NEWPORT NEWS, Va., Aug. 2 —
The German merchant submarine
Deutschland was sighted off Tangier
Sound at 6 o’clock this morning. She
wag still heading toward the lower bay
at ft high rate of speed.
Tangier Sound is about seventy-five
miles above the Capes.
Tw aeroplanes were seen flying over
lower Chesapeake Bay and Hampton
Roads shortly after daybreak thfs
morning. They were not from the At-
lantic coast aeronautical station here.
Whether or not they came from the ar-
mored cruiser North Carolina or one
of the allied cruisers on patrol off the
Virginia Capes could not be ascer,
tained. '
The machines maneuvered back and
forth over the water at a moderate al-
titude, apparently on the watch for the
German merchant submarine Deutsch-
land.
An interesting air duel occurred
recently on the western front It
was participated in by a French
aeroplane and a German observation
balloon. Another Frenchman was
nearby to take photographs of tho
evnt. The balloon was of course at
a tremendous disadvantage and the
duel was one-sided. The “sausage”
was soon in flames. Its Germon oc-
cupant, however, made good use of
his parachute and returned in safety
to the German lines.

NEW ORLEANS, La., Aug. 2. Ex-
ports of cotton from tho United States
during (he cototn year ending July 31
were 6,231,094 bales, or 2,310,814 bales
less than fur the previous season, ac-
cording to a statement issued today
by H. G. Webster, secretary of the New
Orleans Cotton Exchange. Expecta-
tions of the earlier months of the sea-
son were that the movement would be
well under six million bales, but lower
freight rates swelled exports during the
last few months.
Northern mill takings for the season
were but 2,864,150 bajes, or 19,058 bales
under the takings of tho preceding
yar. The gross weight of cotton bales
for the season on the average was
computed at 512.17 pounds, nearly five
pounds less than the average weight
for the previous twelve months.
Stock on hand nt the close of the
year was slated at 636.171 bales com-
pared with 744,557 bales on July 11.

PARIS, Aug. 2.—North of the river
Homme last night the French troops
took a poweriully fortified German
work between Hem wood and Monaca
farm, it was ofticlally announced this
afternoon-
On the right bank of the River Meuse
north uf the fortress of Verdun there
was a violent series of engagements
throughout tne night at Vaux-le-Cha-
pitre wood and Chenols extending to
the east as far as to the south of Dan-
loup. After a series of unsuccessful
attacks, some with asphyxiating gas,
tho Germans gained a little ground in
Vaux-le-Chapitre wood and at Chenols.
During the actions the French took
prisoner 100 .Germans, including hree
officers. A Russian reconnoltering
party, the statement adds, made a
bayonet charge in the Champagne re-
gion, dispersing a German detachment.
The statement follows:
"North of the River Somme beiwecn
the Hem wood and the Monacu farm
our troops captured a fortified work
strongly field by the emeny. South of
this river, an attack delivered by us
near Estrees resulted in our occupa-
tion of a German trench to the north-
west of Denlecourt; we also took some
prisoners.
"In the Champagne district, west of
Auberive, a Russian reconnoitering
party delivered a bayonet charge
against ft detachment of the enemy,
which was thereby dispersed, leaving
behind a number of dead.
“On the right bank of the River
Meuse, the fighting continued last
night with violence along the front be-
tween Vaux-le-Chapitre and Chenols
and spread to the east ns far as a
point to the south of the Damloup. The
enemy after a series of fruitless at-
tacks, some of which were accom-
panied by asphyxiating gases, gained
a little ground in the Vauv-le-Chatpire
wood and at Chenols, but elsewhere all
their endeavors were checked by our
fire. In the course of these engage-
ments, which resulted in important
losses to the enemy, we took 100 pris-
oners. including three officers.
“Along the Somme front our aviators
yesterday showed great activity. A
total of thirty-three aerial encounters
took place over the lines of the enemy.
One German aeroplane attacked by two
Nieuport machines was seen to fall in
flames while fourteen other German
machines, seriously damaged, were
compelled to land or were seen to dive
down within their lines.”

HAMMOND, Ind., Aug. 2.—The first

OLD POINT, Va., Aug. Eighteen
hours after tho German merchant sub.
marine Deutchland had sailed from
Baltimore on her return voyage to
Germany she still had not been sighted
at the Virginia Capes or in Hampton
Roads and nothing had been heard
from her since 6:80 o’clock this morn-
ing when she was reported tu have
been sighted off Tangier Sound about
sixty miles up Chesapeake Bay.
Although when lust flighted sho was
reported to be making 16 knots, the
Deutschland apparently has been pro-
ceeding at a much slower rate of
speed. On the trip up the bay after
her arrival oft the Capes unly seven-
teen hours was required for the run
from Hamptopn Roads to Baltimore-
Much surprise was occasioned here by
reports brought by passengers on an
incoming coastwise steamer, that only
one allied warship was on guard today
off the Capes. It is this blockade that
the Deutschland will be forced to evade
when she makes her dash to sea.

OKLAHOMA CITY, Aug. 2.—The re.
nomination of all present congressmen
and defeat of the proposed literacy
test amendment to the state constitu-

yesterday’s state primaries as indi-

parently he emerged victorious over
three opponents for the democratic
nomination for the fourth district.
