SUBMARINE SUNK

ATLANTIC PORT. Passengers ar.
irving today on an American steam
ship from a South American port
declare that the vessel they were
on picked up a wireless message
while off the Florida coast to the eff
feet that a German submarine had
been sunk. The message, the pass
enegers declare, stated that a Ger
man submarine had commenced an
attack on an inbound merchantmen
using her rapid-fire batteries. The
wireless calls sent by the merchant
man Immediately after sighting the
'periscope of the enemy boat were
received by patrolling flotilla of
American destroyers. One of these
speedy boats responded instantly to
the signals of distress and sent the
submarine to the bottom in a very
short sharp engagement.

YANKEE A|RMAN
CLIMBS LADDER
TO AERIAL TOP
Sergeant David Putnam Takes Place
At Head of American List
AS Ace of the Aces.

PARIS.-Sergeant David Putnam,
of Brookline, Mass, is reported to
have downed five German planes on
June 10, bringing the total number
of his victories up to thirteen.
Three of the five victories credit
ed to the American aviator in June
are official and the other three are
being investigated. Should all five
be credited as official, Putman's
record will supplant that of Lieut.
Frank Bayliss, of New Bedford,
Mass, who now ranks first among
the American aerial heroes. Put
nam will be the ace of American
aces.

SERIOUS DISORDERS REPORTED FROM AUSTRIA
AMERICA TO HAVE MILLION MEN IN FRANCE BY JULY
GERMANS ARE QUIET;
NEXT MOVE AWAITED

LONDON.-Advices received to-
day from Northern France indicate
that the German drive toward Paris
from the Mondidier-Noyon line has
come to a full stop, no apparent
effort having been made during the
past twenty-four hours to engage
the Allied forces. German artillery
continues active in several sectors,
but there is no infantry action and
it is the belief of Allied military
observers that offensive operations
on large scale have been aband-
oned for the time being, as a result
of the inability of the kaiser's troops
to break through the French and
American lines, which are guarding
the road to Paris
The maneuvers of the German
commanders during the recent hos
tilities appear to have brought moth
ing more than the obliteration of
the Noyon salient and the capture
of a few positions of small strate-
gic value. Less than three days
were required for the Allies to bring
the enemy to a full stop.
Notwithstanding the apparent ease
with which the forward movement
was checked, Allied observers insist
that the Germans have not yet put
forth their greatest effort to reach
the French capital and that battles
of much greater magnitude than any
thus far recorded are still to be
fought before it safely can be said
that the Germans have been shorn
of their offensive strength.
There is much speculation as to
where and when the next blow will
be struck. Some observers express
the belief that another attack will
be launched against the British on
the Northern front, while others look
for the Arras sector to be selected
as the next point of attack. Still
others insist that the Germans have
not yet definitely abandoned the
hope of reaching Paris and will short
ly resume their offensive from the
! Aisne line. r.. ....... .:.~. ~...- 49,

AMERICANS SHOW
Up BETTER THAN
BOCHE FIGHTERS
Reuters Observers Declare That the
Yankees Are More Than
Match for Germans.

LONDON. - Reuters dispatches
from the battlefront declare that
the American soldiers are more than
match for the Germans. Where
ever the Germans have met Ameri-
cans, correspondents of the news
agency say, they have been defeated
The American soldiers, ordinarily
full of tenderness, have resolved TO
avenge the death of their comrades,
who have been slain by treachery.
The Yankees will have no mercy
on enemy soldiers who refuse to
fight straight.
The achievements of the Ameri-
cans on the French front are being
given wide publicity in this country,
and their presence on the firing
line in increasing numbers is hav-
ing the effect of strengthening con-
fidence throughout the British Isles
and stiffening the resistance of the
Allied troops.

STEAMER ADMIRAL EVANS
HAS BEEN RELOCATED

SEATTLE-The steamer Admiral
Evans, which recently ran on some
rocks while on voyage between
Alaskan ports and Seattle, has now
been refloated and will be drydocked
for extensive repairs.
At the time the Admiral Evans
ran on the rocks it was thought
that, owing to the dangerous posi-
ton in which she lay, she would be
a total loss.
The salvage operations under
taken shortly afterwards were sue
cessfully concluded and the vessel
will soon be able to resume her run
in the Northern trade.

CROWDER SAYS

Drastic amendments have been
announced by the provost marshal
general requiring local boards to &c
over their lists for the purpose OF
eliminating exemptions hitherto
granted for certain reasons, especi
ally in the case of marriage.

YANKEE FORCES
IN FRANCE NOW
NEARLY MILLION
Chief of Staff Says That Number
Now In Excess of Eight
Hundred Thousand.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Chief of
Staff General Marsh is authority
for the statement, given publicity
today, that there are now more
than eight hundred thousand Ameri-
can soldiers in France.
He says that the men are being
rushed to Europe just as fast as
ships can be procured to transport
them, the number transported being
limited only by the capacity of the
vessels available. He says, further
that the war department will con-
tinue to send men across the At
lantic at top speed and intimates
that the appearance of submarines
close to the American coast has not
caused any material change in the
plans of the department or slowed
down the movement of troops. The
new phase of sub menace has
merely resulted in increased Wig
lance. - ..-.t.
General March further sale
that it is expected that there viii
be one million United States troops
in France by July l. The obviou:
objects of the German offensive
he said, are the capture of Paris
which is of immense strategic value
to the enemy and of great senti
mental importance; and the capture
of the Channel ports, which if &C
complished, would compel the Brit
ish, in shipping troops to France
to go farther up sea and thus ex
pose the transports to attack anc
possible destruction by the German
under-sea boats.

FOR ALASKANS
TO SIGN ROLL
Northern Boys Who Have Reached
Majority, Must Put Names on
Rolls This Summer.

WASHINGTON, D. ca special
order issued by Provost Marshal
General Crowder today contains in
structions to Northern boys, who
have reached the age of 21 since
last June, to comply with the regis
tration regulation of the selective
service law. Residents of Alaska
must register between July 2 and
September 8.
This period, it is believed by the
provost marshal general, will give
Northerners ample time to comply
with the regulations, the fact having
been taken into consideration that
the difficulties of travel in Alaska
render registration slower and more
difficult than in the States.

Associated Press Summary.-The
situation on the Western front today
is decidedly favorable to the Allied
cause on all of the battle salients.
The allied troops, by the strategic
measures adopted and the tenacity
with which they held on to positions
gained and repelling the oft-re-
peated enemy attempts to recapture
checkmated the Germans. The Ger
mans appear to have definitely
abandoned their drive on the Aisne
salient without having seriously at,
fected the general situation.
The Germans are now reported to
be resting and reforming their dis
organized forces with the evident
intention of striking their heaviest
blow on the Picardy sector, in a re-
newed desperate effort to reach the
Channel ports.
The Germans have gained one
hundred and eighty-seven square
miles of territory since the launch
ing of their great drive on the Aisne
sector. This is the poorest showing
of any of the drives launched by the
enemy on the West front.
