Bellevue farm, north of the village of Cierges, was the German strong point since from 1t they could com mand the approaches on four sides and their gun nests about it were concealed cleverly in the ripening wheat which afforded excellent cover. 'This kind of fighting" the corre- spondent continues, lis slow business and bad business for the side that tries to hurry it, unless it has an overwhelming power of guns and in this open fighting guns cannot be concentrated as they are for trench attacks.
 Two divisions opposed to the Americans were the 200th Jaeger di- visions, which seemed to be composed of stout fellows from various German states, and the 216th, which was brought from Kennel, on the British front in Flanders, by way of Laon, where they had rested for several days. They did not appear to be such good material as the other division. One youngster of 19 said he had been a year in service but this was his first fight. He avowed with tears that he did not like it. Other pris- l D OOA44S de1AGu WlJ LAO ~AAAASA AScAAAo were beating them, replied:
 l The Americans have good food ir their stomachs, while the Germans only have poor stuff that no one could fight on.'
 Not far from this front a some what pathetic group was found. There were five Germans and an officer on one side of it and four Americans on the other. It had been a fight to the
 finish, and the last American to sur vive had thrust his bayonet down. ward into the earth to signify that he was the last one to see it through.
 Meanwhile the fighting had been preceding between Sergy and Ser1nges with much of the old bitterness. The artillery had slackened and the man ner in which the enemy met the American infantry attack showed he
 had no intention of retiring unless compelled by superior forces.
 Prisoners from the 201st division declare their orders were to hold the line at all costs, especially at hill lS4 northwest of Seringes). They seemed to: have little doubt that there IS no lack of troops behind them.

 RAINBOW DIVISION

Washington, Aug. 2-Striktng tri- bute to the valor and fighting eff ciency of the 42nd (Rainbow) division of the American army by Gen. Du- port, commanding the French Sixth army corps in Lorraine, to which the 42nd division was attached up to the middle of last June, is contained in general orders issued by the French commander bidding farewell to the Americans when they set out for the battle front on the Aisne-Marne lines, where they are today proving their mettle in attack.
 Gen. Duport said the division was ready to take a glorious place in the new line of battle,'' and paid trt- bute also to the skill of Maj. Gen. Menoher, commanding and of Col. (now Brig. Gen.) Douglas MacArthur, divisional chief of staff.

AMERICAN LINER
 FIGHTS U-B0AT

New York, Aug. 2-An American liner reaching an Atlantic port late yesterday reported an attack by a German submarine 150 miles off San dy Hook yesterday morning.
 Two torpedoes were fired at the steamer, one passing within a few feet of the vessel.
 The liner turned about and gave battle to the diver. One of the shots fired by the liner is believed to have hit the submersible.
 The Portuguese bark Porto was sunk by German submarine $50 miles off the Atlantic coast July 27. The Navy Department announced yesterday that the crew of eighteen men had been landed at an American port by a British steamer.
 After overhauling the bark the submarines crew destroyed it with bombs placed in the cargo of cotton. No further details were given, but it was assumed the crew was permitted to take to the small boats. The Porto was bound from Savannah to Oporto.
 This is the first official word of submarine operating off the coast re- ceived here since a sea wolf appeared suddenly off the Massa chusetts sea- board II days ago and shelled a tug and barges it was towing.
 This occurred several days after the United States cruiser San Diego had been destroyed off Fire Island, N. Y, presumably by a mine planted by the submersible.
 There was no information to show the submarine which sank the Porto was the same one that attacked the tug and barges, but it was assumed it was.
 There have been several unofficial reports recently of steamers sending radio messages that tSey were being attacked off the coast, but if they destroyed their crews have not been landed on American shores, so faS' as the Navy Department has been advis- ed.

Both had been shot through the right temple with a revolver. Officials express the belief that Wright killed the girl and then shot himself.
 Investigation of a letter found on the body of Miss Tanner showed that Wright and the girl had been on a motor trip to New York and Connecti- cut cities and were returning here.
 The theory advanced by the police was that Miss Tanner was standing on the running board of the car or near by when killed. Wright, apparently. did not move from his seat. A revolver with two chambers empty was found on the floor of the machine near a handkerchief which had been pressed close to the head of Wright or his companion, and through which a bull let had been fred Wright was 22 years old and married: The girl was 20 years old. 209 EiG

COURT ORDERS BOND IN KELLAR
 CASE REDUCED
Held on Adultery Charge But Suspicion of More
 Serious Offense.
Friday, Aug. 2

Attorney George F. Mara, as coun- sel for William Kellar, of Easton, who with Edith Curtis of the same place was bound over to the September term of the criminal superior court on the charge of improper conduct, ap- peared before Judge John B. Keeler this morning at a special session of the criminal superior court on mo- tfon asking for a reduction of the bail of $2,000 which he claimed was ex- cessive. The motion was granted and bail fixed at $1,000.
 At the time Kellar was arrested he had left his own wife and had been living for some time with Miss Curtis who had gone to his home in answer to his sadvertisementfo for housekeeper A child was born to them which, &C., cording to rumor, disappeared. This rumor and many others of similar inn port gained great credence in Easton and the manner in which the couple lived was great offence to the towns people, according to Attorney B. O, Hull, who testified regarding to the action taken at the time of the arrest | in Easton.
 The state police searched diligently for evidence of foul play as regards the child but to date have found very i little on which to hang a case other than for the original which wa charged against the man. For this reason, and because the mans prop. erty is going to rack and ruin, it was desired to get sum named as bal that he could furnish and be at hbert, to look after his property until the court came in session in September. l Assistant States Attorney Galen A Garter said he felt sure that some thing more would be discovered ana that there were good and suficien reasons for holding him. Judge Keelel said that he felt sure the $1,000 bal would be sufficient to insure Kellar'i appearance whenever he was wanted and that it would be @, very easy ma. ter to apprehend him as it was rathe
 difficult to get beyond seas'' at thu present time.

Why should you worry? Why should

The Germans have not reached
America yet.
War loans are certainly fattening
your purse,
And sugar is high, but it might be
worse!
Cheer up!
Perhaps you give much to support
the Red Cross,
But it's helping the ''boys," so that
makes up the loss;
They are fighting for you-those
brave lads in France,
So give all you have and be glad of
the chance.
Cheer up!
If some one makes you mad and
you're quite blue,
Remember, the world don't turn
round just for you!
If you don't think this is beautiful
day
You're mighty poor Judge, that's
all I've got to say!
Cheer up!
