Americans Cool as
Desfroyers Saue a
Convoy From U-Boats

LONDON. Thursday, June 6.-Ger-
man submarines were foiled In their
attempts against convoy which in
cluded ships carrying American troops
and American Red Cross workers, ac-
cording to the Rev. Father Joseph
Wareing, of Baltimore, one of the
Red Cross party, who arrived in Lon
don yesterday. The protecting de-
stroyers got into action quickly on two
occasions last Sunday, but the Rev. Mr.
Wareing did not know whether any
submarines had been sunk.
To The Associated Press the Rev
Father Wareing, who had trying ex-
perience following the torpedoinR al
tho British steamer Laconia, in Feb
ruary, 1917, said:
"Soon after we reached the danger
zone our convoy was attacked by Ger
men submarines. and for few min
utes l thought was in for another
experience Of the same kind as l had
on the Laconia. The exact number OF
the enemy U-boats was not-determined
but at least two were seen.

Especial Dispatch to Tho Tribune)

WASHINGTON, June 8.-Coastwise
shipping will be placed under adequate
convoy or equipped with naval armed
guards, and the coast patrol will be
strengthened by utilizing every vessel
IN American waters, but no destrovers
will be returned from the American
overseas feet, according to plans Just
completed by the Navy Department., it
became known to-day.
These steps to Offset the German sub
marine campaign were completed to-
day, and orders have been dispatched
to all navy yards and naval districts to
place in commission for immediate use
every available gun and vessel.
Small craft incapable of mounting
naval guns will be escorted through
the zone on the American coast where
U-boats have operated during the last
week.
No Vessels To Be Recalled
Secretary of the Navy Daniels to-day
asserted that no order had gone for
ward to Vice-Admiral Sims to send
some Of his feet to American waters
and that no such order was contem-
plated. "Our first consideration" he
said, "is to keep the lanes for trans
ports and supply ships free of the
enemy craft, and we will succeed in
doing this"
Secretary Daniels said the Navy De-
partment had received no confrmation
of the reported sinking of German
undersea raider by an American de-
stroyer, but he indicated that such a
report would not surprise naval off,
cials. He said the navy would not fol-
low the custom of the British Admi-
ralty and withhold announcement of
any U-boat sinking "if it occurred in
American waters"
1t developed to-day that when the
hrst report of the sinking Of coastwise
craft was made to the Navy Depart
ment last Monday, steps were immedi-
ately taken to increase the protection
of vessels plying between Halifax and
South American ports. While it was
frankly admitted that the supply of
guns was not ample to equip all vessels
in coastwise trade, it was asserted that
ships of the larger size would either
be conveyed or supplied with other
methods Of protection.
Board Discusses Situation
The submarine situation was dis
cussed at length to-day by the Naval
Consulting Board here. While no
statement was forthcoming from the
board as to new plans of combating
the submarine, significance was at
tached to the fact that Secretary
Daniels, Admiral Benson, chief Of
naval operations; Rear Admirals Wins
low and Shoemaker and other naval
officials were guests of the board at
luncheon.
1t is known that the Naval Consult
ing Board for the last year has con-
ccntrated on devices to combat the SUBJ
marine. Numerous experiments have
been conducted in close cooperation
with the naval authorities and scien-
tific organizations, and number of
methods have been adopted and are be
ing used successfully against the un-
dersea enemy.
1t was announced by the board to-
day that more than $1,000 inventions
have been submitted and acted upon
since its organization three years ago.
The board decided to-day to remove
its New York Office, now at 13 Park
Row, to Washington when the new navy
building is completed.
New-York tribune., 1918-06-09

machine gunpers, fighting the first
time, held the enemy few days ago.
The American infantry is now for
the first time in desperate hand-to-
hand fighting, and also holding it's
own against some of the enemy's
best troops.
The performances Of the American
troops, beginning with the capture of
Cantigny in the Montdidier sector
and during the fighting on this front,
have demonstrated, according to the
best French military opinion, that
the men from the United States are
an entirely new type of fighters on
European battlefelds. 1t is believed
that the constant injection of Ameri-
cans into the Allied armies, which
will be possible henceforth, will be a
tonic that soon will tell against the
enemy.

Allies Make Gains
At Several Points
Berlin for First Time
Refers to Pershing's
Men; Calls Success
Insignificant

Following up their gains In the pre-
vious days fighting, the Ameri-
cans and French yesterday pushed
further into the German lines
northwest Of Chateau Thierry,
capturing one village and infict-
ing heavy losses on the enemy.
Within four days the German drive
in the Champagne has faded and
the violent Franco-American re-
action, where the crest IF the
wave swept nearest TO Paris, is
spreading. At many points along
the front between the Ourcq and
the Marne the Allies report gains.
East Of Chevy the French yesterday
maintained their gains Of Friday
in the face of two violent German
counter attacks. Heavy casualties
were inflicted on the attacking
forces. Farther south the French
penetrated Eloup.
The Americans renewed their at
tack east Of Torcy and near Bel
leau Wood, . front Of about one
mile, making slight gains. This
battle is still continuing.
A heavy German attack, preceded
by a gas barrage, Friday night,
on the American positions near
Bouresches was halted 400 yards
in front of the trenches.
For the first time the Berlin War
Office referred to an American
regiment" Heretofore Ameri-
cans have been mentioned only
when they were numbered among
the prisoners.
Berlin admitted the French and
Americans had made gains north
west Of Chateau Thierry, but
called them insignificant.

For Assault
Near Noyon
Guns Open Heavy Fire;
Powerful Reserves Are
Available

WITH THE FRENCH ARMY IN
FRANCE, June S.-The revival Of ar
tillery activity in the sector between
Noyon and Montdidier is claiming at
tention to-day. Whether the Germans
intend to deliver another blow here
with their still powerful reserves can
not be foreseen. but the Indications
point to such an event.
The German Runners in this region
are very active in securing ranges on
Allied positions. This work, however,
is carried out with difficulty as the
Allied cannon incessantly harry the
enemy's battery emplacements and
lombard the rear Of his lines.
Most of the German shock divisions
used in the Marne battlefield have been
withdrawn from that area.
Important advantages have been
gained by the Allies in numerous small
infantry engagements during the last
two days. French, American and Brit
lsh troops have participated in these
actions and the bag Of prisoners is
considerable. The tactical situation of
VIC hillcS lS improved uy the recon-
quest of a number of dominant points.
AS a general rule the great German
effort in the Valley of the Marne seems
to be fading away as the enemy comes
in contact with something approaching
his numbers.
The most severe among the minor
battles fought recently in the Marne-
Rheims region was in the vicinity of
St. Euphraise and Champlat. westwal d
from Rheims.
The Germans launched serious at
tack here at dawn Thursday along
four-milc front. They planned to
pierce the Allied lines to depth OF
two and half miles, which would per-
nit them to outflank Rheims mountain
and thus capture the city. 1t would at
the same time reduce the salient held
by the Allies which endangers a large
part OF the German line.
The village and spur of Bligny fell
into their hands when they came for
ward in dense waves, but the British
Immediately counter attacked and re-
took the spur. simultaneously The
French counter attacked and reached
the outskirts of Bligny and on Sec
ond attempt recaptured the village
and reastablished the line.
The Germans suffered most severely
from artillery fire. the two divisions

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY
IN FRANCE, June 8.--American
troops last night attacked the Ger
mans to the east of Torcy, in the
district northwest of Chateau Thier-
ry. The French continued their ad-
vance on the American left. At last
reports the operation was progress
ing satisfactorily.
The American artillery was active
all night in the Belleau Wood sector.
The fire increased in intensity at 4
o'clock this morning, when the
Americans attacked in the southern
part of the wood, taking prisoners
and number Of machine guns.
The battle was still raging here
this afternoon.
German Attack Breaks Down
German prisoners report that new
German troops are moving up along
the American sector on this front.
The enemy artillery fire is increas-
ing, indicating that the Germans
are bringing rp additional big guns.
The Americans moved down the
enemy with machine gun and rife
fire last midnight, when the Germans
made an attack on their position.
They fought like demons. At one
point they killed 100 Germans.
The Germans launched their
thrust against the Americans in the
vicinity Of Bouresches. They were
completely stopped, however, about
400 yards from the American
trenches.
Before they made their attack the
Germans sent over a smoke cloud,
supposedly Of black gas. new form.
During the fight the Americans wore
gas masks.

WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES
BETWEEN RHEIMS AND SOIS-
SONS, June 1.-THE heaviest fight
ing Of the last twenty-four hours
continued desperately late Friday,
with the French and Americans
about equally dividing the four mile
battle line west of Chateau Thierry.
The Allied forces, in perfect liaison,
were slowly pressing the enemy dur
ing the evening, though with battle
at night the line was still subject to
fuctuation.
The French troops have taken
three strongly held villages and sew
eral heights, and are now maintain
ing themselves on the heights south
east Of Hautevesnes. The enemy is
contesting every foot, giving up val
liable positions only at the cost of
heavy casualties.
Locked With Foe
Although the Americans have not
progressed as far as their comrades
in arms on the left, they have been
locked in a death grip with the
enemy since yesterday, attacking and
counter attacking like veterans.
Belleau Wood is a great nest of
German machine guns. which the
enemy is using in great profusion in
an effort to hold new territory. Some
idea of the task confronting the
Americans in Belleau Wood is given
by the exploit of young lieutenant
who advanced alone with an auto
matte rifle against an enemy machine
gun nest. He killed the entire crew
and brought the gun back to the
American line.

A CHANCE IN
 THE BASIS OF
 COMPUTATION

F. Matheson. chairman of Lo- cal Board No. s, has received from Governor Strong a copy of an order promulgated by the Provost Marshal General. The order reads as in part follows:
 The next national quota will be announced and apportioned among the several states as soon as pending legislation authorizing a change in the basis of COB pu- tation is enacted by Congress. This legislation has been passed by the Senate and favorahl! re- ported by the House Military Committee. The number that will be assumed as basis for computation will be 800, 000, which is well within the authorization of clause 1 of section l of the Selective Service Act of a second increment of 800, GOO men. in- ,reased by the recruit training
 its authorized by clause ) of
 d section l, and by the sl eciai f; l technical troops authorized
 section ? of said Act. It can not now be announced what the total number to be called to the colors each month will be but 1t may be said that no more will be called than can be properly ac- commodated and promptly assim- Hated.
 It may be said that there will be no sudden withdrawal of 2 reat numbers of men from the ranks of industry and agriculture dur ing the coming summer but that men will be draw II in relatively small groups throughout the year in such a way as to create the least possible interference with industry and agriculture. Men in deferred classes as well as men lin Class. 1 will~be- selected in small numbers either on account of their special technical qualifi- cations or for the purpose of sending them to schools where there will be an opp5rtuhity TO ae- quire such qualifications.
