"Proceed as If nothing had happened," came the reply On went the Tyler On went the con voy. Not many were asleep Suddenly, at 2 13 a m the next morning, another torpedo slipped out of the light mist It streaked across the bows of the Tlcr and struck the 8000-ton British ship Franklin No failure to explode about that one. The Franklin blew up vvl'h a roar. Obedient to Instructions the Tvler did not halt to give aid, but kept on going As It passed the Franklin men could be descried on deck cutting away the lifeboats and a cheer for them went up from the Tler. ' Torpedo coming for us," sang out Wllbald from the lookout, while ct they watched the Franklin There was a crash and explosion astern, Just aft of the engines, and the men ran to their stations while the American naval gunners stood to their piece trjlng to get sight of the lurking submarine "Oood night " cried Wllbild a minute or two later, and he began to descend from the lookout "heic comes another" The second torpedo struck amidships, exploded, and the Tjler began to go down activity against the Americana was demonstrated. The Plcardy battle evidently was se vere. Two points of the American ad anced positions were penetrated by the enemy after artillery preparation Then followed the American counter-attack In which tnc enemy was driven out and the Americans entered his line Tho question of how the Allies are prepared to meet the present drive out weighed other considerations toda). One of the best-posted American offi cers stated It as his belief that the Allien are not In a much better position as re gards fighting men than when the Ger mans opened their great offensive In March There has been a certain amount of recruitment, but he doubted If It actually met man for man the Increase In the enemv's strength Whateer may be said of the caliber of many of the troops brought up by German from Rumania nnd other fronts the fact remains that only in the ilr hae the Allies gained a partial su premacy, according to this officer Of course, accurate information Is lacking of the exact disposition of the Allied forces Onlv the highest command knows that and It Is carefully hidden Gi'iuial Maui Ice's chari:e that th" tir of Britain's army on the west fiont was exaggerated was accepted here as having some truth, but It Is believed the situa tion rapidly Is being remedied, nnd that the British arm.

GERMANS CROSS THE AISNE; ALLIES' RESISTANCE STIFF U. S. Troops Win French Sector fnntlnmsl from Pate One barded the American lines before the at tack The Huns also dropped scoies of mustard gas shells along the American front. Acioidlng to mllllarv experts the Ger mans' purpose In attacking the American llqes was to feel out the strength of the French' nnd American force As a result of their curiosity thev got n severe trouncing. The bombardment that preceded the raid was one of the heaviest American tioops have ever felt It Is estimated that 10,000 shells dropped within the merlcan lines Five hundred picked shock troops at tacked In the center and were supported on one side b a force of 120 and on the other bj a force of 160 There were three distinct attacks The first, before Montnlne-sous-Montdldler, was at 6 IB The second and third were launched simultaneous! at 7 30 one to the right of (.'nntlgny nnd the other Again before Kontalnc-sous-Montdldler Take Prisoner from (Irrman In the first attack the retreating Ger mans were taking an American pris oner with them when several of his comrades leaped from the trenches, caught up with the' boches, killed the entire party guarding the prisoncia and brought film back The second assault before Fontalne-sous-Montdldler was as violent as the first, but the enemy was unable to pene trate the American lines. The counter attack then carried the attack into the boche line, which they held for more than an hour . Near Cantlgny the Germans got such a hot reception that they did not at tempt to repeat the assault Observers reported heavy enem losses, artillery, machine gun and rifle fire, cutting down the advancing boches who left a great number of dead in No Man's Land. The three attacks netted the Ameri cans Ave German prlsoneis American positions were considerably mauled by the enemy artlllcr and the troops are working hard to reconstruct them In pieparalion for a resumption of the German assault l'urrril Ilujonrt Fight The fighting was extremely bitter. Opposing forces clashed, hand-to-hand, In the midst of smashed sand bags and caved. In parapets The Germans were loaded down with hand grenadeB, but the Americans rushed to close quarters and forced the enemy to use bayonets Sqldleia declare the Germans were equipped with armored breast plates, which turned aside a baonet thrust unless It were In the neck or stomach. One company, counter-attacking before Cantlgny, penetrated the German lines clear Into the ruins of the Ullage, where they remained until called back.

If the Ad ministration really meant to suppress Wood It went about It In a way to raise the whole Issue and compel itself to deal frankly with the country General Pershing has ordinarily been consulted about the choice of his subordinates and If he desires to have Wood with him In Fiance, the presump tion Is that he can have him If he had asked to hae Wood sent over there there Is little doubt that he would have been sent over Nothing Is known here about Pershing's attitude toward Wood, but It Is unquestionably a potent factor In the situation. Continued from Vntr One British front a number of prisoners were taken in suc cessful raids last night. '"Both artilleries are active at different points." The Germans are pushing their offensive on both the Aisne and Flanders fronts, Field Marshal Haig reported today. Along the Aisne, which was crossed to the left of the Brit ish sector last night, Haig an nounced enemy attacks of great strength are developing on the whole forty-mile front between Soissons and Rheims. The fighting in Flanders, he said, is centered east of Dicke busch Lake, where the Ger mans made temporary gains against the French troops in tne resumption of their diive yesterday morning. Battle ItapitiK The battle resulting from the new German ofTen3ie alone the Aisne River heights, from a point noith of Rheims to the sector of the Pmon foirst (nine miles noithcast of Sois sons) has continued with deadly loss es to the Germans. Both the British and Trench leports of last night admitted slight letiie ments nlonfr the famous Chemm-des- Damcs a highway that sknts the Aisne hills, north of the river while the German War Office in its repoit of Monday claimed the capture of this important load, of Bicat value as a communication line. Passage of the Aisne confirms in pait the German claim as to the Chemin-des-Damcs. Attacking in massed formation after a tremendous bombardment with gas shells, and supported by tanks, the Gcimans were able to push into the Aisne Valley, some of '-he fotccs l caching Pont Arcy. Mile nlnrnus The British forces on the Msne front held part of the line In the Herrv-au-Bn sector where the lighting zone crosses the river from the south to the northwest The Allies In that district fought with mignlllcent valor but the British left flank was compelled, after a desperate struggle, to retire foot bv foot to previously prepired second-line positions The grand Germ in offensive on the western front has now resolved Itseir into n triple drive, with the points of pressure locited as follows First. Along the Flanders front from the Ipre's .sector In Belgium, to a point near Bethune In northern Frairce. becond The Plcardv zone, opposite Amiens Third The Aisne River front north west of Rheims and south of Laon.
