 The submarine, the captain said, opened fire on the steamer at a range of foo yards. but when it found af- ter an interchange of three score shots that it was outranged by the Americans guns it tried to draw off. ! was then that the ship put in the two shots which the captain believes destroyed the enemy.
 The captains narrative, as sum marized in the report to the depart ment follows
 "On September 3, at S:25 a m, an enemy submarine was sighted on the starhoard beam at 14000 yards. The submarine opened fire with two SIX inch guns We answered fire with our forward guns We saw the shot lall about four hundred yards short and then turned and used our aft sun. Our shots were very close to the subm5- rine and tho submarine shrapnel were breaking near us, some of the pieces falling on our deck amidships We changed the course frequently which seemed to upset the submarine range and aim As the submarine saw our range was equal to hers, she hauled away from us Up to that time she had been closing in on us.
 Before the submarine could get our of range our 2Sth shot from the att gun apparently hit her stern The 29th shot hit her just forward of the coming tower near and under the water line The bow immediatel3 shot up in the air suddenly. then set tied and went down out of sight the stern making a half turn toward us, then it disappeared.
 Upon shots striking the submarine we saw very clearly a terrific ex- plosion and black smoke. which enycl- oped the submarine. | am positive that we destroyed her as she sank al most instantly afteL the shot struck her. The engagement lasted 29 min- utes. Some of the fragments of tho submarine fell on our decks and were picked up by the quartermaster and chief gunners mate, The submarine was about 300 feet long. of the early type of German submarine with high bow and had two six inch guns close to the coming tower fore and aft She fired in salvos, using about six shots altogether She was camouflaged and flew no flags"

British Encounter Much Greater Volume of Ma chine Gun and Artillery Fire.
of British Troops Has Been Greatly Interfered By Rain Which
 Has Been necessarily Falling--Battle- field in Many Places is Covered With Soft Mud Making Progress Difficult.

With the British Army in France. Sept. 10-Although the resistance from enemy rear guards has increased all alung the line. especially in the cel- ter areas where a much greater vol ume of machine gun and artillery fire is being encountered, the British troops have made further progress. Rain has fallen necessarily and the battlefield in many places now is cov- cred with soft mud and the shell era ters are filled with oOze, which makes rapid progress difficult Generally the armies are still at a pause and what forward movements have been car ried out have been more in the nature of line straightening and for the sup pression of avtice German positions
 Epehy wood has been the scene of hard fighting. The British attacked il today but details are lacking. From a number of reliable sources il is learned that the enemy is eyacuating the civilians from numerous villages and towns in lis rear and is exhibit ing his customary methods while dO- ing 1t. The civilians, in most cases cid men, women and children. are being forced from their homes wi,h only handful of their possessions: their property is either being confis- cated by the German authorities or being carried off by the troops
 Further confirmation of the muti- nous spirit in sections of the Ger man army has been received. Pri3- oners who are in the immediate vicin- ity of an engagement on August = said that an infantry regiment of q Bavarian division suddenly threw down their arms They retired, de claring that they absolutely refused O fight for Prussia any longer

M 'ADOO WANTS LIBERTY
 BONDS EXEMPTED
SEES IN HIGH SUR TAXES THE NECESSITY OF RAISING IN TEREST RATE ON THE
 BONDS

Washington. Sept 10.-Parial eX- emption on income from Liberty bonds from sur taxes was recommend ed today by Secretary McAdoo, sta blizing the price of these bonds with out raising the interest rate on them. In a letter to Chairman Kitchin )f the house ways and means committee Mr. McAdoo asked that congress act or this suggestion before the opening of the fourth Liberty loan campaign on September IS and to make the eX~ emptlon applicable to a limited amount of bonds of the second and third loans and to converted bopds of the first loan.
 Mir McAdoo did not suggest the eX- tent to which this exception should be applied. If the high surtaXes contem- plated in the pending revenue bill are applied flatly to income from Liber y bonds, Mir McAdoo intimated that It will be necessary to raise the interest late about 1-4 per cent in order "a avoid further depression Of the mar ket price of the bonds below par.
 At the same time thesecretary an nounced that the treasury and war finance corporation is making study of the Canadian system for maintain ing the market value of war bonds by regulating private dealings in bonds and allowing a commission on theif sale between oampaigns and that an adaDtation of that system night be pGi into effect eventually. Other sugge>- tions of the secretary for legislation included theproposals that the maxi mum amount of war savings certiii- cates which any individual may hold he raised from S1000 to S200ii ant that he be given power to establish credit in foreign countries to aid n stablizing exchange rates; that the president be authorized to regulate the

AMERICAN STEAMSHIP
 BORA IN TORpEDOED
VESSEL WAS ONE OF A CONVOY AND SUBMARINE CAME WITH
 IN 15o YARDS OF VESSEL

London, ep; l0-The American steamship Dora. formerly under the Austrian flag. was torpedoed and sunk September 1 approximately 400 miles on cargo convoy. The crew was saved.
 The steamship was struck at 6:20 in Inc morning. A calm sea enabled all of the crew of S5 to escape They were picked up by destroyers
 The submarine daringly took up a position about 150 yards from the starboard side of the convoy column and about an equal distance from tno nearest destroyer and fired at the Dora which was heading a column ol three vessels.
 The lookout reported seeing q peri scope just after the wake of the tor pedo was discovered but nOtEing was seen of the submarine The torpedo struck aft throwing thecargo of ar my supplies as high as the mast tops but only one member of the crew was hurt
 The escorting ships immediately dropped numerous depth charges. Ow- ing to the ships with which the war ships acted and the close proximity ol the O-hoat it is considered possible that the submarine was either de- stroyed or badly damaged. This at tack is somewhat different from the recent methods of U-boats in firing on lone vessels as it shows more reck- less daring in an effort to sink a con voyed boat than during the past few months
