VT U.S. SUBMARINE J HIT BY MISTAKE Allied Ship Fires as Under sea Boat Appears on Surface NO CASUALTIES RESULT Captain Thought American Vessel Was Enemy Prepar ing to Attack Him Tiy the Associated Press AVnililnctnn, July 25, Mistaken evidently for the Oorman submersible which has been operating off the Xorth Atlantic coast, an American submarine oC the latest type was fired upon and slightly damaged by an armed vessel In the New England wafers last Tuesday. N'o one nboa'rd the submarine was Injured and the craft has reached pert pafely. The Navy Departments announce ment today 'Hid not reveal the Identity or nationality of the armed .vessel, but it was understood that It was an Allied transport. Unofficial reports were that the submarine had been running sub merged and came to the BUrface near the armed ship. The latter opened Are and had scored one hit before the Amer ican craft made known Its Identity. The shell penetrated the outer hull of the submersible, but did not explcde. Nnvy Department Statement The only official detallp were con tained In this statement by the 'avy Department: "The Navy Department Is Informed that a United States submarine was fired on by mistake by an armed mer chant voseld on July 23 off the Ameri can coast. One shell penetrated the outer hull of the submarine, but did not explode. No material Injury was done, only a small section of shell plating being damaged. No one aboard was In jured and the submarine proceeded to her bate under her own power." Had the shell exploded after entering the outer hull,-it was said, the submarine probably would have been destroyed. Ah it wao the inner hull eldently was not damaged and the submarine will be ready for service again as soon as, the damaged outer hull plates can be re placed. Previous Incident Recalled This was the first incident of Its kind to occur in American waters, so far as has been announced, but it Is not the first since the United States entered the war, Last October the American gun boat Nashville while on patrol duty in the Mediterranean fired upon an Italian submarine which failed to promptly an swer ylgnals' for Identification. One man aboard the submarine was killed, but the vessel reached port. Lieutenant Commander Hrnest Frled rlck, commanding the Nashville, was ordered reduced thirty numbers in grade by the naval court which tried him and the sentence was approved by Secretary Daniels, despite the fact that the Italian Government officially Interceded In be half of the officer and the court recom mended clemency ana also that the of' fleer be commended for his zeal. By the Associated Press Boston, July 25. The unknown armed ship sighted off Nantucket Sunday morn ing by Captain William Price, of the schooner Elizabeth King, of Gloucester, was looked upon with suspicion today by naval officials, some of whom believed it might be a mother snip for German submarines operating off the New Eng land coast. The mysterious ship was seen two hours bejoro a U-bpat attacked the tug Perth Amboynd her tow off Orleans. The strange vessel, with guns fore' and aft, was reported to be in the line of trans-atlantlc travel about twenty miles southeast of Nantucket South Shoal lightship. A full description of the boat which displayed neither flag nor name and carried heavy wireless equipment, was in the hands of the offi cers of the first naval district today and steps vv'ere under way to intercept the craft and determine her status. Captain Price upon reaching Glouces ter last night reported that the ship came within 100 feet of the Elizabeth King and trained its guns upon the schooner but did not hall her. Whep Captain Price spoke to the ship an of ficer replied in a foreign tongue. SLIPS UNDER TRAIN WHEELS CHILDREN AT STARR GARDEN CAPTIVATED BY GOOD HEALTH "MOVIES" -:- Xs 'HVHi'.

Adventures With a Purse FOUND TODAY 1 Unbelleably priced Irish lace me dallion, . Tiny bottle of perfume. S. Georcette blouse with rounded neck. IT IS surprising what a dainty, finished touch Irish lace medallions will add to Mistress Betty's fine white dress, or mother's best lingerie. Edge the dress or combination with plcot, qnd put one or two lace Inserts in the front on each side, and. the result will be a dainty expensive-looking garment at a small price. I say at a small price, and that is quite true, for I found some Irish lace medallions today at an Unbelievably low price. They come in dozen lots, and while formerly priced at seventh-five cents per doien, they now can be secured for thirty-nine cents. In size they are about an Inch and a half by two Inches. Many of us love a faint whiff of perfume on our best frock or daintiest handkerchief, but .sedulously avoid the temptation because we cannot afford to have the best, and will be satisfied with nothing less, , But did you know that emallbottles of extracts can be had for as low as fifteen cents and twenty-five cents? To be sure, they are not very large, but then, only a drop of these ex quisite perfumes is needed. Even the beloved "Mary Garden" may be secured for as low as fifteen cents. I have always thought that if ever I were to have a shop all of my own, I would have a blouse shop. Waists were ever irresistible from the severe tailored models to the gay, frilly little affairs that one wears wfth one's very best suit. Take for Instance the pale pink georgette blouse I saw today. It Is one of the new round-necked models, with a series of very fine tucks down the front. Pearl buttons adorn each shoulder, and the general effect is most charming. And the price, If you please, Is only (3. h For the names of shops where ar- i roentlonul In "Adventures with 'tx prefeaed, address' Lcry cummer motion pictures illustrating methods to check the spread of the "great while pl.ipuc" arc shown in different sections of the city.

Acio&x the field with the I shrllholes ho thick that one could step I from one to another, I reached the rocky edgo of the wood Here, In machine gun .'msltlons, twenty Germans had been slaughtered Hero and there was stuck j up a rifle and bnynnct lock, making a I rros.s marking the gf.ue of some ma rines. In the middle of the field l.iv tho carcass of a cow, perhaps peacefully rl'.nslrir. i limi Ilia ,?, tinrl -,i,l.. n v.. Man's Land of her pasture. Along the edge of tho woods lay bodies of horses caught hy the German machine guns It was uncanny to go thtough tlw-c woods which now hae a place In Amer ican history Every other tree was cut off by shellllre Not a square foot nf ground but bore marks nf fighting Ger man machine guns In cleioily concealed nests stood with the bodies of bodies lying across them Just where they fell a month ago. Carnage and ltnln l'lcrywliere Hero weie the remains of a kitchen which had served Its last meal; here the ruined dugout through the wrecked door of which nno could see fle Ger man bodies ljlng where one of ntir T.Vs had got them while sleeping Here lay a box of unused hand grenades; hore a pile of ammunition which had never killed marines; there lav a cache of de caying food; hero, theie and every where, carnage In profusion, whei,. the Germans had tried In aln to halt the Americans. Near the northern edge of the wood was a large rock and scattered about It lay the remains nf a German airplane, which bad hit squarely after some Al lied aviator had sent a bullet through Its pilot. Parts of the airplane had been scattered fifty feet in every -direction Here lay the body of an Amer ican, which had not been found In time tn bury. We spread a shelter half oer It and, sticking his bayonet In the ground, hung his steel hat on It, so he would be found and ghen a decent grave AMERICANS PUSH STEADILY FORWARD RECAPTURE VILLAGES ABOVE MARNE Continued from Tare One , from the line running In front of Jaulgonne and Chartcues on the right bank of the Marne. This progress was made in the face of most obstinate resistance by the Germans, who fought back everv foot. Even when making steps backward they endeavored to render our prog ress costly hy leaving behind German machine gunners cleverly concealed In nests. These gunners were not told that the main body was withdrawing, and were left at the mercy of the ad vance. Severnl of them when cap tured expressed unfeigned surprise when told that their comrades had withdrawn. The fighting for possession of the major part of the Bojs du Chatelet was hiSIu1.'?' feVer0' "lonclng great difficulty in several sallies Into the woods the French troops moved around to the north, taking rtocourt and the Americans moved around to the south, between the edge of the woods and Bezu St. Germain. With machine guns playing on the woods, as well as American light artillery, the G,ermans by last night were well cleared from their vantage place. Hard Fighting In Wood This was one of a series of positions, forming the German line, established Tuesday night after their withdrawal north from the Marne. The Americans also had bitter fight ing in part of the forest of Barblllon. Soldiers who were In the fight tell me the Germans had a machine gun for every ten yards of the front. The German- artillery made it especially dlffl. cult for us to send re-enforcements for ward to the fighters, who had to beat their way Into the woods, which were filled with rocky ledges, forming ex cellent nests for enemy machine guns These German gunners, were picked men and those we encountered during the last two days fought with much m.., personal bravery than the majority of" me iov. I went over much of the terrain between ChateaH-Thlerry and' the front line. The villages and fields presented a sorry spectacle. They had been suc cessively targets for German, French and American artillery fire. In many fields there were not not ten" square feet of ground that did not have its gaping shellhole. The villages were wrecked, seemingly beyond repair, and In many clumps of woods two out of three trees had been shot down. Along many roads German ammuni tion was piled high, as well as other war material. The haste with which the Germans withdrew Is shown by the fact that at one place we found a com plete telephone system, switchboard and all. in perfect condition. The gigantic task of moving men and equipment forward has not given our soldiers time to bury the German dead, and who are strewn along the roads, and especially In the woods. One Amer ican heavy shell had landed among a group of Germans loading ammunition Into a truck. The debris nf the Ger mans, the exploded ammunition and tho truck still remains where the shell struck tho outfit. It Is necessary for a country to have such ruin upon Its roll to lenllze what war is, necessary for the people to have their homes shot to dust and ruin to know what the strugglo Involves. But the French spirit, indomitable and brave, is unshaken. French Folk a Game Lot Witness, for Instance, the civilians I saw working today in Chateau-Thierry mending the holes In their houses and clearing away wreckage where nothing worth while was left of the places held so dear. Scattered in all parts of France In the first days of June when the Ger mans took Chateau-Thierry, as soon as the word went out that the French ann Americans had recaptured their home town, back they came to take up their life where the hated boche. hail inter rupted it. They are a game lot, these French folk, the tamest in the world. They will stick to the end. To the Americans In France the war so far Is more or less of a great ad venture. To the French in France it is a sterner and uglier reality. The Amer ican fighting men are bearing the blows of war in France, but in the French people as well as In the soldiers who have bprne the blows of war In France for four'long years, the spirit of France Is strong. It must come as no disappointment to America that her soldiers are not moving ahead sc fast as tiey did last Thurs day. Then they took tho Germans by surprise. Now the Germans have put up their reserves, have reorganized and are doing their best to keep from going backward further. It should be a source of greatest satis faction to the American people, a source of the greatest confidence in their fight ing men. and of tho greatest faith In General Foch, General Pershing and Gen eral Petaln, that the Allied troops, de spite the best resistance the German high command can make are still, able to push forward, even though the pace be slower. The American divisions are doing all their generals expect of them, and, that should be all their country ex pects.

' Wednesday I went over the territory captured by our troops northwest and north of Chateau-Thierry in their vic torious advance. I saw places that had been villages Belleau.Torcy-, Bourcsches and so on. The he.-jvy hand of war has wiped away all semblance of habitable places and left desolate the dusty ruins of stone and mortar. The village that sheltered COO to 1000 souls is now but pileB of debris. I saw dead Germans in profusion, lying where they fell and died. I saw the bodies of Americans who died to save France and civilization from those Germans. Going north from the wreckage of Lucy I.o Socage, I could not resist the Impulse to go through the Bols de Bel leau, where I had been during the fight ing a month ago which prevented much YOU'LL LAUGH !
