Two Successors Possibly

It is entirely probable that the presi- dent may fill separately the offices of secretary of the treasury and direc- tor general of railroads. There was nothing official tonight on which to base a statement as to who might be under consideration for secretary of the treasury. On previous occasions when a successor to Nr. McAdoo was discussed John Skelton Williams, comptroller of the currency. and w. P. G. Harding. governor of the fed eral reserve board, have most gen. orally been mentioned. Paul Warburg, formerly a member of the reserve board and a prominent New York banker, and Russell c. Leffingwell, as- sistant secretary of the treasury, also are reckoned among the possibilities.
 President Wilson is not required to choose the new director general of railroads from among the cabinet members and it is possible that the place may go to some one associated

France, Wednesday, June 5.-An
American machine gun battalion ac-
counted for approximately one thou
sand Germans while holding a bridge
at Chateau Thierry during the recent
fighting. The Americans lost only one
man killed and !. few wounded. At
the same time French troops wiped
out a force of three hundred Ger
mans who had obtained footing on
the southern bank of the Marne.
While the Germans dominated the
town from Hill 204, the Americans
and French set up machine guns in
the windows and doorways of houses.
Great fierceness marked the fighting
which ragged for several days.
One officer told the correspondent
today that it was all the commanders
could do to keep the Americans from
crossing the river in the teeth of the
enemy fire and assaulting the hill
position.
Their is little left of Chateau
Thierry. 1t has been shot to pieces
and now is only pile of bricks and
stones.
The Germans concentrated large
forces in Neuilly wood and started
across in mass formation. They were
moved down by the American ma
chine gunners, their formations were
broken and they were put to fight
before reaching the American line.
Show Their Valor
Many American officers and pri-
Yates showed great daring and for
titude in withstanding the German
attacks along the Marne at Chateau,
Thierry and Jaulgonne.
Captain John r. Mendehall, of
New Rochelle, n. Y, went without
sleep for three days and remained
steadily at the head of his company
during that time. Corporal Jules
Mangold, of Mcdonald. Pa, was sent
out to investigate German snipers
under heavy fire from the Ameri-
can line. He found the snipers,
pointed them out to his comrades
and the Germans fired no more.
The first American to receive the
French War Cross for bravery in the
present battle was Lieutenant Wal
ter r. Flannery, of Pittsburgh, who
swan across the Marine and rescued
a wounded French soldier Lieuten-
ant John T. Bissel, of Pittsburgh,
has been cited for the French War
Cross for leading his machine gun
command to the north side of the
Marine in an attempt to stop the Ger
man attack.

Along Atlantic Seaboard
NAVY WIDENS SCOPE
OF ITS LONG SEARCH
Believe Submarines Have
Been Driven South by the
Heavily Increased Patrol;
Mines Are Picked Up
BY Associated Press

Washington, June "a $4,000
600 appropriation for establishing
balloon and seaplane stations to guard
the United States against submarines
and air attacks was asked of Con-
gress to-day by the War Depart
ment The department desires to es-
tablish sixteen stations, thirteen of
| them on the Atlantic coast and three
on the sulf coast. Definite locations
were not given.
The coast defense plan as sub
mitted by the Department also calls
for the establishment of mobile forti-
tications along the coasts by which
guns could be transferred on rail-
roads from one point to another to
meet possible attacks.
The House appropriations commit
tee, to whom the request went, was
informed that there are in operati

fend the coast artillery. but that the
stations are needed. The only pos
sible airplane attacks that could be
made it was said. would come from
collapsihle airplanes carried by sub
marines
Operation of observation balloons
would be largely for signal purposes.
Washington, June 6-While near
ly forty hours have passed since the
German submarines preying upon
shipping off the Atlantic coast had
disclosed their position. efforts of
the Navy Department to hunt down
the raiders had not lessened in the
least to-day. Instead, the search
was being extended to more southern
regions in the belief that the German

Norwegian steamer Eidsvold late
Tuesday off the Virginia Capes, hur-
ried southwark in hope of finding a
locality in which naval patrols were

Location of the raiders off the Vir-

some Navy Department officials to
believe that the submarines may

gion in belief that there in the path

Details of the sinking of the Eds

Dispatches received last night by the
Navy Department said the steamer
was sunk forty miles off the Virginia
coast and that the crew had been
rescued by a Navy supply ship.
Patrol craft to-day were also
engaged in the search for mines
strewn off the Delaware Capes by the
raiders. Several .uneXploded mines

By associated Press

Washington, June 6.-Demonstra-
tions in force against new portions
of the western front are looked for
by War Department officials now
that the German third drive has been
slowed down to a struggle for i'm
provement of local positions west
and south of scissors. 1t is regarded
as entirely possible that increased
activity in front of the American
sector northwest of Toul may in
dicate an impending blow there.
The conclusion is based on the
opinion strongly held by some Of
hcials that the drive was designed to
draw off reserves from the Amiens
and Flanders sectors. An attack on
the American sector in such strength
as to drive the line back, it is argued
might hamper General Foch in his
employment of American units to
support his lines in Picardy, Flanders
and the Aisne regions.
Foch Outguessed Enemy
Othcers regard the fact that no
new blow has been struck at the
Amiens front as conclusive evidence
ponents when he determined to let
the Aisne front stand on its own
strength, even at the cost of much
territory overrun by the enemy until
he could assemble additional units
from scattered points along the line
beyond Rheims. The very success of
the Germans in pressing on to the
banks of the Marne, it was argued,
meant that Foch was resolved not to
weaken his lines to- the north.
Look For Critical Battle
Another indication that the
French strategists have outguessed
the German general staff is seen in
the fact that the original strength
used by the crown prince in the
Aisne drive was put at 25 divisions.
He has since employed in this the
ater double that number.
The critical battle, the final Ger
man effort to break through to the
channel coast, will be fought. of
fcers believe, before Foch finds him
self able to turn the tables on the
enemy and to begin what they are
certain will be a march to Berlin if
complete victory cannot be won
short of that goal.

Gumligen, Switzerland, Wed,
nesday, June 5.-Germany was

ultimatum sent to Serbia at the
outbreak of the war, says DR.

closures on the responsibility for
the bringing on of the conflict
Emperor William was personally
reported for Germany's partici-
patton and forced the German
leaders to support his war
policy.
DIR. Muehlon, who was head OF
Krupps at the outbreak of the war
and who recently startled Europe
with his disclosures, received the cor
respondent of the Associated Press
at his country place here where he
is now living in retirement. The
visit came as DR.. Muehlon was pre-
pairing to issue a more detailed re-
view VI NOHulllOuS ledulns 10 lilt
RCar and the correspondent had the
privilege of going over the document
with the personal explanations of
the author.
DIR. Muehlon's first disclosure,
which caused such a commotiou,
gave conversations with DIR. Karl
Helferich, former ViCe-chancellor,
and DR.. Krupp Won Bohlen, chief
owner of the Krupp works. in which
both told him the emperor had dis
closed his agreement with Austria =
Hungary on the ultimatum to Ser
bia and that Germany would mobi-
lize Immediately if Russia modified
which would inevitably drown in the
other powers and precipitate a uni
Versal war.
The whole trend of the present
work is to show that the world con-
fiict was imposed by the German en-
peror's personal military policy and
his private engagement with Aus
tria on the eve of the struggle.
DR.. Muehlon gives further details
of his conference with DIR. Helfferich

which Helfferich told of the en-
peror's plans toward Austria and
Russia. Although Muehlon has been
tiercely attacked by the German gov

The former Krupp director relates
an incident following the outbreak
of the war when the emperor requir-

Involuntary supporters of his war
policy. Assembling them as guests,
the emperor exclaimed suddenly:

says:
The guests could hardly do 9TH
crwise when thus hidden by their
imperial host in his own castle to
shake hands with him and thus a
VOW was extorted which would be of
value only if given freely"
DR.. Muehlon declares that the or
der issued by the crown prince of
Bavaria to the troops in Belgium
amounted to a command to give no
quarter to prisoners. He adds:
II have received a letter from the
field which brings me the unheard
of information that the emperor has

they would take good care to make
