American Fireworks
Seen IN France.

There were fireworks OF the Ameri-
can brand in France yesterday, and
plenty of them. While France and
Great Britain were Joining with
America in o magnificent Fourth Of
July celebration that is destined TO
become q milestone in the history OF
mankind, the troops Of the three ma
tions did some celebrating" Of their
own in the actual lighting zone.
American infantry made its debut
on the British front, on both sides OF
the Somme, to the east OF Amiens.
Together with the Australians, they
went over the top and, supported by
tanks, they stormed the important
village Of Hamel and two woods-
Hamel and Vaire-which the Germans
have held ever since their Picardy
drive came to a stop. More than one
thousand prisoners fell into the
victors' hands.
The Americans davanced their lines
to a depth Of 500 yards on a front Of
100 yards.
In Italy the Austrians were again
beaten in several local but neverthe-
less important aetiona They lost "a
prisoners TO the Italians who pushed
forward to a considerable distance at
Navazucchorina, not far from the
mouth Of the Piava- In the mountains
the British and French made success
full raids and easily beat Off a series
OF Austrian attacks.
The French, too. registered q new
and important advance. They pressed
forward on a front OF three miles
northwest of scissors. taking more
than 1000 prisoners. In q night at

the German lines to a distance OF
nearly half a mile on a front Of Q

SUBS DRIVEN FROM ATLANTIC
Activity Of American and British
Destroyers Scares Huns.

London, July 4.-The success of
American and British destroyers and
other allied agencies in combating
the U-boats in British waters and in
the Atlantic steamship lanes has
forced the German undersea pirates
TO transfer their attentions to Ner-
wegfan fishing boats in the Arctic.
These little craft may be sunk with
little risk and this work appears to
be more to the liking of the men who
now compose the crews of the
U-boats.
The skill and daring that marked
the work of the U-boats in the early
days OF the war, is lacking in the
men who are now being impressed
into this service. According to re-
ports received by the Admiralty. a
pessimistic feeling prevails in the
German naval ports as a result of
the failure of most Of the U-boats
to return and the knowledge that
they are being sunk more rapidly
than they can be built.

SULTAN DEATH
GIVES KAISER
MORE POWER
Passing Of Mohammed '
From Influenza
Reported.
YOUNG TURKS CONTROL
Their Influence with Ger.
mans Throughout Present
War Alliance.

Amsterdam, July 4-Mohammed v
Sultan Of Turkey, died at O'Clock
yesterday evening, a victim of influ-
enza. News of the Sultan's death
comes in a Reuter- dispatch from Con-
stantinople.
Mohammed V was proclaimed Sui
tan April ., 1909. He was "a years old.
In diplomatic circles II is not
thought that the death Of the Turkish
ruler will bring about any change
in the internal affairs of Turkey. The
belief Is general that the party of
the Young Turks will continue to
dominate the government, although
IT is agreed that they are in the mi
nority. However, so strong is this
minority that an organized attempt
to overthrow them is not looked for.
Strengthens Germany.
In some quarters It is held that n
the report of the Sultan's death is
true, IL can only lead to a stronger
hold upon Turkey by German inter
ests. The effort of the Kaiser,
through his missions. to spread Ger
man kultur among the Turks and to
organize the Turkish army along the
lines prescribed by German military
tactics, has proceeded with little op-
position. The success of the oung
Turks party in the defense OF Con-
stantinople in the unsuccessful Brit
ish campaign which terminated on tke
Gallipol in January. 1916, has estab-
lished the party strongly. 1t is said.
The chief menace which might arise
in Turkey, through the death Of the
Sultan, would undoubtedly be the
consummation now of economic trea-
ties which Germany has sought for
the past two years to negotiate.
An Alliance.
In August. 1914. a treaty of alliance
was signed between Turkey and Ger
many. 1t was kept a secret from the
allies who sought vainly for months
to persuade Turkey to assume a
neutral status.
However. the Young Turks, under
the spell Of the German agents, re-
fused the plans put forward by the
allies, and, with the consent of Ger
many, proclaimed its emancipation
from all restrictions laid upon its
freedom OF action from time to time
by the European powers. Finally. on
January IL. 1917, a series Of treaties
between Germany and Turkey were
signed which provided for German
recognition of Turkeys full sovereign
ty and her equality of status with all
independent nations.
Germany has tried In vain TO bring
Turkey into her economic net. but so
far all negotiations have failed I'm
bringing a definite treaty. For all
that Turkey is a valuable ally of the
German nation, since IL controls the
right Of way to the rich mineral
mines Of Asia Minor and has been
shipping to Germany fully 25 per cent
of the copper used in the manufac-
ture of munitions.
For twenty years Germany's politi-
cal leaders have sought to create in
Turkey a strong but subordinated
military ally. and TO bring her-witilin
the German economic system. Rich
territories in Asia Minor and the Mes
opotamian Valley might thus be de-
veioped. an alderman route to the
East assured. and Britain's routes to
India and her position In Egypt
Brought within striking distance.

representatives bade a solemn fare
well to the tomb of Washington,
and passed down the long winding
tree shaded pathway to the yacht
Mayflower.
Each member of the party was in
troduced to President Wilson on the
trip to Mt Vernon. He chatted in
formally with them. On the return
trip, Mrs. Wilson was hostess at tea
in the cabin. An interesting and
informal conversation among the
cabin, after most of the ladies had
returned to the deck.
Talk flew from the Russian situa-

darkest problem of the world to the
most trivial. and the faces of the
various nationalities, dark and
