Meanwhile four destroyers entered the harbor snd cruised around making ob servations hut were unable to take part In the battle. When the attacking ship and its land ing party had completed their work the sailors and marines were taken aboard again despite the damaged condition of the cruiser which ihen began to make its way out of the harbor. Only One of Them. One of the 17-lnch shell* out of the hundreds of various calibres fired at the cruiser got well home In her upper works. J|er steering gear was Injured and Mho signalled an escort shin to show her the way out. but before help arrived she had found her way out and taken her place under her own steam behind the line of protecting cruisers. One man who watched the operation from an escorting ship said to the Pally Chronicle’s correspondent: “When we saw the damage nhe had suffered, It seems scarcely possible that she wai able to keep afloat. The men be low must have worked like trojans for she was throwing flames ten feet high from her funnels and she made the fastest time whe probably ever accomplished.” “Ten-Fold Hell." The narrator described the combined noise of the German gun-flre and the ex plosions on the Mole aa a "ten-fold hell.” lie added. “We were only four or five hundred yards away from the point of the Mole but were afraid to fire a shot lest we re veal our exact whereabouts to the enemy. Apparently he nearly judged It for he threw any number of shells around us At a moderate estimate between three , thousand shells were fired at the attack ing squadron.” The German destroyer which was sunk was rammed amidships und torpedoed Those who returned to the Kentish port also say that hoarders rushed on the German destroyers anchored In the har bor. taking them completely by surprise. Home of the Germans hurried up to the hatchways In their night clothe*, but he fore they could reach the decks the Brit ish sailors knocked them on the head with clubs and rifles and sent them tumb ling down the hatchways.

With the American Army in France Tuesday, April 23.—Gas shells contin ued to fall along the American front Toul today but generally speaking the artillery fire was lighter than usual. There was a slight in crease, however, in rifle and machine gun fire against the American posi tions around Seicheprey. At one point three German propa ganda balloons descended carrying copies of the Gazette dee Ardenneg which 1h printed In French. (BY THE ASSOCIATED PRtSS.) With the French Army In France, Tue*. day, April 23.—-The valor and Htea.dfa.st iit'HH of the American trope during the German attack at Seicheprey la«t Satur day given un stint Ad praise by the French troops on the same front. This admiration for the fighting qualities of his trans-Atlantic comrades i» demonstrated In a report forwarded to the general commanding b>' the colonel of a French regiment which took part in the Seiche prey engagement. “1 visited Renners wood after the coun ter-attack. in which the position was re captured and cxamlnad the situation in detail,” says the report. “Everywhere trace* of hand-to-hand fighting show that the American soldier*, despite two hours’ of heavy bombardment, by large calibre gun*, defended themselves val iantly. "In the vicinity between the front ' trenches and the communication trench ' connecting the Jury and Renneres woods, tw’o American machine gunners died fighting on their weapons after covering the ground around with German dead. The enemy suffered great losses thanks to this heroic re*!Htance. Signs Everywhere. “Everywhere there are signs of Ger man wounded having been carried off while many German bodies remain be cuuhc the retiring enemy was unable to remove them Numbers of thejfb dead belong to German storming detach ments.” The French soldiers who joined in tho flght declare that the Americans displayed a splendid spirit of combat. They relate that north or Seicheprey an American de tachment wau h separated into small grounds and was cut off from the com pany to which it belonged throughout the entire fight. Behind the American* and on their left flank were German units, but they could hav« retired on the right. However, they decided to stick and tight, which they did with wonderful valor notwith standing the Incessant enemy bombard ment and rifle Are. Numerous hand-to hand combats were fought in the course of this long struggle from which the AmeHoan* found themselves obliged to retire toward nightfall, but only after de stroying their machine guns. Held It Whole Day. In Seicheprey a squad of Americans found several cases of grenade* with which they succeeded in putting up a ter rific flght and holding out the entire day on the northern extremity of the village. They refused to surrender whan sum moned to do so and at the end of the fighting only nine out of the original 23 were lefi A cook, surprised by the Ger mans arid half stunned by a blow from a grenade, seized a rifle and continued firing until he fell dead. Toward evening ;t hospital which had been established in Seicheprey was blown up along with the doctors and ambu lance men. The chief surgeon of the American regiment engaged, hurried to the spot with French and American am bulant c cars a* soon as he learned of the occurrence. The rescue party passed through a severe barraae Are but event ually reached the village where they tended to, the wounded for many hours under a heavy enemy Are An American lieutenant with only six men patrolled six hundred yards of the front during the entire day and main tained communication with the battalions on hi* right and left. Many other in cidents of bravely are recorded by the French, but detail* are not obtainable. Individual Heroism. With the American Army in France, April 23.—The shell torn village of Seicheprey around which centered the hardest fighting In connection with flu* recent heavy German attack on tho American positions appears to be destined to hold a proud place in the story of American participation in the | world war. As further details of the (•engagement became known thor© are disclosed deeds which are fully In ac cord with the finest American tradi tions. The correspondent is now permitted to tell of a few cases of individual heroism which will convey an Idea as to the mettle of the men. One of them, David Griggs, of Hast Hampton, Conn., passed through the enemy barrage at least seven times to carry ammunition to his hard pressed comrades. Twice he was partly burled by earth upturn ed by shells falling all around him but he kept at his task. He Spoke of Others. Griggs, who Is 19-years old, was so modest that ho would not tell his story but Insisted on speaking of the brav ery of ntohers Finally one of his comrades pointed him out and said "That Is the bravest man in the reg iment." Raymond A. Ferris, of Radford. Mass, acting as a courier, was blown off the road twice by the concussion of shells Although stunned and near ly crazed by the Intensity of the gun fire when he reached the point in the rear of the lines to which ha was sent for ammunition he carried out his or ders Then he asked for a revolver, laying he wanted to go out and fight the Germans hut he fainted from ex haustion. When he regained conscious ness his first words wore an Inquiry whether his message had been deliver ed. Charles Slnkler, a Philadelphia lawyer, who is now with the Red Cross, was In the thick of the fight ing. Two Americans who. armed only with auiomatlc pistols, charged the en emy machine gun. killed eight Ger mans and captured the gun. It Is al so related that one American sharp shooter killed fifteen Germane. In a village a short distance behind tho front lines. Glady and Irene Me lni\r». sister*, of Mount Vernon. N.

Is braving the German shells to dispense comforts to the men. "I hail to come to France." she said, "to find out what wonderful hoys w« raise In America.” FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH It Is not a myth but a reality and women mix find It In perfect func tolnal health.

JAPAN'S FOREIGN MINISTER RESIGNS London, April 24.—Viscount Monoto, Japanese minister for foreign affairs, has resigned according to a Reuter dispatch from Tokio. The question of Japanese intervention in Siberia probably led to the withdrawal of Viscount Ichiro Motono from the for eign ministry of which he has been the head since 1316. when Count Terauch! formed the present cabinet. There have been reports recently that Viscount Motono might resign in connection with the Siberian situation but explanations of such a possibility were scanty. Viscount Motono. who was given his present title in July, 1916, was Japanese ambassador to Russia previous to his elevation to the foreign ministry. Since his graduation from the University of Lyons. France, he has been connected with the Japanese foreign office and has served as minister to Belgium and min ister to France. Succeeded by Goto, London.—Viscount Motono will be succeeded by Baron Goto, who has held several portfolios and is a mem ber of the national commission ap pointed last year for the discussion of Japan's foreign policy. Only the Siberian Question. Washington.—Baron Shimpei Goto was minister for home affairs in the Terauchi cabinet and his appointment to succeed Viscount Motono iq not re garded as likely to involve any consid erable change in foreign policies with the exception of the H.berian question with which Motono was particularly identified. TODAY’S WAR REVIEW (Continued from page one.) ating with the British guns in severe ly punishing the enemy. (BY THE UNITED PRES*.> Following an intense artillery bom bardment covering practically the en tire British front, from south of Ypres to south of the Somme, Hln denburg today apparently has re sumed his west front offensive with a drive against Amiens. Haig, in his official report today, said that “strong infantry attacks are reported progressing in the Albert sector and between the Somme and the Avre.” The Somme and Avre ar* slightly l*ss than 10 miles apart, the battle front crosses them. The Somme flows directly westward through Amiens while the Avre. flowing northwest ward, converges with the larger river le*» than two miles east of that city. Between these two rivers, the Ger mans In their last drive progressed to W’ithin less than nine miles of Amiens. A resumption of the drive against this imnotrant strategic point has been forecasted by Allied military officials. At the same time Hindenburg is thrusting westward from Albert, which is about six miles north of the Somme. A heavy attack in this same seat or lasi night was broken up by rifle and machine gun fire, Haig re ported. On the Flanders front, the British commander said, “there was heavy hostile shelling' 1 between Givenchy and Robecq, a front of more than eight miles along the southwestern edge of the deep German salient. En emy concentration of infantry near Merville. in the center of the Fland ers wedge, were broken up by Britkh artillery. (By J. W. T. Macon, United Press War Expert. If the daring British naval adven ture off Ostend and Zeebrugge has sealed those harbors against the pass age of submarines, a heavy decline in sinkings of merchantmen by U-boats will be the Immediate result. The only other ports German submarines can use for their bases if Ostend and Zeehrurgge have been blockaded . is off the German coast. Between Bel gium and Germany the Dutch coast intervenes, which would make it nec essary for the submarine to travel three hundred miles northward of the Belgian harbors before they reached friendly waters. The distance from Ostend to the Irish coast is only 600 miles and it is within this area that most of the sub marine attacks are made. By adding three hundred miles to the U-boat journeys, the reserve power of the piratical craft would be seriously dis turbed. At the same time the nervous strain, which is known to be an im portant reasop for the decreased effi ciency of the submarine crews, would be much increased. The increase of three hundred miles of travel would be through the heavily patrolled North sea, necessitating continuous operations, under the surface, which axe highly destructive of morale. An enforced addition of one-third to the journey of the U-boats would make them by tha tmuch more liable to attack to the hew depth bombs BLACK NET SETS SNARE If wiißPirr/ 1 '*’* BY BETTY BROWN.

If, however, it is demonstrated that the initial at tack was not wholly successful, the possibilities to be gained may well cause the Allies to try once more. S. A. L. SUPERINTENDENT. Norfolk, Va.—W.
