j. S. SUBMARINE UNDER
FIRE OF ALLIED SHIP
Mistaken for German U-Boat, Out
er Hull Is Pierced by
q Shell.

Mistaken evidently for the German
submersible which has been operat-
ing of the north Atlantic coast. an
American submarine of the latest
type was fired upon and slightly
damaged by an armed vessel in New
England waters last Tuesday. No one
aboard the \ubmarine was injured
and the craft reached port safely.
The Navy Departments announce
ment today did not reveal the iden-
tity or nationality of the armed YES
sci. but it was understood that it was
an allied transport.
Shell Did Not Explode.
uuoncial reports were that the
submarine had been running sub
merged, and came to the surface near
the armed ship. The latter opened
fire and had scored one hit before
the American craft made known It's
Identity. The shell penetrated the
outer hull Of the submersible, but oio

Had the shell exploded after entering
the outer hull. it was said. the subma-
rine probably would have been destroy

was not damaged and the submarine will

damaged outer hull plates can be re-
placed.
Not First Incident Of Kind.
This was the first incident Of its kind
to occur in American waters. so far as
has been announced. but it Is not the
first since the United States entered the
war. Last October the American gun
boat Nashville while on patrol duty in
the Mediterranean fired upon an Italian
submarine which failed to promptly
answer signals for Identification. One
man aboard the submarine was killed.

Gated by a story repeated from one
American unit, which pressed the en-
emy so vigorously for forty-eight
hours that the Germans retired with
out burying their dead. which is en-
tirely foreign to their usual method in
retreat.
At one point the headquarters of an
American unit was actually in oper-
alton in a previous German headquar-
ters within four hours after the de-
parture of the enemy. While the
commander sat in the yard debating
orders. despite the tumult of burst
ing shells and uproar of American
artillery fire, his staff officers were
carrying German dead out of the cell
lar, where he was about to establish
his sleeping quarters.

Made Untenable by o. S. Guns.

The American artillery shows evil
dence of high efficiency. The German
positions occupied by the American
advance show that the road and cross
roads in the neighborhood of German
staff positions or artillery positions
were made almost untenable by the
American guns.
German troop quarters give evidence
of hasty retreat, as large quantities
of equipment have been left behind.
German prisoners, however, were
quite "cocky" when brought in. They
did not know of the presence of large
American forces in France. They had
been informed that the submarines
had sunk hundreds of thousands of
American troops and would not be-
lieve that America had more than
100000 men in France.
When asked If they believed that
Germany would win the war, some
said the Germans knew that they
must win it 1t is evident that great
benefit would accrue from making
known to the German troops the full
truth concerning American activity in
the war.
The supreme allied command has
not employed the bulk of the reserves
in this action, and is ready at all
points to meet any new move by Gen.
fLudendorff. If. under these circum-
stances. the allies are able to force
the German army out of the Name
sons and Rheims, they will have
achieved a signal victory by putting
the Germans on the defensive in
France.
aggerate the present success. great
as it is. 1t tends to re-establish the
balance on this front which was up
set by the arrival of German troops
from the Russian front
No Decisive Action
No decisive action must be expected
from the present success. for the Ger
mans, like the allies, are still pre-
serving the body Of their reserves.
With the reserves held back on both
sides, it is yet too soon to Judge
whether the Marne salient will be
completely eliminated. With the in
creasing forces of Americans the
front in France will, however, offer
four salients where the allies may
attack from three sides, provided the
Germans are put on the defensive
and we assume the offensive.
For this purpose it behooves US to
use our influence to develop a success
full tactical and strategic system Of
offensive. 1t is necessary to make the
single command permanent here and
extend 1T to the Italian front, in spite
of the opposition of the military caste.
1t is one thing to check and defeat
the fifth German offensive this season
in battle of maneuvers where tie
troops are overdriven in an exhaustive
campaign; it is quite another thing TO
develop a successful offensive against
fortified positions.
Need of Coordination.
The danger is that the present sue
cess will blind us to the need of the
coordination of all our military and
political forces which are necessary
to victory, and this has so far only been
partially accomplished. Unity of war
aims is as yet a generalization, and
until it becomes a definite, concrete
reality unity of action will be spas
modic and defensive in character
Owing to historical and traditional
reasons and to the fact that America

bring about the desired result

MILCH COWS OF STATE SHOW
INCREASE IN PAST YEAR

Washington has 8 900 more milch
cows this year than it had in 1917,
and the value has increased from
$3.50 to $1,000 per head, accord
ing to estimates puDIIsned this week
by the United States Department Of
Agriculture.
Washington now has 266 900 cows.
An interesting feature of the report
is that in 1906. the state had but
10000 milch cows. and their value
was not over s32.50 head.
Although large numbers of milk
cows have been sold during the year,
these represent the inferior grade
COW, and indicate a tendency to sub
stitute better bred cattle in all ar
cas- of the state" says the report. "In
some of the largest herds west of the
Cascades and in portions of the coun-
ties of the southeast, there have been
decreases on account of high feed
prices. bat many smaller herds in all
portions of eastern Washington and
even west of the Cascades have in
creased the number of milk COWS by
the retention of better grade heifers
the past two years. which have n ,
matured and caused increases in II e
total number of milch cows in the
state as a whole. The largest increase
es of milk COWS have been in Chelan
Okanoga1 and the Big BEND counties.
Due to the sloughing off of inferior
grade milk cows the past few years,
the averabe price per head has in
creased slightly oyer last year III the

STATE SUES LINDEN ALIENS
FOR FORFEITURE OF LAND

On the ground that they are not
citizens of the United States, w. V.
Tanner, attorney general, mas started
suit against Aired Peterson and l.
Peterson and John Doe Peterson of
Lynden, and against Herman Peter
son for Lynden for the lo.lelture of
land located in Section "a, township
40, four miles from Lynden.
The complaint recites that the de-
PENDANTS are not citizens of the l.
nited States, that they have never
declared their intention of becoming
citizens, and that the lana in quest
ion was not acquired by inheritance,
under the foreclosure of any mort
gage, or in good faith in the ordinary
course of justice in the collection of
a debt.
The su4.s are believed to be based
upon the law that aliens cannot own
property in the state of Washington
and. it is said, will be followed by
other suits.
