Loose In Duel
On Toul Front
Pershing's Cunners Answer
Teutons, Shot for Shot;
Enemy Flier Downed
(By The Associated Presa)

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, June 3.-After long inactiv-
lty an artillery duel broke out this
morning northwest of Toul. 1t lasted
several hours, both American and Ger
man Aatteries letting loose everything
they had. The Germans used much
gas and high explosives.
The terrific roar of the explosions
gradually diminished. until at noon
quiet reigned again. No infantry &C.
tion developed.
Lieutenant Sumner Sewall. of Bath,
Me-, to-day shot down an enemy two
seated airplane inside the American
lines northwest of Toul after a thrill
ing fight in which six German and
three American planes participated.
One Of the American patrol flights
was intercepted and attacked. For
fifteen minutes the machine guns rat
tied and the soldiers below stood and
watched the mannuvres of the air
craft. They saw one enemy plane
chaser pounce upon it. Both aviators
were firing. The American machine
was hit twice, but was not damaged.
The American pilot is certain that he
hit the German, who then started to
retreat.
1t was here that Lieutenant Sewall
dashed in He fought down the Ger
man from 5000 metres to 200 metres
and finally brought him down in a
field.
What remained of the enemy plane
was taken to Toul and set up in the
square Of the town on exhibition.
In three other flights to-day German
machines were driven off In this
fighting the American pilots believe
they got at least one enemy biplane.

Alone and Search Sea
for 20 Miles
Destroyers, Chasers
Hurried Into Action
Increased Precautions for
Protection of Shipping
Will Be Taken To-day

Within few minutes of the receipt
or definite news that the U-boats were
close at hand the coast defences of the
country from far up the New England
shore to below Cape May, N. j., were
fairly humming with activity. Subma-
rine chasers and destroyers fairly tore
through the water and hydroaeroplanes
clrcled through the air, often travelling
as far as twenty miles to sea in their
quest for prey.
BY far the greatest activity in the
air centred at the Hazlehurst aviation
field, Mineola, Long Island. More than
100 planes and dirigible balloons took
to the air early in the afternoon at the
direction of Major E. L. Canady, COM
mander of the field. s
Nearly all the aeroplanes were
handled by regular army men and their
instructions were to patrol not only
the Atlantic Coast line of Long Island
but to cover Long Island Sound as
we'll. From the hour they rose until
nightfall the planes covered their de-
tail, one moment being just over the
line of breakers and the next headed
out to sea for twenty miles or more
without turn.
Fly Low Over the Water
The planes flew low over the water.
and as their pilots guided them on their
way observers armed with high power
glasses searched the surface of the sea

long ready for just the emergency that
has arisen, went about it's task of
searching out the raiders methodically
The aerial work was mostly done by
Signal Corps men, nearly all of whom
carried depth bombs and whose aero
planes were all equipped with radio
devices.
Their patrols took them straight out
to sea, thence to the north and to the
south and then back to shore. All
through the afternoon these whirring
sky scouts kept up their search.
Far down the Jersey coast, to the ex-
treme end where Cape May projects
out into the sea, coast defence activity
began late the night before. Reports
reached the coast-guard station of fir
ing at sea and in less time than it
takes to write it, navy men, mounted
on motorcycles, sped through the town
calling officers and sailors on shore
leave back to quarters.
Increased Precautions To-day
Soon afterward signal lights began
f1aring at Sewall's Point. near Cape
May, and submarine chasers lying
there, were manned and on their way

While it is not permissible here to go
into detail as to the naval and aerial
programme, it may be stated that it
is to be augmented considerably.
While the military authorities natu-
rally refused definite information, it
was reported that the force of iiers
would be increased as soon as possible
by numbers of French, British and
Italian airmen now scattered through
out the country. They are now at
aviation camps, but will be brought 10

Plans to Stay a Month,
U-Boat Captain Says
Quoted Also as Declaring He
Wouldn't Use Torpedo Ex-

"l won't waste torpedo on anything
less than troopship," is what the com
mander of one of the raiding U-boats
told Skipper C. M. Gilmore, Of the
American schooner Edna, who was a
prisoner for eight days on the subma
rine. "Torpedoes are too expensive for
ordinary ships"
The German captain was equally out
spoken in telling his captives of his
plans. 81 have oil and provisions

The undersea boat captain said he

into the war, and argued the question
smiably with his captives, who landed
at an Atlantic port last night.

War Plans
Seek to Delay Transport of
Troops by Forcing Con-
tinuous Conveys
By C. w. Gilbert

WASHINGTON, June 3.-Germany is
bringing the war home to US. That is
the conclusion reached by naval au-
thorities on the scant basis of few
hours sinkngs of American ships off
the American coast by German sub
marines.
Germany is trying to terrorize this
country, perhaps. Perhaps she has the
larger idea of interfering with our
our war plans. 1t is impossible to tell
until more is done and the scope of the
German plan is developed.
The hasty sinking of unsuspecting
prey looks like terrorism, we'll estab-
lished principle of German warfare
But the next few hours or the next
few days may reveal a concerted at
tack upon American transports or upon
American or Allied supply ships and
show the full aim of German naval
strategy.
All that is necessary is for Germany
to constantly send submarines to Amer
lean waters, forcing the Allies to con-
voy all American transports and alf
supply ships in both directions all the
way across the Atlantic. There is rea-
son to believe that since the sinking of
the President Lincoln American trans
ports have been conveyed throughout in
both directions, so that the full effect
of a larger range of German U-boat ac-
tivities has been already felt. so far as
troopships are concerned Upon sup

The German offensive has been
brought to a halt.
Whatever slight gains the foe made

vanceS.
A new battle developed Sunday
night and yesterday between the
Olsne and Ourcq rivers, on the
northern half of the west side of
the Marine salient, and at latest
reports was raging with the
greatest fury.
Fresh German divisions threw
themselves forward impetuously.
The defenders maintained their
positions and in a brilliant coun-
ter attack recaptured the village
of Faverolles, southwest of Sois-
sons. Mount Choisy was retaken
for the fifth time. West of Sois-
sons the enemy appears to have
taken some territory.
Sunday night, it is now learned, the
Germans made a determined at
tempt to advance on Paris from
the tip of their salient. Two
strong columns advanced, one on
each side of the highway, which
runs to the capital, from Chateau
Thierry, on the Marine. In a
furious struggle the French
brought the enemy to complete
stop just east of the village of
Bouresches, four miles northwest
of Chateau Thierry. Here the
foe now stands, with Paris forty
two miles away in an air line.
On the east side Of the salient and
around Rheims there has been
hard fighting, but no essential
change in the line.
The German losses are becoming in
creasingly severe. The Prussian
Guards Division has had to be
withdrawn on account of the thin
ming of the ranks. The foe no
longer can progress by "infiltra-
tion," or shifting small bodies
through holes in the Allied line,
but must attack in masses.
The bulk Of the hostile offensive
forces are grouped near Scissors,
on the west side of the salient,
and observers look for hard fight
ing there to continue some TIME.
1t is thought by many, however,
that the enemy will now try
simply to hold his gains and pre-
pare for a great new stroke else
where, probably toward Amiens.
Leading Paris newspapers expect
Foch to deliver heavy counter
offensive stroke soon.
The Allied troops are in high
spirits, believing that they now
have the situation we'll in hand.

in her close-fitting gown, she made
strong carnal appeal to him, but there
was between them, too, a close bond
of the spirit. He made no apologies,
no explanation.
Presently she turned and looked at
him. Only the deeper color beneath
her eyes betrayed any excitement.
Sunless I'm bad prophet you'll get
the answer you want when Sheba
comes back, Colby"
He thought her reply to his indis.
erection superb. 1t admitted COM
plicity, reproached, warned and at the
same time ignored. Never before had
she called him by his given name. He
took it as a token of forgiveness and
remuneration.
Why was it not Genevieve Mallory
that he wanted to marry? The mine
owner carried with him back to his
office a setse of the futile irony Of
life. A score of men would have liked
to marry Mrs. Mallory. She had all
the sophisticated graces of life and
much of the natural charm of an IN
usually attractive personality. He had
only to speak the word to win her, and
his fancy had flown in pursuit of a lit
tie Puritan with no knowledge of the
world.
In front of the Seattle & Kusiak EN-
pOrium the Scotsman stopped. A lit
tie man who had his back to him was
horooininn for a Of hr1c Tho
man turned, and Macdonald recognized
him.
"Hello, Gid. Aren't you off your
usual beat bit?" he asked.
The little miner looked him over i'm
pudently. "Well-wellI If it amt the
big mogul himself-and wantin' to
know if I've got permission to travel
off the reservation"
81 reckon you travel where you want
to, Gid-same as I DO"
"Maybeso. I shouldn't wonder If
you'd find out quite soon enough what
I'm doing here. You never can tell"
the old man retorted with a manner
that concealed volumes.
Those who were present remembered
the words and in the light of what took
place later thought them significant.
anyhow, it is quite a social event
for Kusiak," Macdonald suggested
with smile Of irony.
Without more words Holt turned
back to his bargaining. The big Scots
man went on his way, remembered
that he wanted to see the cashier of
the bank which he controlled, and
promptly forgot that old Gid existed.
The old man concluded his purchase
and drove up to the hotel behind one
of the best dog teams in Alaska.

'No. Give the girl time. Catch her

Her scarlet lips, the long, unbroken
lines of the sinuous, Opulent body, the
challenge of the smoldering eyes, the
warmth of her laughter, all invited him
to forget the charms of other women.
The faint feminine perfume of her was
waited to his brain. He felt besieg-

Stepping behind the chair in which
she sat, he tilted back the head of lus-

kissed her on the lips.
For a moment she gave herself to
his embrace, then pushed him back,
rose, and walked across the room to a

the miner complacently.
He had a right to be proud of the
team. 1t was a famous one even in
the North. 1t had run second for two
years in the Alaska sweepstakes to
Macdonald's great Siberian wolf
hounds. The leader, Butch, was the
hero of a dozen races and hundred
savage fights.
"What in Halifax do you want with
the team?" asked Elliot, surprised.
"The whole outfit must have cost a
small fortune"
"Some dust" admitted Gideon proud
". He winked mysteriously at Cor

to do with it."
"How?"
The miner beckoned Elliot closed
and whispered in his ear.
