Norwegian Steamer r
Eidsvold Sent to Bot
tom 40 Miles From
Virginia Capes
Derelict Found;
No Trace of Crew
304 Saved From Caro-.
lima; Is Missing or
Dead; Total Loss,
ID Ships

The Norwegian steamer Eidsvold,
the auxiliary schooner Samuel G..
Mengel and the schooner Desauss
were added yesterday to the list of
U-boat victims along the Ameri-
can coast. None of these vessels
was sunk yesterday, however. The
known toll of the transatlantic
raiders is now fourteen.
The Eidsvold was sunk at 5 p. m.
Tuesday off the Virginia Capes.
Her crew has been rescued. No
trace has been found of the crew
of the Desauss, which was discov-
cred yesterday off the Delaware
Capes, derelist, with a great hole
in her bow.
The crew and captain Of the Samuel
G. Mengel have been landed. Their
vessel was sunk 21O miles south
east of this port on Monday after
noon. The point at which the
Eidsvold was sunk would indicate
that the U-boats are moving south.
Two hundred and fifty survivors of
the Carolina, Of the New York
and Porto Rico Line, were landed
here yesterday. The steamship
company announced that 304 of
the 329 persons on board were
known to have been saved.
Reports from Atlantic City were to
the effect that twenty-nine instead
of twenty eight persons were in
the Carolina lifeboat that landed
there. The chief engineer of the
liner who was in charge of the
swamped boat from which sixteen
were said to have been drowned,
asserted that only seven of his
company had perished.
Although no recent attacks by
U-boats were reported, mine field
was discovered off the port of Phil
adelphia and sweepers cleared a
passage. Three mines were ex-
ploded and eight were recovered
intact. Outward bound vessels
were directed not to venture past
the Brandywine Light at the Della
ware Capes after nightfall, how
ever, unless patrol boats in the
vicinity reported it safe to do so.
Confidence that the menace was not
: overwhelming was reflected from
4 Washington, where Secretary
Daniels announced that the navy
would clear the road to France
and that troops and munitions
would travel unchecked. In ac-
cordance with recommendation
made prior to the U-boat raid, the
government life insurance rate for
officers and seamen Of the mer-
chant marine was reduced from 25
cents per 500 to Is cents per $100.
BY air and water the patrol Of the
coast was maintained. There
were reports Of firing heard at sea
off the Delaware Capes, and of a
hydroaeroplane that was seen to
drop depth bombs, but no reports
were received that hostile sub
marine had been sighted.
In his account of the attack upon the
French tanker Radioleine on
Tuesday, which was interrupted by
the arrival of a destroyer, the
captain of the tanker declared that
when his lookout sighted the sub
mersible at distance of six miles
its size appeared so great that he

Bridge Is Blown Up

When many had reached the mid
die span, it was blown up and Ger
man bodies went hurtling through
the air with the debris. Those who
approached the southern bank were
made prisoners.
The machine guns spat precise
streams Of lead at the enemy troops
which had crowded onto the north
approach of the bridge in the at
tempt to cross.
Throughout the night the Ameri-
can guns on the left bank commanded
the river and frustrated every enemy
attempt to repair the footbridges.
They constantly enflladed the streets
leading to the bridges, making the
vicinity perilous for the Germans.
The American losses were more
than repaid in the losses tkey in
flicted on the enemy, not to mention
the admiration they inspired among

Held to the Death

It must be said in all fairness that
the enemy has been brave in this
battle, but the absolute pinnacle of
valor goes to the defenders Of the
Allied line, who held to the death.
For nine days the real story has
been unavailable. 1t has been locked
in the breasts of the dead and dis
spirited, in the heat of conflict. The
men who survive tell disconnected
stories. Probably only a tenth,
therefore, of what really happened
is available to-day. Eliminate fur
ther many details of this remain
ing tenth, which must be suppressed
due to military prudence, and listen
to a few which establish new
standard Of bravery.
A certain French division held a
position a week ago, before Chemin
des Danes. The prisoners taken
said that the Germans were planning
an attack on Sunday night. Due
precautions were taken, and every
man was ordered to fight to the end.
The enemy, after three hours of
bombardment with shells filled with
deadly gases, as we'll as high ex-
plosives, threw his masses against
the French line at 3 80 o'clock Mon

WITH THE ALLIED ARMIES
BETWEEN RHEIMS AND SOIS-
SONS, June 5.-The Americans have
repeatedly distinguished themselves
in the terrific fighting Of the last
three days. In the defence Of Veuilly
Wood and in their counter charge
mile to the north ther~ won the
praise of their allies by their smash
ing blows.
But more dramatic was their re-
sistance to the German attempts to
drive them back at Chateau Thierry
and to force a crossing of the Marne
there.
Throughout the fighting the Amer
leans we're under the enemy's rifle
and machine gun fire from the north
side of the river. Some actually ex-
perienced the novelty Of seeing their
first hostile German and Of being un-
der fire for the first time in their
lives simultaneously.
Under Heavy Fire
They were subjected to shell fire
as they entered Chateau Thierry,
which the enemy had been lombard
ing all day long. On the following
evening about 9 o'clock the enemy
again filtered into the western SUBJ
urbs and followed the banks of the
Marne into the city, while his artil-
lery subjected the streets to the most
intense bombardment.
In addition to the semi-darkness
the Germans used smoke grenades to
obscure their movements and also to
hamper machine gun fire.
American gunners held the south
approach of the main bridge which
the enemy reached from the opposite
bank. The bridge had been mined in
the centre and the Germans, though
under deluge Of American machine
gun bullets, attempted to rush the
structure.

Opened With Gas Attack

The French line overlooked the
valley of the small river Ailette,
where the concentration of gas,
smoke and explosives, mixing with
the early morning haze natural to
this region, allowed the enemy
waves to dash, hideous in their pig
like gas masks, almost to the en-
trance Of the French positions be-
fore they were seen. Here fight

Draft Registration
Here otals 1854

Instead of the $4,000 men who, it
was thought, would register here
yesterday, having reached the age
of twenty-one since June S, 1917,
only 36,574 registered in the five
boroughs. Martin A. Conboy, Di-
rector of the Draft, thought that
the discrepancy was caused by the
enlistment of a good part of the
missing $4,000. The figures, by bor-
oughs, follow:

BIRTHDAY OF
HERO Celebrated
In AMERICA TODAY
Expressions of Loyalty and
Pride Ring From Coast to
Coast

Fifty-eight years ago, today, in the
little town of Laclede, Missouri, a
boy was born in the Pershing home,
who is now, one of the greatest he.
roes of the American navson. Today
the entire country from coast to coast
is ringing with expressions of loyalty
pride and patriotic enthusiasm in hon.
or of the illustrious commander-in-
chief of the glorious American army,
General John Pershing.
All over the country, celebrations
have been planned for today, but the
little town in Missouri is planning
the biggest birthday party of all,
where General Pershing was born, and
attended school and where he is still
known as Jack Pershing."
Friends of his boyhood days say
that Pershing was regular attend
ant at the Methodist Sunday school,
mis- father being an elder in the La
clede church and postmaster of the
town. He was not fighter by dis
position and is not known to have
ever expressed the wish to be a SOL
der as a boy.
Later on Pershing as a first lieu
tenant in the army acted as command
ant of the cadet battalion and instruc-
tor in military tactics at the Univer-
sity of Nebraska He later entered
the law school of the University and
when he completed the course the
degree of bachelor of law was con-
ferred upon him.
In those days Pershing's sterling
qualities were admired by all with
whom he came in contact, and friends
were made who have continued with
him in the passing years and have
borne with him the sorrow he suffer
ed when members of his own family
passed away and his wife and children
were burned in the fire at the Presid-
10 during the period when Gen. Per-
shing was stationed on the Mexican
border.
Since the time of the accident, from
which only one son escaped, Pershing
has been known as the MAN of Sor-
rows"
In France, his exploits and acts of
kindn ess to the soldiers are innumer-
nh In se ha
than when he is with Ibis boys"

GENERAL PERSHING
VISITS RED CROSS
HOSPITALS IN PARIS

The Red Cross makes public the
following:
Gen. Pershing visited American Red
Cross Hospitals Nos l, 2. 3, and in
Paris recently. In each ward he
talked to the men, asked them if they
were well cared for, and inquired
where and how they were wounded,
and to what regiments they belonged
He expressed his sympathy to scores
of patients. He also talked to many
of the physicians and nurses and
thanked them for the hard work they
had been doing in the caring for the
wounded
Praises Conduct Of Men
The general told the men that they
had fought splendidly, that their coun.
try was proud of them, and that he
was more than proud to command
such men. No one, he said, could ask
more of any fighting force than that
they should do as we'll as those who
had been in action during THAT trying
week
Sends Message to All.
Gen. Pershing said that he wished
he could visit every man in the hos.
pitfalls, but as this was impossible he
authorized Maj. James H. Perkins,
commissioner of the Red Cross, who
accompanied him, to convey his sym
pathy and to repeat the message
that he could not himself convey to
every man-"The American people
are proud of you" The general
greeted several men who had fought
under him in the Philippines and in
Mexico
