DEsTRoYERs SEARCHING FOR
SUBMARINES THAT ATTACKED
UNARMED VESSELS.
French Steamer Attacked by Raiders
is Saved from Destruction by an
American Destroyer off the
Maryland Coast.

Washington. - Enemy submarines
still were operating off the American
coast on June 4. A French tank steam
err, the RadiOleine, first transatlantic
craft to be attacked by the raiders,
was saved from destruction at 9:3O
O'Clock Tuesday morning by an Amer
lean destroyer, sixty-five miles off the
Maryland coast.
The same destroyer found the coast
ing schooner Edward r. Baird, Jr,
sinking after having been bombed in
the same vicinity, making seven
schOOners and four steamers known
officially to have been sunk by the
raiders.
Announcement by the navy depart
ment of these facts, disclosed that the
raid in American waters had not ended
with Mondays tale of destruction, up
setting the theory that the raiders
probably were speeding hOmeward.
Coast patrol vessels had not acted on
theory. They now are closing in from
all directions on the scene of the
raiders last exploit, securing the sea
for further trace of enemy U-boats
as they come.
Secretary Daniels directed that the
brief report from the destroyer be
made public. The destroyer herself,

DEMAND is MADE FOR RELEASE

~ IN PRISON.
Secretary Lansing Reminds Germans
That There Are Number Of Their
Countrymen In the Land Of the
Free and They Should Go Slow.

WaShlngtOn.-The German govern
fnent, threatening mstreatment of
Americans because of the imprisOn-
ment of the bomb plOtter Franz Rinte-
len, has been warned by the United
States to remember that such step
will draw swift retaliatOry action upon
the thousands of Germans In this
country.
Germany's threat and the answer of
the United States were disclosed Fri
day by the state department In n
note presented by the Swiss minister
here, the Berlin foreign office pro-
posed to exchange for Rintelen, Sieg-
naturalized citizen, serving ten years
in prison In Germany for acting as
Russian spy. Notice was given that
an answer to this proposal was await
ed before putting into execution con-
templated measures of reprisal against
Americans In Germany because of the
failure of previous efforts to release
Rintelen.
Would Invite Action by v. s.
Secretary Lansing replied with
tersei communication refusing to con-
slider the exchange, and suggested
that, while the United States does not
acknowledge the principle of repris-
ais occasioning physical suffering, 1t
would be wise for Germany to con-
slider that If 1t acts upon that prin-
ciple it inevitably will be understood
to invite similar action on the part Of
the United States.

NAVAL CONvOYS FOR
C0ASTW|SE SHIPS
STEADILY EXPANDING PROGRAM
OF DEFENSE BEING PUT IN
OPERATION AoAINeT RAIDS.
System Will Be Continued Until the
End Of the War, or At Least Until
All Danger Of Submarine
Attacks Has Passed.

Northumberland conveys for
coastwise shipping are being estab-
lished by the navy department. 1t was
learned Saturday night.
Indications were given at the depart
ment that the convoy system for coast
wise vessels will be continued until
the end of the war, or ut least until
all danger of further submarine raids
on this side Of the Atlantic Is re-
moved.
Taken In conjunction with uncOn.
Armed reports from neutral countries
that the German high seas feet is pre-.
pairing for a major stroke against allied
commerce generally, the information
gives an indication of the steadily ex.
panding program Of defense being put
into operation against further raids.
THE vigilance Of the navy depart
ment," declared Secretary Of the Navy
Daniels, will be maintained so long
MS there Is a submarine unaccOunted
for"
Asked II he would bring back any
naval units from European waters,
Secretary Daniels said:
'The war is across the water. That's
where our war vessels must be. The
presence Of submarine Off this coast
Is h0rassing and annoying. But 1t Is
not the war;"
Mr.. Daniels added that every ship
that went overseas Is and will be ade-
Quately protected. It is known that
all important vessels are carried un
der convoy. The secretary said the
supply Of anti-submarine guns is be-
Ing satisfactorily augmented and that
gun and trained gun crew is avail
able for every transatlantic ship.
The arming Of coastwise shipping
also Is being considered. AS soon as
need Of the transatlantic vessels for
guns has been entirely met, supplies
will be available for coast ships which
1t Is deemed wise to arm.

NEW HUN THRUST
AIMED At PARIS
FRENCH DISPUTE EVERY INCH
OF GROUND AND TAKE HEAVY
TOLL OF ADVANCING HUNS.
Enemy Attacks on Approximately
Twenty-Five Mile Front.-Americans
Repuise Hun Attack In the
Marine Sector.

Paris.-In new thrust, directed at
the sector between MOndidier and
NoyOn, the Germans have succeeded
in gaining ground along about a
twenty-mile front to a depth of about
two and half miles at certain points,
according to the war office announce
ment.
The fighting was very heavy and the
French offered powerful resistance
to the multiplied efforts of the enemy
and finally succeeded in checking the
advance, particularly on the two
wings.
The feeling of confidence evident
when the first announcement was
made that the Germans had resumed
their offensive seemed justified by a
statement that the enemy's attack on
the approximately 22-mile front had
succeeded in advancing a bare four
miles at one point only, and then at an
appalling cost Everywhere else, the
statement said, the Germans were be-
ing held.
Attacks by the Germans in the
Marine sector have again been repulsed
by the Americans, who inflicted heavy
losses on the enemy.
A new German division, the Fifth
Grenadier guards, was identified by
the Americans for the first time on
Saturday.
1t is understood that the entire
American force participating in the
second battle of the Marine will be
decorated by the French government.

SERBIA RIPE FOR ALLIED AID.
President Advised Now Is the Tim,
to Extend Helping Hand.

Washington.-Serbia is ripe for
allied Intervention of the right sort,
President Wilson has been told. Men
on whose judgment he has heretofore
relied have laid before him plan
whereby the allied armies are to be &C.
cOmpanied by economic missions to
restore order in the country as the
armies march ahead.
1t is further understood that the
president has been deferred from Civ.
ing his assent to these plans because
of the opposition Of the state and war
departments.
The state department is understood
to be standing out for the observance
of a punctillous procedure with re-
gard to Russia. The war department
is understood to be sOlidly behind the
one front" idea and to discourage
ny suggestion that tends to weaken

MILLION YOUNG MEN
REGISTER FOR WAR
FROM THIS NUMBER 10000 WILL
BE FIT FOR DUTY, IT is
ESTIMATED.
While Law Requires That Reoistrants
be Placed at Bottom Of Glass to
Which They are Assigned. Many
Will Soon be Called.

WashingtOn.-A million young Amer
leans, just turned u, were registered
on June for service in the war for
world freedom. Orders went out from
the office of Provost Marshal General
CrOwder to the governors of all states
except Arizona for the mobilization be-
tween June "a and % of 100000 more
registrants. This was in addition to
10000 negro men requistiOned from
twenty states and brings the total num-
Der of selective service men called to
the colors to 1896, 7O4. and when they
are in camp the nations army will
number well over 100000 men.
10000 Fit for Service.
The men who registered June 5 have
become of age since the first registra-
ton day, June 5, 1917. Military author
tiles estimate that from their number
there will be had 10000 men fit for
active duty.
While an act Of congress requires
that the new registrants be placed at
the bottom of the class to which they
are assigned, many of them may soon
be called to the colors, as the re-
QUESTION upon the governors probably
will exhaust the first class in some
states. While no formal explanation
was made, this was believed to have
been the reason why Arizona was not
included in the call.
Registration days for men becoming
p years old probably will be fixed
every three months hereafter. 1t is
estimated that 100000 men become of
age yearly, and the new registrantS
are expected to 60 far toward keeping
up the first class in each state, from
which thus far all men for the ma
tiOnal army have been drawn.
Illinois is directed to furnish 2S5OO
men under the latest call, more than
double the number called from New
York, which is second on the list.
Pennsylvania is to furnish 10000 and
Minnesota 10000.

The Americans have been pressing
the Germans so hard that the enemy
has been forced to throw three new

The Americans are like tigers. Their
commanders have all they can do to
hold the men back. Even the wounded
are enthusiastic and eager to fight.
They are proud of their wounds. A
general who visited q field dressing
station said he was elated by the
sight.
Sing as They Go Over the Top.
The, Americans sang and whistled
yankee Doodle" and cheered as they
went over the top. They made their
way swiftly through the German dead
that lay strewn in No Mans Land.
In addition to prisoners, the Ameri-
ans captured ten machine guns. The
German prisoners said they had not
been fed for four days, owing to the
deadly fire from the French and
American guns, which prevented the
bringing up of supplies.
