AMERICAN SOLDIERS
FIGHT LIKE VETERANS
GERMAN SHELLS COULD NOT 81.
LENCE AMERICAN BATTERY.
Under Him and Wounded Men
Return to Fight.

An enemy submarine attacked, a
tug and tow four miles south of Or
leans. Mass, lifesaving station Sun
day afternoon and sunk three barges
of the tow. The tug stood by the
barge until she was shelled and her.
self on fire when she disappeared.
The crews of the barges comprising
16 men, three women and five chill
dren, reached shore in small boats.
Only one of them, a man, was in
jured by flying wood splinters in the
arm. The submarine was p.ainly seen
from shore.
Two barges were sunk by torpe-
does but it required huncred shells
to sink the third barge. In the midst
of the Smelling an eleven year old
boy on a barge seized a small Amer
lean flag and waved it def.antly in
the faces of the German gunners.
He still clung to the flag when he
was brought ashore.
A hydroaeroplane from the Chat
ham aviation station attacked the
submarine and appeared to have
driven it off while the tug was still
afioat
The attack began at IL a. IN. and
lasted an hour when the submarine
withdrew. Two shells struck the wat
er 500 yards from the shore which
vas 'med with thousand persons at
tracted by the firing.
The sea was calm and there was
no wind. The barges had only four
small life boats intended to accom-
modate five persons each, but all of
the crews of the barges were safely
landed at Nauset harbor. The fate of
the crew of the tug is not known.
The crew of the tug-seventeen
men-were rescued and brought a
shore by the crew of the Orleans
life saving station. Only two of them
injured, one seriously. The latter
was an Austrian rs years of age
whose right arm was blown off.
The flashes of the submarine's e
guns were plainly seen from shore.
The tug with the three barges in
line was putting along slowly when
surprised. The first torpedo launch
ed struck the leading barge, which
heeled over and sank quickly. The
second torpedo similarly disposed of
the third barge. The second barge,
smallest of the tow, was left vulner-
able and with the tug was shelled for
an hour before she sank. Meantime
the tug had been repeatedly hit and
was in flames when the aviator ap-
peared, circling over the submarine.
The latter quickly submerged
The submarine was a large one,
apparently 400 feet in length. The
tow was bound south for New York.
Much shipping was passing at the
time and regardless of the danger to
themselves, several vessels went to
the aid of the barges, the lifeboats
of which were towed ashore by these
other vessels. The women and the
crews were terrified and one who
was making her first trip at sea had
tainted when brought ashore. OF the
forty-one persons on the tug and
barges, only three we're injured and
none fatally.

HEHCH TURN TIDE
WITH AMERICANS
FRENCH AND AMERICAN DRIVE
ss COSTLY TO GERMANS.
Paris Is Safe While Estimated Loss
Of German Soldiers is Round
~ 200, 600.

While too much Importance must
not be attached to the Franco-Amer-
lean offensive in which the Germans
were driven back across the Marne,
still it must be admitted that it is a
signal victory for the allied armies.
Some observers compare the allied
drive to q second Gettysburg. but
this attaches too much importance to
the battle In which Germany lost only
SOC, 900 men. Gettysburg was the
turning point in the civil war. but
Lee was whipped before the battle of
Gettysburg was fought while the
Germans are far from being whip
ped.
While Washington Is elated at the
success of the French and American
armies. still Washington realizes that
IL is only the beginning of a series of
much stronger drives that will have
to come before victory is in sight.
This is evidenced by the announce
ment coming from Washington yes
terday that plans were being laid to
place 100000 men in France at the
earliest possible moment. Nothing
will he attempted on a very large
scale until America has at least g.
100000 men in the field.
Only 100000 Americans out of l.
100000 now in France were engag-
ed in last week fighting but these
gave an excellent account of them
selves and fought like veterans. The
French dispatches praised the Amer
leans highly while one German pris-
oner taken during the fighting said
the impression behind the German
Inca was that ten million instead of
one million Americans were in the
Fighting. The German war dispatch
@ referred to our soldiers as the
white and black" Americans. The
negro took a prominent part in last
weeks fighting, and as the negro is
practically unknown i'll Germany the
presence of >colored soldiers in the
American ranks was Of sufficient
importance to receive notice in the
official dispatches. The Indians also
took part in the fighting and gave
the Germans their first taste Of In
dian warfare.
The Allies have taken much val
uable ground; q number Of towns of
strategic Importance, o considerable
\amount Of ammunition, other war
material and thousands of prisoners,
but the importance of these success
es. while apparently large, must not
be overestimated. for it must be re-
membered that the battle front ex-
tends from one end of Europe to the
other and an operation on a 60-mile
front does not count for so much
when the fighting is being done on
such a large scale.
1t is conceded that Paris is safe
for the time being and that the Ger
mans next move will be a drive for
the channel ports.

Preliminary Peace
Conferences Will
Be Held in Paris
Only Formal Sessions Are
Expected To Be in
Versailles

PARIS, Nov. 25 (By The ASSOCIATED
Press) The conferences on the pre-
liminarios Of peace probably will be
held iii Paris instead of at Versailles
owing TO the superior accommodations
and conveniences in the capital. Only
the formal sessions at concluding
stages will be held at Versailles.
The only active sittings now going
on are those of the Joint Armistice
Commission, which holds daily sessions
at Spa, the former German headquar-
ters, which is now held by the French
French, British and German delegates
attend the meetings. General Nudant
represents General Foch. with Com
mandant Sisteron as his assistant Gen
eral Won Winterfeldt is the German mill
tary representative, and Matthias Err
berger, who also was a member of the
German armistice delegation, partici-
pates in most of the sessions.
Some of the meetings are described
as having been very animated over the
efforts of the Germans to secure modi-
fication of the terms of the armistice.
Marshal Foch's reply was a refusal to
consider change, and a dispntcn from
Basel gives the text Of the marshal's
RELY, which says:
"No attention can be given to the
demands presented in General Won
Winterfeldt's letter of November 21.
The Joint Armistice Commission
meeting appears to be in accordance
with Clause "a of the armistice, which
admitted the principle as a permanent
international armistice under the direc-
ton of the Allied military and naval
chiefs. While its duties are restricted
to the execution of the armistice, it
is one Of the prelminares which will
merge later into the sessions of the
lnter-Allied Conference and the peace
congress.
The Temps" says the German mis-
sion which will take part in the ne
gotiation of the peace prelmnaries
will not be quartered in Paris, but in
the immediate vicinity of the city.
King Albert of Belgium will visit
Paris on December s. it is announced.
He will depart for Brussels early in
the evening

another American officer, aboard the

AMERICAN ARMY OF OCCUPATION,
Nov 25 (By The Associated Press).-
Most of the Germans in the retiring
army the retreat of which the Ameri-
cans are following have shown keer
eagerness on reaching German soil to
return TO their homes Immediately
and engage again in their civilian occu-
pations. according to reports. A move
mcnt the other way by Alsatians and
Lorrainers, who have been in the Ger
man army, is in progress. Many os
them have been released by the Ger
mans or given passes by soldiers and
sailors committees and have reached
the American lines.
Not great deal % discipline among
the German troops moving along the
roadways is reported. They are doing
much as they please, and the officers
are not attempting to take severe
measures because Of the feeling of the
men against them. Instances of loot
ing in various regions are occurring.
according to accounts coming in, but
most of these are individual cases,
where soldier or two appropriate a
farmers chickens.
The German commanders continue
to communicate with the Third Army
by wireless, informing the Americans
Of the Germans progress each day
On Sunday the wireless was inter-
rupted at times and the German com
mand was unable to send number
Of messages which it was eager to get
into American hands. Two officers
with a white flag crossed the bridge
over the Moselle at Wasserbillig,
therefore, carrying the messages.
These were the last Germans to set
foot in the line held by the Americans.
The officers remained but few mo-
ments, as they said they had long
way to travel to reach their regiments.
