Much importance is attached

Ier. These are considered a di-
rect menace to the junction
point OF the armies of General

(By Associated Press.)
Uneasiness along the northern
front continues and Crown Prince
Rupprecht of Bavaria has carried
out another withdrawal. To the
British he has now given up terri
tory along the Labassee canal in
the apex of the Lys salient. Mean
while the French and British are
organizing the territory evacuated
north and south of the Somme in
Picardy.
Hun Withdrawal Big.
Except for occupying the ground
given up by the Germans along the
Ancre and west of the Avre, the al
lies have made no move against the
enemy on these sectors. That the
retirement from west of the Ancre
was not an isolated move is showr
by the Withdrawals along the Avrt
and from the Labassee canal in the
Flanders. In the north, the Ger
mans withdrew from the canal il
the region of Pacaut wood, north

the fact that in every case the
U-boat was an actual or potential
assailant and any ruse of war is
considered legitimate by them ex-
cept when employed against Ger
many"
1t should not be forgotten, he
continues, that the Germans de-
signed mystery ships for commerce
destruction. The British command
ers showed much ingenuity in de-
vising plans for trapping subma-
rines.
In. addition to the woman and
baby" case, the correspondent
mentions the story of a retired ad-
miral, serving as a captain, who
placed haystack on board an an
cient docking craft When the u
boat ordered her TO surrender,
the Germans were astonished 10 re-
ceive a broadside from the hay
stack.
On another occasion a sea worn
tramp steamer was crossing the
North sea when a submarine or
dered the crew to abandon ship.
So sure was the German of his prey
that the bombs with which he in
tended to sink the vessel were
brought on the deck around the
coming tower The commander of
the tramp steamer, by careful ma
neuvering, brought the submarine
within range of his concealed arma-
ment so that it required only a
she'll or two to explode the bombs
and blow the U-boat out of the
water.
Captain Gordon o. L. Campbell,
then commander, was decorated
with the Victoria cross and the ID.
S. o. in 1916, being the first to re-
ceive these orders without the ma
ture of his heroic deed being made
public. 1t was announced early in
1917 that the reason for the deco
rations would be made public after
the war. He was given special pro-
motion over the heads of about sew
en- hundred officers and current ru-
NOR in London in July, 1917 ascrib-
ed his rapid rise to work against
the submarine. Captain Campbell
gained the military cross for brav-
cry in handling a tank when that
weapon was first used by the Brit
ish in the summer of 1916.
