Washington, June 7.—Navy officials believe today that noe or both of the German U-boat coast raiders are heading homeward now. Persistent reports say that aircraft and destroyers hovered over the spot where^the oil tanker Wm. Rockefeller was sunk until the U-boat rose for air. when it was netted. Naval officials, doubtless in accord with the policy of keeping Ger.' many ignorant of the fate of her U-boats, refuse to confirm or deny the rumor. The torpedoing of the British steamship Harpathian off tbe Virginia Capes Wednesday morning makes a total of fourteen victims of the German submarines which have been operating off the Atlantic coast since May 25—six steamers and eight schooners. The Harpathian was torpedoed without warning but the crew wer.e rescued by the steamer Palmer. The total lbss of life will probably be less than twenty, nearly all of these from the Porto Rican kteamer Carolina, whose passengers were in open boats for many hours. No thing has been heard from tbs U-boats since Wednesday room ing. They'were moving southward from the Jersey eoaet, where they broke out in open activity Sunday after quietly sinking ships and holding crews prisoners and strewing mines for several days. The prisoners were released in open boats. The two submarines are supposed to have been operating, either from a supply ship in mid-ocean or from a base in Mexico or tbe It w«, estimated that the registration would be about 125. or t-n per cent of the rr*t«tration laid year n fell far abort of thia however, due doulitleaa to tba large number who have volunteered and to he-, morals from the csuut.i However, ft ia expected that a much larger proportion will qualify for service thun uuder the ItllT registration.

Dani. the face of a determined German counter With the aid of the French infantry, the American Marines and machine gunners were consolidating their positions all along the new front. In the region of Lucy-le-Locage, the American positions were being badly harrassed by the German machine gun*. An American patrol leaped from the lines, attacked the enemy poaibons, killed the entire crew and captured the gun. London, June 7.—We raided hostile post* northeast of Be- thume last night, inflicting heavy casualties, capturing machine «un* and returning without loss, Field Marshal Haig reported With the Americans on the Marne, June 7.—The Ameri cans, after hurling tbe Germans back one and a quarter to two ns* the villages are r dogs and rats and Nee with the younger ■efused to leave their these places.

He found quite a crowd gathered and some of them considerably excited. The bouse of Boykin's mother was guarded all night and Monday morning just as light waa coming, he was seen through a corn field near the house. The crowd gave chase but he got away. With their first chance at the enemy, the Americans at* showing rare fighting spirit Not only did they hit the Ger man line like a whirlwind after it had crossed the Marne, but drove the Hun back to his own side and held him theie. Tbe a, in attack after attack, they have won fresh positions from the foe, and after winning held them in the face of all the reinforce ments he could bring up. There are persistent reports that the foe is massing immen se numbers for an attack on the American front near St. Mihiel. where it is thought the line was weakened by men sent to the Marne. It is safe to say that if the Teutons attack there, they will catch a Tartar. As yet the expected Teuton attack at another point ha* not developed. The drive toward the Marne has taken up many of the foe’s reserve divisions and in some quarters doubt is expressed as to whether he has the men to spare for a drive at Amiens, Arras, or Hazebrouk. .
