With the French Armies on the Marne, June 5.Amer
ican machine gunners killed at least a thousand Germans
in Chateau-Thierry, it was estimated today by French
military authorities.
The Yankee gunners, during the battle for the city,.
fired tens of thousands of machine gun bullets into tr.e
place. The city's streets are filled with German bodies. .
In the repulse of the Germans by Franco-American
forces at Jaulgonne the enemy attacked three times bo

June 5. The Americana opposing the
German drive between the Ourcq and
the Marne, after repulsing thrqa enemy
assaults, wer, driven out of tho village
of Neuilly by a fourth thrust, Monday
afternoon, according to official reports
received, at American headquarters.
This was I the -fourth enemy attack
within sight hours. But before the boche
could consolidate-..: their- positions, the
American suddenly swept forward in
a orilliant -counter attack, hurling the
Comans out of the village and driving
fiem back a kilometer and a half (near
ly a mile) to the eastward. The enemy
suffered heavy losses.
Hie Americans, operating with the
i'rtuth on the south bank of the Marne,
threw back a German infantry battalion
v.liirh had forced tho first passage of
tlii' river at a bridge near Jaulgonne.
Ae the llun infantry retreated, the en
emy artillery began a terrific bombard
ment of the bridge with shrapnel.
Tespite th barrage, a group of Amer
ican engineers walked out on the bridge
fi id calmly placed explosive charges
near its center. As they withdrew, the
li dge was blown up, effectually cir
t:uiiventing another enemy crossing. "
American machine gunners, who were
rushed into the battle on motor trucks,
effectively covered the operations of
the combined Anirican and French forc

be known emphatically that the navy
will not be diverted from its main task

Allied Line Reported Holding
Firmly at Every Con-

THEIR LAST RESERVES
ONLY. GERMAN HOPE
Seventy Divisions Have Al
ready Been Employed In
Latest Offensive
By Henry Wood
(United Press Staff Correspondent) .
With the French Armies In The Marne
June 5. The Germans have been com
pletely checked in the new battle of the
Marne.
Following the successful resistance to
all enemy attacks yesterday and Mon
day the battle has now reached a point
where the allies are holding the Ger
mans on the entire front between Noyon
and Chateau-Thierry, Any serious cf
fort to advance elsewhere on the front
apparently has been abandoned.
.Further progress by the Hun is un
likely, unless they throw in their last
reserves. With a total of 210 divisions,
(2,520,000 men) on the west front, the
Germans are now employing nearly 70
divisions (480,000 to 600,000 men) be
tween Rheims and Switzerland. And,
having engaged about 50 divisions in
the present battle between Noyon and
Rheims, they still have many divisions
in reserve.
The present week undoubtedly will
develop whether Ludeudorff intends to
eueasc these last reserves in the pre
sent drive &nd wake this the decisive
battle or will allow the present bat
tle to become stabilized and hold theso
reserves for a fresh drive elsewhere.
In tho latter event, he would again
seek to obtain the advantage by a third
surprise attack toward Amions or the
coast, or some other objective calcul
ated to give decisive results.
The new battle of the Marne can
be divided into five sectors, where the
Germans are now obliged to concentrate
their efforts toward any further ad
vance. Sector one is on the extreme right of
the German line, south of Noyon. It con
sists of high wooded hills in the region
of Carlepont, barring access to the Olsc,
The. enemy is trying to capture these

New York, June 5 Bringing stories
of Prussian piracy e,t America's very

Eva B. Douglas Slipped through the
fog into New Y'ork harbor today with
250 survivors of the liner Carolina,
submarined off Cape May.
There wore 15o passengers and 94
of the crew aboard, including Captain
Barbour tuid ten army officers from
the military training 'school at San
Juan, Porto Rico.
The schooner came in towed by a
tug and with U. S. patrol boat "507"
alongside to guard it against German
naiuos which might have attacked ev
en the rescuo ship.

Hoarse sirens rumUed a greeting to
the schooner as it passed the subma
rine net at Tho Narrows aind proceed
ed glowily up tho bay. Men and women,
who had the courage to ing "The
Star Spangled1 Banner" as the U-boat
shelled the Carolina lined the rail of
the Douglas as at nearcd' its Brooklyn
dock where automobiles were ready,
driven by volunteers of the womens
motor corps. Red Cross workers took
immediate charge of 'the survivors and
hurried them to hospitals and hotels.
Some of tho weaker ones were near
collapse from the effects of ,their ex
periences Sunday night when a thun
der storm canio up and drenched the
figures huddling in the lifeboats. It
was in this storm that one boat over
turned and only nineteen of its 35 oc
cupants survived. The rest were swept
aiway aind perished.
Those landed here today were found
in their open -boats drifting off Barne

sea. All of ther Carolina's complement
is now believed accounted for except
the sixteen lost in the storm and elev
en more who have not yet been check

Wireless Operator'! Story
E. W, Nogel, 19, of Patterson, N. J.,

Stronger than ever is bargain day
eomin? again to Salem and the date
this year is Saturday June 15.
Bargain day one year ago was voted
the greatest affair of the kind ever
produced in the city and its fanio went
to tho furthermost art of tho state.
It put Saleih on the nuty as having tho
livcHt bniH-h of meichants on the const
and the Sulcui business men lived up
to- the occasion by offering bargains
that more than gave satisfaction.
But what was done last year is real
ly nothing compared to what the mer
chants expert to do at the coming an
nual bargain day sale. The Statesman
and Cpital Journal have agreed to co
operate With the local merchants in
making good June 15 and in making
that date the greatest bargain day in
tho history of the city. .
So successful was the bargain day of
one year ago that requests have con
tinually come to the merchants here
for jus one more day when not one
store but when nil the energetic mer
chants in the city will offer bargains
worth coming after.
The following is a list of the mer
chants who are cooperating to make Sa
