.TORPEDoED
Old German liner Did Not Sink
But Arrives in Port

Old German liner Did Not Sink
But Arrives in Port
Washington, Sept. 6-The United
States army transport Mt. Vernon,
formerly the North German Lloyd
liner Kronprinzessin Cecilie, was tor
pedoed by an enemy submarine yes
terday 200 miles from the coast of
France, while homeward bound, but
was able to return to port. The re-
port to the Navy Department today
made no mention of any casualties,
and it was assumed that no one was
injured by the explosions. No mill
tary units were on board, but the
big liner probably was carrying some
sick and wounded American soldiers
in addition to- her crew of probably
900 or 700 navy men. The extent
of the damage was not given in the
departments advices, but from the
fact that the vessel was able to re-
turn to France at speed of IA knots
officials concluded that she was not
badly damaged.

"HIS OWN HOME TOWN"
Today's Play at the Please-U

Among the cinema stars who have
leaped into prominence in recent
years, few are better or more favor
ably known to the patrons of mo-
tion picture theatres than is Charles
Ray, whose latest Paramount photo
play, Ellis Own Home Town." is to
be presented at the Please-U theatre
Saturday.
This is an excellent photoplay
which carries a distinct message in
these days Of corruption in cities
dominated by political rings. 1t
shows how a determined young man
with ability, backed by honesty of
purpose, conscientious zeal and in
vincible persistence, can accomplish
"a great work of publication and
make "His Own Home Town" really
worth while from every moral stand
point.
Mr.. Ray is competently supported
in this picture by many notable
players, his vis-a-vis being Katherine
Macdonald, beautiful and talented

AMERICANS HURRY
HUN RETIREMENT
BEYOND THE YESLE
Dougbboys go Forward with
Dash and Keep i'm
Touch With
Enemy
AMMUNITION DUMPS
DESTROYED
Bravest of the German
Troops Could Not Resist
Yankees Advances

With the American Army in
France, Sept. 6-(Copyright by New
York Herald) opinion of mil
itary experts who are in intimate
touch with the retreat Of the Ger
mans north of the Vesle is that it is
one of the most important develop
ments of the war and means that
the Huns finally realize that it is I'M
possible for them to check the gl-
gantic Allied forces except at espec-
tally prepared strongholds.
1t is regarded by them as likely
that the Huns will go as far as the
Chemin des Danes, where they have
prepared defences of the greatest
possible resistance.
Today l had glimpse at some OF
the damage wrought by the Huns In
their retreat north. 1t was pic
ture almost identical with that be-
tween the Marne and the Vesle.
Scores of huge ammunition dumps
have been destroyed. Pillars of flame
have been seen for several nights
and it is believed the enemy has des-
troyed great supplies Of ammunition
They did not have time to get much
of it out, as the transportation is bad
in the Vesle region. Indeed, this
transportation problem has made
his retreat more serious for him
than was at first thought.
Americans have been in the thick
of the fighting in this region. While
there has been no big engagement
the fighting has been continuous. The
German high command has put his
bravest troops into the fighting, but
they were not able to stem the tide
and check our victorious onrush.
It was therefore a great relief te
our men when, at daybreak last
Wednesday, they got the order to ad-
vance. They crawled stealthily
through the valley to the heights
above and found that the Germans
had gone.
AS l wrote this the Americans anc
the French are ascending the heights
far north of the Vesle on wide
front. While we are meeting will
some resistance, we believe that we
will be able to force the Hun NORTH
of the Aisne, even should we no
go there voluntarily.

Till the End of the War
Washington, Sept. 6-Americans
who lose their lives in the war
abroad will be buried there only
temporarily. Where Identification
is possible the bodies will be placed
in marked graves, to be taken up
when the war is over and brought
home. This plan was disclosed by
the publication of an agreement be-
tween the army and the navy re-
garding the transportation of sick
and wounded from overseas. A sec
ton which says that the remains of
all officers, enlisted men and civilian
employees who have died or shall die
hereafter in France, will be buried
in France until the end of the war,
when the remains shall be brought
back to the United States for final
interment, and that the remains of
those who die on ships en- route to
or from the United States, shall be
|embalmed and returned to the
United States.

FEW U. S. SHIPS SUNK
Represent a Tonnage of around
100000

Washington, Sept. 7-American
shipping losses from submarine raids
in American waters were less than
seven-tenths of one per cent in the
last three months.
Germany's effort at the strangula-
ton of Americas transatlantic ship
ping have sent seventy ships to the
bottom since May "a. These repre-
sent total not in excess of 100000
dead weight tons, according to fig
ures compiled here today.
Basing their statements on figures
made public by Mr.. Hurley, chair
man, that the United States Ship
ping Board controlled 100000 tons,
officials estimated that the net losses
were one ton in each 70, leaving
American ports.
The actual loss to transatlantic
shipping, however, falls far below
the percentage shown. Only about
twenty of the seventy vessels meet
ing disaster at the hands of the Teu-
Itonic under-sea craft were of the
ocean-going type.

INDIAN NAMES THAT
WILL NOT BE FORGOTTEN


Ye say they all have passed away.
That noble race and brave;
That their light canoes have vanished
From off the crested wave;
That, mid the forests where they
royed,
There rings no hunters shout;
But thir name is on your waters
Ye may not wash it out.
"Tis where Ontario's bil1ow
Like oceans surge is curled,
Where strong Niagara's thunders wake
The echo of the world;
Where red Missouri bringeth
Rich tribute from the west
And Rappahannock sweetly sleeps
On green Virginia's breast.
"Old Massachusetts, wears it
Within her lofty crown,
And broad Ohio bears it
Amid his young renown.
Connecticut hath wreathed it
Where her quiet foliage waves,
And bold Kentucky breathes it hoarse
Through all her ancient caves.
''Wachusett hides it's lingering voice
Within its rocky heart,
And Allegheny graves its tone
Throughout his lofty chart
Monadnock, on his forehead hoar,
Doth seal the sacred trust;
Your mountains build their monument,
Though We destroy their dust
