WITH THE AMERICAN FORCES
IN LORRAINE. September 5 (by the
Associated ess).-German patrols
made a sortie from their lines late
yesterday. following several hours
of Smelling of the village of Frapelle.
They evidently were planning on be-
ing able to take prisoners.
An American lieutenant saw the
enemy party coming and proceeded
into no mans land with scouts in an
attempt to surround the Germans.
The enemy was put to flight. leaving
two prisoners in the hands Of the
Americans. No casualties were suf-
fered by the Americans.
American forces today made pris-
oners in the Woevre. where the
enemy artillery and trench mortars
were active.

were filtered into and through the
zone, never presenting a satisfactory
target. The progress down into the
low lands was similarly carried out. 1t
would be no surprise if tl~- Germans
extended their evacuation 20 the re-
gion south of the Aisne. which they
hold in the direction of Rheims. 1t is
considered possible that had push
been made there, this part, too, would
have been included in the gains of the

inevitable that the Germans will find
that the newly made salient is I'M

they will be in a serious position, as

take as little time as possible in filing

appearance. could be filed out within
half an hour. after a man got down to
it,. 1t is realized. of course, that some
time must be taken. in individual cases,

Bulgaria has full diplomatic and con,
sular representation in America,
while the American minister to Rou-
mania il still theoretically accredited
to Bulgaria AZ well. The presence of
a Bulgarian legation in Washington
seems an interesting manifestation
of American forbearance.
During the past year the war has
come to America. It has brought
wheatless days and meatless days. 1t
has brought sugar famines and
fuel faminies. It has brought In
creased taxes and increased postal
rates. It has brought popular loans
and demands for contributions to war
philanthropies. But 1t has brought no
fleets of Zeppelin baby-ktllers; It has
brought no devastating HunnisE
horde. Americans know that OF all
the greater allies they are the most
fortunate. They know that their sac
rifices are small In comparison with
the sacrifices Of the peoples who arc
their warbrothers. In facing another
and bitterer year the American PEG
pie are cheerful, confident and deter
mined. The period Of preparation is
almost past. One year from today. II
the Hun is not crushed by that time,
America will be the real leader OF the
worlds democractes.

an agreement has been reached with
Japan whereby fleet Of Japanese
vessels Is to be placed in American
service for the period of the war.
No Lack Of Facilities.
With all these extraordinary meas
ures and large additions the shipping
problem remains one of the most
difficult which this nation must face.
In addition to the great fleet OF trans
ports which is constantly carrying
soldiers to France there must be an
even greater fleet to carry food and
other supplies to our own soldiers, to
our allies and to the neutral nations.
That there has as yet been no para
lying lack Of facilities is one of the
best proofs of American resourceful-
ness and ingenuity.
The American navy has played nc
important part in the war, but its
presence both in European waters
and elsewhere has greatly added to
the confidence Of the allies. Destroy
ers under Admiral Simms have ac-
lively co-operated with the British in
the sport Of hunting U-boats, and
have done well.

DEFEATED SATURDAY BY
EGG HARBoR INDEPENDENTS

P. H. S. %journeyed to Egg Harbor
Saturday evening with the expectation
of playing Egg Harbor H. S. On ac-
count of some difficulty which arose
between the faculty of Egg Harbor H.
S. and the players, the Egg Harborites
were unable to place a strictly H. S.
team on the floor. Despite the fact
that the H. S. boys were playing on a
strange floor and against a non-H. S.
team, they made a very creditable
showing. The first half favored Egg
Harbor Independents, 1910. The ref
cree appeared to be partial to the
home team, calling innumerable fouls
on H. S., and Egg Harbor scored only
five field goals, which speaks we'll for
the close guarding of Wallis and Bales
trieri. Capt. Baker, Balestrieri and
Woodruff shot 7 field goals between
them. H. s.. outscored Egg Harbor
Independents from the floor, 8 field
goals to 5. The game finally ended in
favor of Egg Harbor, 2419.
