NAVY Department OPENS
HYDRO-AEROPLANE BIDS
Seeks Thirty Machines for Use Of
Students at Pensacola, Fla,
Aviation School.

Bids were opened at the Navy Depart
ment today for thirty hydro-aeroplanes
for the naval aviation school at Pensa-
cola, Fla. While the types desired
differ from the fighting and scouting
aircraft in that the limit of endurance
is reduced to meet the requirements for
school work only. they must have a
speed of sixty or seventy miles an hour,
and be constructed to give the student
flyers every experience in training they
will need in war time.
Many concerns offered several ma
chimes. but only a few of the larger es-
timated upon the entire lot. Officials of
the department said they would be un-
able to award the contracts for week
or more.
AS an encouragement to all con-
Germs manufacturing flying machines
In the United States. it was intimated
that the department would divide the
awards among those firms whose bids
were acceptable under the law. In
doing that, it was said, new types of
machines might be found which after
experiments had been held at the avia-
tion school would prove better fitted
to the needs of the service than the
types now in use.

Ebb and Flow of Attack.

Today around Falfemont farm the pic
ture was intimate yet incomprehensi-
BILE to observers in it's ebb and flow of
attack. The contrast between Prussian
and British methods stood out as in a
panorama The British charge, moving
up with each unit seeming to act for
ithelf, and yet keeping it's formation,
and then the German counter attack in
a regular wave followed by another,
dipping with the undulations of the
ground. Figures in the first wave be-
gan to drop as the British machine guns
started to rattle, and yet the second
wave came on in a way that made
British officer, with characteristic
sportsmanship, exclaim: Magnificent!
Topping" The second wave melted on
the ground where the first wave had
disappeared.
But the results were confused An
observer could only tell that charges
were met by counter charges, while
machine guns in hidden places waited
blasts. 1t could not always be told
whether figures leaving the trenches
were men retreating or prisoners under
escort. Fast running figures from both
sides to their rear were either mes
sengers bringing back word of the
situation to their commanders when

Wonderful Battle Picture
When British and French
Charge Germans on Somme

WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES IN
FRANCE, September 4. via London, Sep
tember 5.--A wonderful spectacle Of war
was visible today from high point near
the junction of the French and British
the ruins of Guillemont-fringed by
wavelike earthly line of old second-line
German trenches facing Trones wood
across a space of ten city blocks, which
is veined like a frogs foot with trenches
and runways the British had dug.
For six weeks the British burrowed
against the Germans over this shell-rup-
tured, builet-riddled field. Yesterday was
a day of successful British effort to break
through this German bulwark. The Brit
ish artillery had not destroyed all OF the
deep dugouts, but the curtain of intensi-
fed shell fire kept the machine gunners
down. and out of these dugouts after half
an hours work the British infantry turn
ed out some six hundred prisoners.
A little farther, perhaps, beyond Guile
mont than three times the distance from
second base to the home plate is sunken
road, at the north end of which is an
other patch--the ruins of Ginchy-where
the fighting between Briton and German
surges back and forth between barricades
and cellars, and any kind of cover that
the men can throw up out Of the debris.
British FIRMLY EStaDl1Sned.
The British seem to be firmly estab-
lished in the sunken road. All night
they were digging themselves into
holes there. This was just as much
their objective as second base is to
base ball player, who has just made a
two-base hit. If they tried to go
farther because the going was easy
they might be put out That happened
yesterday in some points of the attack,
as 1t sometimes does. thanks to over
eagerness.
AT the southern end of the sunken
road is a finger point of the green
Wedge wood and below this lay Falfe-
mont farm, where the British attacked
stopped yesterday. Here the Prussian
guard left their trenches in a charge
to meet the British attack half way.
Thus they came bayonet to bayonet
The big guns could send no shells, the
machine guns no bullets for fear of
hitting their own men. All the machin-
cry of war with it's missiles which kill
men at long range formed a ring
around these combatants. who fought
virtually to extinction with cold steel
