THE FIELD, July 17.-Some Of the
most violent and spectacular air
fighting Of the war is under way on
the Champagne front. Allied airmen
have clearly maintained their super
iority.
Bombing planes flew over the battle
field in great numbers. One group
consisted of more than hundred
machines.
Fighting planes ceaselessly poured
machine gun fire into masses Of Ger
mans One squadron blocked the most
important bridge over the Marne for
fifteen minutes, not a single Boche
being able to pass.

costly failure so far.
The battle is continuing. but it con-

operations along the new fronts

Fighting on these scattered sectors is

that the allies are safely holding.

immediate advance of at least eight
ldlometers Give miles) to be effec-
tive. Nowhere has such an advance
been accomplished. Even the allied
first positions have been passed only
with difficulty.

been decorated by the King. The
story of his heroic conduct and skill
form one of the most remarkable Of

In April, 1917, the steamship in
which Mr.. Furncaux was serving was
torpedoed by the enemy. and the legs
of a Lascar, who was on the spot
where certain deck plates had buck
led and broken, were caught so firm
ly between the plates that he would
have gone down with the ship. Mr..
Furneaux, however. went to the mans
assistance and MANAGED to get one
