many SMALL
SMACkS ARE
SUB VICTIMS
Play Havoc Amongst Fishing
Fleet Off Georges Bank;
Toll Is Near
Score
BY Associated Press.

An Atlantic Port, Aug. IL.
The number, of fishing YES
sells destroyed by a German
submarine in it's raid on the
fleet off Georges bank last Sat-
urday night was nearer a score
than the nine already reported,
according to men from one of
the vessels brought here today.
Andrew St. Croix, mate of the Kate
Palmer, says from the crosstrees of
the vessel he saw the sinking of seven
other schooners by bombs and that
before the submarine came into view
he had counted II other explosions
at intervals of Is minutes or half an
hour. Reckoning that one bomb was
used for each vessel the mate be-
lieves the II bombs represented the
sinking of that many vessels. The
submarine did not use its guns as far
as he observed.
According to the mate there were
from Is to 80 sword fishing vessels
operating on the banks, and the great
er number were sunk. He estimated
that at least 40 boat loads of men
were set adrift on the banks as re-
suit of the raid. St. Croix and his
two companions who were brought
here were picked up by motor boat
after they had rowed and sailed about
$50 miles.
Search is Hampered.
Search for the dories of the fish
ing craft was hampered by thick
fog. The three men of the Kate
Palmer were the only ones to reach
this port. Capt. Edward Russell and
others Of the Paln1er's crew were
landed elsewhere.
Sinking of the British steamer Pen
istone of 4,139 gross tons. and the
Swedish steamer Sydland, of 3,03l
gross tons, in New England waters
near where 10 fishing smacks were
destroyed Sunday also was reported
to the Navy department during the
DAY. The former was torpedoed
Sunday with the fate of her crew
still undetermined, while the latter
was destroyed by bombs August g.,
and her crew later rescued by pass
ing ships.
Still another dispatch said that
several survivors of the schooner ka-
tie Palmer landed at New Bedford,
Mass, reported that they had been
taken aboard the submarine, the COM
mander of which boasted that he was
equipped to remain in American wa
ters for six months il he desired"

Street Railway Must Get
Up Early TO Beat Detroit

Detroit, Aug. 13.-At one minute
past midnight this morning the city
of Detroit, through it's corporation
counsel, secured a circuit court in
junction against the Detroit United
Railways company, preventing that
company from evading the newly en-
acted ordinance which became effec-
tive at midnight and provides for a
scent fare on all city lines.
The city's action forestalled the an
nounced intention of the traction COM
pany to secure an Injunction in fed
eral court against the operation of the
ordinance. The attempt of the co-l-
pany to collect 6-cent fares which be-
gan Saturday led to the refusal OF
hundreds of passengers to pay the
increased sum and resulted in rioting
and the damaging of several cars.

Anna Held was born In Paris in

Although the Germans are
employing fresh forces Of re.
serves in efforts to hold back
the allied troops who are press
ing them from the region Of the
Somme to the Oise, the Ameri.
can, British and French armies
continue to make progress.
Monday witnessed gains of
ground at various points along
the battle front Of high i'm
"portance for the further prose-
cution of the endeavors Of the
allies to drive out the Germans
from the old Amiens- Mont
didier sector.
After an extremely bitter
contest the American and Brit
ish have gained a foothold in
the important little town Of
Bray-Sur-Somme, on the north
ern bank of the Somme.
A short distance across the river
to the south the British have taken
Proyart and midway OF the line have
pressed on to the east Of Fouques-
court in maneuver which has re-
suited in the further outfanking OF
Chaulnes from the south and of Rove
from the north.
Curry Is Captured.
On their part the French in tic
rolling country Immediately north OF
the Disc river have captured Curry. a
position of great strateEic value.
lying southwest of Lassigny,s and at
several other points southward TO the
region of the Disc have advanced
their line further toward Noyon.
In Mondays fighting hundreds Of
additional Germans were made pris-
oners and the enemy also lost heavily
in men killed or wounded. Unofficial
reports give the number of Germans
captured during the present offensive
as in the neighborhood of 10000.
The Germans at last accounts were
still throwing reinforcements to the
east OF the road running through
Chaulnes, Roye and Noyon, the pas
sage of which by the allies would
seriously menace all the German
forces inside the pocket formed by the
Somme on the north and east and the
Disc south. Not alone are the allies
endeavoring to press their advantage
by frontal attacks, but they have
drawn up to their back lines guns of
medium and heavy calibers and witt,
these they are heavily shelling the
areas.
Is Important Blow.
Seemingly the advances by the
French troops on the southern part
of the line cannot but have an ex-
tremely important effect on the pres
ent battle. The hill positions they
have gained not alone dominate the
Oise valley running northeastward to
Noyon but around Lassigny also give
them sweep of the plains south Of
Roye.
Aside from the Amiens- Montdidier
sector little fighting has taken place
on any of the fronts. Along the
Vesle the Germans again have deliv-
cred violent counter attacks against
the Americans and French who are
holding ground on the north bank of
the stream. AS on previous occa-
sions when the enemy attempted to
dislodge the allied troops the counter
attacks failed
British aircraft have brought down
German airship off the coast Of
Holland, according to the annoLnce-

With the British Army in
France, Aug. 12.-The British
guns are hammering Chaulnes
while cannon of larger caliber
are coming up all the time and
drenching the enemy rear with
steel. They are also pounding
away at the bridges across the
Somme at Bethencourt.
The shelling of the bridges
here is a serious matter for the
enemy as bombs from the air
are continually being dropped
by British airplanes from a low
altitude at the bridges in the
Peronne district. This bomb
ing has been going on day and
night since the battle began,
forcing the Germans to divert
their transport, so that the gen.
eral movement was southeast.
With the comparatively small force
of Americans there has been no real
heavy fighting today.
Allies Meet Checks.
AT many places along the new front.
especially just south of the Somme,
the Germans are occupying the old
line dugouts built by the French
more than two years ago. The Ger
mans have concentrated artillery at
many places and today are sending in
more shells than on any day since
the battle began. Lihons was heav-
lily shelled.
A party of cavalry charging down
the Roye road ran into the cross fire
of large German pill boxes studded
with machine guns just this side of
Roye and received check, but the
Germans who happened to get the
opportunity to do this execution paid
the extreme penalty later.
Today the resistance by the enemy
has been stiffening progressively but
his troops appear to be nervous and
apprehensive ofswhat the future holds
for them and what the allies intend
to do. In order to feel out the allied
forces it is expected that further

U-BOATS ARE
INCREASED AND
MADE BETTER
German Minister of Navy
Says Number is Increased
and Quality Bettered.

Amsterdam. July s.-German sub
marines are increasing both in num-
Der and quality. according to a de-
claration made by Vice Admiral Won
Capelle, minister of the navy, in the
debate on the third reading of the
naval estimates in the reichstag. He
asserted that reports of the U-boat
losses have been exaggerated by the
entente allies.
Won Capelle's statement was made
in response to a reference by a deputy
of the center to the assertion of the
French under-secretary of the navy
that two-thirds Of the German
U-boats had been sunk while twice
the number which Germany is able
to build also are being destroyed.
These figures are incorrect" said
Admiral Won Capelle, las is also the
recent statement by the British min
lister of marine that since January
last the number sunk exceeded new
construction. The facts are quite the
reverse. All reports about U-boat
losses spread by the enemy are ex-
aggerated. AS far as the number and
quality Of our U-boats are concerned
our weapon is increasing in strength"
