Australians Play Important Role
 in Offensive in Belgium

British Front in France and Bel gium, Thursday, Aug. 2.-(By The As sociated Press delayed) The British and French and the Germans alike along the front of the battle in Elan ders, still held their positions late to- day in an iron grip of bogle produc- ed by the torrential rainstorm which has been deluging the battle line from Tuesday evening until today, when it showed signs of moderating
 Beyond artillery operations which are continuing with great intensity, there is little activity except at one or two points, and the French and British are resting. on consolidation and strongly organized positions com manding the territory which they captured in the first few hours on- slaught.
 St. Julien today continued to be a storm center, the artillery of both sides pounding steadily at their op- penent's positions. The British were again in possession of the 300 yard front just north of FreZenberg, which the Germans wrested from them in a counter attack late yesterday
 Reports of Tuesdays battle show that the front between Hollbeke and LaBasseeville was the scene of some of the heaviest fighting of the day The Australians and English charging along this line swept over large num- bers of Germans lying in shell holes who were overlooked in the semi darkness. 1mm ediately after the British troops had gone beyond these h oles the Germans began sniping at the rear of advancing forces These snipers eventually were dealt with and the shell holes cleared.

by the British airmen. One typical instance will indicate the nature of the important work they carried out. A British aviator crossed tho Ypres salient just as the infantry attack came at dawn. For a time he pa trolled the roads and canals, now and then running the gauntlet of enemy fire at height of thirty feet in order to obtain information for the guidance of the infantry in their advance. Dur ing this patrol work he came to a German airdrome.
 Battle Almost on Ground.
 He circled low and dropped a bomb on one of the sheds. This brought Germans tumbling in a panic from the buildings He turned his machine gun on them, and, circling about the field. bombed two other sheds with disastrous effect.
 The Teutons finally got machine gun into action, but he dived and at 20 feet silenced it with his own gun. He circled the field, firing with his machine gun through the doors of buildings at the huddled enemy within.
 Leaving the airdrome, the British aviator attacked two German mount ed officers and put them to flight. A little later he encountered a column of 200 troops and swept along the line with his machine gun working steadily The entire column was dis persed leaving many of their com rades lying in the road.
 Two battle airplanes appeared and the Briton engaged them both, send ing one to earth and putting the other to flight.
 His next objective was a troop train. He travelled along it's entire length, pumping bullets into the-crowded cars. This completed the story of one avia- tors fights for the day, but he later did valuable scouting work over the enemy lines.
 Numerous instances are related of nilots charging the anti aircraft gun ners and, ma chine gun operators at a height of 30 or 40 feet and silencing the guns. Pistol duels between the British aviators and the German in fantry were not uncommon occurs

Probably the attack was made well
out at sea. It took two days for the
news to reach Washington and the
dispatch shows the time that must
have elapsed before definite word
could reach Admiral Sims. The SUR
vivors are believed to be already safe
ashore somewhere in France or Eng
land.
SO far as known no high officers Of
the army or navy were due to return
on the Antilles. There is no definite
information on that point. however. as
only General Pershing knows who was
sent home on the ship. The reports
so far received show merely that a
number of army officers and 80 en-
listed men OF the army were aboard.
Evidently Admiral Sims rushed his
tidings off before he communicated
with General Pershing.

May Have Been Worse,


Quick upon the wave of sorrow at
the news of the loss of the transport
came a feeling of distinct relief be-
cause she had met her fate homeward
bound and not on the way over with
troops. The only soldiers on board
We're returning to the hospital or on
! special assignment. Had the full
| complement of the transport been
aboard. the loss undoubtedly would
have been written in hundreds. as she
was struck in the most vulnerable
spot and went under SO swiftly that
few could have escaped.
Officials are confident that those
| who survived owe their lives to the
careful attention given by the navy
department to the equipping of trans
| ports with lifehoats and life RATS.
1t is a fixed rule that enough boats
| and RATS shall be carried to afford
| place for every man aboard. even
| though the ship keel over and put
| half her boats out of commission.
All Engine Men Lost.
The loss OF the ships engineer Of
/ ficers indicates the probability that
no one of the engine and fire room
| forces on duty escaped. Probably
most of them died in the blast of the
| explosion of the torpedo, which tore
| it's way into the engineroom COM
| partments.
The heavy loss among the army en-
listed men indicated cannot be ac-
counted for until further details come
in. Probably they and the navy men
| were in their quarters below and could
not make their~way on deck before
the ship took her final plunge. The
army. navy and ships officers and the
others who We're rescued probably
were on deck or in cabins from which
a step took them to the deck and a
chance for their lives.
