus
Miller and George Long, with trained
horses. trained elephant, a trained
camel and trained bull, with Doc
Frye as crack-shot cowboy and real
goat for the neophytes, provided an
interlude which rocked the benches
with applause. A squad of picked
members of the Modern Woodfnen ol
America gave fancy exhibition drill
just before the curtain rose for the
second act of the show, "The Burn
ing of Berlin"

FRENCH GAIN GROUND.
Particularly hard fighting again has
been III progress between Soissons
and Chateau Thierry, where the Ger
mans are endeavoring to push further
forward toward Paris, but not alone
have thcvFrenrh troops almost every
where successfully withstood the on
slaught, but on several sectors them
selves have taken the initiative and
gained ground. As whole the situa-
ton along this line is relatively un-
changed
The German war office at last has
admitted that the allied line on the
west has been reinforced by fresh
units, but it asserts that they have not
been able to hold the positions to
which they were assigned. Neverthe-
less; the fact is patent from an obser-
vation OF the war maps that almost
everywhere in this region the German
line, for the moment, at least, is being
hard held
Huns Stop at Marne.
From Chateau Thierry eastward
along the Marne, and thence to
Rheims, the situation is virtually un-
changed from that of Sunday.
The enemy now holds the northern
bank of the Marne for. a distance of
about IS miles, but as yet he has
made no serious endeavor to cross
the stream. =
Little fighting aside from the usual
small affairs between raiding parties
IS taking place on the Flanders front.
The British have carried out success
ful raids on several sectors here and
taken nearly 800 prisoners.
American Aviators Make Good.
American aviators are giving good
accounts of themselves over the bat
lie line in France. Since April H.
when they first took the air in Of
fensive operations, they have shot
down at least 50 enemy planes, and
themselves only lost seven.
Volunteer recruits to the number of
$4,000 for immediate service with the
irish divisions are asked for by the
lord lieutenant of Ireland in a procla-
nation. After this recruitment, 1000 to
5000 monthly are asked for to MAIN
tain the Irish divisions. Legislation
giving land to men who fight for their
country is promised in the proclama-
ton.

For "a hours prior to the Coles de-
struction at p. m. on Sunday, when
rs miles off Highland Light, N. J., the
crew saw an unusual amount of wreck
age. The sea from this point to the
shore also was filled with wreckage,
the rescued crew reported.
The submarine which sank the Cole,
the crew said, was the largest they
had ever seen. 1t carried guns fore
and aft and was ESQ feet long.
Story Of Destruction.
The Bristol captain, Frederick Hart.
sighted the Coles crew in one open
boat with one pair of oars, sextant,
a weather glass, steering by starlight
after setting her course by sun, try
ing to reach shore nearly five hours
after their vessel was sunk at o'clock
in the afternoon.
The Bristol, coming alongside the
Coles crew, had not noticed the sub
marine in the distance. Captain New
comb of the Cole said to Captain Hart
of the Bristol: Don't stop to pick
us up. Beat it quick or that subma-
rine will get YOU"
The U-boat meanwhile was moving
toward the Bristol, but Captain Hart
declined to depart without first res
cuing the Coles crew. Six of the
latter, together with the nine fremen
on the Bristol, went to the Bristops
fire room and coal holds and for the
first time in the voyaging of the Bris-
tol, she is said to have made II knots
an hour, as compared with her nor
NAL nine knots. The Bristol escaped
by reaching shallow water, into which
the U-boat could not goa

Now the raiders have crossed the
seas and lurked for days near Amer
ica's greatest powers. They no doubt
were sent to sink transports, but here,
again, they failed. Blocked off the
troop ships by convoy craft, they
have turned in fury against defense-
less coasters. In all the record Of de-
struction they have written the raid
ing party has struck at no vessels
bound overseas, and. therefore, armed
for fight. Only ships that could not
hit back have been attacked. The only

During that period, scores OF troop
and supply ships ,have passed in and
out on the business Of crushing the
German army in France. The U-boat;
found no weak link in the chain Of
armed craft that guarded them.
Secretary Daniels went to the cap
itol during the day to tell members
of the house naval committee that the
raid was designed to frighten the
American people into demanding the
return of war vessels from the other

that there will be no recall Of forces
