As had been foreseen, here and
abroad, the Germans have begun an
intensified U-bOat campaign directed
especially against the transports carry
ing American troops and supplies. Up
to date this has resulted in the torpe-
doing of the Mount Vernon, formerly
the KrOnprinZessin Cecelie, which was
bringing home wounded and sick SOL
diers, and of the Persic, carrying $500
American troops to Europe. In the
former case the casualties were con-
fined to men in the engine rooms and
the vessel put back to a French port
under her own steam. All the men on
the Persic were safely transferred to
the conveying vessels, after which the
steamship was beached on the English
coast The submarine which attacked
it was destroyed by depth charges In
both instances the utmost bravery and
coolness were exhibited by the crews
and the soldiers aboard.
The British steamship Missanabie
also was tOrpedoed while on her way
to America for troops and supplies

AT most opportune time came the
registration day for all Americans be-
tween the ages of eighteen and twen-
ty-one and thirty-one and forty-five
years. Gladly, with patriotic exalta-
ton, some 100000 youths and older
men enrolled themselves for military
duty, and from their number 100000
more trained soldiers will soon be
ready to move forward to the battle
lines. Millions of others, not so fit in
one way or another for actual fighting,
will be listed for other work directly
connected with the carrying on of the
standing of the 100000 will have
been determined According to Pro-
vost Marshal General Crowder, the
first to be selected for the cantonments
and camps will be those between nine
teen and twenty-one and between thir-
ty-one and thirty-six.
The matter of granting deferment
to registrants because of the work in
which they are engaged is of utmost
Importance, and the aid of all employ
ers in this has been enlisted. The gov
ernDNent is especially desirous that no
essential industries shall be disturbed
by the draft, but enough men must be
selected TO maintain a steady flow of
registrants to the training camps.

Having given up all the ground they
Won in their great spring drive, and
finding themselves back on the old
Hindenburg line. and in some places
well behind it, the Germans decided to
stop their retreat for a while. Marshal
Foch did not fully assent to this deci-
sion, but powerful concentrations of
Hun artillery and reserves in strong
positions, coupled with torrential
rains throughout Picardy, brought the
allied offensive almost TO temporary
standstill. Not that the fighting by
any means ceased, for the French and
British kept pressing forward, though
more slowly, and the Germans deliv-
cred desperate cOunter-attacks, which
in almost every instance resulted only
in severe losses for them.
1t is the opinion of expert observers
that the halt of the Huns approximate
ly on the Hindenburg line will be only
temporary. Indeed, it is believed they
cannot stay there long if they
would. For many weeks they have
been hastily building new lines of de-
fense farther east, and Marcel Hutin
in the Echo de Paris says they are now
constructing supreme line from Ant
werp to Metz and are putting the Ant
werp forts in defensive condition.
Their present line depends on Douai,

The GREAT WAR
American First Army Wipes Out
the St MihieI Salient East
of Verdun.
BAGS ABOUT 10000 HUNS
French Aid in Attack That Threatens
the Briey Iron Fields-Germans
in Picardy Trying to Halt Re-
treat Approximately on
Hindenburg Line.
BY EDWARD w. PfckARD.

The American First army. General
Pershing commanding, started the first
great wholly American offensive
Thursday, attacking on both sides of
the st. Mihiel salient southeast of
Verdun. The French assisted by at
tacking on the point of the salient, but
the operation was planned by the
American staff and executed by Amer
ican officers and troops.
By Friday night the operation. so
far as the SALIENT was concerned,
seemed practically completed, for the
big wedge had been f1attened out and
the new line established by the Ameri-
cans ran from POnt-a-MOusson down
the Moselle to Pagny, thence across the
Woevre plain to Hattonville and along
the heights of the Meuse to the old
line in front of Verdun. The fact that
fully 10000 prisoners were taken
and that the towns and railways aban-
doned by the enemy had not been de-
stroyed made ridiculous the German
official statement that the retirement
(which had been under consideration
for some years. was completed without
interference"
This American drive threatens the
German possession of the great iron
fields of the Briey basin west and
northwest of Metz.
After terrific artillery preparation
which for four hours smothered the
entire region within the German lines
with shells, the Yanks went over the
top exactly at five O'Clock, following
rolling barrage timed for an ad-
vance of 100 meters every 40 minutes.
Great numbers of tanks supported
them and cleared the way by crushing
| numerous concrete machine gun shell
terS and breaking down the elaborate
wire defenses. American aviators in
| flocks quickly drove away the few Hun
airmen in sight and thereafter del
uged the enemy supply centers, mu-
milton dumps and hangers with
bombs, while the observation planes
| directed the work of the artillery.
Everything moved like clockwork and
the troops speedily gained their OBJ
| jectives and went on to the next ones
Village after village was taken and
by, Friday the cavalry had advanced
far into the center of the salient and
occupied strong positions.

There was no sign Of panic on board.
Many of the troops were from Chicago

Something had gone wrong with the
troCpship's engines, which compelled
her for time to lag behind the rest
of the convoy, but the trouble had been
fixed up and she was fast catching up
with the other transports when a tor
pedo hit her just forward of the en-
gine room.
