Terrific battle on Marine front

The Associated Press says:
Striking the Germans north
west of Chateau Thierry along
the line where the enemy legions
were launching their heaviest
blows but a few days ago, Amer
lean Marines, fighting with
Preach troops on either side,
have pushed back the tip of the
salient driven by the Germans in
their rush to the Marine. They
have recaptured the village of
Torcy and at last accounts were
disputing with the Germans the
possession of the towns of Bus
siares and Bouresches.
The gallant work of the Amer
lean soldiers of the sea" in
this advance of over two miles
along a front of almost three
miles stands out as a heroic chap
ter in the story of American par
ticipation in the struggle in
France. Narratives of the bat
tie, which began Thursday after
noon, tell of the irresistible dash
of the Marines and the deadly
accuracy of the fire they poured
into the German forces opposed
to them.

the minds of our people every

State law which gives this coun-
ty the opportunity to build roads
mostly at the expense of the

should be taken advantage OF
from its incipiency. Yet there

A rule has been ordered by the
Food Administration that every
poultry dealer must have a gov.
eminent license. This license is
for the purpose mainly of the
conservation of eggs. 1t has
been the business habit of the
country dealer and producer OF
eggs to hold these eggs often fol-
better prices with the conse-
quence that when they reach the
market they soon spoil. The
purpose of the Food Administra.
ton is a good one and will effect
the saving of many millions of
eggs.

PRECAUTIONS.

ticials say, that precautions ia
ken to guard departing troops
and munition vessels have prov
en- adequate. Efforts to furnish
additional protection to coast
wise shipping are now being
made. In some cases fleets of
coasters may be assembled to be
passed along under convoy from
one district to the next.
Undoubtedly guns and gunners
will be furnished in many cases.
Every skipper who wants them
will be provided with weapons
with which to hit back.
Naval officials believe that
tanker Herbert L. Pratt, put
down off the Delaware Capes,
but later raised and lowed to
port, struck a mine left by the
U-boats.
TERRORIZATION PLANNED.
In seeking the motive for the
raid officials can reach no other
conclusion than that the Berlin
authorities planned to extend
their general theory of terroriza-
ton to these waters. hoping to
create a panic which would force
withdrawal of submarine chasers
abroad or the suspension of troop
movements.
1t was pointed out that should
it be the purpose of the German
Admiralty to attempt to block
ade American ports and send
many submarines, the pressure
abroad would be released and
ships from British positions
could move with increased free
dom. On the other hand the
great extent of the American
coast line, the connection be.
tween ports by means of canals
and sounds and many other con-
ditions would tend to make i'm
possible a successful blockading
operation.
These are some of the reasons
that incline officials to believe
that it is only a sea foray with
which they have to deal. 1t may
be repeated. 1t is not possible
to prevent it's repetition nor can
enough additional boats be turn
ed out in some months to make
it possible.
THE AMERICAN MARINES.
With the American Army in
France, June 5.-(By the Asso-
ciated Press. American marines
wrote another glorious page in
their history Tuesday night and
Monday in beating off two de-
termined German attacks on the
Marine battlefield. Last night
they wiped out a large enemy
patrol. this morning charged and
captured enemy machine guns,
and this afternoon killed many
of the enemy and took prisoners.
The Germans concentrated
large forces before Veuilly wood
and began a mass attack. They
were moved down by the Amer
lean machine gunners, and the
attack was broken up before
reaching the American line, the
Germans fleeing in confusion.
The marines are fighting like
Trojans and have no desire for
sleep. After inficting heavy
losses on the enemy last night,
they almost annihilated an en-.
envy patrol this morning. They
outfought the German machine.

The Navy Department had no
futher advices at noon today
from the patrol fleet hunting
down the submarine that was
last heard from off the Virginia
and Maryland coasts.
Naval officials are proceeding
on the theory that many subma-
rines may be off the coast or may
be expected to arrive, although
they have nothing to indicate
that more than two have been
operating. When American de-
stroyers and other small craft
were sent abroad for work in
the war zone, it was fully real
lied that submarine raids in
American waters were entirely
possible and the entire coasta
patrol service has been built ur
on that assumption.

SPEED AMERICAN EFFORTS.
London, June 6, (by A. p
the U.boat invasion of
American waters had been ex-
pected for some time and that
the realization will only serve to
increase if possible the already
immense naval and military eff
forts of America, is the view
commonly expressed in the press
here. The morning newspapers
give the news of the submarine
operations prominence second
only to the operations on the
western front, and comment on
it as a matter not calling for
alarm.
The Daily Chronicle says it is
a challenge which the people of
the United States will not take
lying down, adding:
1t will make them indignant,
but certainly not afraid. They
have large naval forces in their
home waters for dealing with
such an offensive, and there is
no fear that it will in any way
intimidate the American nation.
1t is much more likely to make
its stiff war determination still
SITTER"
The submarine raid may cause
annoyance, says The Daily Mail,
but it will not radically effect
the situation at sea. The Daily
Graphic sees in the fact that the
U-boats are taking the hazard of
operating such a distance from
their bases a good omen of the
seriousness of Germany's posi-
ton. The newspaper deduces
from cabled reports that the
preparations for warning and
salvage were particularly good.
1t adds:
REALLY ALLIED GAINS.
"The incident is really gain
for the Allied cause inasmuch as
the more wildly the Americans
have the war brought home to
them, the greater will be their
determination not to cease fight
ing until Germany is entirely
crushed"
The German U-boat campaign
off the Atlantic coast of the Unit
ed States cannot be kept up for
any length of time, in the opin-
ion of Archibald Hurd, the naval
writer, expressed in a statement
issued last night. Mr.. Hurd be.
lieves the operations were under
taken in the hope of weakening
the work of the American navy
in European waters and of in
timidating the American peo-
pie.
There is no possibility of the
enemy maintaining a long con-
tinued campaign off the shores

France and Great Britain Said to
Have Sent Diplomats to

London, Feb. 1.-THE remarkable
statement that France and Great
Britain have recognized the Ukraine
republic and sent diplomatic repre-
sentatives there is contained in an
official statement sent out by Russian
wireless news agency and issued here
through a press bureau. The state
ment occurs in the course Of a report
of the proceedings at the Brest-Lit-
ovsk conference of February l at
which M. Severuk, who apparently is
the new chairman of the Ukranian
delegation, is reported as saying that
by an act created by the Ukranian
rada on November the Ul1ranian
republic declared that these diplo-
matte representatives had been ap-
pointed. M. Severuk is reported to
have quoted from the act passed by
the rada, as follows:
''By this act it's (Ukrania) interna-
tionh position is recognized by the
Council of Workmen's and Soldiers
delegates as well as by the represen-
tativs of the four allied states and
also by the French republic and the
British government, which have ap-
pointed and sent diplomatic repre-
sentatives to the government of the
Ukranian Peoples Republic.''
