Additional thousands of Amer

Principal arrival of the day was
the lie de France, giant French Line
ship, reaching New York at dawn
with 1858 persons aboard. The pas
senger list of 1901, far above normal
capacity, included 1924 Americans.
Among Washingtonians who ar

The Lewis girls, who live at 3099

Americans were advised to get home
as quickly as possible. They went
through France, crossed the chan

Another arrival was the Johan

The ship left Amsterdam on August

On the way also was the Rex, one
of the crack ships of the Italian

with about 1000 passengers. Most
of these were Americans.

The War Situation

Another British ship-the 5,546-
ton tanker Kennebec-was tor
pedoed and sunk, but its crew
of 80 was saved by the Dutch
steamer Breedyk. This raised
the total of ships lost in the war
to II, 10 OF which were British
or French, German, and neu-

Overcrowded ships continue to
rush Americans home from
Europe today as nearly 1000
refugees from the war landed in
New York on French and Dutch
liners, as many more were at sea
on the Italian Liner Rex, and U.
S. ships loaded another 5000 at
French ports. Meanwhile. the

others from New York for emer-

British Tightening
Patrol of Sea Lanes

BY the Associate. Press.
Great Britain frightened her patrol
of the sea lanes today as the first
week of hostilitieS saw II ships of
five nations sunk by submarine,
mine or shell. The British tanker
Kennebec was the latest victim.
Some vessels hove into neutral
ports while others moved cautiously
through danger zones.
The British government said in
London it would use its belligerent
rights ito the full to halt ruth
less submarine warfare and pre-
vent supplies from reaching enemy
ports.
The British French loss stood at
ten and the German four The
Dutch minesweeper Willem Van
Ewyck went down off the coast of
the North Netherlands Friday with
a loss of 80 lives. 1t was reported
the craft. in neutral waters, struck
Netherlands mine. A Greek YES
sci also was lost. and an uniden-
tilted craft was sunk off the Danish
island of Aeroe, with all members
of the crew reported killed.
The heavier loss of the British
was natural, shipping experts point
ed out due to the greater number
of vessels in use. Lloyd's register
of July, 1899, shows the British
merchant service outnumbers the
German nearly three to one, 6,722
to 2,459.

morning said:

Forbach is on the northern flank
of the French line where tanks and
infantry were reported to have
reached the Saar River in their ad-
vance toward the Siegfried line.
That would mean they have pene-
trated 7 to 8 miles into German
territory
The reported capture of Warndt
Forest tracts further served to
straighten the French line, which

German reinforcements are mov-

conflict to develop in this region
for several days because of the
difficult terrain and the necessity
of keeping French f1anks protected
