With the American Army in France,
June 10.-Attacks by the Germans in
the Marine sector have again been re-
pulsed by the Americans, who inflict-
ed heavy losses on the enemy. The
French repulsed two attacks against
Hill 204, west of Chateau Thierry, the
first at 10 o'clock Saturday night, and
the second at 3 o'clock Sunday morn
ing. French troops captured q wood
south of Buzziares. A new German
division, the Fifth Grenadier Guards,
was identified by the Americans.
Washington, June 10.-The Ameri-
can steamer Pinar del Rio was sunk
by a German submarine seventy miles
off the coast of Maryland Saturday
morning. One of her boats, with the
captain and seventeen members of the
crew, is missing; another, with Chief
Mate Orkes and fifteen men, landed
at the Manteo life station on the
North Carolina coast, about fifty-five
miles below Norfolk, Va, it is an
nounced from Norfolk. A brief dis
patch to the Navy Department an
nouncing the sinking did not say
whether the ship was shelled or tor
pedoed. Hope is held that the miss
ing boa has been picked up by some
passing vessel or will urn up at some
point along the coast. Until last night
the raiders had not been reported as
showing themselves since the Nor
wegian steamer Vinland was sunk
off the Virginia capes last Wednes-
day.
The armies Of the crown prince of
Bavaria are again hitting the allied
line in a new offensive, with Paris ap-
parently their objective.
Between Montdidier and Noyon,
over a front of about twenty miles,
preceded by a heavy b~ombardment
with shells and noxious gases. the en-
emy's initial evidently has
in view the bending back of the allied
front toward the towno ( st. Just on
the northern wing and toward the rail
road junction of Compeigne on the
southern flank, getting astride the
DISC river and driving southwest to-
yard the French capital.
The French troops are resisting the
impact with their usual valor, but the
Germans on their right and in the GEN.
ter have bee able to penetrate the
line for distances ranging from two
thirds of a mile south of Montdidier to
relatively two and a half miles at
Ressons-Sur-Matz, in the center.
Thence to Noyon, however, the allied
line is holding strongly.
II success should rest with the enemy
on the q battle front 1t might badly
affect the stability of the line of the
defenders from the Disc to the Marine
and compel a falling back westward
from the Disc to the region of the
Marine northwest of Chateau Thierry
In order to straighten u the dGep
salient that would then project east
ward, with the Scissors sector as its
apex.
The allied commanders, 1t is assert
ed, were not taken unawares by the
new offensive. Comparative quiet pre-
walls in the region of the Marine and

Associated Press Summary.-To the northwest of St. Quentin, the British are fighting in open country behind the Hindenburg line and are making very good use of their tanks against the enemy. Since last Mon day, the British have advanced a distance of five miles on the sector of the battlefront, from Lens north- wards.
 From Rheims to Argonne, the Allies continue to bend back the German Hanks in spite of a very stubborn resistance. A breach was driven through the German de- lenses south of Deaurevoir, along a five mile front, where the resist ance of the Germans was very bit ter. British cavalry and tanks are now pouring through the breaches made.

Americsn Ca-Co Boat In Supply Service Goes to Bottom As
 Result of Collision.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Advices received by the navy department this morning state that the American cargo carrier Herman Frasch, a small vessel engaged in the over seas supply service, was sunk this week as the result of a collision with another vessel.
 The fact that fifty members of the crew lost their lives, it is be- lieved that the collision occurred either at night or during a heavy fog, rendering rescue work difficult. The department has requested full report of the accident.

DAMAGES
 4. [. [. LAUNCH

Shortly before the steamer Alaska sailed and while she was hooking onto the barges Idaho and Arizona to take them in tow, one of the barges swung in with the current and ram ming the Commission launch Sun flower, forcing her toward the bank. When the barge finally cleared the Sunflower it was found that the barge had stove in one side of the boat The Sunflower, which leaked badly after the contact, filled slowly and sank in the shallow water.
 The extent of the actual damage done is not known, but it is ex- pected that a thorough examination and inquiry into the accident will be held today. It is thought that the damage sustained by the Sunflower will necessitate her reconstruction to some extent before she will be able to take the water again.

LIBERTY BONDS SELLING WELL

The sum of s11,S50 was derived from the sale of Fourth Liberty Loan bonds at the office of the special disbursing agent up to last night. The N. c. company sold s5,0OO worth of the bonds, bring ing the total amount of the bonds sold at these two places up to last night, to s16,S50.
 Mrs. Carl Schmidt's committee, composed of Mesdames F. D. Browne, J. C. Van Orsdel and E. R. Brown, have not been heard from yet, but it is thought that they have sold quite a considerable number of bonds.
 Mrs. Carl Schmidt was appointed chairman of the Woman's committee by the head of a similar committee at Fairbanks, and the impression that her sales will be creditel to Fairbanks seems to be entertained. All of the moneys collected from the sale of bonds by Mrs. Schmidt and her committee will be turned in to the office of the special disbursing agent and will be credited against Nenana's quota.

 The ships of the combined navies poured in a terrific hall of shot and shell and succeeded in com pletely levelling all of the fortifi- cations and destroying much of the material that had been landed there for the use of the Austrian army operating on the Albanian front.
 The enemy warships opposing the Allied squadron were destroyed dur ing the engagement, which is re- ported to have been furious while il. lasted.

Spread of Spanish Influenza Among Troops In Training Slows
 Down Movement.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Provost Marshal General Crowder is authori- ty for the statement that the move ment of troops overseas has received a temporary setback owing to the presence of Spanish influenza at several of the camps and canton ments throughout the States. The delay is not regarded as serious, however, officials of the depart ment being hopeful of stamping out the epidemic at an early date. The statement merely says that shipments are to be retarded somewhat in the near future, as it is the intention of the department to hold back all men who have been exposed to the disease or who show the slightest symptoms. The men overseas will not be given the opportunity to con- tract the disease if the department can prevent it.
 The number of American troops abroad is now 1,SO0,OOO. Whether or not the number will reach the two million mark before the end of the present month will depend en- tirely upon. the progress made in checking the spread of the epidemic
