report that the liner was sunk after a
twenty-four hour fight with subma-
rines.
No passengers were lost and only
ten of the crew were Killed Several
other torpedoes were fired but only
two of the missiles were effective.
The story Of the figne between the
German submarine and the Justicia,
If it could be told, would make one of
the finest stories in the annals OF the
anti-submarine warfarN.
Nothing which has occurred in con-
nection with the sinking of the form
er White Star liner gives navy men
any cause for misgivings over the sub
marine war. The defensive measures
and methods showed up to excellent
advantage and indicate that the en-
tente naval forces can always be
counted on to make the enemy pay
dearly for every attempt he makes.

ALLIES PUSH FORWARD IN
FACE DETERMINED RESISTANCE

Paris, July. 24.-Each days opera
tions bring further proof OF the COM
pleteness with which the genius OF
General Foch has turned the tables on
the Germans. Instead OF slowing down
to condition OF what. has been called
stabilization as the general public
from experience expected, the allies
continue to push forward IN the face
of determined resistance by the Ger
mans who have had time to recover
from the first shock of surprise.
The enemy, according to reports,
now has 33 divisions In the battle
zone, 100000 men of which are In the
region north of the Marne- In the
opinion OF military observers the yio-
lent German resistance is due more to
political considerations, for 1t is to
the immediate interes. of General
Ludendorff from military, standpoint
TO straighten out his line without de-
lay.
General Foch holds the initiative
on all battle fronts and 1t is believed
it will take the Germans at least two
or three months to get up another
full dress offensive. Meanwhile the
American troops continue to land,
