The war department is taking steps
to assure future reports on engage
ments in which Americans figure,

ficial communicates from Berlin.
BAKERS ANNOUNCEMENT.
Secretary Bakers announcement on
the engagement read:
1.-THE war department has received a
dispatch from the commanding general
of the American expeditionary forces,
which states that hefoTe daylight on
Nov. 8. salient occupied for instruc-
ton by a company of American in
fantry was raided by Germans.
1.-The enemy put down a heavy fire
cutting off the salient from the rest
of the line. Our losses are three kill
ed, five wounded and ~ captured or
missing.
'The losses Of the Germans are I'M
known. One wounded German was
taken prisoner by the Americans"
Counting sailors taken from mer-
chant ships sunk, and others there are
now about 100 American prisoners in
Germany. The IL taken Saturday,
however are the first infantrymen
from these shores to find their way to
the Teuton detention camps.
PURPOSE OF RAID.
War department officials believe the
German raid was made deliberately
either to terrorize the Sammies, new
to trench warfare, or to gain informa-
| ton how strong the American forces
are, etc.
| Further raids Of similar character
| are looked for, particularly as new
| units of the American forces take
their places for the first time in the
| trenches. The Germans knew, war de
partment officials say, that they ha'
nothing much to gain by an attack Oh
the American trenches, inasmuch a.
the Americans are backed up by vet
eran French troops. They are pur
suing their tactics of terror" merely
1t is believed.
Little, if any, comment Is expected
from General Pershing as to the man
ner in which the American troops me
and battled the attackers. But the feel
ing is universal in official circles tina
the Germans did not have an easy tim
in taking captive the IL Americans.

PREDICTS PASSENGER
AIRPLANES BETWEEN
NEW YORK AND LONDON

LONDON, June 2S.-A TRANSATLANTIC
line of airplanes carrying passengers
between New York and London in two
DAYS. at total cost of about 10 cents a
mile was predicted by G. Holt Thomas
in an address which he delivered be-
fore the Aeronautical Society of Great
Britain.
To complete the rosy forecast, pro-
thetic films were displayed showing
the departure and voyage of transat-
lantic airplane and also the dropping
of mail pouches at postal air stations
between London and the North of Eng
land
/ Mr.. Thomas, who has had large ex-
perience in flying and building air
craft, said that airplane mail service
could be established commercially. "A
special aeroplane will enable the bus
mess man to leave London in the
morning, transact his business in
Paris, and be home to dinner again,
he said. 1T will take him to Bagdad
il day and half or New York in
two days"
The cost from London to Paris, he
added, would be just over dollar per
mile running one machine each way
ard with four machines it would work
out at rs cents A profitable charge
for passengers would be $25 dollars
A mail letter of one ounce could be
pFoftably carried for one cent and
three pound parcel for IS cents. A
passenger could go from London to
Marseilles in eight hours instead OF
twenty three, at cost of so or mails
could be carried for two cents an
ounce.
Constantinople could be reached in
twenty hours for s125 a passenger and
mails at five cents an ounce. Dealing
with farther distances he pictured
iGeylon as being only two and three
auarter days from London, Toxic four
and a half days Sydney FIVE days.
capetown, three and half days and
Vancouver three days.
Lord Cowdray. the chairman of the
meeting said he believed Mr.. Thomas
estimate of costs to be near the mark

WAR HAS HAD MARKED EFFECT
UPON WOMEN'S DRESS

LONDON, June 2S.-There has never
been a time when women were more
willing to accept standard dress or
uniforms than they are at present.
That is the most marked effect of the
war upon women's dress. All uniforms
have acquired dignity in women's eyes.
The housemaid does not object to the
cap and apron badge of servitude. the
worker in the bank dons an overall
cheerfully, women in various organiza-
tons wear the khaki, the Red Cross
and volunteer aid workers are proud
of their uniforms.
An expert French designer, discuss
ing these changes, says:
There always will be the women
who want fripperies, the women who
try to insist upon something quite
