Rain Turns Flanders
Front In Places Into
impossible Quagrnire

With the British Army in France,
July 28.-Continued rain has turned
the Flanders front at many places
into an almost impossible mire,
while all other parts Of the front are
wet and soggy.
Large quantities of gas have been
projected against various sections of
the German lines, which have also
been shelled freely, and, according to
prisoners, the enemy units arc losing
strength little by little.
German soldiers seem satisfied to
push matters, for their oficersohave
been telling them extraordinary tales
in order to make them fight, instead
Of submitting to capture. Prisoners
say they we're warned the New Zea-
landers were opposite and that on no
account should they allow themselves
to be taken alive as the New Zea-
landcrs were cannibals, who would
offer them cigarettes and eat them
directly after. All the prisoners,
much to the astonishment of their
captors, firmly declined to acccp:
cigarettes.

} The retreat Of the crown princes
forces along the whole Marne front
has reached a more precipitate phase.
In some places the Germans have
fallen back for a distance of several
miles. French and American troops
are harrying the retiring forces in the
center, while French and British
troops are haunmering at both Aanks.
Tanks Take Glorious Part.
In a statement issued this after
noon the French war Office said:
/ Since the opening of the artillery

front between the Aisnc and the
Marne, our tanks have taken a glori-
Gus part in the battle. After piercing
the enemy lines and enabling the in
fantry to enter the breach they have
not ceased to accompany or preccde
the troops.
Throughout the battle the tanks
have given proof of their ability to
maneuver and of their incompatible
audacity. The crews drove the tanks
into the hottest parts Of the battle
and recoiled from no obstacles. They
attacked the centers OF resistance and
the batteries of the enemy under ter
rife FIRE from machine guns and spe-
cial German cannon.
Charge German Batteries.
Their gallantry attained the great
est results. Each tank accounted for
Is or 20 German machine guns. Some
of the tanks charged the German bat
teries, putting the gunners out Of
action and insuring the capture OF
the cannon and material
THE losses sustained by the Ger
mans as result of the onslaught
of the tanks were high. according to
reports of prisoners. From July Is
to July g the tanks took part every
day in the attack. Most of them were
in action twice and some returned to
the fight four or five stimes in the
same day. Some tank companies
fought for three full days. Drivers
operated their tanks for 80 hours in

Three SUBS
SHELL SHIP
ON VOYAGE
British Liner Escapes by Hair
When Justicia Is Torpedoed
And Later Encounters
SupersubmerSible.

An Atlantic Port July 2S.--Passen-
gers on a British liner arriving here
today said that last Friday their ship
gave battle to a German U-boat 750
miles off the New Jersey coast and
last night fired three shots at what
was believed to be an American sub
marine. Apparently neither undersea
craft was hit.
This liner was one OF several which
was being conveyed with the giant
Justicia when that vessel was tor
pedoed and sunk off the north Irish
coast, July 20. According to the pas
sengsrs, torpedo which hit the JUS
ticia passed astern Of their own ship
and narrowly missed another mer-
chantman before finding its goal.
Races Without Conveys
E. H. Butt of Augusta, Ga, a
brother of Major Archibald Butt,
once aide to ex-President Taft, who
lost his life on the Titanic, described
the liners three encounters with SUBJ
marines.
The first, he said, came on July 19,
two days after the merchantmen,
conveyed by destroyers, left a Brit
ish port. The booming of guns and
the shrieking Of whistles brought the
passengers to the deck.
"Ihe sea was smooth as we took
our stations at the life boats" said
Mr.. Butt. I'VE crowded on all
steam and zigzagged as, in company
without conveying destroyers, we left
the scene in a race to save ourselves.
We heard during the night that the
Justicia and destroyers were fighting
the U-boats, and later learned that
her struggle, to survive had failed"
Mr.. Butt said that the ship met no
more submarines until last Friday at
noon, when 750 miles off the New Jer-
sey coast, the call to quarters was
again sounded and the ships guns be-
gan firing at an object apparently sew
eral miles away.
Huge Submarine Gives Battle.
This was a supersubmarine," said
Mr.. Butt. 1T made no attempt to
come nearer, and, after firing solid
shot, which fell short at least 1000
yards, began to fire shrapnel."
The exchange of shots lasted about
As minutes, according to Mr.. Butt,
who said the U-boat then submerged
and was not seen again.
At the same time, he said, another
submarine engaged British freighter
in the same waters, and it was
thought the U-boat was sunk.
IF SO, the Britisl1er got good
one" said Mr.. Butt, "for these boats
are supersubmarines which depend
more on destruction by gunhre than
by torpedoes."
I'VE got our next shock last night"
he said. I'm a smooth sea a big SUBJ
marine broke water not three miles
away, and at once our gunners fired
three shots at the boat, while our
commander signalled Who are you?
The shots fell close to the boat and
we could see the futter of flags but
no sign of a flag to denote the nation
ality of the U-boat. Finally our COM
mander signalled to the gun crews to
cease firing, and we came on, leaving
the submarine on the surface. Rumor
on board had it that the latest U-boat
was an American"
