WASHINGTON. July % - German

TO shake the morale Of the American
nation was the Interpretation placed
by many officials here today on the
sudden appearance of German sub
marine off the Massachusetts, coast
yesterday and the sinking by shell fire
OF three barges Of a tow and the she'll
ing OF third barge and the tug. The
attack on such s.lall craft could not
be attributed to any other reason, It
was believed, than an attempt to
frighten the American people
Naval vessels Of all kinds were be-
lieved today to De seeking the U-boat
and at the same time keeping a
sharp lookout for mines which it is
thought have been strewn in the
steamer lanes by the submarine. The
unremitting search for the U-boats,
some officials believe, has led the
commanders to adopt the safer policy
of placing mines of the Atlantic coast
in hope that transports may thus be
sunk.

| LONDON, July, 22-The Ger
mans are stubbornly resisting
the French crossing at the
Marne but the French have sue
ceeded in getting two elements
over at Mezy and Courcelles,
which are constructing foot
bridges under heavy fire.
Owing to faulty working of
the telegraph line between Par
is and London, news of the first
advance up to $3.50 o'clock last
night is not very detailed. The
capture of BarbillOn woods by
the Americans means that the
overseas men have advanced be-
tween three and four miles from
old positions on the Marne.
Huns Counter Attack.
Between the Ourcq and the
Aisne, the Germans again are
making violent counter attacks
but the French are maintaining
their line.
On every front the Germans
are resisting desperately and
are making violent counter at
tacks.
Nevertheless the French
troops yesterday made progress
along the river Marne to maxi
mum depth of eight miles.
The object of the enemy coun-
ter attack is to expedite the ex-
traction of his troops from the
pocket between Chateau and
Rheims. Meanwhile German
troops on the southern end of
the pocket must be experiencing
great difficulty in getting sup.
plies.
Northwest of Rheims, there
has been heavy fighting and the
French have made progress. Be.
tween Ourcq and the Marne
river, the French yesterday took
400 prisoners.
Rear guard sections are being fought
by the Germans north of Chateau
Thierry. These were probably organ
lied for the purpose OF delaying the
relentless pursuit of the fleeing en-
emy by the French and Americans
who on Sunday morning cut through
Chateau Thierry and advanced north
east of that cornerstone of German
in eastern France.
The reaction of the Germans is said
to have been marked between Grisol-
les and Bevu-St German, two villages
northwest and north Of Chateau Thier-
ry, at a distance of about seven and
four miles respectively.
Allied Lines Maintained.
Along this line German attacks were
broken and the allied line was main
tanned throughout.
North OF the Ourcg river the reac-
tion of the enemy was limited to
artillery fire.
This was also the case between the
Marne and Rheims. notably in the reg
ion west of the Rheims mountain and
in the Courton and Roi woods.

ATTACKED THREE BARGEs


ORLEANS, Mass. July 22.-An en-
emy submarine attacked tug and its
tow off the eastermost point Of Cape
Cod yesterday. sank three barges, sci
a fourth and their tug on fire and
dropped four shells on the mainland
The action lasted an hour and was un
challenged except by two hydropl' 1es
from the Chatham aviation station
which circled over the U-boat, causing
her TO submerge for only a moment
to reappear and resume firing.
Throughout the one-sided battle the
American flag waved proudly. An IL
year.old boy in one Of the barges
grabbed a flag, which was one Of his
boyish possessions, and shook it de-
family at the U-boat.
The boy carried the flag to shore in
one of the lifebcats. He held it proud
" above his head as he stepped on
land.
Several Are Wounded,
The crews of the tow, numbering
for'y-one. and including three women
ard five children. escaped amid the
shell fire in lifeboats. Several were
wounded. John Botovich. an Austrian,

atation, which Is located midway be-
tween Chatham, at the Elbow, and

NAVAL SHIPS SEARCHING

tBy AS:Ocl1ted PreSS)
BOSTON, July 22-AN the facilities
at the command Of the first naval dis
trict were brought into play today in a
search Of New England waters for the
German submarine which attacked
and sank three barges yesterday off
Cape Cod within view of the Orleans
shore. f
Though the port of Boston was not
closed, merchant ships and other un-
protected craft were warned OF the
danger OF leaving harbor. The subma-
rine was headed south when last seen
yesterday but naval authorities ex-
pressed the opinion that the boat
might be up again off the New Eng
land coast and were prepared for any
event in the locality.
Reports to headquarters of the first
naval district here indicated the pres
ence Of the submarine in this vicinity
since Saturday. Capt. Orrin Bartlett
Of Plymouth reported that about dusk
Saturday night he sighted the peri
scope Of a submarine four miles off
the port of Plymouth. He said he
was in a motor boat and close enough
to the periscope positively to identify
1t as part OF submersible.
His report placed the submarine
we'll within Massachusetts, bay. Other
reports OF the presence OF the under
sea boat have also been received, but
not in all cases have they been OF a
conclusive nature.
A feature OF the attack yesterday
near Orleans was the fact that the
submersible opened fire without warn
ing In all other reported cases of at
tack upon an American coastwise
boat, warning was given.
