SEARCH FOR SUBMARINE
 OFF THE CANADIAN COAST
Five Sailing Vessels Sunk Since Last Friday By
 German Pirate. OIL TANKER PUTS
 UP STIFF FIGHT Finally Sunk After Long Battle With Loss of Two
 of Her Crew.

A Canadian Atlantic Port, Aug. 6-Search was made in Canadian waters by govern ment vessels today for a Ger man submarine which since Friday, has destroyed five sail ing ships and the Standard Oil tanker Luz Blanca, sunk yes- terday after running fight 40 miles off the coast of Nova Scotia.
 Except in the case of the tanker, two of whose crew were killed by an explosion of a torpedo, all hands took to small boats and reached shore safely. Reports by officers of the sailing vessels attacked indicated that the U-boat had been away from homo waters many months. This was shown by the footing of the British schooner Dornfontein, from which the raider took aboard a six months stock of provisions and clothing. Other ships were forced to give up such stores as were desired by the enemy craft.
 The Uboat kept right after other victims from the moment it stopped the Dornfontein, a four-master, on her maiden voyage out of St. John, N. B., off Grand Manan, Friday morn. ing. The German commander did not waste torpedoes or bombs on the Britisher, which he set af1re, but the hulk later was picked up by fishing vessels and lowed to port.

They show how British seamen have met German craft and cunning with craft and cunning.
 Until this week the public has known nothing about the mystery ships, known in the navy as the @" ships, although several officers, not ably Captain Gordon Campbell, have been decorated for their services on these vessels. Details now can be made public as the Germans are be- coming aware through bitter experi- ence of the methods used against them.
 How woman and baby" account ed for "ULboat" Is told by the cor respondent. The submarine ordered a vessel 10 surrender and fired a few shells into her. The boats left the ship, leaving on board a woman who ran up and down the deck with a baby in her arms as if mad. The U-boat came alongside the vessel and the woman hurled the baby into the open hatch. The baby" exploded and blew out the bottom of thu submarine. The woman" was decorated with the Victoria Cross.

SOLDIERS CLUB
 WILL BE OPENED TOMORROW. NIGHT
Committee on Organization Plans for Informal Recep-
 tion of Enlisted Men.

Plans for the opening of the Sol- diers' and Sailors club at 4o2 Golden Hill street at o'clock tomorrow night were made by the committee on or ganzation, which met yesterday af- ternoon, and the general committee at it's meeting at the Bridgeport War bureau last night. The furnishing of the club is proceeding and tomorrow it is expected that everything will be in readiness to receive all soldiers and sailors in the uniform of the United States and it's allies.
 Lack of formality will mark the opening, but it is probable that there will be musical program and well come to men in the service who call to inspect the club and to enjoy it's hospitality. For the present there will be no canteen feature, but this will be ilo drawback as the five res taurants of the Star Lunch and the four of the Sheffield Lunch have made prices to soldiers and sailors that are about as low, if not lower than the committee could make without talk ing a chance of considerable loss.
 The Soldiers and Sailors club com mittee, consisting of Robert M. Flames, chairman, Mrs. E. N. Sperry, vice chairman, MT. and Mrs. E. W. Har- ral, MT. and Mrs. Walter B. Lashar, Mrs. Nathaniel W. Bishop, E. S.. Wolfe, Mrs. William E. Allen, Mrs. Jacob B. Klein, John G. Fitzgerald, Mrs. Howard Simpson. Mrs. James L.. McGovern, George N. Finklestone, Mrs. Roy Clark, Mrs. A. M. Cooper, Mrs Charles Ferry, Mrs. Mollie D. Ogren and Daniel J. Clifford, are very anxious that soldiers and sailors in uniform shall make the club their home and extend a most cordial invi- tation to such men to attend the opening and to enjoy its privileges thereafter

Paris by the enemy long range can- non was followed Monday night by an attempt by German airships to raid England. The hostile aircraft did not succeed in getting far inland. The bombardment of Paris continued to- day.
 American troops were among the Allied contingents landed at Arch angel, Russia, last week. The popu- lation received the expedition with cheers having risen against the Bol- shevil1t when it became known the Allies were coming. The Bolsheviki made only weak resistance.
 More than 120 persons are missing from the torpedoed ambulance trans port Warilda, sunk in the English channel Saturday by a German sub marine. Among the number are one American soldier and several women nurses. Most of the 650 survivors were sick and wounded soldiers. Off the north Atlantic coast enemy sub marines have made another victim in the sinking of the tank steamer Luz Blanca.

Around the ends of this sector of the battlefield there has been little activity, although 1t is from the reg ions of Rheims and Soissons that lanking movements will have to be launched. It is not improbable the Allied leader is waiting until his troops and guns in strong force reach the southern bank of the Vessel be- fore continuing operations against the Crown Prince.
 Except for occupying the ground given up by the Germans along the Ancre and west of the Avre, the AL lies have made no move against the enemy on these sectors. That the re- tirement from west of the Ancre was not an isolated move is shown by the withdrawals along the Avre and from the La Bassee canal in Flanders. In the north the Germans withdrew from the canal in the region of Pacaut wood, northwest of Bethune. This position marked the German farthest point west in the Lys salient. Else where on the western front there has been no activity of importance.
