Mrs. Mary Sullivan of 113 Second street and Miss Catherine Carey of S97 East Eighth street, were seriously injured and removed to the Coney Island Hospital and later to their homes. A Smith street car was stalled with its trolley pole off the wire and a PeKalb avenue car, say passengers, struck It at full speed, throwing nas- sengers in a heap and hurling many women and children into the street.

Eaglo Bureau, 68 Rue Cambon. BY NABOTH HEDIN. (Special Cable to The Eagle.) (Copyright by The Brooklyn Dally Eat Is. DIM Paris, August 15 Charles Holt of 407 Ocean avenue, Brooklyn, a member of the 16 6th Infantry, Eighty-third Brigade, Forty-second Division, writes The Eagle In regard to the German defeat north of the Marne and give some interesting details of the fighting there.

letter. In part, reads as follows: 1 "Our regiment and division did wonderful work from the moment we entered. We kept the Boche running the whole time; in fact, we advanced so fast that we left our kitchens be-hand, and as a result had to depend on our emergency rations until the cooking outfits could catch up with us. Neither could the artillery keep pace with the Infantry. "Our fight against the German Guard In Bellovue farm, near Cierge, was the hardest fighting the Americans have had thus far.

During the entire action the boys showed the greatest nerve. They fought unprotected for two days In the open fields." This was war In its fiercest aspect, such as Sherman knew nothing about." From other sources similar reports of the fierceness of the fighting on the I Marne front, in which the Americans had such an active part, have reached The Eagle correspondent. The Forty-second Division, according to these reports, captured a hundred machine guns and seventy prisoners, and It is easy to see that the Americans got a real taste of war and acquitted themselves well. Private Charles Holt Is 22 years old, and Is attached to the Headquarters Uompany of th9 lbnth Iniantry. He enlisted with the 7th Regiment on the day war was declared, and volun teered to be one of those to fill the I quota of the 69th.

He was sent to Camp Mills, and went across October 29. He was a close fighting chum of tho late Private Malcolm Robertson of 61 Eighth avenue, who was killed recently In action. Holt attended Erasmus Hall High School and Poly-technio Institute and was previously employed by Holt flour merchants, of 85 Broad street. While in Paris on some military duty he called at The Eagle Bureau and has since then been a close friend of Naboth Hedin, The Eagle correspondent. Several letters of his have been printed In The Eagle.

Last Tuesday Mr. and Mrs. Holt received a cable from Private Holt which read: "Well again." They surmise that he had met with some mishap and had written home about it but the latter went astray. BEHNCKE IN CAPELLE'S PLACE AS GERMANY'S MINISTER OF MARINE Amsterdam, August IB Vice Admiral Behncke has been appointed State Secretary to the German Admiralty, says the Weser Zeitung of Bremen. He was formerly Vice Chief of the fsaval General Staff.

Vice Admiral Behncke succeeds Admiral von Capelle In the office of State Secretary to the Admiralty, or Minister of Marine, as the office is customarily designated. Admiral von Capelle took over the Ministry of Marine in March, 1918, succeeding Admiral von Tirpitz. There have been recent reports of Von Ca-pelle's impending retirement, dispatches from Berlin on August 6 declaring that his resignation might be expected soon. A few days previously Admiral von Holtzendorff retired as head of the German Admiralty staff shortly after he had made an apology for the failure of German submarines to sink American transports. JULY SHIPPING LOSSES 270,000 TONS, AGAINST 534,839 IN JULY, 1917 Paris, August 14 (Havas Agency) The Allied and neutral shipping sunk by German submarines during July amounted to 270,000 tons, compared with 534,839 tons sunk in July, 1917.

This radical decrease in losses is doubly significant when the increase in merchant marine navigation resulting from the American shipbuilding effort is considered. The Entente nations constructed during July a tonnage In excess of 280,000 over that destroyed during the month by enemy operations. The Entente tonnage sunk in 1918 was 60 per cent, less than that lost in 1917. "SEND-OFF" FOR MARSHALL Friends and political associates of Luke Marshall, treasurer of the Kings Highway Democratic Club, the regular Democratic organization of the Second Assembly District, gave him a send off dinner last night on the eve of his departure for the training camp, where he will study for a commis sion In the United States Army. The dinner was given by the executive committee of the organization.

Patriotic speeches were made by Assistant Commissioner of Public Works Joseph Fennelly, leader of the district; by James a. cinncnneio, president of the club, and others. One of the features of the occasion was a vocal effort ny jonn oavarese, cashier in the Register's office, entitled "The Allied Italian Soldier." J. Driscoll Tucker, Lawrence J. Messenger, Charles Rennie and Edward Stoddard responded to the encore by singing one of the favorite club songs, "We'll All Leave When Savarese Stops Singing." Marshall was presented with a gold wrist watch.

KISSEL ATTACKS TRAVIS' PETITIONS Asks Justice Cropsey to Forbid Controller's Name On the Primary Ballots. Justice Cropsey, In the Supreme Court today, heard the application to strike out the Republican and Prohibition primary nominating petitions which have been filed for Eugene Travis, who is seeking re-election as State Controller, and to prevent the Secretary of State rrom pr'ntlng Travis' name on the primary ballots. The application was made by John Kissel, contender for the Republican nomination for Controller, who alleged that the acknowledgments by the notaries, commissioners and justices as to signers of the petition had not been verified by certificates from the County Clerks of the various counties in which the acknowledgments were taken, and that where the signers petitioned with the aid of witnesses the latter were not qualified as re quired oy jaw. Louis J. Altkrug, who appeared for Kissel, contended that of the 60,000 or so signatures to the Travis petition there were but 700 effective and valid and these were good because they were taken and acknowledged in Albany County, where the petition was filed with the Secretary of State, and that In those cases only County Clerk's certificates were needed to make valid the notarial acknowledgments.

There were 1,602 signatures all told from Albany County and Mr. Altkrug told Justlco Cropsey that in 900 or so cases where signers subscribed with the aid of witnesses the latter were not properly qualified. It was argued that the notary affidavits should have been verified by certificates of the County Clerks from the various counties so that the Secretary of State would have the proper evidence that the signatures had been properly sworn to and acknowledged. "The Secretary of State is the only officer who can protect tho people and in this instance he passed on the validity of all those signatures although he had no proper evidence before him," said Mr. Altkrug.

"The law does not require the Secretary of State to run through the sixty counties to determine wrhether the takers of acknowledgments are genuine notaries." Mr. Altkrug argued that the signature of the notary is the foundation of the entire fabric of all property rights under our law and that the County Clerk's certificate of genuineness as to acknowledgments in other counties was a necessary and vital element of the petition. Alexander Otis, for Controller Travis, declared that the primary election law did not specifically require County Clerk certificates and that deeds and like documents, referred to by Mr. Altkrug, as to which tho law was specific, were different from petitions. "But the general law covers everything not spoclflcally excepted," commented the Court.

"I think your honor, as an experienced lawyer, can take notice that such certificates were not required," Mr. Otis went on. "As a candidate, you mean," said Justice Cropsey. "According to the petitioner's contention all the previous petitions were invalid. Mine was no good, then; but I am glad they can't go back to that now." Lafayette Gleason, secretary of the Republican State Committee, who was in court and submitted affidavits by himself and others, declared that if Justice Cropsey knocks out the Travis petitions an appeal will be taken at once.

Justice Cropsey gave the lawyers until tbis afternoon to file briefs, and reserved decision. 3 OF U. S. S. SUPPLY'S CREW DROWNED ON AUGUST 10 Washington, August 15 Drowning of three men from the U.

Private George N. Johnson, Private George H. Johnson of Company 166th Infantry, was killed in action on July 29, according to a telegram received by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Johnson of 486A Seventeenth street.

He is supposed to have met his death about the same time as Major James McKenna of the same unit, who was killed as he was leading his battalion over the Ourcq River, on the Soissons-Rhelms front. Private Johnson was 19 years old on March 4 last. He enlisted in the Fourteenth Regiment in March, 1917, and was transferred to the Sixty-ninth, which later became the 165th Infantry. He was at Camp Mills, from where he sailed for France on October 25 last. The regiment received its initial training with the French Alpine Chasseurs (Blue Devils) In the Alsace-Lorraine sector.

According to special dispatches Major McKonna's battalion crossed the stream on a single plank in squad columns In the face of a withering Are, charged up the heights on the other side and bayoneted the German machine gunners. Private Johnson was born in Brooklyn and graduated from Public School No. 10. Before enlisting he was studying machinery with Witzel Son. He is survived by his parents and a sister, Ruth.
