same time the American artillery opened
fire. The men advanced behind the
barrage, while the guns pounded the
enemy lines and rear areas.
Engineers blew up the enemy en-
tanglements. The infantry swarmed
through the defences. where there was
fighting in which the Germans suffered
Losses.
Two prisoners were taken By the
Americans. One OF them attempted to
escape on the way across No Mans
Land and was killed by a Massachusetts
corporal.
Tho Americans penetrated the Ger

500 yards They found numbers Of
dead Germans who had been killed by

blew UP defensive works and dugouts.
The casualties on the American side
were insigniicant.

Word Of her sinking was flashed to

by Vice Admiral Sims. but no details
were given beyond the fact that she
remained af,oat an hour, from which It
is hoped that all on board were saved

ternoon, said:
The Navy Department has received
q despatch from Vice-Admiral Sims
stating that the United States steam
ship President Lincoln was torpedoed
at l0:&0 o'clock this morning and
sank an hour later. The vessel was
returning from Europe. No further
particulars have been received.
Reports OF other sinkings by C-boats
received unofficially here tonight indl-
cate that the C-boats may have opened a
desperate drive along the line frequently
predicted OF late. The Germans have
said they would centre attention on
American transports and cut of com
munication between the United States
and Europe. The attack on the Presi-
dent Lincoln may be the first blow struck
In a carefully planned campaign, opin-
ion in naval circles is unanimous that
the German efforts will be thwapted.
May Not Have Been Conveyed.
The fact that the President Lincoln
was as many as 500 miles from
tho coast OF France may mean
that the President Lincoln was with
out an effective convoy. 1t Is as
sumed here in the absence Of further
details. however. that she was not en-
tirely without a convoy. She was also
well equipped with lifeboats so that
navy officials would be surprised to hear
that there had been serious loss Of life.
The President Lincoln may have been
bringing homo wounded soldiers In addi-
tion to her crew. which Is additional
reason for the anxiety that Is felt. All
Of the transports are now manned by
naval crows.
That she was attacked so far from
the French coast makes 1t appear pos
sible In the opinion of naval officers that
she ran across ono Of the larger German
submarines. possibly one OF the latest
cruiser type. which carry hve inch guns.
Vice-Admiral Slms's brief despatch
makes It certain however that she was
sunk by a torpedo and not by gunfire.

(delayed) To-day Scissors. which was
hotly shelled all day Yesterday and
set fire In some places had been taken
by the enemy and then won back by
the French. and was finally taken a
second time by the Germans. in whose
hands the town remains this evening.
That is the incident Of the fighting OF
the last twenty-four hours. which will
be most discussed. although the town.
honestly. has no military Importance.
The last time went through Scissors
after the Somme battle had begun the
town was already badly knocked about
by the various shellings and bombings
that it had suffered. After yesterdays
bombardment and to-day's fierce hand to
hand fighting it can be nothing but
mass Of ruins.
DOgged Courage Of Allies.
One only gets faint idea OF the
dogged courage with which our allies
fought from street to street and from
house to house trying to keep II merely
by thinking Of the great inequality in
the numbers Of the attacking and defend.

100 men to take house held by twenty

for twenty men to storm a house de.
Tended by 100 Is feat that must call
for splendid lighting qualities and utter
disregard OF danger.
II the Germans had not had Ave times
as many men as the French they could
never have driven our allies from the
town In the first instance. Yet, when
the French counter attacked, they actu.
ally succeeded In winning the town back

Those are the conditions under which

vance. The divisions which held the
Chemin des Danes sector have been out
numbered by at least nve to ono As
French officer said to me II was like
trying to stop the sea with your hands
During the advance the Germans
moved forward in alternate rushes of
four companies to a line. each company
carrying four light machine guns, with
a NTH in reserve, besides which each
regiment had three machine gun COM
panies, armed with twelve machine guns
each and three companies of mine
throwers. But formidable as The arma-
ment Of portable weapons undoubtedly
was, II was not tho cause Of the German n
success. We were beaten by excess in
numbers. nothing else.
To-day our airmen report a great
amount OF movement behind the enemy
lines. They are clearly straining all Of
their resources to maintain numerical
superiority.
In front Of the line they have chosen

ATTACKS vON HERTLING.

Amsterdam, July 28.- Maximilian Hardin devotes practically the whole Iof today's Dir Zukunft to proving that Chancellor Von Hertling's charge against the allies that they want to annihilate Germany is un- true. Hardin quotes President Will sons Mount Vernon speech and A. U. Balfour's last House of Commons speech to show how bitter the en- vtente nations are against militarism, but they are ready to give the Ger man people fair chance. He com pares these speeches with those re- gently delivered either by the Ger man chancellor or various junkers in the Prussian upper house, where the demand for unlimited annexations is continually heard.
 He concludes by saying:
 ! Germany must begin to see clear ly on which side is the will to annex ations. Germany must begin to fight against this power in her midst
 power with which Germany her self long ago became disgusted."

Associated Press War Summary.)
 The tide of German invasion north of the Marne is fast ebbing. The fact of a general retreat in this re- zion by the Germans is not question: ed, and the only question of the mo- ment remaining to be cleared up is the location of the position where the enemy will turn at bay.
 The battle line now runs directly east from Ouchy Le Chateau to Fere- en- Tardenois, then crosses the Ourcq river and continues eastward until it reaches the Dormans- Rheims road northwest of Rheims mountain.
 There is every indication that the Germans have succeeded in extricat- ing themselves from the trap sprung by Foch, but there appears now no defensive position south of the Vesle river to which the Germans can re- tire and organize a resistance of al lied pressure.
