German DriUe
Regarded as q
Race to Paris

Paris, June 4.-The German ad-
vance on the Aisne seems to be Ge-
Neloping into a race for Paris and
recalls the race for the sea after
the battle Of the Marne. In 1914
il was a question primarily OF
speed, each side trying to outpace
the other and turn his opponent s
wings. The present contest is a
race Of effectives with each con-
testant trying to bring up as many
men as possible in the shortest
possible time in order to be numer
ical master of the situation.
In the offensive begun March 21
the Germans intended to capture
Amiens and the channel ports. The
effort, however, was not OF a nature
to bring about Immediate results.
The Germans realized this and in
their haste to finish matters resum-
ed the march toward Paris for d
third time. thinking that success
would mean an end to the war. The
eremy now is apparently risking
all in a formidable attempt to rea-h
Paris.

Adriff at Sea

New York, June 4-Evidence that
the German submarine that attack
ed the New York and Porto Rico
liner Carolina sheIled her life boats
was brought here today by a Brit
ish steamer from West Indian ports.
The British ship reported that she
had picked up at p. IN. yesterday
off Cape May an empty motor life
boat belonging to the Carolina,
damaged by shell fire.
The hull of the motor boat had
been pieICed by the fire of the u
boats guns. One of the only three
oars found in the boat had been
splintered in a way that indicates
the use of a machine gun. There
was found in the boat a mans cap
and a number of biscuit tins.
A boat from the steamship Caro-
lima containing 10 survivors includ-
ing two women, has landed at
Lewes, Del.
This message was received by the
New York and Porto Rico line to-
DAY from the coast guard service.
All but one of the 10 survivors were
passengers, the message indicated.

WAR DEPARTMENT
KNEW FOCH PLAN
TO PUT YANKS IN

Washington, June with Amer
lean troops aiding the French at
two points on the new battle front,
there are indications that the war
department had some advance
knowledge of the purpose of Cen
eral Foch. supreme commander, to
put Am erican troops into the fight
ing on the new lines. 1t is known
that announcement on some impor-
tant action of the Americans in this
area was foreshadowed in yester-
days Official advices.
The action at Neuilly, in which
the Americans participated in
thrusting back the German ad-
vance, appears to be on the flank
of a renewed German effort 10 press
westward. To the north, the Ger
mans have progressed directly west
on the road from Scissors to Com
peigne also. 1t is thought that an
effort Is being made to encircle Vii
lers Cotteret forest, which has so
far proved a stumbling block in the
road Of the great turning move
ment hinging on scissors which is
IN progress
In that case the Americans are at
q point where desperate fighting IS
to be expected and their dash and
eagerness may we'll be of substan-
tial aid to the French in stemming
this new thrust to cut off Paris
from the battle zones OF Picardy
and Flanders.

Persons Missing.

New York. June 4.-The pos
/ Sible death toll from Germany's
submarine warfare OH the
American side of the Atlantic
during the last 10 days was re-
duced today to not more than
a few at most.
The possibility that every person
was saved on board the coastwise
steamship Carolina shelled and
probably sunk by one of Ger
many's invading U-bOats on Sun
day, was indicated this afternoon
with the arrival Of ships at vari-
Gus Atlantic ports.
At one port the American
schooner Eva B. Douglass put ii
with $50 passengers and "a of the
crew. At a second port, a British
steamship arrived with IS OF the
passengers and one seaman.
Official announcement that the
port of New York has been re
opened was made this afternoon.
Believe All Saved.
Officials of the Porto Rican
steam line following the receipt
of a telegram from Captain Bar
bOur OF the steamer Carolina and
Information from Lewis, Della, and
Atlantic City Of the landing OF 9TH
er survivors announced late today
their belief that all Of the passen-
gers and crew Of the destroyed
vessel mad been saved.
The City Of Columbus, of the Sa-
yannah line, arrived at an Atlantic
port. bringing safely her passengers
and crew, numbering III, who had
been listed as missing. Also at At
lantic ports arrived the steamship
Grecian with the missing crew of
the sunken schooner Jacob NJ. Has
kell. the Governor Cobb, a United
States shipping board training ship,
with 200 apprentice seamen aboard;
the steamship Dorchester, of the
Merchants and Miners Transporta-
ton company. and the Clyde liner
huron, from a southern port.
While the country has been
startled by the appearance of the
enemy raider on this side of the
Atlantic, the fact stood out today
that although it has been in Ameri-
can waters 10 days, its success from
a military point of view has been
negligible. No transport or ship
bound with war supplies for Europe
has been sunk. The total American
tonnage known TO have been de-
stroyed amounts to something over
twenty thousand tons gross, all
coastwise ships, seven OF them sail
ing vessels.
Tanker Is Damaged.
News reached here today that an
American tanker, damage as a re
suit Of d fight with a German sub
marine off the American coast, had
arrived at an Atlantic port. Naval
tugs picked up the crippled vessel
at sea and towed her in. Details
were withheld for the time.
The tauker's hull was punctured
and she had shipped considerable
quantity of water.
Reports came to shipping authOE-
tiles today that another American
tank steamship had been sunk by a
German submarine. No details
were disclosed.

violent attacks took place in the
