WASHINGTON Is AMAZED
Special Despotch 10 THr srS

WASHINGTON. June I. Officials OF
the Navy and the War Departments ex-
pressed the greatest surprise tonight
when told that New York city had been
darkened. They krow OF no good mill
tary reason why this should have been
done. In fact. they seemed disposed to
attribute II to over excitement.
The presence Of the German sub
marines off the coast Is not regarded in
military circles as at all justifying the
extraordinary measures resorted to in
New YORK TO protect that city and Is
deprecated as having a tendency unduly
to exaggerate the incident and alarm the
people
4 high oficial OF the Navy Depart
ment when told tonight that the city
had been darkened said:
'If there was any good military rea-
son for such a step the suggestion would
have been made from Washington. No
such suggestion has been made. The idea
that the German submarines may have
brought over airplanes with which 10

ulous
ITO lombard New York the sub
marines would have TO come close in to
city would be without the range OF their
guns. 1t is not to be presumed that the
German submarines will sail up close
enough to Coney Island or Brooklyn to
do any bombarding Such a theory has
never been seriously entertained by the
Navy Department"

ten knots or so.
"It happens that We have card more

after their arrival on the banks Of the
River Marne on May Fl took a most ac-
tive part in the defence OF Chateau
Thierry. which then was in imminent
danger OF capture by the Germans.
Scarcely had the Americans al!ghted
from their motor lorries when they were
ordered into Chateau Thierry with .

Americans Immediately organized their
defences. and by rapid action and excel

enemy to hesitate.
'In order to mask their movements the
Germans used smoke gfensdes. render
Ing shooting difflcult for the defenders
and at the same time opened a severe
bombardmert on the town. The enemy
started across the bridge, but when
many had reached the centre OF the
structure terrific explosion behind them
heralded the destruction of the central
arch. Dozens Of the Germans were
hurled into the water, while the few
that reached the south side were cap
tured.
The Americans who held the south
end Of the bridge and banks OF the
river covered the whole operation and
protected the French troops while cross
ing before the explosion. The French
officers fighting with them declare that
the Americans displayed wonderful
qualities OF GOODNESS and courage in the
most difficult situation and In the course
Of the trying struggle in the streets.
Afterward they. with their machine
guns. prevented all attempts Of the en-
emy to repair the bridge.
"The troops began to arrive on the
battlefront on Saturday and participated
in the fighting almost Immediately. They
not only repulsed the Germans at every
pont at which they were engaged. but
took prisoners without having any
prisoners in turn taken by the Germans.

LONDON June 1.-THE Supreme War

pressed in an oflcial statement made
public tonight full confidence in the
outcome Of the war. with the aid Of the
American forces.
Complete confidence in Gen. F'och Is
also expressed and tribute 10 paid to
President Wilson for his cooperation in

relieved Of all pressure on the eastern
front by the collapse Of the Russian
armies and people, has concentrated all
its eiYott IN the west.
Tho advantage 1t possesses in It's
strategic position and superior railway
facilities has enabled the enemy COM
mand to gain some initial successes. 1t
will undoubtedly renew its attacks ana
tho allied nations may be still exposed
to critical days.
After q review OF the whole position
the Supreme War Council Is convinced
that the Allies. bearing the trials OF the
forthcoming campaign with the same
fortitude they have ever exhibit d in de-
fence OF the right. will baffie the en-. my
purpose and in due course bring hun to
defeat.
Everything possible Is being done to
sustain and support the armies In the
field. The arrangements for unity OF

sition Of the allied armies and are work

Supreme War Council has complete con-

Thanks to the prompt and cordia! co.

set on foot more than two months age
for the transportation and brigading OF
