persons on the vessel. Three men

KEN.NEMINKPOHT, lie., July 24.
Four men landed in a dory at Cape
1'orpolso last night and reported that
their fishing schooner, the Robert
mid Rlchnril, of Gloucester, had been
Blink by a German submarine on
Casne Bank, llo miles southeast of
Cape Porpoise, at 10:30 o'clock yes-
torday morning. Other dories were
coming In behind them, they said
The schooner had Just stocked up
TV I 111 halibut for the Huston market.
Jloinli Sunk Craft.
The men said that the schooner
liad been lilt by a bomb. Tho sub
marine, they stated, came out of the
water a few hundred yards distant
and sent a shell screaming over their
liow. The crew promptly swung the
schooner up into the wind and took
to their boats. Then the raider sent
a boat aboard the schooner, appar
ently took only her papers, placed a
bomb and loft her. A few minutes
later an explosion sent the trim little
knockabout to the bottom. No other
ships were In sight nt the time as
tho submarino was last seen going
south on the Biirface.
Attacked Off Vhhhb Hunk.
The schooner had Just stocked 100,
000 pounds of fish. All her dories
had been recalled and she was head
ed for Boston when tho submarine
. Intercepted her Just as she left Cassc

On the northern side of the Manic
American and French troops met kcv
crul strong (icrimin attacks to wliie
they responded wilh vigorous eounter
nttacks, as n result of which the nl
lied line again was advanced. The
Americans made their gains in heavy
fighting near I'arhillon wood. On the
eastern side of the salient the French
and liritish advanced an average of
one ilomcler. The llrilish increased
the number of prisoners taken in
three days to 1,1(1(1 by capturing :i(l(l.
Approximately 18(1,111111 dead,

July 24. In spite of desperate ef
forts of the (lennans to bring up re
serves mid slahilie the lines on each
side of the salient from Suissons to
Rliciius, the allies nw pressing for
ward in vital sections on the front
south of Soissnns and near Rheiins.
From unofficial sourees it is re
ported that the rainy weather of the
last few days has slowed up the fight
ing between Soisson sand Rheiins and
probably also has retarded the (!er
man retirement from the bag in
whieli the crown prince's forces were
ciiut'lit by General M.ingin's thrust
against the western side of (he sal
ient. Allied nirmne reports the con
ditions hack of the (ii-nann lines as
indicative of a (ieiniin retreat us far
north as (he Vcsle river. The line
of the ()iirci has been virtually ren
dered unlenuble by I lie allies' advance

Noissoiw' I'nte Keulcil
Just south of Soissnns the French
and Auiericnns have reached the
western hank of the ('rise river.
Should the ullies succeed in crossing
the ('rise and in gaining the pla
teaux east of that st renin, German
occupation of Soisson sK-oiild prob
ably he shortlived. Such an ndvanc
would probably compel eventunl re
tireuicnt by the Germans to the Aisne
river. For this reason the allied ef
forts I forge eastward of Huzancy

Heavy artillery fire and hundreds
of machine funs form the backlioni
of the German defense. This has
tended to slow up the allies hut has

AMSTKRDA.M, July 24. Tele
graphing from the Alsne-Marne bat
tle front Tuesday evening the corres
pondent of the Wolff bureau, the
semi-official German news agency
says:
"Continuing their attack between
Ihe Alsne and the Marne, the French
for the first time employed American
cannon fodder in comparatively large
numbers, as an addition to their
Senegalese auxiliaries.
Dense masses of blacks nnd
Amorlcans were hurled against the
German line. They paid for it In
some hundreds of thousands-of killed
negroes and Americans. In some
places they advanced to attack six
teen waves deep. One wave after
the other broke down in the German
artillery and machine gun fire.
Says Vniikis Itau
'On the third day the American
Infantry began to halt at the rirst
rush, throwing themselves down as
soon as tho German artillery com
menced. When the firing continued
they retired rapidly so that at times
their attack became a hurried flight.
'On many occasions the German
Infantry stood up In the trenches and
while standing there received the
Americans with salvos of rifle fire.
In the attack on July 21 Amer
ican battalions of the second division i
advancing thru tho ravine of Visio- I
neux were caught In the fire of Ger
man machine guns which covered the
ravine. They immediately turned
about and fled.
'American casualties on July 19
ana 2U, especially officers, were ex
ceptionally severe. Prisoners say
some regiments were annihilated."

WASHINGTON, July 24. The
Wolff bureau dispatch purporting to
picture tremendous sacrifices among
the American troops In the great of
fensive is characterized by officials
here as pure propaganda.
Any statement that any particular
class ot troops has been picked for
sacrifice Is said by officials to be al
most unworthy of notice.
When tho American casualty list
begins to come In officials are confi
dent It will not be Inconsistent with
the results nor with the sacrifices of
the French.
If tho hundreds of thousands of
dead pictured In tho German dis
patches Is meant to refer to Amer
icans only, its utter Incredibility ap
pears at once, for there are not more
than 300,000 Americans engaged all

(Xight.) Some of the hardest fighting-
on the whole battle front now is

The Highlanders attacked south of
the Ardre against Courton Wood.

the wood nnd established themselves
on the western border. They took
St. Knplirnse and Homily on Monday,
and then attacked again south of the
Ardre.
The line tonight runs roughlv
along the railway from Xanteul to
Chateau Thierry. The Germans are
using artillery on both sides of the
Ourcri nnd their front is thick with
machine gun nests.
There was fighting between Ihe
Americans and the Germans on the
crests north of the Marne.
