Long Island Boy Sinks
U-Boat Off French Coast

Patchogue, Long Island, July CON-
cial confirmation has been received
here that Ensign Kenneth r. Smith, of
this city, now with the United States
navy abroad, has sunk a German sub
marine of the coast OF France by
dropping depth bomb on 1t from
his hydroplane.
The young officers parents have
been officially informed of their son s
achievement, for which he has re-
ceived the Croix de Guerre from the
French government, and has been
appointed junior lieutenant in the
aviation service. This Is equivalent
to a first lieutenancy in the regular
army.
Lieut.. Smith was flying off the
coast OF France when he sighted a
black object from a considerable alti-
tude. On getting closer he discovered
that II was an enemy U-boat, lurking
under the water over which he was
flying. Instantly he prepared the
missile and delivered II with such
accuracy that the submarine exploded
into fragments and sank.

BUT new YORK
WITH MARINES
Recruiting Sea Soldiers
Flourishes Greatly IN
Washington.

washington now stands second
among all the cities Of the eastern di-
vision for the number Of recruits OBJ
tained Of the United States Marine
Corps, according to a report just re-
celved from headquarters at Philadel-
phia, Pa. New York City Is the only
place that leads washington in the
ace.
The order Of standing Of the sir
leading cities Of the eastern division
follows: New York, Washington
Philadelphia, Cleveland, Buffalo and
Boston. This status applies to the num-
ber Of men actually enlisted. without
reference to the quota for each city,
Washington has been allotted 100 en-
listments during July. Already there
have been transferred and accepted
pending transfer a total OF eighty, and
il is estimated that this district will
more than double its quota durins
the present month.
No other city in the cuntry Is max
ing any such showing in proportion &c
population.
New York City, where the population
Is almost twenty times greater. Is the
only one which leads washington
All the cities throughout the country
are, however, exceeding their quotas
to a tremendous extent. and enlist
ments in both the navy and Marine
Corps are piling In to such large ex-
tent that 1t Is becoming a difficult
matter to handle the applicants.
One Of the most remarkable features
Of the situation in this respect Is the
class of young men who are fiocking
to the eolors In this way. Old recruit
ing officers declare that they never
saw a better lot of applicants, and,
notwithstanding that the physical re-
quirements are extremely rigid and
exacting. many pass the examinations
at almost a perfect standard.
Quite a hevy percentage of those
enrolling at the main recruiting sta
ton of the U. s. Marine Corps, 4Oi
Star Building. are excellent rife shots
and all seem eager to get on the fir.
ing line without any more delay than
necessary, one of them remarking yes
terday that II was the open season fol
Huns and he wanted a chance at thai
kind of game.
