SATURDAY EVENING,
TROOP SHIP ON
WAY HOME IS
SUNK BY SUB
Transport Covington Torpe
doed in War Zone After
Landing Soldiers
WimliliiKton, July 6.—The United
States Army transport Covington,
homeward bound with a fleet of troop
ships convoyed by American destroy
ers, was torpedoed in the war zone
last Monday night and sank the next
day while an effort was being made
to tow her to port. Six men of the
crew are missing, but the others,
with the officers, were landed at a
French port. No soldiers or passen
gers were aboard.
The missing men are:
Anderson. Ernest C., fireman, Lynn.
Mass.
Bowden. Joseph P. seaman, Moun
tain Lake. N. J.
Ford. Ambrose C., fireman, Somer
. vllle. Mass.
Lynch, William Henry. Jr., fireman.
Manchester, N. H. •
Payne, Albert S., seaman. West New
Brighton, Staten Island. N. Y.
Sllvernail, Lloyd H., seaman, Bain
bridge, N. H.
in announcing last night the sink
ing of the Covington, formerly the
Hamburg-American liner Cincinnati,
the Navy Department said that the
submarine which sent a torpedo
crashing into the ship's side just for
ward of the enginerooin at 9.17
o'clock was not sighted.
Although Vice-Admiral Sims' mes
sage did not go into del'ils. officers
here said that the submarine was on
the surface recharging batteries
when the convoy came along and
that it submersed immediately after
discharging the torpedo without at
tempting further attack on the fleet.
L-lluiit SiiluiicrKcd Quickly
The theory that the submarine
made off in haste would seem to be
borne out by the fact that the trans
port's crew was transferred to one
of the destroyers without apparent
incident.
Some surprise was caused by the
fact that the submarine did not re
turn after the fleet had proceeded and
undertake to finish the sinking of the
Covington.
The Covington the first Amer
ican transport to^ 6 sunk while in
convoy, the former Hamburg-Amer
ican liner President Lincoln and the
former Morgan liner Antilles, the only
other American transports sunk in
the war zone having been destroyed
when returning home without the
protection of war craft.
Few details were given in the Navy
Department's announcement, and
there was no explanation of Admiral
Sims' report that none of those from
the Covington who were landed at a
French port was "seriously injured."
Apparently some of them were hurt,
probably in being transferred to the
destroyer in a choppy sea, but evi
dently Admiral Sims did not give the
number.
"The torpedo struck just forward
of the engineroom bulkhead," said the
Navy Department's announcement,
"and the engineroom and firerooms
were rapidly flooded. With its mo
tive power gone, the vessel was help
less, and, facing the possibility of
the torpedoing of another ship in the
convoy, the Covington was tempor
arily abandoned. This was done in
excellent order and the officers and
crew were taken on board a destroy
er. The submarine was not seen.
"At daybreak the captain, several
officers and a number of members of
the crew returned to supervise sal
vaging operations. Another vessel
and two tugs took the Covington in
tow in an effort to get her to port,
but she was too badly damaged to
keep afloat and sank.
"Vessels have been searching for
the missing men and the Navy De
partment awaited the report of the
names of those missing, which was
not received until yesterday, before
announcing the sinking of the ves
sel."
Circumstances surrounding the
sinking of the Covington evidently
were similar to those when the Brit
ish liner Tuscania was sent down oft
the north coast of Ireland while car
rying some 2,200 American troops to
England. The vessel was with a
fleet of ships convoyed by destroyers
and was attacked early in the night,
the submarine either having laid in
wait or else stumbling upon the con
voy accidentally.
There was no explanation by the
department as to whether the six men
were missing after the transfer of
the crew from the troopship to the
destroyer or after the transport
actually went down. It was feared,
! however, that they either were killed
by the force of the explosion or were
| caught by the inrush of water into
j the engine and firerooms.

FOCH PLANS TO
TURN BATTLE ON
KAISER'S ARMY
Increasing Man Power of Al
lies Permits Adoption of
New Policy
Washington, July 6. —Increasing
nian power arid rapidly extending
control of the air have permitted
the adoption of a new policy by
General Foch, supreme commander
of the allied arpiies on the western
front, in the opinion of many ob
servers here. They believe the se
quence of* hard local blows that have
been struck recently by French,
American, British and Italian
troops shows that a new phase of
the great battle is developing which
might expand into a major opera
tion on any part of the front where
the situation was found favorable.
Reports of the recent highly suc
cessful strokes at the German lines
are taken here to indicate that Gen
eral Foch no longer feels under the
urgent necessity of keeping rigidly
on the defensive in order to con
serve his forces for the expected
ienewal of the German offensive.
The fact that the Germans have
been completely surprised and over
whelmed by several of the local
counteroperations is believed to be
due to the work of the allied air
men.
American Aid Being Felt
In both cases, American aid has
already served to change the tide of
the fighting. The arrival of Ameri
can troops by the hundreds of thou
sunds has enabled General Foch to
begin harassing the enemy all along
the line, while Jhe increasing num
ber of American pilots makes possi
ble concentrations of air forces
that sweep enemy scouts out of the
sky in the sectors selected for lim
ited drives.
The American attacks around
Chateau Thierry, the French opera
tions on the Soissons front of the
Compeigne salient and the British
operations on both sides of the
Soinme and in Flanders probably
were prompted by the fact that the
weakness of the enemy at those par
ticular points had been revealed by
airplane observations, or as a result
of raids at other points Quick ad
\antage was taken, undoubtedly, for
surprise blows where German re
serves were on the move. k
It is assumed here that General
Foch now plans to give the enemy
no rest. Points of vantage held by
him which would be of value as the
starting place for a new major thrust
are being recaptured all along the
line. The effect is to embarrass
German preparations, and officers
here believe that the fact that any
of these local operations by the al
lies may suddenly develop into a
more important movement tends to
keep the German reserves scattered
along the whole line.
Situation Has New Aspect
The activity of the allied forces
is believed by observers here to put
a wholly new aspect on the problem
of meeting the forthcoming German
effort to renew his movement either
toward the Channel or Paris. The
possibilities of feints at remote parts
of the line, to cover the development
of the real attack until it was well
under way, are believed to be less
promising, as it is the allies who are
now creating divisions and not the
Germans.
It is regarded as quite probable
that General Foch will be able to
form accurate estimates of the
course and strength of the blow be
fore it is delivered and make his
concentrations accordingly. If so,
officers here have hopes that the
German assault, when-it does come,
can be stoppd without any consid
erable surrender of territory.
One advantage of the increasing
man power of the allied armies
that observers believe is certain to
l>e apparent in the next German
rush will be the possibility of allied
thrusts at other points along the
line, thus compelling the shifting of
German reserves to meet these at
tacks. It is believed General Foch
is now in a position to take this
means of using his reserves.

The Y. M. C. A. management ex
pects to have thirty boys under can
vas when the first annual camp is
opened between the mountain and
the Susquehanna river near Liver
pool on Wednesday of next week.
An advance party, including Al. K.
Thomas and Arch Dinsmore, who are

nesday morning.
A regular program has been ar
ranged for every day in camp, each
having its own variety of pleasures.
A \. M. C. A. boys' camp is different
from any other sort of a camp. A
boy has to attend on.e in order to ap
preciate this. Hiking, fishing, scout
ing, woodcraft, baseball, quoits, Bible
study, swimming races, but above all
the eampfire programs and the good
meals will be features of the camp.
The boys will live under canvas,
sleep on canvas cots, take care of
their own tents anu each boy will
wash his own dishes. An Idea of
the program may be had from the
following daily schedule of activi
ties:
6.0 a. m., reveille, setting up ex
ercises, dip in the river, blankets out;

to Switzerland to take ctlarge of the
relief work of American prisoners of,

ler, physical director of the associa
tion, will be the camp athletic direc
tor. Associated with them will be
other adult and older boy leaders.
Each tent group of boys will be cap
tained by an older boy leader, who
j will be an assistant to the camp di-
I rector and a big brother to his tent
| mates.
j The camp will be governed by a
i camp council composed of the camp
1 director, his associates and the tent

|to plan special programs and will
j make the few necessary rules, which
j all boys are expected to cheerfully
1 obey. Each boy is expected to enter
i into and give his hearty endorsement
! to ever move for good government
' and safety.
The Camp Honor System
Camp honors or marks of merit
will be awarded to deserving camp
ers. An all-round efficiency and
honor system, based upon those of
the best boys' camps in the country,
has been adopted. There are four
degrees In the camp fraternity, "The
I Order of the Emblem," each camper
j upon entrance into the camp being
i presented with a green bandanna of
j "green rag," which he wears as an
. emblem denoting his green or un
! sophiscated condition, he being a
; "tenderfoot" camper. At the close
of camp those boys who are found
j deserving, according to their attain
-1 ments, are awarded their "blue rag."
This they wear their second season,
while working for their third de
gree, "the red rag." A third degree
member is a full member of the
fraternity and is by' virtue there
of, a candidate for the final degree
—that known as the "degree of the
emblem." This is the highest camp
honor and will be awarded only to
third season campers, except that
"leaders" may skip a degree by
showing unusual merit in their po
sition of leadership and that other
campers may be advanced in recog
nition of deeds of bravery or un
: at his best. In the character of Billy
Holliday, the champion drink mixer
of New York, who later reforms and
becomes a prohibition worker, Mr.
Cohan has an opportunity to display
the quaint mannerisms and distinc
tive touches which have placed him
in the front rank of America's actors.
Ho was seen here last in the famous
play "Seven Keys to Baldpate" which

formance, The admission price to
"Hit-the-Trail Holliday" will remain

Swiss people.
usual achievement.
The Boys Will Be Safe
The camp management, realizing
the responsibility for taking every
precaution lor the health and safety
of the boys, will see to it that the
best of food is provided and that
normal exercise keeps the boys in
the best of trim. Mountain hiking
and bathing periods will be carefully
regulated. All boys will be under the
direct supervision of the camp di
rector and his associates. There is
no danger from railway trains, for
the camp is located on the opposite
side of the river from the railroads.
There are few camp rules, but to
these, every boy is expected to
cheerfully conform. In brief, the
rules might be stated: No tobacco,
no firearms and swimming at stated
hours only and with director in
charge. The individual use of boats
will be permitted only to those boys
who have passed satisfactory tests.
Conduct becoming to gentlemanly
boys is expected from all.

Allies Win Important
Positions, Take 5,000
Prisoners, Control Air
London, July 6.—During tfoe last
week the entente allies on the west
ern front have taken more than
5,000 prisoners. A series of minor
operations also resulted in their
gaining possession of several im
portant stmtegic points, inflicting
heavy losses on the enemy and ob
taining valuable information as to
the German plans for the immedi
ate future.
Another satisfactory feature of
the last week's operations has been
the work of the allies in the air.
Great damage-was done by the avi
ators to German communications
and the concentrations of men and
material behind the lines. The su
periority of the entente air fighters
is shown by the fact that during the
last week on the British front alone
173 German airplanes were downed,
while only thirty-six British ma
chines are missing,.
British military reports for the
week pay high tribute to the work
of the Americans at Vaux and on
the Somme, stating that the Ameri
can soldiers have shown the highest
tigl-.ting qualities, while their staff
work has been excellent.
Field Marshal Haig has sent this
telegram to the Fourth Army in
recognition of its success at Hamal
yesterday:
Officer Commanding Fourth Army:
Please convey to Lieutenant Gen
eral Sir John Monash and the ranks
of his command, Including the tanks

Winsome Viola Dana, popular fa
vorite, will be seen at the Colonial
.. .... Theßter to-day only in
£ . . e . ° n,y Boad." Miss
Colonial Dana as the so-called
daughter of low caste
Mexicans, has one of the greatest op
portunities in the role of Nita, beau
tiful and charming, and with the
manners of a lady. Full to the brim
with the joys of life, she objects to
the attention of a Mexican, and falls
in love with a college boy from the
Kant. Something- inside tells her there
is white blood in her veins and not the
blood of the Mexicans. Whether she

One of the most thrilling as well as
most interesting: motion picture plays
ever shown in this city
Tom Mix In is now the attraction
"Ace High" at the Victoria Theater.
It is entitled "Ace
High, and features the noted screen
star. Tom Mix, whose portrayals of
strong western and man 'of the
great north country have placed him
in the front ranks of motion picture
stars. Aside from a very beautiful
love strain running throughout the
story one sees the most thrilling
horseback rides; the rider, apparently
shot from his horse, only to spring
back to life when his enemies attempt
to take the body. One also sees a sen
sational fight between two big men
under water. This scene is In Itself
an achievement of the movies well
worth the price of admission alone.
Shooting the rapids in one •of the
great rlyers of the north is another
scene, the like of which few persons
have ever witnessed. Tom Mix in
"Ace High," is really a treat. For
Monday and Tuesday, .Theda Bara in
"Under the Yoke," will be the at
traction.

doubt will draw a big
house at this final performance. Tlie
show is one of the most successful of
ferings of its kind the park theater
has ever had, and large and enthusi
astic audiences hava filled the park
playhouse at every performance.

present an entirely new bill, entitled
"Pardon Me," with A. Seymour Brown
