.KAISER'S GOLD CUP
 AWARDED ID YACHT
 IS MADE OF PEWTER
Huge Hoax Is Discovered When Cup Is Auctioned for Benefit of the
 Red Cross

New York, June s.-German proof of the saying that all is not gold that glitters, was forthcoming here today when the metal of zinc was sounded on her distress cymbal
 With the disclosure came the in- formation that the 'magnifcent cup" which the German Emperor awarded to the winner of the victor over his yacht racer in 1907 was not gold. and was not worth s5ooo as was announced at that time It was made of pewter with thin veneer of gold and was worth scarcely $40. The deception re- coiled against the Emperor during the vealed today as it was auctioned and reauctioned until it added s125,000 to the nations Mercy Fund.
 President Wilson was in the audi ence when the bullion of "gold' as a trophy bearing the Emperor's facsimile engraved on the side vas smashed with a hammer on the stage of the Metropolitan opera house here few weeks ago. Persons who had desired to see the cup broken, had paid s5 each to the Red Cross to get on the stage. The gold" remnants were later to have been sold for cash for the Red Cross, but the dealer to whom they were offered said they were pew ter trinkets, and he was not an all chemist.
 Wilson Marshalrs yacht Atlantic, won the race for which the cup was the prize.

GERMAN EFFORT IN VALLEY OF MARINE
 IS FADING AWAY
Enemy Seems Disheartened in this Sector and Ar tillery Replies Are
 Feeble

With the French Army in France, June s.-(By the Associated Press. ) The second Franco-American attack in the neiahborhood of veuilly-l la -Poterie and Bouresches, was a brilliant success to the allied forces. It was continued yesterday with an advance in the Chezy sector, further northwest on the line.
 The enemy seemed somewhat dis heartened, replying only feebly to the allied fire. Prisoners arriving at the rear in small patches appear to be thoroughly exhausted and depressed by the turn affairs are taking.
 Quite important advantages have been gained by the allies in the course of numerous small infantry engage ments during the past two days. The French, American and British troops have participated in these Sctions and the bag of prisoners is co . iderable.
 The tactical situation of the allies is improved by the recovering of a nun Der of dominant points. AS a general rule the great German effort in the valley of the Marne seems to be fading away as the enemy comes in contact
 5itn something approaching his num- bers.

 Formation

With the French Army in France June S.-(By the Associated Press The most severe among the minor bat ties fought recently in the Marne- Rheims region was in the vicinity of St. Euphraise and Champlatt, west ward from Rheims
 The GeramnS launched serious at tack here at dawn Thursday morning along four-mile front. They planned to pierce the allied lines to a depth of two and one-half miles, which would permit them to outflank Rheims noun. tain and thus capture the city. It would have reduced at the same time the salient held by the allies which en- dangers large part of the line
 The village and spur of Bligney fell into their hands when tthey came for ward in dense waves but the Britih i'm mediately counter attacked and took the spur. Simultaneously the French counter attacked and reached the out skirts of Bligney and on second at tempt today recaptured the vi|nge and re- established the line.

 Suddenly every light aboard went out Most of us thought something had hap pened to the ships dynamo, but several minutes went by and there was no i,n- provement A few of us went out on deck and asked a deck hand what was the trouble
 it is submarines 2
 That was a jolt. but it was nothing like tEe jolt we got few seconds later. when the captain appeared on deck
 Throw those cigars overheard and get inside, all of you, he ordered. and few minutes later rejoined us.
 "I don't want to be harsh.' he said, but it's my duty to warn you that all of us are in deadly peril Until fur ther notice you must keep clear of the decks. Any passenger found on deck will be taken into custody. If you men must smoke, I'll break a ships rule and allow you to smoke in here. And for Gods sake keep your nerve.'"
 Taking up the story at this point MT Gllroy said the women accepted the situation splendidly.
 About twilight on Thursday" he said, "the lookout sighted smoke on the horizon. Soon a large steamer ap peared in the offing We took her for a raider and steamed as fast as we could away from her. A few backward glances though showed us she had made the same mistake about us, for she was rapidly fading out of sight.
 The incident raised our spirits a bit, but they sank again a little later when we passed a pile of wreckage. What there was of it was new and bright. It must have been from a ves- sel recently sunk.
 Next morning we were told we were in the vicinity where the submarines were operating. The captain had not left the bridge since Wednesday night for longer than two minutes. Now he was glued to 1t. They deserve medals these officers.
 We did not sight any lifeboats. but we steered around several objects which might have been mines. At last we saw the coast looming larger and closer Nobody cheered but I think we Ill knew what it was to take a good. ong breath"

Ky the Associated Press

With the British Army in France, June s.-(By the Associated Press. ) Locrc- c-Hospice which the Germans cap tured on Wednesday night, was re- taken by the French yesterday They battled their way to this much-con- tested position and completely re- established their original line.
 The French have thus removed a more or less serious threat to the vil- lage Of Locre. which itself is an inn portant defense for Mont Rouge and other hills lying immediately to the west. The Hospice lies only about 500 yards southeast of Locre and is on rising ground. which is but slightly lower than the site of the village. The enemy has long coveted Locre and re- tention of the Hospice would give him good Jumping or place for another assault in the long list which he has delivered against the village.
 There were heavy bursts of shelItnp rom German guns at various points along the British front last night bnt' no unusual operations have been re- ported.

QUIET IN FLANDERS

In the Flanders sector. which has been quiet since the beginning of the attack along the Aisne, the Germans on Wednesday sought to improve their positions by capturing the Hospice at Locre. This point would give them :, starting point for an attack on the vp- lage of Locre. which is considered one of the keys to the allied positions along the hills behind the line sourh- west of Ypres. The French forces h this sector on Friday, however, at- lacked the enemy and drove him back to his former positions, and the allied line has been restored.
 There have been no engagements of notable character on the Italian. front. but in Macedonia the allies. par ticulariy the Greeks. have been con- tinuins their aggressive operations.
