WORK ON SEIZED SHIPS
IS BEING PUSHED AHEAD

In line with previously announced
plans, the former German steamship
Vogesen was yesterday shifted to a
berth where workmen in the employ
of the Gulf Machine Works may more
easily reach the big vessels side. The
Vogesen, moored near the other for
mer German vessel, will be over
hauled at considerable outlay, it is
said, and about one hundred mechan-
les are employed on a job which,
when completed, will probably turn
out two steamers for the service of
Uncle Sam.
Scares of workmen went to work
yesterday aboard the steamer Rudolf
Blumberg. During the day, it was
reported, a diver had been engaged,
trying to recover from the bottom of
the harbor a portion of the Blum
berg's engine, it being the opinion
that missing parts were purposely
thrown into the water when relations
were broken. The divers search has
so far been unsuccessful.

Old Glory Flies At Front
American AUi0tors Make Good

On the French Front, Wednesday
Evening, May 0.-(From a Staff
Correspondent of The Associated
Press.)-"Sorry we saw only one
German bird-and he made off
quickly" This was the gist of the
report made by ten American avi-
ators on their return this evening
from a long search extending from
St. Quentin to CTaOnne.
The Americans who had been far
over the German lines, gathered
around the American flag which
floats beside the tri-coIor on the avi-
alton ground and related to Captain
Thenault, commander Of the squad
ron, incidents of their reconnais-
sance. The flag is the first Ameri-
can emblem to be flown by American
fighters on the French front. 1t
came from Orange, \. J.
The correspondent witnessed the
departure and return of the Ameri-
cans, who fly in machines of great
speed. There is no occasion for their
French commander to order them to
make flights. They themselves Of

airmen. Today only six were told to
depart, but four others Joined in the
chase on their own initiative.
The task of the Americans is al
ways perilous, for they are obliged
to seek the Germans over their own
territory, but they are fully confident
of their ability to cope with enemy
machines. This confidence is shared
by their commander, who referred
proudly to the squadrons' record Of
90 German airplanes, the destruction
of which has been confirmed, while
others are known to have been
brought down.
The work OF the squadron is appre-
cfated highly by every branch Of
the French service. The desire IS
expressed widely for more American
squadrons of this charactr, which pro-
tect from attack the observation and
range regulating airplanes and act as
escorts for bombarding squadrons.
The American airInen still are
wearing the French uniform. They
all desire to remain together, but
numbers OF tlgam are fully qualified,
according to their officers, to become
leaders of squadrons.
