U-Boat Keeps Out of Range
in Running Fight and Chase
After British Steamer Author

AN ATLANTIC PORT. June 15.-The
story of an all-day fight Thursday
with a German submarine off the Vir-
Rfnia coast was brought here by Capt.
George Aitldn Of the British steam
ship Author. He said the raider gave
up the chase seventy miles from the
Virginia capes. apparently fearing to
brave the coast patrol.
Capt. Aitkin, whose ship is one of
the few armed craft to be attacked by
the U-boats since they came to
American waters. said the German
showed no disposition to come within
range of his British gunners, much to
the Britishers' regret, although the
submarine trailed the vessel at long
range for hoursH Many shots were
fred without effect.
The U-boat trailed the Author. dodg-
ing, submerging. and hanging on WIN
wolf FOR twelve hours Well armed
and ready for a fight, the Author
stood the boat off until within the
safety zone of the Chesapeake en-
trance. Shortly after the chase be-
was best to keep at safe distance from
the Britisher. A number Of shots
were fred by the gunners on the Au-
thor and repeatedly long range depth
charges were dropped. Every time
the depth bombs shook the sea the
lJ-boat would submerge.
1t was not often that the submarine
permitted more than her periscope or

Allied Front Stiffened
by Americans, Mr.. Baker
Tells Memgers of House

| The stream of Americans which is
moving steadily to the front has re-
suited in a noticeable stiffening of the
entire allied line, members of the
House military committee were told
yesterday at their weekly conference
with War Department officials
1t was stated that the Germans ap-
parently had encountered greater nu-
merical strength than they had ex-
pected to oppose their third great
drive, and had suffered heavy losses
Maj. Gen. Hunter L. Liggett has been
selected to be corps commander of the
American troops in France when the
forces reach that strength, and to
command the first American field
army when it is organized. the legis-
lators were told.
Now Commands Field Forces.
That Gen. Liggett would be chosen
has been generally understood at the
War Department, but there has been
no announcement on the subject. He
commands the forces in the field now.
These forces, not including troops
brigaded with the British and French,
comprise two complete divisions, fully
equipped and operating under French
corps commanders.
Many interesting facts were given
the congressman about American ar
tillery at the front and other phases
of American participation in the fight
ing which must be treated as military
secrets.
Next German Move Predicted.
The present lull on the battle front
is only a lull, to be followed by
renewed and violent attack, in the
opinion of military observers here. 1t
is believed that the next German move
will be a direct attack upon their
real objective, a thrust at the British
forces about Amiens. with the chan
mel ports as the prize.
Belief has never wavered among
the majority of officers here that the
real purpose of the German general
STAN has been from the first to cut
the allied armies apart by drive
that would carry them to the chan.
mel: that, arrived at that goal, massed
attacks would be hurled against the
northern sector for the purpose of de-
stroying the British army, while q
strong defense was maintained
thrusts at Paris have been looked
upon as well planned and executed
feints designed to weaken the Amiens
front before the final effort should be
made there.
ON no other theory can these OBJ
servers explain the sequence of Ger
man operations in the great battle;
and on no other basis, they say. cap

that the Germans have gone further

were incorrect. He pointed out that

Germans now hold is eight miles

NOW USING GELATINE
AS EQQD CQNSERNER

DR.. Goudiss pays a remarkable trib.
ute to gelatine. He states that the use
OF gelatine in American homes has al.
most doubled in year. and is now a
million pounds a month.
A million pounds of gelatine makes
about 200 million servings. Used as
dessert 1t requires little sugar. Each
million pounds Of gelatine, used to dis
place other sorts Of desserts, will save
about ten million pounds of sugar and
some 2k million pounds Of flour.
To sweeten fresh fruit or to make
preserved fruit requires from three to
four times as much sugar as to make
an equal quantity of gelatine dessert.
Other forms Of desserts require both
sugar and -four
But geletine is also great saver OF
