Arrive In Port
f rNBWTORK,' June 5. The schooner De Sauss was found float
123 off the Delaware capes this morning:, bottom up. She had been
torpedoed. This is the first instance known where the raiders used
torpedoes on, their victims. The crew of the schooner Samuel C.
liengel has arrived and reported their vessel was sunk 175 miles off
New York on Sunday. Fishermen arriving from Cape May said two
more vessels had been sunk in that vicnity, but there is no conforma
tion of the story. . There was heavy firing last night along the New
Jersey coast. The schooner Eva B. Douglass arrived with 250 Caro
lina survivors, including 156 passengers. The survivors told graphic
stories of how they floated throughout the night in the open sea, and
how sixteen drowned when the' motorboats capsized. Most of the
survivors aboard the Douglass escaped in eight small boats. A girl
from a capsized launch drifted throughout the night clinging to her
fiance who had grasped a floating spar. The morning revealed her
fiance dead, the eirl still clinging to the corpse. Many of the sur
vivors were exhausted and hysterical. The Red Cross took them in
charge. The Carolina s owners said that ten passengers and seven
teen of the crew, including those lost from a launch, were still miss
ing. ' . .. ' . ' . ... -.
WASHINGTON, June 5. Officials have warned submarine at

Advance Rccrded as One of the
Feats of the War's History
PARIS, June 5. French authorities estimate that American ma
chine gunners killed a minimum of 1,000 Germans at Chateau
Thierry, the streets being Jittered with German dead. The Ameri
can's arrival at the Marne front and their check of the German ad
vance were feats only surpassed in the war's history by Gallieni's
army which saved Paris in the 1914 Marne battle.

LATEST BULLETINS
WASHINGTON, June 5. Secretary Daniels today made - the
statssnent that the "great duty of the navy is to keep the door open
to France so our men and supplies can be sent across. This is the
great task that will be accomplished successfully and at all hazards."
sThe government's scorn of the German raiders was evidenced when
it was ordered that insurance rates to officers and crews of mer
chantmen be reduced from 25 to 15 cents per $100.

PARIS, June 5. The Germans continue their violent attacks on
the western and Marne fronts, but are making no gains. They as
saulted the village of Chesy, but were driven back with the heaviest
losses. Local fighting last night occurred five miles south of Noyon t
and north of the Aisne. French machine guns stopped two attacks
in the Autreches region and other attacks were repulsed east of Dom-'
miers, near Corey. North of Corey the French tanks and infantry
rectified the French lines around .the Villers-Cotterets forest, where
violent fighting had been progressing for three days. There is now.
heavy artillerying north of the Aisne and around Rheims. The Brit
ish repulsed German raiders 'south of Morlandcourt and imprisonered

" WASHINGTON, June 5.- "The

official Cologne Gazette in the latest

the " newspaper explains, comes from a
reliable source. J
"These troops,'' the Gazette continues,
"were sent to France in the main part
during the summer and fall of last. year.
Since then the transportation of men
has practically ceased, owing to the
ever increasing lack of tonnage.

"Throughout the United States a

"The equipment of the army is very
poor, the lack of warm clothing ac

To the Democratic Voters of the
of Nevada:
I herewith announce myself as a can
didate for the office of Surveyor Gen
eral of the state of Nevada, on the
Democratic ticket, at the primary elec
tion to be held on the Sth day of Sep
tember, 1918.
In seeking the nomination for ' this
important office I am mindful of the
imporance of its duties and its manage
ment and- business dealings with the
people of the entire state.
In the event of my nomination and
election I pledge myself to a strict ob
servance of all laws governing the con
duct of the office, fair and courteous
treatment to all who may have business
with the Office and strict impartiality
will ' be . observed, as I believe that
public officer is a servant of all, the
people. It shall be my endeavor, at all j
times, to have the approval of the pub
lic generally and to that end efficiency
will be my constant aim.
Hoping nty candidacy may have the
endorsement of the men and women of
the state, I beg to remain, very re
spectfully, ' .

Late yesterday afternoon, while re
pairing the lines on a telephone pole in
the northern section of the city, Henry
Karge, chief lineman for the telephone
company, fell from the pole and receiv
ed injuries which will incapacitate hjrn
for a number of weeks.
Without safety straps Karge had as
cended the pole to a height of ten or
twelve feet, when a current passing
through the wire, caused by lightning
striking the line at some unknown point,
partially paralyzed him causing him to
let go his hold. He fell to the ground,
striking on his left side.
Parties who saw the accident imme
diately ran to his assistance and called
Dr. Maclean, who took him to his
home.
An examination proved that no bones
were broken, but there are bad bruises
and probable strains of the tendons
about the hips and legs. Karge's fin
gers were also badly burned.
