LAUDS U. S. REGIMENT
CHICAGO TROOPS CITED BY GEN.
ERAL MARCH FOR VICTORY
Chief of Staff Says at No Point is
Enemy Within Fifty Miles of
Paris-ReViews Offensive.


Washington, Aug. 15.-fhe One Hun
dred and Thirty-first infantry of the
Thirty-third United States division has
been engaged in the fighting north of
the Somme and particularly in the re-
pulse of an enemy cOunter-attack at
Chipilly. General March said at his
semi-weekly conference with newspa-
per correspondents.
The One Hundred and Thirty-first
regiment is composed of Illinois Ma
tional Guardsmen and is attached to
the Sixty-siXth brigade of infantry In
the Thirty-third division, commanded
by Maj. Gen George Bel. The troops
were trained at Camp Logan. Tex.
1.-THE one Hundred and Thirty-first
regiment is the old First regiment of
the Illinois National Guard, with some
drafted men added. 1t is made up al
most exclusively of men from Chicago
and suburbs.]
General March briefly reviewed the
situation in the Picardy salient, where
the lines have now reached the general
position of the front in 1916, before
the Hindenburg withdrawal. At no
point is the enemy now within 80 miles
of Paris.
The Picardy salient has been trim
med away on q front of 90 miles to
maximum dep'n of 10 miles. the chief
of staff said, and the line on the Aisne-
Marne front has remained stationary.
American troops have recaptured Fis-
mette, on the north bank of the Vesle,
from which they were driven.
Discussing the work of the Twenty
eighth division, comprising Pennsylva-
mia Guardsmen, in the Aisne- Marine
salient, General March said the only
report upon its casualties received was
that 400 men had been hit during four
hours on July 30 in the advance to the
Vesle.
The Twenty-eighth division, General
March. said. was in positions near Der
mans on July 16 and participated in
the advance across the Ourcq river on
July g. when the attack against the
German lines attained its full momen-
tum and thrust the enemy back to the
Vesle. The Twenty-eighth was flanked
on one side by the Forty-second Grain
bow and on the other by the Third
regular division. Its position in the
line was between Sergy and Ron
cheres.
The work of the American troops
both on the French and British fronts,
General March said, continues to win
the highest praise from the allied COM
manders.

off Cape Cod.

An Atlantic Port. Aug. It-Seven
lives are believed to have been lost
when the American steamship FredeI.-
lex II. Kellogg was sunk by German
submarine off the New Jersey coast.
This information was received here
with the word that 80 members of the
crew of the vessel were rescued by the
steamship Huron of the Clyde line,
while northward bound.
The survivors of the Kellogg were in
open boats.
The Frederick r. Kellogg was a new
tank steamship of 1927 tons gross reg
lister, valued at more than $1,500,0O0.
Under command of Capt c. H. White,
it was on its way from Tampico. Mex,
to Boston, with cargo Of approx
mately 10000 barrels of crude oil. The
ship was owned by the Petroleum.
Transport company and was launched
a year ago this month at Oakland.

narrow margin, Capt. Clayton Morrl-
sey of the fisherman reported on, ar
rival here. Because of the fog Captain
Morrisey said he was able to escape
and warned other craft of the danger.
The raid is considered especially
daring in view of the fact that High
land Light guards the entrance to Bos-
ton harbor
The trawler was on her way to
Georges banks to fish when the sub
marine raider suddenly emerged from
the water about 100 yards away and
fired without warning, according to
stories of the captain and members of
the crew.
The fishing vessel being at the time
almost broadside to the U-boat offered
a good target. The captain immedi-
ately swung the steamer around until
her bow was headed toward the u
boat and ordered full steam ahead.
The U-boat submerged at once and
was not seen again.
