DARING RAID

OFF CAR oil Ma
Diamond Shoals Lightship in
important Shipping Lane
SheIIed and Sunk by
Enemy Submarine.
BY Associated Press.

Washington, Aug. 7-Destruction
by submarine of Diamond Shoals
lightship No. II, a helpless craft an
chored off Cape Hatteras to warn
shipping from the treacherous shoals
forming the grave yard of the At
lantic coast" confirms the belief of
naval officials that German sea wolves
sent to this side of the Atlantic are
under orders to handicap commerce
in all ways possible without exposing
themselves to naval or other formida-
BILE opponents.
News of the shelling and sinking of
the lightship came to the Navy de-
partment today, clearing up the mys-
terry of earlier reports from coast
guard stations on the North Carolina
coast that heavy shelling was heard at
sea yesterday afternoon. The crew
of IL men on the light vessel es-
capped in the small boat and rowed the
10 or IL miles to shore.
Subsequently, the submarine ap-
peared within half a mile of the land
which projects far out from the main
coast of North Carolina. There were
no reports of attacks on villages,
coast guard stations or lighthouses
and the purpose of the submarine
commander in showing himself so
near the beach was not clear. SO far
as has been reported no attack was
made on any villages or other OBJ
jects.
A Canadian Atlantic Port, Aug T.
An American schooner arrived here
today with 68 members of the crew
of the Tokuyama Maru, 1929 tons
gross, a Japanese freight steamship
which had been torpedoed off the
Nova Scotia coast on voyage from
England to an American port. The
crew took to the small boats and was
picked IN bv the American schooner.

DRAFTED MEN ON :
Way FOR DUTY IN
TRAINING CAMP
Entertainment Given 108 Oma-
ha Selects Before They De-
part for California;
Crowd Bids G0odby.

One hundred and eight Oman;
men, selected for special training al
Menlo park, California, were given
an entertainment and grand farewell
party last night by the Chamber OF
Commerce committee and by women
of the Red Cross.
The men had luncheon at the Cham
Der Of Commerce at o'clock. The
Red Cross distributed cigarets, little
French-speaking books and other
gifts. Then the selects marched to
the court house to listen to music
by band and singing by the COM
munity chorus. Patriotic and popu-
lar songs were played and sung.
Addresses were made by Rev. Will
liam Spence, pastor of the Hanscom
Park Methodist church, Miss Joy Hig
gins, who has returned recently from
a survey of war conditions in France
and England; by Mayor Smith and
by Hon. Thomas J. Nolan.
These exercises lasted more than
two hours. There was large crowd
present made up largely of the par
ents, families and friends of the de-
parting men as we'll as other citizens.
At l0:45 the march to the station
began, the band heading the process
sion and the embryo soldiers being
accompanied by several times their
number of men and women.
The boys had spent most of the
day drilling around the streets of the
city.

Dakota, bound for the same camp,

Further CWtaiIment
Of Business Proposed
Bu Industries Board

Washington, Aug. 7.-Further
business curtailment as the result of
war conditions may be expected, it
was said today by the war indus
tries board.
Measures being considered, it was
learned, include possible command
eering of supplies of coal. steel and
other war essentials held in excess
of actual requirements before cur
tailment orders went into effect.
In many cases manufacturers have
obtained 100 per -cnt coal and steel
supplies before restrictions went
into effect, it was said.

This was the impression gained by
members of the senate military COM
mittee who heard General March ex-
plain in executive session the War de-
partment's reasons for asking exten-
sion of draft age limits. They learned
that the definite decision to enlarge
the American military program to an
army of 100000 men was reached
about July 80, and is in accordance
with an agreement reached in Paris
shortly before that time.
u. S. Will Double Its Efforts.
The date when the United States
decided to more than double the
great effort it already was making
and to bring its whole man power
to bear Immediately, may be signih-
cant. General Foch's smashing blow
which has fattened out the Aisne-
Marne salient and has thrown the
whole German front from Rheims to
the sea into jeopardy, was struck July
Is, with American troops bearing
their full share.
1t appeared possible the success OF
that blow influenced American Off
cials, who continuously have pressed
for a vigorous aggressive campaign
at the earliest possible moment and
with the attention concentrated on
the western front, to believe that
enough could be done this year to
prepare the way for a smashing mill
tary triumph next year when the full
American army becomes available.
The period of time covered by esti-
mates for equipment and transporta-
ton of troops under the enlarged
army plan is understood to carry it
up to next spring.
100000 to Go to Front.
AS the project is understood. it is
contemplated to place an army of
substantially 100000 American
troops in France before the spring
campaign opens, backed by 100000
more at home, moving forward as
needed. In this connection intima-
tions that the British have made ex-
traordinary efforts to concentrate
troops on three western fronts in the
last few months become increasingly
significant.
Coupled with the French and
American efforts, this gives promise
of such overwhelming forces in the
battle next year that a comparatively
short and bitter fight may see the
issue decided and the German army
driven beyond the Rhine if it is not
destroyed in the field.

The Germans lost considerably in
casualties. Prisoners stories tended
to corroborate the opinion of those
previously taken that the Germans
expect to continue their retreat until
the Aisne is reached.

The attack began between and
5 o'clock Tuesday afternoon. BY
midnight those on the right had

Allies Were Defeated at
Sea, Declares Premier
Lloyd George.
BY Associated Press.

London, Aug. t. DaVld
Lloyd George, the British prime
minister, today in a speech be-
fore the house of commons, re-
viewed extensively the war sit
uation. He referred particular
ly to what had been accom-
plished in the recent drive by
the allied forces on the Sois-
sons-Rheims salient, to the de-
struction of German subma-
rines, of which $50 had been ac-
counted for since the war be-
gan-more than half of these
in the last year-and the part
the Americans now were play
ing and would play later in the
fight for the cause Of democ-
racy. $
''He would be sanguine man on
the German general staff who would
now predict that Germany could OBJ
tain a military decision this year"
the premier declared. as he character
lied Marshal Foch's counter offensive
as 'the most brilliant in the annals Of
the war" ..-~.s -.~--.,-
British Sea Power Supreme.
Reyerting to peace, Lloyd George
said the people who had xlade the
war still we're in evidence and that
they could have no peace so long as
they were predominant in the coun-
cils of the enemy. Speaking of the
part the British navy had played, he
said until all the allies were defeated
at sea Germany could never triumph.
When Great Britain decided to
throw its whole weight into the war,
he continued, it did so because of an
outrage on international rights. Had
it not taken this decision, the whole
course of the war would have been

Amsterdam, Oct. 16 .-- German newspapers are preparing the pub lie for an announcement of Turkey s withdrawal from the war. On Tuesday the Frankfort Gazette printed @ dis patch from Constantinople to the eff feet that far-reaching events were impending there.

It was through these channels, according to the newsaper's correspondents, that first overtures were made to Wash ington looking to the withdrawal of Bulgaria from the war.
