plies.

Lieutenant Entraygues Says TJ. S.
Soldiers Pounce Upon Germans
Like Bulldogs.
PARIS, July 21. "The finest thing
about the combat was the dash of the
Americans." writes Lieutenant Entray
gues, the special correspondent at the
front for the Temps.
It was a fine thing to see those
grand fellows, wltn their tunics thrown
off and their shirt sleeves rolled up
above their elbows, wading the river
with the water to their Bhoulders, and
throwing themselves on the boche like
bulldogs.
"Anyone who has seen such a sight
knows what the American army Is good
for henceforth and to the end of the
war. .
'At the sight of these men, magnifi
cent In their youth, physical force, good
temper and dash, the Germans fled
'with every leg" or surrendered at once.
The Germans hurried toward our
lines fripping their trousers, haggard
and mad with, terror. -
"Would that all the mothers In
France who had lost a son in the war
could have seen that epic sight. They
would have seen themselves revenged
and It would have been some consola
tion to them in their sorrow."

TOKIO, July 21. (By the Associated
Press.) Advices received here from
Irkutsk are to the effect that former
German prisoners. In the guise of in

the Soviet government of that city.

complexion of the Russian question.

that the question of intervention must
be handled with the greatest delicacy,
but it is generally agreed that matters
have reached a crisis. Japanese inter

For 14 years the Kilwr waa my patient.
All I know of him and all that b told me
cam to me while the relation, of patient
and dentist existed between us.
For that reason I felt at first that, no
matter how vital to the allied cause might
be the Information 1 could give as to the
Kaiser's viewpoint, ambition and plans, the
requirement of professional ethics must seal
my lips and compel ma to withhold It from
the world at large.
When, however, I considered the grave
crisis that confronts the world in which
my own country Is playing so important a
Part, and realized that what 1 knew of the
Kaiser might prove of some value to my
country. I concluded that my patriotic duty
was paramount and rose superior to any of
the ordinary demands of professional ethics.
In this conclusion I was strengthened by
the urgent solicitation of the leaders of my
profession, who were most emphatic In their
contention that my ethical qualms were en
tirely, unwarranted in view of all the cir
cumstances. ARTHUR N. DAVIS.

"AMERICA MUST BE PUBLISHED."
When war broke out between the
United States and Germany, on April C,
1917, I was in Berlin. I bad lived and
practiced my profession, as a dentist
there for 14 years, and the Kaiser had
been one of my patients during all that
time. '
I don't khow exactly how many visits
the Kaiser paid me- professionally, but
I know I anj. afe In saying they were

are they were closer, to 160. Almost
Invariably, after my work was done.
the Kaiser remained anywhere from 10
minutes to An hour and a half to dis
cuss the topics of the hour with me,
and in that way we developed a more
Intimate acquaintanceship than might
otherwise have been possible.

many, therefore, while I waa still an
American citizen aa patriotic an
American, I believe, as might be found
anywhere I had lived In Germany so
long, had developed so many profes
slonal friendships in Germany' most
favored circles and was so generally
regarded as a particular favorite of the
Kaiser himself, that I found it hard
to realize that nevertheless I had be
come an alien enemy.
Difficulty Not Expected.

police authorities ' that It would be
necessary for me to report every day

BEACH CROWD SEES ATTACK
Summer Resorters Entertained
Hour and Half With One
sided Battle.
ORLEANS, Mass., July " 21. A
shell from a German submarine
landed today within 100 yards of the
shore here. This took place in the
course of a one-sided fight between
a giant U-boat and a tug and its tow
of four barges.
Several residents reported shells
falling on shore, but none of these
stories could be verified. The near
est shell struck, so far as known.
within 100 yards of the beach in Nau
set harbor.
U-Boat of Largest Type.
Most of those on board the vesseli
attacked and fishermen on shore;
agreed that the submarine was 400
feet long.
The submarine attacked the tu
Perth Amboy, of the Lehigh Valley
Railroad, and her jtour barges three
miles off this town on the southeast
ern elbow of Cape Cod at 10:30 A. M.
today. .
The one-sided battle lasted an hour
and a half. The tug was burned to
the water's edge by shell fire. The
barges were sunk by gun fire.
The barges were bound from Glou
cester for New York and one was
loaded with stone.
Three Men Wounded.
Of the 41 persons, including three
women and five children on board,
three men, Captain Charles Ainslie,
of the barge Lansford, and John Bo
lovich and John Vitz, Austrian mem
bers of the tug crew, were wounded.
Bolovich will probably lose an arm.
Vitz had one hand blown off. Captain
Ainslie was wounded in both arms by
shrapnel.
The attack was witnessed by large
crowds of natives and Summer visi
tors who had flocked to the cape for
the week-end, seeking relief from the
heat wave.
German Marksmanship Bad.
All accounts agreed that the subma
rine's ' shooting , was very bad. Her
torpedo work was r.o better. Accord
ing to Captain Ainslie she launched
three torpedoes at the tug and all
went wild. '
The attack was made only a few t
miles from the naval aviation station
at Chatham. Three seaplanes attacked
the raider with bombs. The fire was
returned but the U-boat submerged
and was last seen heading south.
Raid Profits Light.
Tonight the tug was still afloat and
it was thought she could be saved.
The net result of the raid was the
sinking of barges valued in the aggre
gate at $90,000", and the serious dam
aging of a tug valued at $100,000, at
the expenditure oi" three torpedoes
which it is estimated cost the German
