L. S. OFFICERS IN
AUTO ATTACKED ,
BYGERMANE YER

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMIES
IN FRANCE, June 80 (night).-one
of the strangest encounters Of the
war-between a German aviator and
an American military automobile
containing several United States Of
hcers-was learned of here today.
The motor was racing along
road at night behind our front when
suddenly attacked. Besides the
chauffeur the car contained a lieu
tenant colonel and two other officers
returning to their headquarters.
The alert had been given for the
entire region when the German plane
crossed the line on its bombing raid,
But the occupants of the machine
had not heard the siren and bugles
whils passing through the villages
They were proceeding at thirty
miles an hour with all lights on
when they heard the sound of
motor above the roar Of their own
engine.
At first the Americans thought it
was another car approaching, but an
instant later they realized the sound
came from above. Even then they
believed that il was an allied ma
chine, perhaps returning from a
bombing expedition.
The first knowledge they had that
they were in danger was the sharp
rat-a-tat-tat Of a machine gun over
head in their rear. The bullets be-
gan kicking up the dust ahead in the
light of the machine.
The chauffeur at first was slightly
ratified, and cut loose with the lights
on, dashing along the road at nearly
a mile a minute. The Boche kept on

MORE WEDDINGS
. RECORDED IN June
THAN YEAR AGO

June has more than maintained its
reputation as the month of brides
this year. And still they came.
The books OF Colonel Kroll, mar
riage license clerk of the District
Supreme Court, show that $50
licenses were issued during the past
month as compared with GA in June
Of last year.
"The July record will even sur
pass that OF June" said Colonel
Kroli today. "and have you noticed
that there is a great increase in
older men applying for licenses?"
whats the cause OF that?"
Easily explained" said Colonel
Kroll, '.tAe young men are in the
army Or are serving their country
abroad. Vt isn't a case where older
men marry young girls either, they
marry their own siZe-thats the
beauty of 1t all"

D. c. POLICE FORCE
HAS CLEAN RECORD
INMURDER CASES

A record in police efficiency be-
lieved unprecedented in any large
American city has been achieved by
the WSNhin1on police force in the
fiscal year just closed.
Washington last year had twenty
seven murders, the highest number
In her history with a single excep-
ton. In every case the police sue
ceeded in clearing up the crime and
arresting the alleged principal or
principals.
A 100 per cent record in efficiency
In homicidal cases is an almost un-
heard-of achievement in American
cities. 1t has been equaled in one or
two years by the London police and
Scotland Yard detectives. who are
world famous.
Worked Under Handicap.
Despite the differences in popula-
tion, Washington has. every year
about the same number of murders
as London. London has 1900 police
men and detectives and washington
less than 1000 with the force at its
full quota. In the past year 1t has
been handicapped by the men 1t has
furnished the military service, and
the difficulty in finding suitable men
for replacement.
In twenty-seven murder cases last
year, arrest Of the alleged guilty
person followed in twenty-six cases.
In the twenty-seventh the murderer
killed himself. Five OF the murders
were ommitted by white men and
twenty-five by colored men In one
of the latter cases a colored woman
Is Jointly charged with the crime.
The Washington department has al
ways been successful in final clear-up Of
murdey and other serious crimes, but
never before since the Capital has grown
into a large citw has it been possible to
finish a calendar year or the fiscal year,
ending June 90. with perfect record.
In both 1916 and 1917 the men almost
made the 100 per cent record. Through
queer coincidence the city had twenty
four murders each Of those years, and
each year the police cleared up on
twenty-three out of twenty-four.
Out Of seventy-five homicides IN the
last three years, only tNo murderers
have escaped. and in neither case IS the
name OF the guilty party known. The
men were congratulated today in an offi-
cial order by Major Raymond W. Pull
man, Superintendent Of the PoPIice.

SHOEMAKER SHOT
IN FIGHT WITH
BUSINESS RIVAL

Raphael Attenacio. forty-one years
old. a shoemaker of Seaton place
northwest, was shot and severely
wounded by Samuel TerranOra- Of
4O15 Georgia avenue northwest, fol-
lowing a dispute in Attenacio's shop.
Shot-through The chest and arm, the
wounded man pursued TerranOra IN
til exhausted. He was taken to Sib-
ley Hospital, and when Terranora
was brought to the side OF his cot
for Identification, again attempted to
revenge himself
The police say business rivalry was
the cause OF the shooting. Terranora
claims he shot in self-defense, when
Atteuacio ordered him from his shop
at the point of a revolver. He is be-
ing held pending the outcome Of Atte-
nacio's injuries.
Terranora explained his presence in
the shop as q protest to Attancio's
plans to establish another shoe re-
pair shop adjacent to Terranora's
new store at $50 Upshur street north
west Terranora AYERS that his rival
invited him into the store at Seaton
place northwest. After extending the
invitation, the prisoner claims that
his host reached in a drawer, pulling
out a revolver.
Fearing that he would be killed
before an escape could be made from
the store, TerranOra told the police
that he clinched with Attancio. In
the struggle, he gained possession Of
the gun The trigger was pulled
three times, the police say. Clutch
ing the weapon, Terranora fed
across the street, toward an alley.
witnesses stated that the wounded
man staggered from the shop in pur-
suit, but fell in the street. The fu-
gitive was captured by Policeman
Barteman, who heard the shots.

the cars tail, pouring a steady hail
or bullets which cut through the
trees and spattered about the car.
One bullet finally wounded one of
the officers slightly.
The lieutenant colonel then leaned
over the seat and shouted to the
chauffeur to turn off the lights and
stop the automobile. This maneuver
baffled the Boche aviator, who
passed by the car. The airman then
evidently tilted upward, circled, and
returned.
In the meanwhile the occupants of
the motor had taken refuge in the
bushes lining the road. The Boche
continued circling about for a while,
searching for the machine in the
darkness, but after several minutes
he abandoned the hunt.

GERMAN DESIGNS
German Foreign Secretary Tells the
Reichstag of Cermany's Attitude
After War.

LONDON. - Dispatches received
here today from Amsterdam state,
that, in speech delivered yesterday,
German Forein Secretary Won
Keuhlmann told the members of the
reichstag that the chief blame for
the instigation of the war must be
laid at the doors of Russia and
France with England next in order
of culpability.
Discussing Germany's war aims, he
is reported to have said that Ger
many wishes for herself and her
allies a free, strong and important
existence within the boundaries
drawn up for them by history and
that their possessions overseas should
be commensurate with their wealth
and greatness, with absolute free
dom of the seas so that their COM
merce may be extended to all parts
of the earth without let or hind
rance.
In discussing peace, he quoted
former Premier Asquith of England,
who, in a recent speech said Eng
land must not turn a deaf ear to
peace proposals if they are not
couched in ambiguous terms;;" and
said that statesman's remarks apply
with equal force to England, whose
unvarying policy in such matters,
he said, had always been to veil their
declarations of peace in terms Of
ambiguity.

WITH THE .-AMERICANS.-A
raid in force was made on Monday
by an entire battalion of Germans
on a section of the battlefront near
Barbonviller, which was held by
only two companies of French and

The Germans advanced in two
columns in the approved Berlin style
of massed formation, following a
heavy bombardment. The defend
ing forces were compelled to retire
by sheer weight of numbers and lost
several, who were taken prisoners.
They inflicted heavy losses on the
Germans ere they retired from the
