AME ER|CANS CARRY
OUT DARING RAID
ON HUN TRENCHES


With the American Army in France,
June 20 (by the Associated Press.) -
At dawn this morning the American
troops stormed German trenches and
machine gun nests in front of Cantig-
n.y. in the Montdidier district. Those
of the German garrison who remained
to fight and carry out their orders to
hold positions at any cost, were killed
by rifle and machine gun fire and
bayonet.
The Americans also took prisoners.
The American artillery put down a
heavy box barrage on the rear of the
enemy positions. A few minutes later
the infantry swarmed over the top
and rushed the trenches. Some of the
Germans had tried to escape through
the barrage, crashing to their rear,
but few of them got through, for
numerous German dead were found
later.
Prisoners captured declare that
they had orders to hold on at all costs,
and this was apparent by the desper-
ate manner in which they fought. The
battle was short but deadly, for the
enemy positions were swept clean of
Germans The official report says that
a great many Germans were killed.
One machine gun nest containing
eight men. which had been sprinkling
Cantigny for some days. was blown up
by direct hit from a trench mortar
bomb.

Paris. June 20-If preparations
already under way may be taken as
a criterion, the coming Fourth of
July may be celebrated by the
French in a manner which Is unpre-

ber of the chamber of deputies has

1.-THE Fourth of july is as much
a French holiday as American. 1t is
a world holiday France must not
content itself with a few official
manifestations The whole people of
France must celebrate. All the
houses in Paris and the provinces
must be decorated with French and
American flags. PROFESSIONS must be
organized in Paris. Flowers must be
deposited before the statute of Wash
ington and the American flag must
be raised at the same hour in all
cities, towns and Villages of France.
In all the schools at the same
moment, the teachers should explain
the meaning of the celebration and
the reasons why France and America
should remain united forever
LET us celebrate July Fourth,
which in 1875 saw the birth of
American liberty and one of the
noblest nations Of the world"

Washington, June 20.-Japanese IN
tervention in Russia and activity OF
German agents in Mexico trying te
foment disturbances in this country
so as to retard prosecution of the wat
were discussed in the senate today
during a debate precipitated by Sena-
tor sherman of Illinois, republican.
Senator Sherman said Japan is
anxious to enter Siberia because OF
the menace that a Germanized Russia
would be to her, and desires American
and allied aid because she cannot un-
dertake the expedition alone.
1T is well understood" the sena-
tor declared, that the United States
opposes action by Japan. Great Bri-
tain and France favor it. We must
trust Japan and ask her to attack the
government that menaces her by max
ing a drive through Asia. The admin
istration and the senate must take the
responsibility for further delay"
Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska,
chairman of the senate foreign rela-
tions committee, in reply, said
1T is great mistake to give out
the impression that Japan wishes to
intervene" He declared that Japan is
no more anxious to invade Russia than
is the United States or any one of the
allied governments, and added that he
doubted that Japan would want to go
In even with American and alltPd all
Hitchcock Correct?
Senator King of Utah, democrat,
told the senate that he knew from Of
ficial sources that Senator Hitchcock
was correct and that -four weeks ago
Japan was opposed to sending an eX-
pedition unless for her own protec-
ton, and that she was not then con-
vinccd that military expedition
would be to her advantage"
Discussing German agents In Mex
leo, Senator Sherman said vigorous
steps should be taken against disturb
ing elements in this country who CO.
operating with like groups in Mexico,
are planning violence in America at
the instigaton of German agents.
German officials and military officers,
he said, enjoy close relations with Car
rama officials.
Warning against what he termed
more "watchful waiting" in Russia
and Mexico, Senator Sherman said
he desired to awaken house opposition
to the necessity of opposing the effort
of the Russian bolshevik government
to secure recognition by the United
States. The American government, he
added, may be asked within forty
eight hours to recognize a bolsheviB
ambassador from Russia.

An Atlantic Port. June 20-An
American steamer arriving here to-
day from a Central American port
reported that at 4 p. M yesterday
afternoon, 1S0 to 200 miles south Of
Sandy Hook. she sighted a submarine
and was pursued by the U-boat. This
is the first report of the appearance
of a German raider so far north since
ships were sunk by submarine at
'tacks off the Jersey Coast in the lat
ter part of May.
The captain said, that he put on
fun speed. zigzagged and escaped
by outdistancing the U-boat. His Ship
carried 81 passengers.
The fact that the American steam
ship was armed probably prevented
her from being held up and sunk by
the U-boat, which came to the sur
face within half mile of the steam
ship. The navy gun crew prepared
to fire but the submarine almost in
stantly submerged.
The ship ran all night with lights
out, life boats swung and passengers
wearing life belts.
