Petain's Men Advance On

SLIGHT REVERSE
Raig's Forces Lose Posi-
tions Captured In Sun
days Battle
(By Associated Press.)

Last night on the French front
was marked by another Of the sharp.
incisive operations by which the AL
lies are from day to day improving
their positions in anticipation Of the
renewal of the German offensive.
General Petain's troops on this oc-
casion drove in on a two-mile front
near Moulin Sous -Toutvent, be-
tween the Cise and the Aisne, and
penetrated the German lines to a
depth Of approximately half mile.
They took 22O prisoners in their ad-
vance.
The British front on the other
hand, witnessed a minor reverse for
Field Marshal Haig's fighters, who
were obliged to relinquish a large
part Of the ground they had gained
Sunday night in local operation
near Bouzincourt, north Of Albert
The Germans began on Monday,
desperate efforts to recapture the
valuable high ground here, from
which they had been forced, but
were then able only to gain a foot
ing in their old line. Last night they
renewed the effort with a furious
bombardment, then delivered an at
tack which gave them back the
greater portion OF their lost posi-
tions.
The French success in the Moulin
Sous -Toutvent operation was
achieved almost at the base Of the
Germant salient which projects to
the Marine, along the front to the
west of Soissons and on through the
American sector northwest OF Cha
teau Thierry.
The American troops on this
Marine front are holding On firmly
to their gains in the Vaux region.
The French official communique to-
day reports the checking Of a Ger
man counter attack in this area.
Both official and unofficial reports
agree that no impression has been
made by the Germans upon the
ground gained by the allies in the
recent fighting here.

FIRING A TORPEDO.
Process is Easy After Speed OF
Ship Has Been Determined.

If submarine is sighted anywhere
relatively to the ship between ,ooo ana
1000 yards, the ship should immediately
head for the U-boat, and the nearer the
submarine is To the ship the more I'M
mediate the attempt to ram the pirate
craft should be One reason for this Is
that is the U-boat is close 1t Is more
than likely that the torpedo has already
been fired. Ii is ut least fair to assume
that torpedo has been fired
Now German U-boat commander aims
his torpedo on n certain number of defi-
mite conditions, the course of the ship
and its speed being the most important
If he can make few quick observations
from his periscope to observe the course
and from his own speed Judge the speed
of the ship about to be attacked. he has
obtained practically all of the data neccs-
sary for him to launch a torpedo. On a
plotting board down in his boat he can
figure out almost exactly where the craft
he is about to attack will be in GER
tain number of minutes II will not be
necessary for HIM to rise TO the surface
again to see where his torpedo is to be
aimed. This plotting board works the
ann out with mathematical certainty,
and his prey by the noise that her screw
makes under water will confirm his ann
The torpedo can be released while the
U-boat is completely submerged, and 1T
need not rise to the surface at ALL but
may continue on it's way, when its sound
ing apparatus has told it that an ex-
plosion has occurred, sure information
that a hit has been registered. If there
is no explosion, then another torpedo
may be released Harwood koppcl, IN
