MANHOOD RESERVES IF GERMANS ARE RAPIDLY DECLINING
Observers Expect Enemy Soon to Turn Attention to Amiens and the Chan
 nel Ports

French Headquarters in France. via Ottawa, June 10.-The enemys principal progress yesterday was along the course of the Matz river. His first objective was probably to reach the Disc at Mont Macq and outfiank the whole French salient north of the Disc. This might result in an allied withdrawal to the south bank.
 If the cuemy's objective be Paris he will naturally thrust tentacle down the Disc valley and another westward in this way encircle the vast mass of the Aigle. Conreigne and Viliers-Cotterets forests. These have been found impreg- nable 10 frontal attack and the enemy probably intends to pass north and south of theih. bringing the tentacles together
 This plan seems ambitious and i'm possible of accomplishment and it ap- pears probable that, as soon as this is realized the enemys efforts probably will be directed at Amiens or toward Calais
 In the meantime, however, the German battalions are being depleted in the fighting from Noyon to Chateau Thierfy and from Nerneuil to Rheims. His ret serves of manhood are declining. Gut Of .J0 prisoners taken in the first days Of June more than one-fourth belonged to the 1913 class and the class of 1920 made it's appearance on the battlefield among the prisoners captured at Bligny by the British, considerab ble portion of them being lads of that class.

They also asserted that after their vessel was sent down by gunfire. the submcrsihIc sank two American sail ing vessels.
 Walter B. Burrows, first assistant engineer of the Pinar Del Rio, de- scribed the craft. aceon paHying the submarine as a vessel of about 6000 gross tons. with a single, funnel amid i ships. She was painted grey aGd stood | some two or three miles in the offing while the submarine sank the Rio. ] When the American craft went down, l the submarine signaled the vessel in 1 international code Follow me-" and the U-boat and Ter consort steamed away.
 According to the survivors. the first of the sailing craft attacked by the submarine after she had destroyed the Rio was a ship. while the second was a schooner. They knew nothing as to the fate of the two crews, but assumed that the men were allowed to take to the small boats as were the cartain and 33 men or the Rios crew. William F. Clark of the naval re- serves, who said he was aboard the
 Rio in training for service as an of ficer on merchant vessel. asserted that the submarine fired six shots at the Rio before the American craft fired the captain put on all steam in the hope of making port and escapna the enemy but the submarine proved
 too speedy. The crew had taken to the boats before the submarine arrived alongside.
 Both Burrows and Clark said the submarine was about 250 feet long with what appeared to be about six inch calibre rifles mounted fore and aft. The U-boat, they said was paint ed a light gray and appeared to be weather and seaworn.

NIGHT RESTAURANTS
 MAY BE CLOSED
No Lack of Trade, But Inability to Keep Competent Help Given
 as Cause

The traditional "pail' of the factory worker may become a common sight in the hands of Birmingham's "owls'' or night workers, if the movement which is on foot in Birmingham, to close the all-night restaurants is carried out as it now seems to be planned. Apparently the movement originated among the restau- rant men themselves. and it may be in the near future that after the midnight hour, or perhaps 1 o'clock. one may look in vain over the city for place to shake the bangs of hunger
 According to the restaurant men it is no dearth of trade that has prompted the change, but the inability to get men to supply that trade. Statements could not be obtained from all of the proprie- tors last night, but the rumor seems to be authentic.
 It is expected that some definite state ment will be made by the restaurant men today and it may be possible that this move, which would not only inconveni- ence but actually work a hardship on many who depend upon these places for meals during these hours, may be ayerted.
