boats and almost exhausted from theil
long pull for shore, the members of the
crew told stirring tales.
Captain r. X. Lowery OF Brooklyn
told how the Texel, representing value
of more than $2,000,000, was torpedoed
and sunk.
"The first warning we had" said Cap
tain Lowery, was when shrapnel burst
over the bridge at 4;20 on Sunday after
noon. Two submarines next drew along
side our ship. The captain, who spoke
good English, boarded our boat, demand
ed our papers and ordered us to leave the
ship. The guns of his U-boat were kept
trained on us" .
After the submarine commander had
taken over the Texel, Captain Lowery
reported that the captor said:
II hate like h to do this, but we
have been ordered to get into action or
return home We have been over here
for two months"
The Texel sank at Sis P. m.

The enemy advanced at few points,
notably around Scissors, where he is
trying to batter in the tip of the allied
salient. The village OF Pernant was lost
by the French in this area, and they had
to give little ground further south, The
German attack was held elsewhere
To the south between the Ourcq and
the Marna, ground was given and taken
by both sides. The Americans were in
the fighting here, securing their success
at Neuilly wood Just to the south of
this wood, the French were Obliged to
concede the town of Neuilly la Poterie to
the Germans after the place had changed
hands several times.
Strong counter-attacks were carried
out by the French at other points on
this front, and one of these enabled Gen
eral Petain's troops to recapture the
village of Mosloy. In the stretch south
ward TO the Marne, the Germans were
held from any further advances.

T0ITS BASE
Navy Department Believes
Danger Is Over for
the Present
MORE THAN 10 SHIPS
PROBABLY SUNK
American Fleets Securing
the Seas in Search of
the Enemy

Washington, D. c., June 4.-Navy de
partmcnt officials believed to-day thu
submarine or submarines that sank prob
ably more than ten American vessels of
the Atlantic coast was on its way back
| to its base and for the time the danger
was over.
Secretary Daniels announced in the
morning that no additional advices OF
submarine activities had reached the de-
partment.
Warships, submarine chasers, and air
planes, were securing the seas to-day in
search of the enemy. Naval officials
threw vail of secrecy over their move
ments, however, and requested newspa-
pers to make no mention of their where
abouts.
There is a growing impression here
that only one submarine took part in the
raid. The navy department is in posses
sion of no information that would indi-
cate more. Mr. Daniels said to-day that
nothing to confirm other reports indicat-
ing that from one to five submersibles
had been off the coast had been received
The secretary reiterated his opinion that
the purpose of the raid was to create a
demand in the United States for the re-
turn of naval craft TO home waters. This,
he said, was based on speculation and
not on any concrete information.
No information has reached the de.
psrtment, il was said, indicating that
during the eleven days or more the sub
marine now is known to have been in
American coastwise waters, that ii had
any communication with agents ashore.
1t is understood, however that the ma
val service has not neglected that posi-
bility and that every effort to check up
what has transpired along the coast is
in the program it is following
out.

"CITY OF COLUMBUS"
SAFE IN HARBOR
II Had Been Feared That Steamship of
the Savannah Line Was Sunk By
German Submarine.

An Atlantic Port, June 4.-The City
Of Columbus, of the Savannah line, which
ct was feared had been sunk by a Ger
man submarine, is safe in an Atlantic
port harbor.
While the City of Coumbus was an
chored some distance from shore there
was no evidence that she had been dam
aged by submarines. At the time she
came into ,hsrbor it had not been known
here that she had been reported sunk.
No boat had come ashore half an hour
after the ships arrival
The City Of Columbus had been at an
chor for some time before her identity
was discovered. The vessel entered the
harbor shortly after the arrival of

Miners Transportation company reached
here, and the fact that no message was
Immediately sent ashore was taken to
mean that the vessel merely had sought
refuge and that all was well aboard.

900 SURVIVORS
OF THE CAROLINA

An Atlantic Port, June 4.--Three
hundred of the passengers and
crew of the torpedoed steamship
Carolina were picked up at sea in
open boats by the schooner Eta B.
Douglas. The schooner anchored a
mile off an Atlantic inlet at l:30
o'clock this afternoon, apparently
awaiting orders regarding the dis
position of his shipwrecked cargo.
In addition seven members of
the crew were landed at the inlet
wharf by coast guard lifeboat.
They consisted of Martin Carroll
of Newark, N. j., and six Porto
Ricans.
The men tarried long enough to
say they had tough time" and
then they were whisked off to the
coast guard station, where they
were supplied with much needed
food.

making program arranged by the spon-
sors for one of the most enthusiastic
Italian American war rallies ever held in
the city. A parade preceded the rally in
the park, with city and state officials
lending dignity TO the occasion by march
ing with the members of the war chest
committee and many citizens. City Clerk
James Mackay presided at the exercises
and the speakers were Atty. Joseph Frat
TIM of Montpelier, Col Herbert T. John
son, Fred A. Rowland, president of the
National Life Insurance company, and
Atty. Augusta Franceschini, formerly
Italian consul at Boston, whose eloquent
grafton on why Italy is at War" COM
bined a timely statement of Italy's case
with a moving plea for the war chest
plan. Enthusiasm was rampant and it
cannot be doubted that the various
speakers in turn drove home some very
telling arguments in favor of the war
chest that Barre hopes to fill in the next
10 days.
IL was colorful parade which swung
up North Main street around z: 80 o'clock
and turned into the park. Barre's two
musical organizations, the Christoforo
Colombo band and the Barre pipe and
drum band, played at intervals while
the marchers were on their way. Amer

same crowd, moving in the wake of the

ground in the park and then took up

as a speakers platform, was
decorated with the colors Of

peakers and members of the war chest
committee and city council.
City Clerk Macksy's opening speech in
