c MteiHfct Bownal VOLUME XX. Prench ThrotO Back Germans Crossing the Oise ANOTHER SCHOONER SUNK By I U-BOAT BN JWIC COAST Captain and Six of Crew of Edwin R. Baird. Jr., Picked Up by Destroyer Off Cape Charles AN ATLANTIC PORT. June 6—The captain and six members of the crew of the schooner Edward K. Baird, Jr., which was sunk by a German subma rine off Cape Charles Tuesday morning, were landed here today by an American destroyer which picked them up short ly after the vessel was sent to the bot tom of the Atlantic. Captain R. R. Couldman, master of the Batrd. said on arriving here: “We were proceeding about 100 miles off Hog Island in a smooth sea Tues day morning when the man at wheel sighted an object off our star board quarter, which he took to be a submarine chaser. 1 was at breakfast in the cabin at the time, but came on deck. The helmsman reported to me that the object he had seen was acting in a queer manner. "As soon as 1 saw the object I knew it was a submarine. Almost immedi ately the submarine sent a shot crash ing through our forsaii and signaled for us to heave to. I brought the schooner up in the wind and <he sub marine, moving q»'«er to us, brought out the German flag, and two officers and four members of the crew, the officers only being armed, boarded us. Given 15 Minutes “One of the officers, a man about 45 years old. speaking perfect English, de manded the ship’s manifest and papers and announced that we would be given fifteen minutes in which to take to the schooner's one boat. One of the offi cers accompanied me to the cabin where I turned over the ship's papers to him. The boarding party had little to say. The officer with me did not say how long he had been in American waters or how many submarines Germany now had on this side of the Atlantic. He told me to get all of the crew in the boat and place therein what provisions we had. “As soon as we cleared the schooner. Captain Couidman continued, the Ger- 1 mans placed bombs at the ends of ropes and swung them over the aides of the vessel, to ph«ci»-time fuses were at tached and their ends laid out on the deck of the ship. The Germans then left the ship and as we pulled away a terrific explosion took place and I no ticed two gaping holes in the side of my ship. Being loaded with lumber, how ever. the schooner did not sink and is now probably drifting about. "The submarine was about 175 feet long and carried two guns, one fort and one aft and disappeared almost im mediately after igniting the fuses to the bombs placed on the schooner. "We saved all of our personal belong ings, and two pet dogs we had aboard ship. We had been drifting about for aoout an hour when an American de stroyer picked us up. After taking us on board the destroyer sighted the sub marine. but she submerged before we had a chanee to fire on her.” Capta.n Couidinan said he left Jack sonville. Fla., for New York on May 27. Navy Redoubles Its Search for U-Boats WASHING! MN, June S. —The na/y redoubled its search efforts on the trait of coastal U-boat raiders today. Astonished by the fact that the sub marines are still operating off shore, but now apparently southward off the Virginia capes, navy officials wers nevertheless not dismayed. They said the patrol is doing its best and that while it is difficult to make predictions, there is- still a chance of smothering one or more of these raid ers before they scurry off home or to a hidden base. Strong attempts to locate a base wer® under way. Sinking of the Norwegian steamer Eidsvo! 1, Tuesday afternoon and rescue of her crew yesterday afternoon was the latest success of the U-boats reg stered by the navy cables up to early today. This was the second trans-Atlantic steamer involved, though in the first case, that of a French steamer, an American destroyer interrupted before the U-boat could act. Though still discussing the chance of landing cr.e or more of the raiders, navy officials pointed out that the task is difficult. The very fact that many de stroyers were sent abroad has admit tedly weakened the American coast tl patrol. There are sufficient boats to maintain ordinary vigil, but to dog a U-boat on a wide search curve is a large problem. The navy is doing its utmost with available material and of ficers declare it is possible to accom plish the purposes desired with the ma terial at hand. Belief that more than two U-boats are operating began to prevail today But there was another theory—that the Jersey raiders were working their wav south and were responsible for the sink ing of the Norse steamer. That incident was significant from the fact that the invaders operated in a heavily traveled ocean lane. They will scarcely dare operate farther inshore at this point, though the waters around the cape.- are well charted by the Teu ton as a result cf his Deutschland ven ture. When the commerce submersible came over here two years ago it lay submerged for a time in Hampton Roads and though allied vessels stood guard outside it ran the blockade at night The case now is rather different. Thj roads are well patrolled and there are no hampering restrictions on the patrol such as existed when the Deutschland came over. There is no danger as navy men Bee it that the U-boats will at tempt to sneak into Washington or Bal timore. Such an effort, it is said, would be sure suicide. There was no verification early to day of Cape May reports indicating the sinking of a U-boat near there. Navy officials said they would be cautious >f (Continued on Page «, Column 1.) Full Associated Press Service Atlantians Bid Godspeed To Old Fifth When Flags ■ Are Presented at Wheeler More Than Nine Hundred En listed Men o.f One Hundred and Twenty-Second Infantry Are Expected to Leave Soon for France BY WARD GREENE (Journal Staff Correspondent) CAMP WHEELER, Macon, Ga., June 6.— When the boys ot the old Fifth Georgia regiment, now the One Hundred and Twenty-second United States infan try, board the troop trains for an east ern port in a day or two, they will face the great game over there with the memory green in their hearts of how : the hometoiks from the old home town gave them Godspeed on their crusade > to Berlin. It may be months from now that the memory will come sweeping back to them.

Bill will turn to his buddy and remark. "Say, bo. do you remember the day down to old Camp Weeler, when the folks from Atlanta gave us the colors?" "Do I?" savs Bill’s bunkie. "Do you think I’ll ever forget the fried chicken and the sweet potatoes and the ‘vaniller’ i ice cream?” ' • "And the green peppers stuffed with . potato sa’.ad and the string beans—” “And the asparagus and the jelly and ; the lemon pie? Oh, boy!” And then the thoughts of both of them will go homing back three thou sand miles across the sea to a hot sum mer's day in June, to the cantonment spread among the green fields of Bibb county, to the blazing parade ground and to a picture of Judge John S. Candler, mounted on a platform in the center of the scene, telling them to take the twin flags to Berlin and not to bring them back stained or soiled, while beside him a little girl all in white looked down at them and smiled and dipped her bouquet of field flowers, tied with the ribbons of red and white and blue. Judge Candler's Address "I am not here to sympathize with you, but to congratulate you,” he said. "You have the world’s most wonderful opportunity. It is an opportunity un dreamed of, an opportunity that has come to no other citizens of the United States in the last one hundred and fifty years, an opportunity, I dare say, that will never come to a citizen of the United States again. "First, young men, you are going to war to represent the greatest nation under the sun, to represent principles you may be proud to live for and prouder still to die for. You are going over there as the fighting men of the great est and best government in the world— a government of free men. It is the greatest regret of my life that I have but one son to go with you. I am sorry, too. that I cannot go along and see that he does what I know he is go ing to do—his fully duty. "It is your opportunity to go out to fight for this grand and great govern ment against the most dastardly and barbarous foe that has scourged the earth since the days of Attila. The most savage American Indian wa’s not a cir cumstance to the German, his crimes were child’s play beside the atrocities committed by the Huns. When you come home, boys, you will have the sat isfaction in your heart of having crush ed civilization's worst enemy.” Colors Unfurled Here Judge Candler turned, while out from the grandstand came two men with the colors. As they unfurled them, the crowd cheered, for the flags were beauties —the silken banner of the Star:/ and Stripes rippling forth in the sun alongside the blue regimental flag with its stars floating against a field of clouds. "I charge you to bring back these flags unstained,” said Judge Candler. "Plant them in the first rank and never let them go back. Advance them until they wave from the ramparts of the Hohenzollern palace in the city of Ber lin!” With the last words, the band broke into ’•Dixie,” the crowd yelled again and the two colorbearers, with the two col or guards, advanced and received the flags from the hands of Judge Candler and from little Jacqulin Moore. Responding for the regiment, Colonel Hall spoke briefly, concluding with the declaration that "we will bring them back unblemished and unconquered!” The ceremony was followed by the "escort to the colors” and by a regimen tal review, wi’h Judge Candler. Mayor Candler, General Harris and others in the reviewing stand. Those who could stayed over in Ma con Wednesday night for a reception for enlisted men and their friends at Camp Wheeler and a dance for officers and their friends in the city.

UNDAUNTED AMERICAN SPIRIT INSPIRED THE FRENCH JT THIERRY Initiative and Enterprise of Pershing’s Men Thrill Allied Commanders, Daily Mail Correspondent Writes LONDON. June 6.—The behavior of the American troops at Chateau Thierry has demonstrated more than anything that has yet happened on the American front the splendid initiative and enter prise with which the American army is endowed and nothing has aroused the keener enthusiasm of commanders, says the Daily Mail correspondent with the American army in France. He quotes an unnamed French general as saying that the American spirit and enterprise at a critical moment served to maintain the morale of the French troops around Chateau Thierry. Among incidents of the engage ment the correspondent mentioned is the steadiness and persistence of the Amer ican machine gunfire in the streets of Chateau Thierry. Company after com pany of the enemy, marching four abreast, repeatedly tried to advance, but recoiled, sorely shattered before the fire of the American gunners. The streets were strewn with German dead and wounded and the American officers esti mate they inflicted at least 1,000 cas ualties. When a bridge across the Marne was blown up, the correspondent adds, the Americans were left on the northern bank with the enemy in front of them and the river at their backs. Carrying their guns, the Americans descended to the lower banks of the river, and, un der enemy machine gun and artillery fire, succeeded in reaching the next bridge. The correspondent predicts that much will be heard of the deeds of the Ameri cans in the next few days, and adds: •American troops, fresh from the Unit ed States, continue to arrive with reg ularity and in numbers more than suf ficient to justify renewed confidence in the ultimate triumph of the entente. The Americans at this moment are distrib uted over a very wide front indeed. "In some sectors entire American di visions form one unit, holding a certain extent of line while elsewhere they are brigaded with French and British regi ments. In the Luneville and Toul sec tors the Americans bold very difficult ss.lients—in the Toul sector completely dominated by the German artillery on Montsec —by the enemy. The Germans recently have been drenching these po sition with gas. but the Americans stood firm and won the ready appreciation of all observers.” French Officially Commend Bravery of U. S. Soldiers PARIS, June 6.—An official note de scribing the share borne by American troops in the fighting at Veuilly, Jau’- gonne and Chateau Thierry says: “Only a few units are involved at present, particularly machine gunners, but at the points where they have been called upon to fight they have won the admiration of the French troops with whom they fought. Their help was just what we expected from gallant soldiers, full of enthusiasm and ardent fighters. We may hope everything from them.” U. S. Officers and Privates Suffer Hardships in Fight WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN FRANCE, Wednesday, June s.—(By the Associated Press.) —Many American of ficers and privates showed great daring and fortitude in withstanding the Ger man attacks along the Marne at Cha teau Thierry and Jaulgonne. Captain John R. Mendenhall, of New Rochelle, N. Y„ went without sleep for three days and remained steadily at the head of his company during that time. Corporal Jules Mangold, of Mc- Donald, Pa., was sent out to Investigate German snipers under a heavy fire from the American line. He found the snip ers, pointed them out to his comrades and the Germans fired no more. The first American to receive the French war cross for bravery in the present battle was Lieutenant Walter R. Flan nery, of Pittsburg, who swam across the Marne and rescued a wounded French soldier. Lieutenant John T. Bissel, of Pittsburg, has been cited for the French war cross for leading his machine gun command to the nortu side of the Marne in an attempt to stop the German attack. Captain George Wakerine, the French officer with the America.! unit, stood by the Americans in the thick of the fight encouraging and cheering them The Americans he said, showed most wonderful fighting spirit and were jolly, even laughing and joking v.hile a perfect hell raged around them. German Woman Tells Os Hun War Losses BERNE. Wednesday, June 5, —As bearing upon the war losses of some German families, a statement made to day to the Associated Press correspond ent by a German woman now in Berne is Interesting "Twenty-five of my relatives have been killed; five are invalids, and only two are left unharmed out of thirty two engaged in the war,” said the wom an. whose husband was killed on the German front near Arras. "My uncle," she continued, "sent seven sons into the war and six of them were killed within two months.” The losses of the Germans since the March offensive began have been ter rific. she added.

Mallet, selective service law officer for Georgia, announce that able-bodied registrants engaged in non-productive occupations will be given until July 1 to get into essential em ployments. After that date, regardless of their classification, their order num bers will be disregarded and they will be held for immediate induction into mili tary service. All registrants who are idle will lose their order numbers. The term idleness will cover gambfers of all descriptions and employes of race tracks and bucket shops, fortune tellers, clairvoyants, palmists and the like. Servants; eleva tor operators, domestic servants, theatri cal attendants and others are classified in non-productive occupations which are listed as follows: (a) —Persons engaged in the serv ing of food and drink, or either, in public places, including hotels and social clubs; (b) —Pasenger - elevator operators and atendants; and door men, foot men, carriage openers and other at tendants in clubs, hotels, stores, apartment houses, office buildings, and bath houses; (c) —(Persons, including ushers and other attendants, engaged and occupied in and in connection with games, sports, and amusements, ex cepting actual performers in legiti mate concerts, operas, or theatrical performances; (d) employed in domes tic service; (el—Sales clerks and other clerks employed in stores and other mer cantile establishments. More Work for Women Thus it will be seen that all who em ploy male servants between the ages of 21 and 31 will be deprived of their services; that women will take the places of young men in stores and on elevators: that people will become their own chauffeurs; that theaters will have either young boys, middle-aged men or girls for their ushers; that the same condition will apply to soda jerkers and that, according to the interpretation of several authorities, baseball will be shorn of its young players. The above listed non-productive em ployments is to be extended from time to time as necessity may require to in clude various other occupations. There is no justification, the regulations set forth, in postponing the call into mili tary service of a registrant engaged in a non-productive occupation, notwith standing he may have been placed in class two, three or four on the ground of dependency. ' There is a great demand for labor In all productive occupations and em ployments,” the regulations say, "and especially in agriculture and other nec essary industries.

VENETIAN PLAINS MAY BE SCENE.OF BIG OPEN BATTLE J Italians Ready for Any Move; by Austrians —Greeks Pre paring to Strike at Bulga rians, Perhaps at Sofia < WASHINGTON, June 6. —Prospects of a great open battle between Austrians ' and Italians on the Venetian plains were ! seen by Italian military men here today. 1 Aviators have reported large Austrian 1 | cavalry forces along the lower Piave. i 1 apparently in readiness for such action. ' 1 | And, it is reported, German Uhlans have : been forwarded to aid them. In adai- 1 ' tion. Turk mounted forces may have a I hand in the prospective struggle. The Italian embassy’s advices said ! that the Teuton preparations for the of’- 1 fensive are complete. While these evi- j 1 dences may constitute a bluff, the Ital- ! ian troops are ready for any contangen- i cy. Officers here say that the Italians j will have every' chance of success if j • the offensive develops. Meantime, Greek activity is proceed- ; ' ing. The Greeks’ objective, according to Minister Russos today, is Sofia, Bul garian capital. Striking at the Bulgarians far from the Salonika front the Greeks hope eith er to weaken the Bulgar forces at Sa lonika and in the Dobropolya-Monastlr region or make a determined advance toward the Sofia-Constantinople railway. ; thereby menacing Germany’s right of j way to Turkey. Authoritative information indicates I that Seres has been evacuated by the Bulgars after the disastrous defeat suf- i sered at the hands of the Greeks a few days ago. A determined stand is ex pected in the Struma valley, the path- ! way to the Bulgarian capital. I Sofia is 110 miles from Seres. In 1913, j I during the second Balkan wars, Greek 'troops covered the distance in about i i twenty-eight days. I ; ■ .. I should be willing to seek some produc tive occupation or employment or enter the military service rather than remain > in an occupation or employment into which they are rendering no effective assistance to the nation.”.

Ill,m MORE MEN IN JUNE WILL SE GALLED Classes 3 and 4 to Be Combed for Married Men With Good Incomes WASHINGTON, June 6.—Four hun dred thousand Americans will enter training camps this month to prepare for the battle against the Boche. With a call for 200,000 men today, covering I the closing days of the month, the total was brought up to 300,000, and 1 additional calls expected this month will reach the 400,000 figure, it is estl- | mated now. j This unexpectedly large call is a di rect result of the speeding up process in sending troops overseas. Training 1 in this country is being ctu to a mini ' mum, so that Americans hereafter will get scarcely longer periods of prelim- ! inary drilling than the British have. This is necessitated by the urgent de ' mand for more man-power in the face of Germany’s thrusts along the west ern line. And while this big call is occurring, the war department is developing plans for the first "combing out” within classes three, and four. The proposal is to weed out men there for class one men whose claims to dependency ex- I emption are net sound. For instance, if a family has an in come sufficient for support, the husband I may be listed in class one, whereas I previously, boards frequently allowed dependency exemptions largely because of the married relation without full in vestigation as to the family's economic status. Incidentally, it became known today : that President Wilson is carefully I studying the compulsory labor laws of , Maryland and New York. It is be ! lieved this is a forerunner of exten sion of the "work or fight” order. j While these things proceed. Ameri can military men are now viewing with more equanimity the situation on the western front. The German, they feel, is held tor the time. With the allies making successful counter attacks .and standing firmly, it is felt the Marne smash has gone the way of all other i offensives—a gain for a time and then I a halt before solid resistance. How- I ever, this is considered only one phase I of the tremendous struggle in the west ' and a renewed smash in the Marne re gion or farther north is anticipated. Washington Ignores Teuton Peace Feelers WASHINGTON, June 6.—Some signs of a renewal of Germany’s peace offen ; sive have reached the government re | cently, it became known today. These peace feelers fell on deaf ears. Wash ington never was less interested in peace talk than now. Secretary of State Lansing's address in New Y’orK yesterday pointing out that the nation should give the Boche war until he was heartily sick thereof, is the keynote here now unmistakably. •NUMBER 73. LOCAL ATTACKS Hr. HUNS REPULSED ON WHOLE MULE LINE Heavy Artillery Firing Reported in Region of Neuilly, Where American Troops Are Sta tioned, According to French i NEW YORK, June 6.—(Summary of European Cables to the Associated > Press.)—Held up in their efforts to bat ter their way through the American and French lines near the Marne, the Ger- < mans have again turned their attention to the front further north, in a sector which may be considered as the connect ing link between the Somme and Marne battlefields. The French official report, in dealing, with operations along the front, says: that the French forces east of Sem pigny have continued to drive back bodies of German troops which had crossed the Oise. When the initial plunge along the Aisne had gained expensive ground, but the process had created a salient dan gerous to the Germans to the west of Soissons, they attacked along the Ailette river, northwest of that city, to straight en out their line and thus guard against a flanking operation by the allied armies. They gained considerable territory in this maneuver, but were held after they had progressed approximately five miles. Since that time the French have held their positions, with the Oise river forming a first line of defense, and there has been little fighting of a significant nature in that sector. Military experts have expected an at tack on the allied line running east of ' 'I Montdiddier, past Noyon and thence along the Oise to the new lines forced since the German offensive on the Aisne began. It may be that the fighting re ported in the French official statement marks the initial stages of an attack there. Further south along the line running from the western suburbs of Soissons to Chateau Thierry the line is standing firm before the German thrust. The French have succeeded in improving, their positions north and west of Haute braye, a little village on the right bank, of the Hoxien river, north of the Aisne. On the rest of the front, especially at Longpont, Veuilly-la-Poterie and west of Rlielms, the artillery fire has been vio lent. Along the front held by the British there have been raiding operations but no fighting of a serious character. The Berlin official statements on the fighting grow shorter. Wednesday re ported only a slight advance along the Aisne Tuesday and local fighting near the Ourcq. The situation is unchanged, according to the Wednesday evening an nouncement from German headquarters. American troops around Veuilly, northwest of Chateau Thierry, repulsed Tuesday night and Wednesday strong German efforts to advance. The Ameri can machine gun fire broke up the German attack in confusion. West of Montdidier and east of Luneville, American patrols have been active. An American party’ of thirty men pene trated the third German line east of Luneville and outfought a party of 200 Germans. Heavy losses were suffered by the Germans while the American, casualties were slight. Although artillery activity has in creased along the entire Italian front from Stelvio to the Adriatic there is no indication that the Austrians are yer ready to launch their offensive, for which it is known they have made preparations. There has been an Increase in infan try fighting on the Macedonian front. Allied troops have withstood success fully Bulgarian attacks against the new Greek positions at Ska di Legen, near Gradisnitza and between Ochrida and I’resba. * French Report Repulse Os Germans at Sampigny PARIS, June 6.—German forces last night crossed the River Oise in the vi cinity of Sampigny, but were driven back by the French, the war office an nounced today. North of the Aisne the French Im proved their positions in the neighbor hood of Hautebraye. There was heavy artillery fighting in the neighborhood of Vduilly la Po terie <where American troops have been in action.) The statement follows: "East of Campiguy French troops late yesterday drove back enemy roups which had succeeded in crossing the Oise. The French took 100 prisoners. •’North of the Aisne the French im proved appreciably their positions north and west of Hautebraye. Fifty prison ers remained in our hands. "The artillery fighting was heavy, es pecially in the regions of Longpont and Neuilly-la-Poterie and west of Rheims." French Believe Germans Preparing Another Blow PARIS, June 6.—The battle situation, is frankly satisfactory, says a Havas agency review today, and the enemy temporarily, at least, is not likely to make attacks ail along the front be tween Rheims and the Oise. Local at tempts seem to indicate that the Ger m::«;c have renounced for the moment their pur-pd-e to win a decision on the battlefield picked out by their com manders on May 27. Nevertheless, the newspapers do not believe that the German offensive is ended. The Petit I’arisien thinks that General Ludendor is preparing a blow which he expects will have prodigious results. Germans Again Repulsed By British Near Amiens LONDON.
