Equal to Emergency.

The best way to learn to be equal TO
the big emergency is TO be equal to the
small ones. 1t is all nonsense TO sup
pose that the girl who bursts into tears
over some trivial vexation is going to
stand up bravely to the big trials of
life. The people who distinguish them
selves in an emergency are those who
have practiced self-control in the COM

SUBMARINE SIGHTED

ATLANTIC PORT.-A British freighter which put into port this morning reports having sighted German submarine last night when she was about 25O miles off the Jersey coast. The course the freight CT was steering took her to within hundred yards of the enemy craft, which, however, did not appear to be in a position to bring her torpedo tube to bear on the freighter and launch a messenger of death and destruction. Contrary to the ex- pectations of those on board the freighter, the batteries of the sub amrine were also silent and no at tempt was made to modest her.
 The freighter crowded on all speed in a desperate dash for port. The submarine was not seen again.

War Minister Boast of Big Victory Over Allies In the Chemin

AMSTERDAM.-In a speech made before the reichstag yesterday, Prussian War Minister von Stein de- clared that Berlin dispatches indi- cated that a great part of the French army had been beaten. The so- called Foch reserve army, he assert ed, no longer exists, the heavy losses sustained having reduced the re- serves to an inconsequential fighting force.
 He informed the members further that the carefully prepared attacks of the crown prince against the French and British on the Chemin des Danes front had inflicted one of the gravest defeats suffered by the Entente during the war.

PARIS.-The Germans continue to make desperate efforts to extend their lines between Montdidier and the Disc river, but there has been little change in the positions of the opposing armies since yesterday. Every foot of ground is being vigor- ously contested by the French forces and wherever the Germans have ad- vanced, it has been at tremendous cost.
 The French left wing is reported to have forced the Germans back east of Mery and Genlis wood, and heavy German attacks in the center along the Aronde river front, were repulsed during the night. Despite the repeated efforts of the Germans on the French right wing, they have been unable to debouch on the south bank of the Matz river.
 The French lines are holding south of Chevrincourt.

GAINING STRENGTH

PARIS.-The counter blows which are being delivered by the French along the twenty-one mile front be- tween Montdidier and Noyan are gaining in strength steadily and have resulted in important advances on the left wing and in the center. On the right wing the Germans continue to hurl endorsements into the ac- tion and their progress in that quar- ter has been steady, although con- siderably slowed down. At frightful cost, the Germans have pushed their way past Ribecourt. The French evacuated the Dreslincourt-R -Ribe- court angle in order to avoid need less losses.

 Le Barge.

Advices received from the upper Yukon country are to the effect that the remaining ice in Lake LeBarge has gone out and that that body of water is now open for through navi- gation.

GERMANS AWAIT OPPORTUNITY 10
 STRIKE ON SEA
Washington Hears That Kaiser Is Planning Naval Offensive For
 Near Future.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-According to information received in this city from Switzerland, there is reason to believe that Germany is planning naval offensive, against the com bined forces of the British and American navies. The reports state that von Tirpitz, in a recnt inter- view, declared that Germany is now ready to measure strength with that of the Allies. After the land forces of the Allies have been driven back around Paris, it will up to the Ger man fleet to test the British strength on the high seas.
 Anticipating such step, the Allied defenses on the water have been strengthened by the addition of many American vessels to the British fleet and when the test comes, American naval forces will play an important part in the operations.
 A German sea offensive has long been regarded as possibility and the appearance of the enemy fleet in the North Sea will not come as surprise.
