Hattonchatel Wrecked

FOE BONDARDS. BUT
AIRMEN ESCAPE shot

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
PARIS, July 13-Thirty-fve French
aeroplanes participated in a great
raid on the important German strate-
gic station at vigneulles les Hatton-
chatel. the war Office announced this
afternoon. starting several fires that
are believed to have destroyed muni-
ton supplies.
From Vigneulles railway lines lead
to the German armies near Calonne
and in the Apremont woods. In the
big station we're stored great supplies
of ammunition and food, awaiting
transfer to the front.
The aerial raid was accomplished
successfully under the greatest diff
culties. The French birdmen braved
high wind that threatened their
destruction. and made it necessary
for them to drop within close range
of the enemy's anti-aircraft guns to
make sure that their bombs would
not be miscarried by the wind.
Official dispatches to the war office
said that III bombs we're either
dropped upon the railway sheds or
in their immediate vicinity.
Several buildings burst into flames
as the aviators sped away. Despite
a violent bombardment none of the
aviators was hit.

WASHINGTON. July President
Wilson probably will return to Washing
ton the latter part of this week, Secre-
tary Tmulty said today This, he
added, was a guess but he spoke 80
confidently that it was believed ho

The expectation was that nothing
positive wonld be given out until the
President actually is back in the White
House
Secretary of state Lansing was keep.
ing his own counsel today concerning
the nature Of the reply he was framing
TO the latest note from Berlin. So far
as could be learned he had not taken a
single person into his confidence. He
was quite reticent. in fact. as the Presi-
dent himself has always heen under
similar circumstances.
Indications were that when the
chief executive returns from Cornish

Presidents and the Secretary's. con-
cerning the details Of which not a
soul will have a particle of informa-
tion except their respective authors.
The two will be compared. tho
President and the Secretary will talk
them over and one note or the other.
or a compromise. or an entirely new
note will be agreed on. Then the
cabinet will be consulted.
There was plenty OF speculation
concerning the things the President
and the Secretary were writing into
! their proposed communications. but
this speculation really meant moth
ine-the truth was that nobody had
an inkling concerning what either
man had In his mind.
One thing stated on very good au-
thority was that Secretary lansing
as counsellor of the State Department,
had much more TO do with preparing
the previous American messages 70

credit for The current version.
hitherto has been that President VIII
son furnished the ideas and that
Lansing put the notes into legal form.
The latest account is that the latter
supplied many Of the ideas as well

That this supposed conspiracy in

nothing Of the kind had been reported to

denial that the ambassador was be-
