Navy Department Takes Little

WASHINGTON, June 11. The
captain of a tlrnzillan svani'T,
which arrived nt an Atlantic port
brought tlio Information that an
American transport llrcd sovernl

coast. This fact, forwarded, tn tho
Navy Department tu-day, ellclt-d tho
statement that this was the only
sourco reporting tho Incident and tlmt
It was quite llKoiy uie nring was

Incidentally tho American naval

Reports rrom the survivors of the
steamer I'lnar del Illo, dustroyed by-
German submarlno off tho Virginia
coast, that tho onomy raiders were
accompanied by a mother ship found
no confirmation at the Navy Depnrt
ment. Omclals believe, however, that
tno raiders migni use a captureit ves
sel loaded with supplies to prolong
their stay off the coast.
As the situation stands to-day, the
Navy Department is convinced tha
no base exists along the Atlantic
coast, and that the raid Is In the mi
ture or a single ram, -mere is no
doubt that It may bo repeated at any
time. ,

On Sunday Uio crew was on the

About tho tlmo the steamer started

Tho U boat kopt up a continuous

tlllcry duel.
Men on the steamer do not believe
they succeeded in planting n shot In
tho siibniailue, but they do bollovo

The crew of tho steamer were In
high glee over thejr encounter with
the submarine. Their ship was welt
rmcd and had plenty of ammunition.
hey say they would not have feared

but tlutlr mission was such that to
escape possible sinking wus tho better
part of valor.

The steamer sighted what' her
captain took to bo two submarines i
off tho New Jersoy coast. Theso u
boats mudo no attompt to attack tho

Kvldonco from several quarters to
day tended to confirm the story of a
mother ship for tho German sub
marines operating off tho coast, and
patrol vessels, biff and little, arc seek
ing a mysterious steamer with one
funnel, painted dull erny, and of
about 6,000 tons.
The most convincing story of tha
U boat consort comes from officers
on tho American freighter l'inur del

"Wc could see the glare from the

The dinlcultles confronting the
enemy are very great In the nature
of the country he has now entered In
his now drive. The terrain comprises
sharp hills, deep valleys and thick
woods. Where his most pronounced
progress has been made, in the cen
tre of the battlellcld, tho ground
forms a sort of hollow through which
runs the main road from Senlls to

Hid more damage to themaelvaa
than to the Allies.
The Hermans arc apparently trying
to Increase the rapidity of their ad
vonce by ignoring th losses they
sustain, the object being to acquire
possession of iih much territory -as
possible before the Allies nro able tn
stabilize the front. Kadi division
seems to have received orders to go
nhoad heedless of what the others ate
accomplishing.
While attempting to do this the
Hermans aio coming under the flro of
tho Allied batteries mid groups of
machine guns, which possess the ac
curate ranges of all points.
This tierce opposition offered bv the
Allied troops appears to havo discon
certed the Herman high command
which expected tu bo .idIo to reduce
the Allied salient around Noyon much
more- easily.
Indications show that somo of the
enemy divisions which started tho at
tack arc already being withdrawn from
the line liecaus" of tho severity of
their casualties and arc being replaced
by fresh units.
This new battle Is entirely different
I In Its chatactcrlstlc features from
' cither the offenslvo of March or that
1 of May. Tho attack along the Mont-
dldler-Noyon lino was no surprlso for
, tho Allies, and the Herman forces,
although extremely strong, have not
1 submerged tho defenders as in the
case of tlie go former efforts.
The armies are righting it oui rooi
by foot, and it cannot bo claimed urp
to this writing that the enemy has
gained any deflnlto advantage, despite
the fact of the Indentation he has
made in the Allied line. This was a
very natural result under the tre
