CHRIsrIANIA, Sept. 6.-Three weeks
ago 1t was reported from various places
on the Danish and Norwegian coasts
that a heavy cannonade had been heard
in the North Sea. A few days later the
bodies of German marines. all wearing
life belts stamped with Identification
marks of German destroyers, were
washed ashore.
AS no naval battle between the Ger
man and British vessels had been re-
ported there was much speculation over
the appearance of these bodies and
many guesses concerning the cannonad-
ing that had been heard previously.
The riddle is now solved apparently.

The barc fact without details has
been reported officially to the Navy De-
partmen. by Admiral Sims. Secretary
Daniels. in making the announcement
today. said he had cabled Admiral Sims
to send all details at the earliest possi-
BILE moment
When It became known that the
transports run back to port after the
attack had been made at fourteen knots
the prevailing opinion In naval circles
was that she had not been seriously
crippled.
Probably Were No Casualties.
Naval officers believe that the failure
TO mention any loss Of life probably
means that there were no casualties.
1t is at least believed that the casual
ties could not have been heavy. as other
wise this fact would have been reported
In the brief cable.
1t is not yet known whether the ship
was under convoy at the time or whether
tho convoy had left her. Speedy ships
may to a large extent rely on their speed
after being conveyed several hundred
miles out. and it may be that this pro-
cedure was followed with the Mount

1t has been known here for some time
that the German U-boat commanders
have been making particular efforts TO

the United States Government. The
kronprinzessln Cecilie was one of the
interned German ships most seriously
damaged by the crew when 1t became

to take the vessels over. The Navy De-

AMERICAN HEADQUARTERS IN FRANCE
Sept. 6.-The Germans are across the
River Aisne and this time they made no
attempt to veil their retirement or even
to exact ordinary penalties for the ad-
vance OF the Americans. The opposition
which they put up between the Vesle and
Aisne rivers was OF the sottest character.
The Aisne region was illuminated last
night by stores and villages set afire by
the Germans to celebrate their final re-
tirement from this part of their captured
territory.
The machine guns left behind to check
the American advance were inadequate
even to slow up the pace at which the
Americans were going, and the shelling
of the roads along which they were
marching and the villages through which
they were passing was without any ap-
parent plan.
French Meet Resistance.
Further east the French are up against
stiffer resistance. but the Americans
everywhere have gained the crest OF the
hills.

on the Aisne front extended this fore
noon through Revillon and across (de-
leted) and then southeasterly to tho line
held by the French. The latter had not
yet left their positions westward from
Rheims.
There are indications of another tenn
porary stabilization of the lines. The
Americans progressed during the night
and this forenoon until the main line
was just in front Of the Aisne positions
and the American patrols were in con-
tact with those of the Germans in the

HE PORTEOUs G MTCHELL CO.
PUTNAM

Estimates of the fire damage in this city's big blaze, that did not burn out until early Friday morning. ran dur ing Friday as high as S50,000. The chief damage Es to the dry goods stock of the B. D. Bugbee Co.'S store, the largest mercantile establishment in the city.
 The fire, which broke out at mid night, damaged the building occupied entirely by the Bugbee store and the adjoining brick building known as the court house block. The heat inside the Bugbee store was so terrific as to cause the plate glass in the big show windows on the Elm street side to crack in many places.
 The fire depar tment worked valiant ly and successfully against a blaze that threatened a real disaster to Put nam, and were it not for the damage to the large and very valuable stock in the Bugbee store the loss in other ways would not have been exceed ingly heavy.
 As the fire gained headway it ate through the walls of the Bugbee store building and began to sweep the in terior when the fight against it was commenced by the department Thousands of gallons of water were poured into the store from streams that led in from Elm street and from Front street and down from the roof (Norwich Bulletip)
