The attack was witnessed by large crowds of natives and sum M mer visitors who had fIocked to the cape for the weekend, seeking re- lief from the heat wave. All ac- counts agreed that the submarines shooting was very bad. Her tor pedo work was no better. Accord ing to Captain Ainsiic of tf@ Lans- ford, she launched three torpedoes at the tug and all went wild.
 CAUSED ABATEMENT
 The attack occurred only few miles from the naval aviation sta ton at Chatham. Three seapIanes attacked the raider with bombs, according to Rear Admiral Spen- cer s. Wood, commander of the first naval district. The fire was returned, keeping the planes high. Finally, however, the U-boat sub- merged and was last observed heading south.
 Tonight the tug was still afloat an. it was thought it could be saved. Tn net result of the raid was the sinkin, of barges valued in the aggregate a $90,000, and the serious damaging of tug valued at $100,000, at the expendi

ture of three torpedoes. which il 4s estimated cost the German government a total of s45.000 and quantity oi ammunition.
 The appearance of the raider so near the shoals and tide rips of the cape and her subsequent actions caused amazement to the thousands of eye witnesses rather than consternation The natives of thescape could net ua- derstand why she should waste shells on fleet of barges returning to a coa port. It was reported, however, that the real prey sought by the under sea boat was large collier, north bound.
 Two colliers, the Arlington and the J. B. King, passed Orleans shortly be- fore the Perth Amboy was fired upon but both passed through the dange4 zone in safety.
 FOG HID U-BOAT
 A fog bank lying four miles of shore hid the U-boat from her ap- ching victims. The Perth Amboy steaming leisurely through the calm summer sea, was unaware of the pres ence of danger until deckhand sighted streak in the water shootine by the stern. Before he realized that 1t was torpedo two other missiles

The text of the statement reads:
 "The battle continues under fa- vorable conditions along the whole front between the Marne and the Aisnc. North of the Ourcq, driv- ing back the enemy, we have pro- gressed fighting in the region north of Villemontoire and on the south have advanced to the east of the general line of TiGny- Biily-Sur-Ourcq.
 "South of the Ourcq we made an important advance beyond Nefulls st. Front, occupying the heights east of La CrOix and Grisoiles.
 "Under the double pressure of the Franco-A forces be- tween the Ourcq and the Marne and the French units who crossed the river between FossOy and Char teves the Germans were driven back beyond the line of Bexu- St. Germain and Mont-St. Hete.

GREAT LIBERTY
 WHEAT HARVEST
 IN 1873 ASKED
Secretary Houston Issues National Programme Call
 ing for 45,OOO,OOO Acres Winter Wheat

Washington, July 2l.-A great Liberty wheat harvest in 1919 is asked of American farmers in a national growing programme issued today by Secretary Houston, after full consideration of the increasing needs for this essential food at home and in the allied nations.
 Not less than 45,OOO,O0O acres of winter wheat is called for in this falrs sowing, and Secretary Houston suggests that ap- proXimately 47,500,000 acres could be sown if conditions especially favorabl The larger acreage, it was pointed out, would better meet the estimated needs of the allied nations and the population ar home.
 From the minimum acreage called for, which is only about the average of the five years, 1913-17, it is estimated 636,- 000,00O bushels of winter wheat might be expected, and from the suggested larger acreage approximately 667, ,O0O, 600 bushels should be harvested. These production estimates are based upon an average yield of 157 bushels an acre and an abandonment of 10 per cent in the area sewn on account of winter kill.
 Definite acreages, both minimum and maximum, for each state have been worked out and campaign will be launched immediately by the department Of agriculture, state agricultural colleges and leading farmers throughout the country to have the farmers make good their state quotas Recommendations for the 1919 acreage of spring wheat and other spring crops and regarding live stock will be issued later by the depart ment Acreage of winter wheat suggested by the department for sowing this fall, by states, include:

lne Idcl was accepted Tn some quar- ters as indicating the Germans were un- dertaking to bring their campaign of .frightfulness'' directly home to America in the hope of shaking the morale of the nation. That this attempt would have no more success than the raid of last May and June was the firm conviction of official Washington
 WASHINGTON SURPRISED
 Officials plainly were surprised that the submersible should have attacked a tug and barges, as these vessels were with out military value and the monetary Boss comparatively small Some accepted sthe wastage of ammunition as carrying iout a programme of frightfuness, for upon no other ground could the subma- rlne commander justify such an attack.
 Reappearance of submarines in Amer ican waters at this time was not unex- pected after the finding of foreign made mines off the Long Island coast last week. The presence of the sea raider was not accepted by naval officials as proof that it was torpedo that sank the armed cruiser San Diego off Fire Is- land, New York, Friday, with a possible loss of 62 lives.
 Most officials still held to the theory that a mine had destroyed the cruiser. In their opinion the submarine strewei mines in the transatlantic ship lane east of New York in the hope of destroy ing transports bound to Europe with American troops. This method of under taking destruction of troop ships instead of by direct attack was believed to have been adopted by the Germans because of the risk of his own destruction by destroyers and other war craft conveying the transports, if he attacked them
 ONLY ONE SUB
 Thus far there has been nothing to indicate that more than one submarine is conducting the present raid. That of last May and June, however, was carried ! out by at least two submersibles. Steps to deai with the new raid already have been taken by the navy department and coast patrols and seaplanes are hunt ing out the submarine.

An attack from Chateau Thier- ry to Rheims began on Saturday. American forces captured Hill I03. north of Vaux. and advanced more than two Kilometres. At last ac- counts, they were holding their own against German resistance.
 Tho German retreat across the Marnc began on Friday under cov- CT of great smoke screen. At last accounts great hordes of Ger mans were continuing north. Or ganixed resistance has been met with far only at few places.
 The district south of the Marue and east of Chateau Thierry k entirely cleared of Germans. Two badly cut up regiments were left south of the Marne in the German retreat. Allied aviatOrs bombed the bridges across the river and their escape was impossible.

per cent more than sown last autumn and the maximum acreage is F per cent more. In some states where large in- crease of winter wheat acreage is sug- gested, it is planned correspondingly to reduce the spring wheat acreage. The department experts point out that winter wheat is a safer crop and produces a larger yield to the acre, so the exchange is desirable in sections where that is practicable The unusual weather condi- tions of the last two years are respon- sib!e for the increased acreage of spring wheat this year in some sections where winter wheat usually is more extensively grown.

ihe department tonight had little de- tailed information regarding the attacix on the barges and tug other than that three barges and the tug had been de- stroyed and that the crews landed at the Orleans. Mass, coast guard station. with one man from the tug seriouslv injured.
 DOUBT 400 FEET LONG
 Officials were inclined to doubt reports that the submarine was fo5 rect long. as no submarine of that size has hereto- fore been reported. There have been re- ports recently that the Germans wera building supersubmarines to be heavily armed and armored, but it is not believed even those vessels would have such a length. :"
 lhls was the first appearance of sub- mersioles in New England waters snce the United States entered the war. but peiore that the U-53 sank several vessels or the Massa chusetts coast after an bearing at Newport, R. I. The sub mersibles which visited this side of inc Atlantic last May and June operated be. tween New York and the Virginia capes and largely off the shores of Virginia and Maryland.
 All Of the 20 ships which were destroyed in American waters in that raid were hrst halted by the submarine and their crews permitted to seek safety in the small boats Eleven of those vessels were sailing craft and the other nine steam CTS. Two other vessels were sunk well out into the Atlantic, presumably by these submarines when they were home ward bound.
 The submarine which appeared today may be the same one that sank the Nor wegian ship Marosa 70o miles east of Cape Race. July ', and captured the Nor- wegian bark Manx King the day before. If so, she probably has been away from her base more than month In the previous raid, the U-boats appeared on May 25 off the coast of Virginia and were last heard from on June 14 off the Virginia capes. when they sank the Nor wegian bark Samoa and the Norwegian ship Kringsjaa.

GOVERNMENT SEEKING
VOLUNTEER EXPERTS

The following letter has just been
received from the national headquar-
tiers Of the United States public service
reserve and conveyed to L. E. Jones,
county director of the reserve
1--WE have just received a requisi-
ton from the fuel administration
which requires a large number of ex-
ports who will serve without pay, but
hwo will be reimbursed for actual
expenses.
The men required are such as might
be classed as engineers or experts in
the clay, lime, cement and glass in
dustries, to act as field inspectors to
check up the work being done in plants
and, where possible, one man will be
needed in each industry in most of
the districts, varying in proportion to
the extent of the industry. Some men
may be found who are expert in more
than one of these lines.
These lei will be asked to give up
to this service not more than two
days in a week, and where possible,
an effort will befnade to arrange with
present employers to continue their
salaries during the time they are alb
sent from their WI plants. The work
will also be so arranged by districts
that it will necessitate each man Wis
iting only those plants in his own
neighborhood.
We would like very much to furnish
as large a proportion of these men to
the fuel administration as we can,
trusting that no great difficulty will
be encountered in finding men compe-
tent to do this work, and who at the
same time can undertake it without
compensation. The fact that it must
be voluntary service somewhat in
creases the difficulties, of course; or
the other hand it should appeal to
class of men who might readily be
called experts"

IS REBUKED
BY DISTRICT JUDGE
JUDGE HURLY ROASTS MAN CHARGED WITH
MURDER WHEN JURY BRING IN LIGHT
CONVICTION OF MANSLAUGHTER- SEV.
ERAL CONVICTIONS IN PLENTYWOOD.

District Judge Hurry, a resident Of
Glasgow, has justly earned a reputa-
ton for honesty and uprightness on
the bench and is not slow in pointing
out what he thinks is q miscarriage
of justice as was evidenced at Plenty
wood last week when Judge Hurry de-
livered a scathing rebuke to "Tex"
Love against whom the jury had
brought in a verdict of manslaught-
er.
Love was charged with murder, it
being alleged that he, while q bar
tender in q Sheridan county saloon,
struck an old man over the head with
a "sap." The man died from the
effects Of the blow.
In passing sentence upon the con-
victed man, Judge Hurry said in part:
I'm passing sentence upon you I
want to say to you that you owe no
thanks to me for the light sentence
you are about to receive, but rather
may congratulate yourself for the
leniency with which the jury has dealt
with you.
"1n Sheridan county human life
seems to be the cheapest commodity
with which the courts have to deal.
I'm your ase the jury would have
been justified if they had e fit to
return a verdict of murder in the Sec
ond degree, but they have dealt len
iently with you and have found you
guilty of manslaughter only.
II am imposing upon you the sever
est penalty which / may, under the
law and the verdict Of the jury.
ut is the judgment and sentence
Of the court that you be confined in
the state penitentiary at Deer Lodge
Montana, at hard labor for q period
OF not less than five nor more than
ten years.. You are remanded to the
custody Of the sheriff for the carry
ing out of this sentence"
The next case on the calendar was
that Of Charles Evans who had been
bound over to the district court from
the justice court at Bainville on the
charge of having stolen and killed a
calf. The jury returned a verdict Of
guilty leaving the sentence to the
court. Evans up to the present time
has not been sentenced.

to the charge Of rape and was e n
