The allied stone wall of resistance still is being imposed agalnst the Ger mans on the battlefront from Sois- sons to Chateau Thierry. Nowhere is the enemy making progress. For the moment at least he is being held in his tracks.
 The fury of the invaders, however, has not yet been checked, for all along the front they are launching as- s-ult after assault on various sectors in the hope that the allied ranks may g.ye further ground. which would en- able the enemy to straighten out the curve in the line from Moulin Sous Iouvent. northwest of Soissons, to Iroesnes, which lies southeast of Will lers- -Cotterets.
 Great masses Of artillery and large numbers of troops are being used by the Germans in almost continuous battles, but notwithstanding this fact the allied line everywhere has held strongly. and at several points the defenders have undertaken the offen- siye and improved their positions.

700 CREEK INDIANS HAVE
 TAKEN REFUGE IN HILLS
It is Reported They Have Killed Three
 White Farmers.

Henryetta. Okla, June 5.-Three white farmers have been killed and 700 Indians of the Creek nation have armed themselves and taken refuge in the hills surrounding the Old Hickory stamping grounds, where the Crazy Snake uprising occurred ten years ago, according to reports reaching here tonight. The report of the triple killing could not be confirmed.
 It is certain, however, that the In- dians have armed themselves and that an uprising is in progress. Authori- : ties asserted the Indians were angered when their young men were called in the selective draft to report for army service. A Creek woman living at Council Hill is said to have instigated the instruction, which is believed by the officials to be a part of systematic pro-German propaganda practiced among the tribes.
 The woman is said to be attempting to organize new secret society among the Indians to thwart the government's plans to enlist Indians in war work

o'coNNoR PRoTsTs THE
 APPOINTMENT OF CAMPBELL
As Lord Chancellor of Ireland-De- cIares It is an Insult to Catholics.

New York, June 5.-The appoint ment of Sir James Campbell as lord chancellor of Ireland, as announced last night in cable despatch from London, was declared here today by T. P. O'Connor, M. P, to be ''an open and violent insult and provocation to the Catholics and nationaEsts in Ire land"
 Mr o'Connor made the following statement:
 The appointment of Sir James Campbell to the lord chancellorship of Ireland, with the obviously enforced retirement of Sir Ignatius O'Brien, d nationalist and a Catholic, is one of the most serious in recent Irish his tory. It is an open and violent insult and provocation to the Catholics and nationaists in Ireland. Sir James Campbell has stood, all through his life, for the most extreme section of Irish Tory and Orange opinion. He was the second in command to Sir i Edward Carson in the Ulster rebellion. ! When the proposal was made, on the | formation of the coalition ministry in | 1915, to make him lord chancellor, the proposal so shocked not only the Irish l parliamentary party but the liberal ! and labor members that protest was made to MT. Asquith. with the | intimation that debate and a division would be. forced, and saying that a majority of the house of commons | would have condemned the appoint ment and destroyed the ministry. the ministry withdrew the nomination The disappointed ex-Orange rebel
 however. received compensation in the attorney generalship, and later in the lord chief justiceship, with the hand
 some salary of $25.0O0 per year. The lord chancellorship in Ireland means
 as much an executive as a judicial office, the lord chancellor being an in- tegral and important part of the Irish executive. A soldier as lord lieuten-
 ant and Sir James Campbell as lord
 chancellor is the response of tf>s Lloyd George administration to the plea of Ireland for home rule. It seems to
 mean nome rule bill drawn on Or ange lines, and in the certain event of
 such bill being scornfully rejected
 by Ireland it means the government
 of Ireland by the soldiers and by tha
 Orange minority. Such blunders make
 the task for those who are fighting
 for the cause. the allies and the free-
 dom of the small nations" '

Location of Attacks Show the Sub
 marines Are Steadily Moving South ward-Have Used No Torpedocs
 Thus Far.

New York, June 1.-Two more ves- sels, Norwegian steamship and one schooner, were added today to the list of ships known to have been sunk by the German submarines which are raldins in American waters. The to- tai now stands at thirteen-five steamers and eight schooners,
 The fact which stood out most prominently in the days develop ments is that the Uboats still are op- erat1ns near the coast and have not returned to their bases. assuming that the two which already have been iden- tined are the only ones on this side of the Atlantic.
 This was demonstrated when the Norwegian steamer Eidsvod was sunk off Virginia Capes late yesterday. The location of the attack shows also that the submarines are moving steadily southward. if they are the same ones which attacked shipping almost at the gateway to New York harbor. The navy department reported yesterday an encounter between a destroyer and submarine off the coast of Mary land.
 All Sunk by Bombs and SheIfire.
 Another fact which is regarded as significant in marine circles here. is that none of the vessels reported sunk thus far was sent to the bottom by a torpedo. It is considered certain the 1 undersea craft carry torpedoes and that they are conserving them in the hope that they may get an opportu- nity sooner or later to attack a trans port loaded with American troops The unarmed merchant ships which have | been attacked thus far have been sen1 to the bottom by the use of bombs and shell fire.
 May Be Other Vessels. Possibility that vessels still unre ported may have been sunk was seer in a statement of the master of tn schooner Samuel c. Mengel who ar rived here today with his rescue, crew. He declared he was told by tn | commander of the submarine whicl destroyed his ship, that the U-boa had sunk three steamers, one pas senger liner, and three .schooners, las Saturday No vessels have been re ported sunk that day and it is be lieved either the U-boats captain wa lying or that Captain Hansen misun derstood him.
 Only Loss of Life Was on carolin; So far as known the only loss c life was aboard the New York & Por

 definitely established tonight at onl

 entity the destroyer did not see the sub marine until the Radiolene changed course to starboard as the captain of the Radiolene purposely kept between the submarine and destroyer so that , the submarine would not see the de-
 stroyer.
 As soon as the submarine saw the I destroyer she submerged. The captain , did not see the submar ne again and is [ unable to tell what the destroyer did : because the Radiolene was too far 3 away when the destroyer reached the ? spot where the submarine disappeared

Washington. June 5.-The story of the captain of the French tanker Ra- dioleine, attacked by submarine off the Maryland coast yesterday, reached the navy department today, showing the raider had fired fifteen shots at the F'renchman from long range before an American destroyer answering an ''S. O. S." appeared.
 The destroyer passed full speed ahead toward the enemy. which promptly submerged When the de- stroyer reached the spot where the U- boat had disappeared, the Rad olene was too far away to see what hap pened None of tho shots hit the tank CT and three which she fired at the raider went over.
 The captain said the submarine was so big that when his lookout sighted her six miles away he reported her as an American destroyer.
 Following is the navy departments summary of the Frenchman's story:
 "Thc submarine was so big that at first the lookout thought it was an | American destroyer. He was about six miles distant from the Radio'ene. The ! submarine when sighted lay about two | lengths from a three nasted sailing ship tprobably the Schooner Edward | R. Baird, Jr, which later was bomb cd and sunk and the lookout reported it to the captain as a destroyer. The capta:n was in doubt as to the nation ality so did not fire, but manned his guns. He changed his course from east to west and the submarine open ed fire, but the Frenchman still helt his fire until the submarine fired the 1 second time Then he fired, range about 12. 900 meters,
 The French ship fired in all thref shots. He kept a direct course anC did not see them submerge. Tn
 Frenchmsn heard two shots and abou 15 minutes before he sighted the sub marine. He believes these shots wer
 fired to stop the sailing vessel. Tn
