Marines Justify
Faith in Ability
az Fighting Men

Washington, June Friends of the
marine corps expressed the greatest
pleasure today at the news of their
work in France. The part they are
playing and the splendid success Of
their efforts were pointed to as justi-
fication for putting them in the front
line.
There are no better fighting men In
the world than the marines" said Sec
retary Daniels when told Of what they
had done.
No announcement has been made as
to the strength of the marine forces
abroad, but today's dispatches indicat-
ed they were holding section that
would require more than brigade
strength and that their divisional or
ganization is approximately completed.
The marine corps friends in con-
gress, who largely were responsible for
their being taken off police duty and
put at the front, were overjoyed at the
news. For a long time il looked as II
the marines would see no active serv-
Ice, and that they were fated to remain
behind the lines. Congressman and
others, however protested so vigorous
ly that the war department finally de-
cided to send them into the battle line.
The marines have been recognized as
among the worlds best troops and
wherever they have gone have given
good account Of themselves.
Reports that the French. American
and British troops are hitting back at
various points along the line Of the
Marne were studied closely today by
officers here In an effort to see what
plan General Foch may be following.
There was nothing to indicate, how
ever that more than local operations
for the purpose of improving defensive
positions were In progress.

TlGHTENs GRIP ON STEEL.
Requirements of ALLIES For War Pur-
poses to Be Met First,

washington, June I.-The govern
ment yesterday frightened its grip on
the steel supply OF the country in ac-
cord with an agreement reached be-
tween the war industries board and
the American Iron and Steel Institute.
The direct and indirect requirements
Of the American government and the
allies will be met first. If there is any
surplus It will be equitably distributed
among the nonwar industries.
Bernard NJ Bnruch, chairman OF the
war Industries board. at the conclusion
Of an al day secret session of the board
made public resolutions adopted by the
Joint committee Of the steel Institute
and the board defining the steel policy.
Figures were not made public but a
resolution adopted by the comnittee
allies steel needs necessltate strict
conservation Of the available supply
and expansion OF existing resources
and developlAent OF new sources Of
supply.
The Iron and Steel Institute agrees
that no pig iron or steel will be deliv-
cred except on priority certificate is
sued by the war Industries board, and
then for no purposes other than those
embraced in the preference list of the
priorities division OF the board.
The government will keep close
check on the steel mills thru reports
to be forwarded J. Leonard Replogle
each week, giving detailed information
as to all shipments made not covered
by priority certificates.
Even after the government and allied
needs are cared for the approval OF
Director Replogle will have to be OBJ
tained for nonwar industries.
The joint steel committee will make
careful studies Of the present and
prospective iron and steel requirements
Of the government and the allies and
the capacity Of iron and steel manu-
featuring plants of the country. Rec
concentrations will be made for the
stimulation Of production.
The war Industries board declined to
make public the joint committees re-
port as to the exact steel situation. 1t
was learned, however, that Director Of
steel Supply Replogle told the board
that the virtual cutting of Of steel
supply for nonwar Industries for the
next year would be necessary If the
government and the allied requirements
are to be taken care Of.

Washington, June 7.-Belief that the
German submarines which early in the
week successfully attacked coasting
schooners and steamers off the New
Jersey coast are now lying In wait for
larger prey in one Of the trans-Atlan-
tic travel routes of the Virginia capes
was expressed in offitial circles here
today.
This theory was strengthened by tho
torpedoing of the, British ship Har-
Eipathian on Wednesday. 100 niles or
the Virginia capes, news of:which was
announced in navy department dis
patches published today.
Having, as the Germans believe.
struck fear into the hearts of Ameri-
cans thru depredations near the ports
Of New York and Philadelphia, it is
probable that the U-boat commanders
have decided to>make bolder effort
with a tranport or large cargo vessel
as their prize.
Fourteenth Ship Sunk.
In the torpedoing Of the Harpathian
the raider struck without warning and
apparently at an armed vessel. The
Harpathian went down within seven or
eight minutes after the torpedo struck.
but the crew managed to get away and
were landed late yesterday at port
in Chesapeake bay.
The sinking Of the Harpathian
brought the total number Of victims Of
German raiders to fourteen six
steamers and eight schooners.
The Harpathian was torpedoed at 9
q. m. June 5, about 100 miles east Of
the Virginia capes.
The crew were all rescued by the
steamer. Palmer, which arrived at Cape
Henry late yesterday. One man was
slightly injured.
Sunk by Torpedo.
Captain Owen said his ship sank
quickly and that he and his crew bare
ly had time to launch the lifeboats. He
was certain that 1t was torpedo and
not mine that struck the vessel. Gus
toms officials who took charge of the
crew would not permit the captain to
discuss the sinking further.
What he believes was a German sub
marine supply ship masquerading as
neutral trader was sighted off the Vir-
ginia capes on May 25 by Captain Ray
Of the American schooner Joel Cook.
