Estimates of the size of the

have arrived at Ballu, in the Caucasus,
on the Caspian sea, to assist the
Armenians in defending this impor-

North and south of the Somme the
Germans have lost further important
ground. In the former region they
have evacuated their positions over
tive-mile front to the British north Of
Albert, while in the latter they have
been beaten back in the hill and wood
ed district just north Of the Disc river
by the French.
The capture Of Ribecourt by the
French marks an important epoch in
the offensive which has for its imme-
diate purpose the freeing of the region
between the Somme and the Disc Of
the enemy.
French troops occupied the entire
NIassif de Lassigny or Thiescourt Pla-
teau and repulsed a counter attack,
thus gaining command Of the Divette
and Disc valleys and threatening Las
signy, which the Germans will be COM
PEELED to evacuate.
Marshal Foch's strategy has given

London. The British government
has issued a declaration formally rec

waging warfare against the central

"Since the beginning Of the war rhe

ed a considerable army, fighting on

nizes the unity Of the three Czecho-
Slovak armies as an allied and bel
ligerent army waging regular warfare
against Austria Hungary and Germany.
"Great Britain also recognizes the
right Of the Czecho-Slovak National
Council as the supreme organ OF
Czecho- Slovak national interests and
as the present trustee of the future

u BOAT sinks TANKER
The Frederick R. Kellogg Torpe-
doed 10 Miles Off Barnegat.
Vessel Founders Within Five Minutes.
Survivors Picked Up and
Landed.

New York.-A haze that yelled float
ing objects only Il few miles away ma
terially favored the German submarine
that torpedoed the American tank
steamship Frederic r. Kellogg ten
miles off Banegat at 6 10 o'clock Tues
day evening and prevented the tanker's
Iookouts from glimpsing either the U
boat or the torpedo.
Hydroairplane patrols aloft off the
coast could see nothing through the
midsummer mist lying low on the sea
and the submarine had the game all
her own way. The engine room Of the
Kellogg is aft, as in most tankers, and
the torpedo blew it to bits, killing four
men and driving the rest Of the ships
company, nearly all of whom were at
dinner, to the open decks. Three 9th
er men were drowned.
The Kellogg foundered stern first in
less than five minutes. The stern life
boat was destroyed, and all hands took
10 the two other lifeboats, one equip
ped with motor, that they launched
with difficulty.
The submarine came up to take a
look at her work about 300 yards from
The drifting lifeboats, and several OF
he survivors say that she had lashed
alongside her periscope the wreck Of
a dory that they surnised she used as
decoy. She submerged a few min
utes after her commander found out
what he wanted to know.
1t was the intention Of the survivors
to steer for the coast, with the motor
boat towing the other lifeboat, but the
motor was out of order, so a leg o
mutton sail was rugged, and the boat,
towing the lifeboat, whose occupants
used the oars to help it along, laid a
course for Barncgat.
Two hours later, while 1t was still
light, the survivors sighted coastwise
steamship whose officers feared that a
Z boat might be lurking near under
screen OF the lifebOatS, so they steered
around, but finally becoming convinc-
ed that the lifeboatS held real cast
aways- they took all hands aboard and
landed them at an Atlantic port.
