The American vessels sunk were the
Slade, the A. B. Johnson and the

Navy Department Statement
The navy department issued this state
ment:
The master of the American schooner
! c. Slade arrived in an open port at this
island with three other men from Mopeha
island, which they left Sept. R. The mas
ter, Hador Smith, states that his vessel
was captured by the German raider See
adler on June II. The schooner was de-
stroyed - burning and the entire crew
were taken aboard the raider.
Smith further states that the Seeadler
captured ON June Il the American schoon-
er A. B. johnson and on July the Amer
lean schooner Manila. The Manila was
destroyed by dynamite, after which the
Seeadler proceeded to Mopeha island, the
westward island of the Society group, ar
irving there July 81 On Aug. the see
adler stranded and was abandoned as

In view of these DEVELOPMENTS, Off
GERS believe a definite ascendancy has
been established by the Allies in the
morale Of their armies. They regard
the condition as forecasting complete
victory, although none are willing to
venture a prediction as TO when the
German collapse may come.
There have been indications that the
allied commanders have been intent
upon the destruction of the morale Of
the German soldiers, as much as
upon forcing their way forward
in recent battles The lavish ex-
renditure of artillery ammunition in
which they have engaged steadily for
n onths may be designed largely to
shake the nerves of the men among
whom the shells were falling day and
night.
The results of today's drive, some
officers believe, may prove clearly that
the demonstrated preponderance of
Allied artillery has served not only to
hearten the men Of the British and
French armies and instil into them alb
solute confidence in the final outcome
Of the war but has equally served to
depress and render doul tful the rank
and file of the Germans.
There are many observers also, who
believe that with the Germans forced
back out of the more rugged country,
the fighting may assume a more open
character next spring.
Coupled with this goes the suggestion
that real strategic operations may be-
come possible next year for the first
time since the armies dug in after the
retreat from the Marine Spring NAV
see gigantic movements set afoot to
break the deadlock of trench warfare.
Whether combined land and sea as
sauit on the exposed flank Of the Ger
man line might be included. no officer
would predict

"a FIyinq Schools Authorized

"a Flying Schools Authorized
Twenty-four flying schools have been
authorized, the statement reveals and
besides the thousands training mere
students from the United States are
training in all the Allied countries
while many of them are undergoing
intensive schooling behind several OF
the battle fronts. The men now IN
Europe will be turned over as t1nished
aviators t the American troops in
France.
American machines also are being
built abroad and Mr.. Baker said that
approximately one fourth of the num-
Der soon to be needed will be made in
the allied countries. In that connec-
ton stress was laid upon the neces-
sity for greatly developing and ex-
panding the aircraft industry in the
United States, all the summer and
part of the early fail having been de-
voted to this essential work.
Time, too, has been required to bring
| under government control many or
the materials required for the manu-
facture of aircraft, both for this gov
eminent and the Allies. as well as to

such materials.
Provision also had to be made for
the manufacture of the many accesso-
ries necessary to aircraft service at
the front. such as machine guns on
servation apparatus, cameras and the
like, and another essential for the
quick building Of great air fleets for
both America and its Allies was in
ternational standa rdization in materi-
ais and their specifications.
The Liberty Motor"
The designing of satisfactory mo-
tor also was necessary and the Lib
erty motor" was the result of the
builders of the country. The signal
corps and its staff of foreign advisers
the secretary said, are well satisfied
win the progress made since this mo-
tor was designed. While it is not
possible to make public details of the
work accomplished, Mr.. Baker assert

its extensive aircraft program are he

There is practically no limit to the

"Bolo Pasha seemed wholly loyal to
his own land. l had no reason to sup

He was very polite and apprecia-

and invited me to dinner which he
gave to a number of ladies and gentle
men, in the public dining room at Sher

trivial, as il is at all such social dim

No Corruptivs American Journalists
There Is no evidence to show. Mr. Lew
is said, that any OF this fund was used
IN an EFFORT to corrupt American iouranl-
lists. Apparently Bolo's only purpose IN
coming to this country was to arrange a
channel for getting money from Germany
10 france through the aid Of Won Bern
storf. There is evidence that Bolo Pasha
endeavored to obtain American canitaI ~
finance the purchase OF French newsna-
pers. Mr.. Lewis said. but the terms on
which he sought to obtain this canitaI
were so preposterous that the only Amer
lean fnancier with whom he was in com

money is believed by the investigators ~
