URGES ACTIVITY
BY TEUTON NAVY
Hindenburg Said to Be Gaining
in His Argument for Co.
operation.

WASHINGTON, June 3-Hinden-
burg is making a new effort to have
the Teuton navy back his land work,
according to advices here today.
He is urging that. regardless of the
cost. the attempt to cripple the Brit
ish sea power as only by this means,
according to the argument he is re-
ported to be making, can the entente
be actually crushed.
For with Britain's navy mistress of
the seas. land victories are futile and
Britain and the entente are uncrush-
cd. it is pointed out.
This is similar to the argument
viewed during the other drives. The
navy department here was advised of
a struggle Hindenburg was having
with Van Capelle. And, at the time
the responsible officials here believed
that Hindenburg would prevail. They
pointed he did not care about
loss of ships. particularly if there was
a ghost of a chance of the sea often
sive being successful and thus
GROWING his glory efforts on land.
That he may prevail eventually was
the view of some here today. With
the possibility of an important sea
action ahead. military men today took
stock Of the general situation with
q somewhat more optimistic spirit
than they have had for several days
past. The resistance to the Huns
westward smash is stiffening as evil
dent by overnight reports of success
full counter attacks that the German
over Sunday failed to make any con-
sid erab BILE advances.

WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN
FRANCE, June 3:-British forces at
tackled on the Strazeele-LaMotte sec
tor, front of about three and a half
miles, north and northwest of Mer-
vile, at l o'clock this morning captur-
ing the high ground and enemy
trenches near Strazeele and about 100
farms in the same locality. The Brit
ish took 140 prisoners, including three
officers.
Further south on the LaMotte farm
(about two miles south of LaMotte
village and the same distance west of
Merville) ten prisoners, four trench
mortars and machine gun were
taken.
The German positions were stormed
by starlight. The result improved the
British positions considerably.
There was heavy bombardment on
both sides of the Scarppe River CAR

face of this cannonading, the British
raided German positions near Arras

CAMP DIX CONTINGENT SAFE
OVERSEAS, CABLEGRAM FROM
ONE BOY WOULD INDICATE
John Bu||winkeI, Jr., Sends
Word Home of His Safe Ar
rival "SOmeWhere."
HE LEFT CAMP RECENTLY
Last Word Many Received
Was in Letters Dropped
From Trains.

A cablegram received this morning
by John Bullwinkel of 1876 Madison
avenue, from his son, John Bullwinkel,
Jr., who was with the large contingent
that left Camp Dix about two weeks
ago. states that the boys have all ar
rived safely "over there" The cable
gran. is short, having only four words,
but will set at ease the minds of hun
dreds of relatives of the boys who were
taken from Camp Dix in the cleaning
out" of that cantonment about two
weeks ago. =,
The cablegram does not bear the
name of the place from which it was
sent but reads: ARRIVED safe, thank
God. Bullwinkel." A large number
of Perth Amboy men were in this con-
tIngent with Bullwinkel. The last
word received from many of them was
contained in letters thrown from
the trains as they passed through this
city on their way from Camp Dix to
the embarkation point.
1t is believed that more Perth
Amboy men were in the convoy which
has just safely arrived in Europe
than on any other previous fleet of
transports. The letters received here
from the soldiers as they passed
through the city numbered more than
200, 1t is estimated, and all of these
are thought to have left at the same
time, possibly all on the same ship.
Those in this contingent were the
last to leave Camp Dix in the send
ing of all soldiers who had sufficient
training to go abroad across seas.
Many of the local boys in the con-
tinkent which has just arrived in
France or England have been station
cd at Camp DIX since last September
while others were at that camp for
only a few weeks prior to their being
sent across.
1t is likely that many letters and
cards will be received within a week
or so from the local boys who were
in the convoy but who wrote instead
of cabling
George Bulwinkel, the second son
of John Bullwinkel to enter the serv-
ice, this morning enlisted in the Coast
Artillery Corps.

twenty-frst year or will reach it by
Wednesday, will be effected by this
new registration. Following their
registration they will be examined
and placed in the various classes in a
similar manner to that used with the

Bathing Season Opens With
Narrow Escape for Fourteen
Year Old Lad.

Yesterday marked the actual OPEN
ing of the bathing season in this city
and almost resulted in q fatality, quick
work upon the part of one of tho
bathers at Bayard's Beach preventing
such a catastrophe.
Is just opening the life lines which
are usually strung between poles at
Bayard's Beach have not yet been put
up, nor has the raft been put in posi-
ton. any bathers who are unable to
swim or qualified to go only few
strokes, have formed the habit of
wading out, taking hold of one of
these ropes.
About 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon
David Stern, fourteen years old, OF
$50 Watson avenue, commenced wad-
ing out in the water, as he had done
when the ropes were in place. He
continued to go deeper and deeper
neck. He then tried to get back to
the shore but found it impossible, the
current taking him outward.
With his feet unable to touch bot
tom, Stern began to yell and wildly
wave his arms. He went down once,
swallowing considerable water. By
this time several of the good swim
mers along the beach had dashed into
the water and were making for the
struggling boy.
Theodore Won Daggenhausen, of
Water street youth of about six
teen years, was the first to reach
Stern and soon caught him under
the arms. Stern discontinued his
struggles as soon as Won Daggenhau-
sen touched him and lost conscious
ness. Stern was towed into shore and
laid on the sand. After working for
about five minutes with resuscitation
methods Stern was revived. He soon
got to his feet and remained on the
beach for a short time, after which
he went to his home. No doctor was
at the beach at the time of the acci-
dent.
The hot day, said to be the second
hottest June on record brought forth
hundreds of bathers to the shore. They
were in the water from yesterday
morning until late yesterday after |
noon. There was a marked chill in |
the water Yesterday but the bathers |
were willing to endure this rather |
than the heat Of the sun.
Saturday early closing. During the |
months of June, July, August and Sep
tember, our store will close Saturdays
at 1890 noon.
