 The inventors do not make public all details of their plan for obvious reas- ons. But they remark, even if the Germans were to become aware of it no harm would be done, as there Is no pos sible defense against it. And the cleo tric bloodhound contains no new ap- paratus, nor is 1t based upon untrled ideas. In other words. it is some thing that could not be patented, for anybody with the necessary knowledge of already existing electric machinery and of torpedoes building could make It.
 The electric bloodhound could be turned loose alone in a sea infested with l. boats, were it not for the fact that no apparatus can be made that will distinguish between friend and foe. Therefore it's inventors propose that it be kept on a lead, like a live dog, attached to a submarine chaser
 by mena3 of a flexible electric cable which is attached to an automatic re- lease drum. The commander of the mother ship thus retains control over the ever vicious U boat bloodhound,

[By the Associated Press.l


With the American Army con the
.vesle, Aug. 1a-The Germans directed
counter actions against the Franco
American line betweent scissors and
Rheims today but without bringing
about any change in the situation.
Nor did the enemy reveal any inten-
ton OF an immediate attempt to recover
any portion Of the territory lost north
of the Marne.
At no point was a. hard blow, deiiv-
cred. The guns on either. side, how
ever, were seldom silent and at many
places, especially in the neighborhood
Of Fismette; north Of Fishes, where the
opposing lines are close, the Germans
repeatedly swept the American posi-
tions with machine gun FIRE.
Big Counter Attack Probable.
It is quite possible that the German
crown prince may decide upon a coun-
ter attack upon a big scale in that sec
tor, but such action would not neces-
state the bringing up Of divisions
which presumably are badly needed on
the British front and at other points.
& It seems possible he rsaltxes that
any attempt 70 wrest territory here
from the troops that have just takep Ii
would be extremely high priced.
On the other hand the Germans now
are in such positions along TIE line
south of the Aisne that they can afford
to take more time for retreat over
that riven confident that the allies win
not exert themselves too much lin AN
effort here at this time.
The Germans are fighting hard for
time but observers continue to report
Indications that the plans still include
a retirement. The French ana the
Americans, however. have not ceased to
exert pressure.
