Belgium U-Boat
Bases Are Already
Useless, Is Belief
Zeebrugge and Ostend
Evacuation Discounted
by British Bottling
More Submarines Built
Washington Thinks Huns Are
Now Keeping Abreast
Of Destruction
More Submarines Built

WASHINGTON, Oct. 7.-Evacuation
of the Belgian ports of Zeebrugge and
Ostend, which it now appears certain
the German leaders have decided upon,
will not affect materially the subma-
rine situation, in the judgment of
American and Allied naval officials ac-
quainted with submarine warfare.
It is pointed out that the Belgian
coast U-boat fotilla was practically
wiped out of existence when concrete
laden ships were sunk in the entrances
of the two bases and a persistent
bombing and bombarding campaign in
augurated which has denied the Ger
mans the use of the bases ever since
The Flanders fotilla consisted large
ly of short-rangc submarine raiders
and mine layers, which operated in
very restricted zones in the English
Channel. The crippling Of the bases,
it is now virtually certain, has already
made these types useless, and in his
largely increased submarine building
enterprises the enemy is known to be
devotng himself to seagoing craft of
UBoat Toll Decreasing
The developments of the battle
ashore have not as yet influenced the
submarine situation, so far as officials
can see. In regard to the number of
Allied craft sunk, it is highly salts
factory. The monthly toll is going
down, and will never. officials believe,
return to the danger point.
There is a strong feeling here that
the Germans are now keeping abreast
OF the destruction of submarines
For time they were falling steadily
behind, but their enlarged programme.
1T is now thought by some observers,
has enabled them to keep even in the
number of raiders they can keep in
CreratlOn.
The effectiveness of the submarines
IS the point on which the greatest ad-
vance has been scored. One raider no
longer can get the results it did. This
Is ascribed in part to the waning
morale and skill Of submarine crews
and IN part to the fact that protective
measures and the Flanders coast raid
have forced the boats to take longer
roads.
Crews of Low Morale
Experts rate the place of the skilled
commander and crew on the subma-
rines very highly. 1t has been said
that boat with an experienced and
daring commander with a good crew
is ten or fifteen times as effective as
q craft with an ordinary pcrsonner.
1t is through the killing or capturing
of the skilled crews that most has
been done to lessen the effectiveness
OF the u-boats. The supply of good
officers in the German feet is running
short and now, instead of a volunteer
crew, the submarinec carry men
drafted from the main fleet 1t has
not been possible to keep the raiders
filled with volunteers.

Are Used in Effort
To Stop Americans

AMERICAN HEADQUARTERS IN
FRANCE, Oct. 6.--Americans fighting
under the command of General Gouraud
are credited with an amazing perform
ance in the fighting of Friday in the
Champagne sector. A detachment, as
sisted by French volunteers under an
American captain, attacked very
strong machine gun nest on the slopes
OF Blanc Mont, which had long held up
the Allied advance
With the utmost skill the nest was
cnveloped and captured and the entire
garrison Of four officers and 269 men
was made prisoner. Seventy-five ma
chine guns. many trench mortars and
several tractors were taken. The Amer
leans did not suffer a single casualty.
The enemy is throwing some of his
best divisions into the line opposite the
American front. One of these is made
up OF Badenese troops and has been
resting in Alsace for the last month
This division is a favorte of the Ger
man Emperor and attempted to stop
the American advance at Belleau Wood
in the july offensive.

NeV York Sergeant
Defes Barrage to
Save Wounded Men

WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN
FRANCE, Oct. IL D. m.)-(By The
Associated Prcss) A former member
OF Squadron A, New York Cavalry. dis
tlnguished himself in the fighting
around lie Catelet. He IS Sergeant
Keldar Waller, a Norwegian, who has
taken out his first American citizenship
papers. During an intense artillery
barrage on September q he observed
four wounded men crawling from she'll
hole to shellhole. With two men from
his platoon he went through the bar
rage and brought them in.
Cnc was an officer of British tank.
Who had broken his leg jumping from
the machine, which was blown up.
Another was an American non-com-
Nlssioned officer attached to an Ameri-
can tank corps, who had been severely
burned in the same tank The others
were British privates.
Upon hearing the story of the sur
vivors, Waalcr started out through a
terrific enemy barrage to reach the
tank, although assured that all the
others of the crew were undoubtedly
cead. He did not think it wise to
take any men from his platoon on this
expedition, so went alone.
Upon reaching the tank, which to
his comrades seemed an impossible
feat in view of the heavy enemy fire,
he discovered men alive inside it,
though badly burned. He penetrated
the flames, which set fire to his coat.
He rescued two men still living and
also brought out one dead man. and
brought all three back to the American
lines as shells crashed around him.
Two days later Waller brought down
an enemy aircraft with machine gun
in the same sector. He was recon-
mended for the officers training
course, but because he is not yet an
American citizen he was not eligible

noon. The troops reached the north
side of the hill by 1 o'clock in the
afternoon, while others advancing over
the Chenctondu Ridge reached and
passed La Viergettc
Inc enemy retired before this ad
vance and the victory was complete ar
o'clock. The lines at Chatel- -Cheherv
were strongly consolidated and patrols
began reconnoitring ahead, meeting
with little opposition.
The German artillery fire on the ricnt
has grown quieter than on anv nro.
vious day. The extreme right. which
had been bombarded from east of thn
Meusc, reported a notable cessation
of this fire and some change in it's di-
rcctlon to further north. Great north
ern and northeastern movements of ar
tlilcry have been noted above Cunel.
Machine Gun Fire Quits.
Tne machine gun fire, likewise, not
ably decreased on the centre, east of
the American line. This was especially
true of Cunel Woods, which has been
q veritable hive of machine guns, but
these were quiet to-day.
The Germans delivered local at
tack in Champagne at daylight east of
81. Etlenne: They received a counter
thrust at the hands of the Americans
whlch those who lived to tell the tale
Will long remember.
The Americans had advance informa-
ton of pending German attack, and
they more than met the Germans half
way. When the German artillery
opened the Americans were ready and
sent into the enemy line five or more
shells for every German projectile
hurled at them.
Among the prisoners taken were sew
entcen bcwildered pioneers from the
Rheims sector who were serving as
lnfantrymen for the first time.
Seasoned Troops in Line
AS the German artillery opened
along the line from st. Etienne to
Orfeuil several companies of German
infantry started tilterng through the
shaggy patches of pine wood. Most of
them were seasoned troops. The French
and American artillery, however, was
so effective that these veterans were
thrown into confusion. Many of them
were killed. The seventeen pioneers
were cut off from the other Germans
made prisoner. Six Of them were
wounded.
Nothing of Importance occurred on
the other portions of the American
front throughout to-day.
(Noon) (By the Associated Press).-
General Pershing's troops this morn
ing attacked the German positions on
the left wing Of this front. The
Americans made progress to q point
corresponding with their advance late
yesterday in the region Of Cunel
Woods, on the right wing.
The presence of storm troops oppo-
site the American center and the in
creased activity behind the German
lines leads to the belief that the enemy
is planning counter-attacks.
German patrols operated frequently
in the center during the night and
this morning. The enemy artillery be-
tween six and eight o'clock this
morning threw over a barrage. In
the night the Germans began an in
tcrmittent bombardment of the rear
areas Of the American line.
