By Navy Department Two Weeks'
Ago ? 14 Ships Now Sunk.
(13y Albert W. Fox.)
Eluding their pursuers despite the
increasing concent rut ion of warcraft
against them and apparently sR'ill
lurking off the Virginia capes, the
U-hoata have claimed yet another v^c
tim. \
The latest report flashed to the
Navy Department lasi night stated
that the British steamer Ilarpathian^
had been torpedoed and sunk 100 miles
off shore at !? o'clock Wednesday morn
ing. Survivors were taken aboard the
steamer Palmer. Only one is injured.'.
The liarputhian was a 4,500 ton Brit(
isu ship inward bound from Europe.'
AIUE FUUT11EK, AT SEA, J
i
i. The new location of the U-boat or
U-boats indicates that they have gone
slightly farther out to sea. The Nor
w.eglan ship Eidsvolt was sunk to
miles *>11' the Viriginia Capes at 5
o'clock Tuesday afternoon.
It y noted that in this case the sub
marine used a torpedo. This may
mean that the British ship was arm
ed and ready to put up a fight. Dc
tails so far are lacking.
This makes the four'eenth ship
known to have been sunk by lb ?
undersea rn'ders. In only one pre
vious case ? tha of the Winneeonne
was i torpedo used. The U-boat com
mamlcrs in most cases have conic
aboard the sh ps placing homlm aboard
and exploded t hem ._ This practice can
only be resorted to with unarmed
vessels .
NAVY DEPAUTM ENT DISTURBED.
It was i ml !osV ed early last. evening
thai disturbing information iluad
reached the Navy Department. There
was a lalo conference between Secre
tary Daniels, Assistant Secretary of
ihe Navy Rooseveli and naval offi
cials. It was int ima'cd that redoubl
ed efforts are being made to eliminate
the raiders.
It is said tbal. the search is being
systematized and that, particular at
tent ion is being directed against tho
possibility of more U-boats coining
to American shores. In Di is connect
ion the Navy Department has been
in .touch with Admiral Sims, com
manding the American naval forces
in European waters. Vessels in the
war zone will cooperate by way of
seeking to prevent other U-boats from
coming out and attempting to trap
the present raiders should they seek
to rot urn to their bases.
MAY CO TO MEXICO. 5
^n- v . . I
It is understood that the search is
being spread southward in the belief
that the submarines may make for
lho Gulf of Mexico. Reports regarded
in naval circles as reliable indicate
I liat the U-boats will attempt to reach
a port in Mexico to claim their right
Ao rciniain 2-1 hours and jje.plcnish
their fuel and supplies.
The Mexican coast is most likely to
be selected it is pohred out because
there are no other convenient possible
ports of call. Mexico being neutral,
would accord the submarines the same
right which the United States accord
ed the 11-5:1 at Newport, It. I., in 1D1G.
SHIPPING WAS WARNED.
It; now develops that the Navy Do
part meat sen! out broadcast warnings
to shipping off the Atlantic coast near
ly two weeks ago stating that it was
reported that U-boats would appear
near the American coast.
These warnings did not contain the
intimation that these reports were
? credited by the government. They
were sent out (however because the
Navy Department has for months
been following a practice of warning
shipping whenever there appeared to be
it "ne slightest foundation for the 1J
boat alarm reports. The last warn
ing it is added was based on informa
t'.on which appeared to be more author
itnfiivo than the previous reports re
ceived .
It was late Saturday thai the Navy
Department sent the warnings out.
broadcast in positive specific terms
confirming the presence of Ike U
boats off t lie coast.
"JIANG TIIE NEGRO RAPIST."
The hideous menace of the Negro
rapist has been brought fo Iowa from
the old south in the crime committed
at ('amp Dodge last. Friday by five
black devils in U. S. army uniform.
The white soldiers were restrained the
story was kept out of the Des Moines
newspapers for three days and then
soil pedaled when it was printed and
there was no mob as then' would have
been in the south but it wf.s because
the White people of this state ihave not
yet learned to realize how close tliis
menace of the Negro rapist hangs
over them at all times when the half
savage African from the hill districts
and wild plantation life of the south
is brought among them.
These Negro troops were brought
nor'h because public sentiment in the
south feared the arming of the denso
ly ignorant. lrtack man. The
man from the J\mgle has remained
truo to his bestial instincts and has
betrayed the friendship or unwarned
indifference of (the whito people of
the north.
An innocent, unwarned country girl
sitting by the public rond within hail
of 30.000 U. S. soldiers and in com
pnny with the boy she had promised
to marry was set upon by five black
fiends !n U. S. uniform. Two burly
Negroes knocked out the white hoy
three dragged the whito girl into tho
bushes and four of them successfully
assaulted her before her compaioti re
gained consciousness and gnvo the
Marin. The guilty men are srjd to be
in custody and the punishinl5h< is life
imprisonment or death.
The kind of colored men who would
do such an awful thing are beyond
reforming in ii prison. lMng U. S.
soldiers they descive the death penal
| ty for their crime and their extinct
ion by hanging is the only punish
men'. that can make society safe from
them. It. is the only thing that will
make innocent black men safe fromi
reprisal by the white race. This gov
eminent has an awful problem on its'
hands in the making of soldiers out!
of half savage blacks from the south
'cm plantations. They destroyed their}
j chance at Hrownsvillc and we'.'O,
I brought north. They will no longer,
havp a fair chance at Camn Hodge and 1
will have ito move on. When a fool;
ish committee put on a colored glee,
club before 10.000 people at the Itoose
volt meeting Monday night the crowd
applauded the singing but every whito
sohl'er in uniform acting as usher
stood stolWl and sullen with his arms
'folded and bate in his heart altho
he knew that tih'o individual black
men before him were guiltless. Tho
race problem fired into flames by
the Negro rapist is a real one within,
the Uni'ed States army today. <

Desperate Street Fighting Occurs in
Shell Torn C'i iij <>/ Soissotts.
London. May 20. ? Throwing in an
enormous number of fresh troops the
Germans today extended and widened
their drive on the Aisne front and
pushed the point of their new salient
which yesterday was at Fisines on the
Vesle river five miles further south,
making the maximum German peno
(ration for the three days seventeen
and a half miles. Soissolis has been
evacuated by the French and occupied
hy the Kaiser's troops and the nam
her of prisoners taken hy the Ger
mans has risen to 25000 including one
Wrench an(| one Hritish General.
The French made desperate efforts
to hold Soissoiis fighting from street
'o street and almost, from house to
house. The struggle continued for
several hours but finally the French
were forced to give up the city and
retire. They still hold the western out
skirts howeveer and fighting contin
lies there.
The hospitals and Hie civilian popu
la (ion were removed Monday when
the city was very heavily bombarded
by tlit* Germans. Merer than 1.200
shells were thrown into the city in
one day. The patients in the hospitals
were removed at once whcnjhe shell
!ng began but the nursing and medi
cal staffs remained until yesterday. ,
TlfiREE COUPS ACROSS
T1I1S |VESI,E.
In tl?o centre the French gavo
ground north of Fere- cn-Tardenois.
At least t a roe German corps crossed '
the Vesle lliver capturing Hraisne and
Fiames. A little to the east the Fran
co ? British troops held their positions
between Broullet and Tilloy; still fur
(her east, near Rbeiins, the Germans
captured Villers Franqueux and Cour
cy ami heavy fighting is now in pro t
gross for the heights of Thierry a
few miles northwest of lthoiins. The
British in this area laic tonight were
forced to retire behind <the Aisne
Canal. There is little hope that the
oil y can he held.
Meanwhile -the French and British
reserves and possibly some Ameri
cans are being rushed up to the criti
eal points, according to the correspon
dents at. the front. I'm; it should bo
noted thai no mention of such a move
meat is made in any of the official
reports. AlofSg the whole battle fr n,'.
which now is about, thirty miles long,
fresh German troops are being fed in
constantly. In places their numerical
superiority over the Allies troops is
more than 10 to 1 but. the British and
French apparently are following the
same tactics which proved successful
in the fighting in Flanders forcing
the Germans to pay an enormous price
for every foot of ground but giving
them the ground when the price had
been paid.
The Associated Press correspond
ent. with French army says that be
sides Boohm's and Von Bnelow's arm
ies many divisions of Von Ilutier's
troops were engaged. Thoao especlall
ly trained units bad participated in
tlie first, rush on March 21 and had
since then been reconstituted.
An enormous number of light ma
chine guns were employed by the Gor
mans as well as a largo fleet of (auks
and much heavy and lig'ai: artillery,
while the German aviators were ex
tremely active.
HOW THIS AISNE WAS CROSSED.
From the plain toward Juvincourt,
Villo-aux-Bois J'ontaverf came into
au-Bac numerous tanks came into
action. For a considerable time the
?bin allied line held out but. as tfho
enemy debouched wave after wave the
French and English almost submorg
ed, fell back slowly getting across the
river. Several British officers after
ward saerifcod their lives in destroy
ins the bridges.
Almost simultaneously overpowering
enemy forces made "icir way ilo the
top of the Ohemin -des-Dames Ridge
and also to the western end of this
road in the neighborhood of ('.having
non and Malmaison and 'the troops
holidug these points were obliged to
recedoe .
The allied movement to the rear
was executed with the greatest precis
ion there was no disorder anfl all the
units kept, in constant liaison.
RESERVES ARE YET INTACT.
In the vicinity of Fismes on the
south bank of the Vesle river there
was heavy fighting in which a British
cycling battalion distinguished itself
beforo rotiring in the faco of over
whelming pressure.
Tlu* fighting of the first few days
although nil one sided, has been inde
cisivo says tlu> correspondent as ?..ne
lCntento allied reserves still have to
play their role. The task of it lie allied
commanders in meeting such a brus
quo attack was most difficult. Now
tiicy are able to act with decision.
Other correspondents assort it is
not too much to say that another for
ty-eight hours will see the Gorman
drive definitely stopped . High praise
is given the French reserves for the
perfect order in which they aro com
ing into the fighting line'.

VIEW OF A FRENCH CRITIC.
A noteworthy point in connection }
with the present great battle Is :hoj
freedom allowed the military critical
In their articles, llenri Hidou for in
stance Is allowed to say in l,e Journ j
al of Paris this morning that it wasl
"certainly distressing that the enemy j
succeeded in recapturing in one day j
our conquests of 1917" an admission i
which it i1* considered virtually cor'
tain Hie nrcvious censorship would j
not have passed.
M !li*lo,i who has established him J
self as one of the soundest and most
conservative of the military writers'
in Franco iijists howc"""* (hat the on
ly truo print of view In the present
circumstances is one taking a goner
al wide outlook and his article inspir
es confidence In the final result which
he forecasts will be a repetlHon of
that incident to Germany's last two
great efforts.
The German success this writer as
sorts is due to the enemy's ability to
manoeuvre his reserves within the
arc. of the front in a way which ad
mits of a crushing mass to be sudden
ly thrown against any weak point.
Hut the enemy's object, he points out Is
not to recapture territory but to ah
tain such a victory as will end the
war,
i i
"A DUEL TO THE DEATH."
j
The Germans. M. Hidou 'recalls
found their violent effort In Plcnrdy
cheeked after they had engaged 111
divisions, while their second effor' in
Flanders cost the service of fifty di
visions. Ho argues that if the enemy
had no: pursued the logical course of
following up those two partial success
es it is cer'a'nly because he is unable
to do so owing to the terrific cost in
men, which is forcing him to place in
line recruits born in the firsJ half of
the year 1000.
"It is a duel ito the dealt h" he eon
eludes "and every hour in which Ger
many fails to obtain the decision in
ere mes the imminence of her defeat"
M'll'ary critics in the Berlin press
admit they wore surprised by the
choice of the Chcniin des Dames for
the new German offensive and they as
Met' I it is obvious the Entente allied
commanders likewise were surprised.
The critics believe that exhausted
British divisions recently were as
signed to the Champagne positions oh
v.iously to permit them to have need
od rest and the commentators are ju
hilant over the assumption that the
?reserves of Gen. Foch are far away.
The Gorman newspapers give alleged
statements of British and French pris
oners admitting their surprise was
complete.
CALLED A DYNASTIC VICTORY
Tho Gorman newspapers are already
applauding (lie advance of (lie Crown
Prince's army as u dynastic victory
for (hoVllohen/.ollerns but (he corre
spondents show (hal he has Rained no
stronger line than thai which lie
already held. Ai (he same dime tho
enemy by extending ibe battle lino,
has seriously dispersed his forces all
of which must he fed with a ration
oss constantly higher than that of the
defenders. Tho active front is now
100 miles long.
Observers are agreed that (he loss
es of (ho Allies are comparatively
small. Their retirement was dellbor
ate and was carried out. in good or
der.
In Flanders and Picardy there was
n*> action of more than a minor char
afver. A local attack north of Rem
ind, in t lie Ypres district was renuls
ed by (be French Field Marshal Ilaig
reports tonight. The British made n
successful raid lust night southeast,
of Arras taking some prisoners and
a machine gun. A Herman vS tack bo
(ween Cfvenchy and La Bassee was
easily repulsed by 'he British as was
also an a( tempt made by t lie Kaiser's
(roops south of the Yprcs-Comlncs
Canal .
