Submarine Within Halt Mile OF
Shore in Sea Lane OF
Heavy Travel.
EXPLOIT is REGARDED
AS MOST DARING DEED
Crew of Twelve Row Safely to
Shore-Guide to Navigation to
Be Restored at Once.

The Diamond Shoals lightship,
off Cape Hatteras, N. C., was
shelled and sunk by an enemy
submarine late yesterday, the
Navy Department today was in
formed. The crew Of twelve
men, who took to their boats,
have reached shore safely.
The vessel destroyed was
lightship No. II.
The submarine came within a
half-mile of shore, according to
The brief report.
Light to Be Restored.
The Diamond shoals lightship
guards the outthrust reefs of storm
swept Cape Hatteras, which is known
as the graveyard of the Atlantic
coast. 1t is declared to be imperative
that the light be restored at once.
Steps to that end already have been
taken by the commander of the naval
district. If necessary a patrol of
anti-submarine craft may be estab-
lished. "...
Tae attack upon the lightship may
represent new phase of enemy sub
marine operations off the American
coast, designed to hamper shipping by
destruction of important navigation
signals. On the other hand it may
merely represent an isolated case of
frightfulness.
Famous Guide to Navigation.
The Diamond Shoals light station is
one of the most famous guides to
navigation in the world, and has
been the subject of many a story in
verse and prose. Such vessels usu-
ally are manned by graybeards and
are of such a type as to be utterly
helpless in the face of an enemy at
tack.
The attacking submarine probably is
the one that sank the American
steamer o. P. Jennings one hundred
days ago. Her exploit in showing
herself above water within half a
mile of the Carolina coast. in an i'm
portant shipping lane where innumer-
able patrol boats are supposed to be
plying, is one of the most daring
recorded since the German raiders
first made their appearance on this
side of the Atlantic.
Although the Navy's report says the
mile of shore. naval officers doubt it.
The lightship was anchored some
twelve miles off shore in shallow
water.

PAN-GERMAN PRESS
LOSES CONFIDENCE
Issue of War Admitted in
Doubt, With Fear of De-
feat Expressed.

LONDON. August THE despond-
ent tone of the latest German press
comments is emphasized daily in spe-
cial dispatches from Holland. A dis
patch to the Psfly Mail from The
Hague today includes an editorial by
the Dusseldorf Nachrichten. which
says that nobody looking into the fu-
ture can see an end to the war.
For though it Is true that the end
might come quickly" 1t adds. "it
could only be an end of terror, as in
Russia"
The yorwaerts of Berlin .says tli4t
events Of recent days at last have
shattered the Illusion. created by in.
spired optimism, that Germany is in
vincible. 1t says:
War Not Won May Be Lost.
THE German people at last realize
the colossal gravity Of the situation
Let us have courage to admit that as
long as the war is not ended 1t is not
won and can be lost
The principal north German organ
of the majority socialists, the Buer-
ger AclluHS OI bremen, says.
BLACK and dark is the hour The
sacrifices made by the people are i'm
measurable. and those of the fifth
year OF the war will be gigantic. but
no refreshing breath Of freedom and
civic equality blows through the op.
pressive night of our discomfort"

ZURICH. Switzerland, August T.
The German hope of ending the wal

German Gain Offset,
while it is admitted that this vic.
tory does not yet possess any decisive
character, there is one result which
cannot be called in question-the
strong moral effect produced by the
three German offensives against
Amiens and Paris has been completely
destroyed.
"The allies today have a chief whose

 URGING ACTION
(Aasociated Press)

(A08OCl0I00 FTo89D
 MOSCOW. April 30.-War and Ma rine Minister Leon Trotzky. of the Soviet government, again today urged the central executive committee to issue immediately a decree for com pulsory military service. Minister Trotzky has been endeavoring to have this decree published since the removal of the Russian government to Moscow, but no action has yet been taken.
 He said: Fearing destruction of Russia, we must have an army of sufficient size to be effective. We don't know what hour we will be openly challenged by the imperial. istic enemy which is now threat ening us on the west"
 The German advance into Russia continues uninterruptedly. They have captured several cities and are now nearing Kursk. with a popula. tion of 5O.OO0. which will probably be entered within a few days at the most.
