DOUBT
 SUB GAS ATTACK Theory That U-Boat Dis charged Gas-Laden Oil at Smiths Island Not
 Accepted

Washington. August 14.--Aithough final reports of the investigation into the "gas attack. on Smiths Island, North Caro- lina, last Saturday. have not yet reached the navy department there were strong intimations today that the "gas" was not from German submarine, as first re- ported. No explanation of the incident. however. has been offered and none prob ably will be until complete information is at hand. s
 It is unde rstood there is reason to be lieve no submarine was in the vicinity of the island at the time six men in the coast guard station and lighthouse were reported to have been overcome. The theory that a submarine had discharged gas-ladsn oil on those waters never was accepted by many naval experts and fishermen living in that vicinity have ln- sisted no submersible could have ap- preached close enough to the island to discharge gas that would have remained effective until the oil carrying 1t had drifted in with the tide.
 The only reports of further operations by the raiders now in American waters reaching the navy department today gave additional information regarding the tor- pedoing Of the oil tank steamer Frederick R. Kellogg. the name Of which was given in naval dispatches as Henry s. KellogK. Seven men of the crew who arc missing arc believed to have gone down with tho ship. which sank in five minutes

proach. Mir. Poole pointed out these acts occurred immediately following the solemn assurance given by Tchitcherin that all persons having diplomatic or consular character would be respected.
 DESTROYS RECORDS
 "Feeling there would be no assur- ances that the American consulate general would not be violated at any moment, he destroyed his code book and records. This, and the general sit- uation, made it impossible to carry on his functions and he accordingly asked the Swedish consul general to take over the protection of American inter ests' and at the same time to request facilities of the Soviet government for the immediate departure of the Ameri- can diplomatic and consular staff. The allied consuls were doing likewise.
 "All steps were being taken for the security of private American citizens who. had not been. molested so far. MT. Poole added the departure would prob ably, be by way of Petrograd and Stockholm. At the instance of the Swedish consul general. the German embassy had already recommended 10 the German government the issuance of the necessary safe conduct.
 "A fifth report stated Mir. Poole had received from Norman Armour, secre- tary of the American embassy, whom MT. Francis left behind at vologda, when he went to Archangel, a telc- gram which stated an assistant from kedroff. commissioner of the people, sad called to see him, and apparently representatives of other embassies on August 1. The emissary said he hal been instructed to ask the diplomats to go to Moscow as the Soviet authori- ties were unable to answer for their safety in Vologda. After expressing their thanks for the solicitude shown our ambassador and colleagues, re- ferred the agent of the Soviet to their express instructions from their ampas- sadors to remain in vologda for the protection of their nation and pointed out the fmpossibi1ity of going to Mos COW under any pretext whatever.
 "The American minister to Sweden has reported to the department of stato that he had been informed by the swedish foreign office that August 5. the Swedish consul general at Moscow took temporary charge of American. as we'll as English and Japanese in- tereStS,

 FRENCH MOVE FORWARD With the French Army in France. August H.-(By the Associated Press.) The Germans now are in Flemont, about a mile southeast of Lassigny, to which i they retired, following a new advance by the French. General Humbert's army
 moved forward two miles yesterday and took the St. Claude farm which makes the hold of the French on the southern part of the Thescourt plateau secure 1 At Plemont the Germans found posi- tions all ready to receive them and were able to offer strong resistance. The enemy took Plemont during the fighting early in June, and their old trenches there are still organized with wire en- Itanglements.
 l From Thiescourt plateau it would
 hardly appear that the French can ad- vance without artillery preparation IS
 the machine gun nests in this rough
 country cannot otherwise be dealt
 with effffectively. The German effort to
 hold the entire plateau and make use
 of the cover it afforded for counter at
 tacks, however. was rendered futile by lyesterday's advance. It would seem now
 that the Germans will be unable to de-
 bouch from it.
 1 The battle for Thiescourt area, how
 ever, is only small part of the oper- ation in progress. and developments in
 other parts of the line may modify the lsituation before the battle is reopened
 here
 l The Germans have had one advantage
 here. as elsewhere, in that they have
 been falling back upon their supplies. while the French have been forced to
 bring their supplies over a difficult
 country.
 l So far General Humbert's troops have
 had four days of constant fighting. full fly half of which has been spent In gas
 infected sectors. During all this hgt- ing it was the machine gun against the
 rifle. the Germans having comparatively flew infantrymen in the front line but
 being plenteously supplied with ma
 chine guns-virtually one for each man. and all ambushed.
 When the nests of quick nrers were
 discovered and move against them
 was begun, this move had to be in the I nature of an outfanking process which was trying work in this rough region. Besides holding the two important crests of St. Claude farm and Ecouvil- lien. the French are within 100 yards of
