SUBMARINE HITS ITS OWN MINE; 17 AREJflLLED Rescued Captain Worries About Boots Containing Valuable Information. LONDON. March 15. Correspond ence of The Associated Press. In a small sea coast village cemetery within a rfnv'n travel of London there are seventeen graves side by Bide, where British sailors sometime ago burled seventeen German sailors all but one TT-hoat which was sunk by one of its own mines Just outside the village.

The population of the village was awakened at 10:30 o'clock one night v. n vi f ; t rnlAetnn nn thft water front, followed a few 'moments later by a second explosion.

Find First Man. No ship was In sight, nor was there any further sound to guide the rescue party. Nevertheless, the boats put out into the black night and presently nnn of them returned with one res cued man. Almost completely exhausted. The man was carried to the nearest house, dazed, shivering and nearly paralyzed with fright at the sight of the uniform worn by the police and roast guards. He expected instant death. The villagers reassured him . and gradually his terror vanished. In answering questions the man nald that be was the captain of a German mine laying submarine. He had been ordered to lay ten mines along the coast and nine of these had been unloaded successfully when the U-boat struck one of them. Worries About Boots. All the lights were extinguished by the explosion and almost Immediately afterwards one of the mines left in the boat let go. The captain, still uninjured, managed to get through the hatch and into the water. The submarine was blown in two. The prisoner was visibly anxious about the loss of his boots. These were recovered eventually from the water and a number of confidential papers of great importance were found stitched Inside the line. 'The submarine was raised and towed into port. The hulk contained seventeen dead Germans and several live mines, one of which is on exhibition at the village pier, as a trophy. The wrecks of the submarine has been inspected by a number of visitors including the officer commanding the nearest American naval station. Masonic Calendar ! Tusday, March 28 Richmond Lodge No. 196.

These small guns, which are about the size of a one pounder, are easily moved from place to place even In the trenches. They also secured direct hits on the junction of communication trenches as men were passing and into the entrance of the dugout which a number of the enemy were seen to enter and from which smoke was issuing. None of the enemy was seen to come out. Artillery Is Active. Intermitted artillery duels have been In progress all day, both on our Toul front aud In the Lunevtlle sector where American troops are in training. Three of our patrols reached the enemy's line early this morning but in the brilliant moonlight they were discovered and were driven out by brisk machine gun and automatic rifle fire. Our Infantry discovered one enemy patrol Inside our wire. These Germans were driven off and It is believed they suffered casualties. Ailplanes Cross Lines. There was increased aerial activity today. The weather was warm and U was generally clear except for a haze which obscured visibility above the low ground. One machine with an American observer at its gun emptied a stream of bullets into a German airplain which was observed descending rapidly as though in trouble behind ntir llnpa Ten German machines crossed our lines last night and circled around, apparently seeking out targets which they Intended to bomb but American anti-aircraft guns kept the enemy so high that no explosives were dropped.

ATTACKS MADE FAST For the first time In the war on the western front since the opposing armies established themselves in their trench systems, the defensive zone has been broken through. In other great attacks the British, French and Germans have been able to bend back the line, but not to strike through the zone of defense. Many military critics had reached the opinion that on account of the efi-oncrtv. nt thn line it. would be impos sible to break them until one side or the other had been worn down to such a point that it would be no long er able to man it strongly. Unless the British are able to restore the situation by a counter at tack, a withdrawal on a wiae ironi may be necessary with open field war fare. The point at which the British line has been broken is near the southern end of the German attacking rront, which extends from Arras to Latere, fifteen miles below St. Quentln. Below this sector is the great arc in the front, where the line, approaching j nearest to Paris, turns sharply to the The German offensive has developed with almost unparalleled rapidity. One reason for this is indicated in Field Marshal Haig's reports, showing that the Germans are constantly bringing up fresh bodies of troops. BRITISH FORESAW EVENTUALITY Abandon First Line Trenches to Re-Organize In Good Form. BRITISH ARMY HEADQUARTERS IN FRANCE, Friday. March 22. (By The Associated Press.) British troops between the Scarpe and the Oise have fallen back in places, but the British generals had foreseen this eventuality and made preparations accordingly. In the face of a great attack, It !s not onlv impossible, but quite unsound to atte'mpt to hold the front line trenche3 everywhere. Good defensive tactics usually aim at organizing resistance so that the further the enemy advances the stronger will be the opposition he meets. Taking the situation as a whole, the British are well satisfied with the results of the first stage of the fighting. They vndoubtedly lost several ruined villages and the Germans probably will make much of their capture, but the defenders have held on amazingly well and worked terrible slaughter among the attackers. Center of Fighting. The fighting today was greatest In intensity on two sectors one north west of Cambrai and the other southwest. The fighting on the northern front was about Bullecourt, while Hargicourt i3 the southern center. A bright sun came out at midday and airmen wpri most active; the British aviators flying at very low altitudes and using their machine guns against the opposing infantry. Before they attacked today on the sector between the canal Du Nord and Croisilles, on the northern battle front, the Germans for four hours smothered the British with every conceivable form of hate w,hich a gun could throw. . Use Gas Shells. The enemy depended largely upon large numbers of trench motars to cut the wire entanglements. The Rritish had had warnings that the Germans would use great quantities of gas shells. This proved to be true, although there was nothing new in the type of gas and the British gas masks appear to have been most effective. The British Tommies and their of fleers fought for hours with their gas mnekK nn. hut oven this drawback could not dampen their jubilation at the havoc they caused as the German infantry presented itself in the form

British machine gunnera did terrible execution as the Germans moved forward. Attack in Masses. As on Thursday, the Germans today depended on tremendous artillery bombardments and massed attacks with great numbers of troops to achieve results. At least for German divisions have been identified and the German artillery concentration is the greatest that has been seen on the west. It is reported that in one section, the Germans came across No Man's Land in regular formation and gaps In the ranks were quickly filled in to present a solid front. The Germans are said to have stopped when they reached the barbed wire and to have cut it by hand under a heavy fire from rifles, machine guns and artillery. However, the report Is not verified, but it is certain that the Germans advanced in more dense formations than ever before and naturally suffered grevious casualties. Six Divisions Attack.
