Armed French Merchantmen Reports
Fight With Submarine Off the
Virginia Capes.

Washington. - Two more unarmcd
merchantmen have been sunk In Amer
lean waters by the U boat raiders,
bringing the total number of victims
up to 1S. One was the Norwegian
steamer Vinland, sunk within G5 miles
Of the Virginia Capes. The other WAS
an unidentified oil tanker, sunk within
100 miles of Cape ienlopen.
A French armed merchant ship
raced into an Atlantic port during The
day, reporting an encounter with one
of the raiders off the Virginia Capcs.
The sinking of the Vinland indicates
that the q boats have not put out 10
sea or have returned to their secret
base, believed to be somewhere In
southern waters. Their continued ac-
tiyity in harrying and destroying ship
ping in the coastwise lanes was regard
ed as proof they are receiving supplies
from mother ship. .,...-....---

is only a question of time when the
raiders will be destroyed or forced 10

lance, however, will follow even when

sued an order forbdding any commu-
nication with ships in the haibor.
The torpedoing of the British steam-
er Harpathian showed the reluctance
of the raiders to expose themselves 10
any possibility of attack, and in prac-
ticalIy every instance their victims
have been unarmed.
One explanation advanced for this

London.-The Germans began their
fourth great offensive of the year
After Il short but terrific lombard
ment, they stormed forward on a u
mile front between Montdidier and
N0yon, along the southern side of the
iicardy salient and adjoining the new
Champagne salient.
Despite the severe losses inflicted
on-them by the French, Crown Prince
Rupprechts men pushed forward to d
depth of two and half miles at GER
lain points and at one point four
miles.
On the wings of the new salient the
French broke the force of the blow,
preventing the enemy from advancing
far The Germans progressed more
than mile near the western end of
the front attacked, capturing the
towns Of RubeScourt, lie Fretoy and
Moftemer. On tie right the enemy
made only slight gains against the
desperate allied resistance before Con-
necancourt and Vile.

the French back to the region of Res-

In 1920 the United States will have
the greatest merchant fleet ever as
sembled. 1t will cost $5,000,000,000
and it will aggregate 25,000,000 dead
weight tons.
These were the inspiring figures re-
vealed by Edward N. Hurley, chair
man Of the United States Shipping
Board, in his address at the COM
mencement exercises of the Uniyer-
sity of Notre Dame, an address which
gave the first official detailed survey
Of what has been and is to be accom-
plished in building up the American
merchant marine to gigantic proper
tions.
Furthermore Chairman Hurley, nev-
er given to unreasonable predictions
or overoptimism, assured the young
men of Notre Dame that 100000 ad-
ditional tons of shipping will have
been produced by the allies by the
end of this year, 100000 coming
from the ways of nations other than
America and 100000 by the latest
calculation coming from American
shipyards.
In fact Chairman Hurley accepts
the enthusiastic promise of Charles
NJ. Schwab, director general of the
Emergency Fleet Corporation, that the
100000 tons estimate for America Is
too conservative and that the expert
estimate of 100000 tons will surely
be exceeded.
= Chairman Hurley recalled that on
July l, 1916, America had no mer-
chant marine worthy Of the name, a
total of so per cent. of the dead
weight tonnage Of only 2,412,391 being
employed in coastwise and great lakes
trade. There was only one line cross
ing the Atlantic, one line crossing the
Pacific, only a few trading to South
America and the West Indies and none
to India, Africa, Australia and the east
coast Of South America.
Next year the nations tremendous
new shipbuilding industry will be ca
pable of turning out 13,51S,000 dead
weight tons, more than Great Britain,
