of frightened horses. But the method

plane will fly along-not merely across

such thing may happen, as at Hamel,
where airplanes and tanks co-operated
to such purpose that the infantry adj

It is routine work for the low-iiying
airplane to interrupt German working
parties far behind the lines with ma
chine gun fire, and when one remem-
bers that the same parties are likely to
be bombed in their billets from the air
by night, their heart for work may be
imagined, for both day and night the
bombing Of railways, airdromes, camps
and dumps goes on with it's simultane-
Gus effect upon supply, communication
and morale, and far behind the lines
the sources of supply on the Rhine are
being persistently devastated.
And this is almost by the way. The
soldier comes before supply, and it is
the soldier who is the objective of the
low-fying airplane, the soldier who
suffers in person and morale, by the
ceaseless bombing of billets. It is the
aggressive air war of the entente which
steadily and accumulatively depreci-
ates the morale of the German soldier.
sand an ammunition dump was

lie behind many of these brief stereo-
typed phrases in the official commune
cation! "An ammunition dump was
blown up,"-and much else besides.
Sprays Them With Bullets.
Here is just one little incident told
by Lieut.. L. Walmsley Of the r. A. F.,
which may serve by way Of illustra-
ton:
The Germans were reported to be
concentrating at the village of X. A
little chaser was run out, and the pilot
ordered to confirm the report, to harass
the enemy as much as possible with
machine gun fire; also to use his
precious light bombs on the best avail
able target.
Ten minutes flying brings him to
the trench lines, and the deafening
noise of battle browns even the sound
Of the engine.
The Germans are attacking and a
long, ragged, gray line of piled up
corpses, which the airman at first mis-
takes for sandbags. shows the terrible
price they are paying.
But sheltering behind this CHASTITY
rampant of human flesh are living
Huns, and the pilot dives down until
he is only so feet above them. Then,
as he skins over the line, he opens fire
with both guns, pouring out hail of
death that soon visibly thickens the in
animate gray masses.
But there is even more important
work at hand. The village of x is
quickly reached. The market square
is crowded with artillery and ammu.
milton carts. Diving to height Of less
than 800 feet, the airman drops a
bomb, and turns, just in time to avoid
the force of the conclusion caused by
the tremendous explosion that fol-

the ammunition cart, and the havoc
wrought in that market square battles

Artillery Fire Main Activity in

Dominate No Mans

With the American Army on the
Lorraine Front, Sept. 2l.-Fires
were observed today in the town
Of Dommartin, behind the German
line on this front, together with
heavy movement of men and wag-
on trains behind the line. These
were taken to indicate a possible
further retirement of the Germans.
A harassing fire was kept up at
different points, however, against
the allied line and on positios in
the rear.
With the exception of an exchange
of artillery fire, there was little ac-
tivity.
The Germans are using gas shells
to a limited extent, especially for
sprinkling wooded areas. The towns
Of Vilcey and Xammes and the
Presle woods, toward the eastern
part of the front southeast of Metz,
are points that are being more heav-
lily shelled by the Germans.
The American guns are returning
the fire and are harassing the Ger
mans to an equal degree.
No attempt was made by either
side today to advance. The Ameri-
can patrol continued to dominate
the greater part of the space be-
tween the lines.

HUN M0NARCHS'
SPIRIT BROKEN
BY U. S. POWER
Senator Lewis Says American
Army Has Opened Eyes Of
Germans and Assured
Kaiser'S Doom.

! New York. Sept. 2i.-The smash
ing Of the St. Mihiel salient by the
American army has filled Germany
with terror and is the sure forerun-
ner of an overthrow of the Prussian
military domination by the German
people, according to an opinion ex-
pressed here today by Senator
James Hamilton Lewis of Illinois,
who has just returned from France
and England.
The German ruler, Senator Lewis
said, are aware that the people of
Germany have awakened to a reali-
cation of the power of General
Pershing's troops and "the spirit OF
German monarchs and military cap
tains has been shattered" by this
knowledge.
France and Great Britain, he add
ed, freely admit thatthe entrance
of American fighters into the fray
has turned the tide. Premier Gle
menceau told him, the senator said,
that Americas prowess was ''the
salvation of the hour" while the
British prime minister declared that
"the influence of President Wilson
and America upon the institutions
of Britain and the spirit of its peo-
pie was equivalent in itself to new
British army"
"The humiliation of the German
military by the fresh troops of
America has filled Germany with
wonder and terror" the senator
said. 1T recognizes that if such can
be the result of the first move of
America with its first installment of
troops, the millions who are waiting
and who will soon be at Germany's
doors mean destruction for the mil
itary hopes of Prussia.
German rulers see that this
American surprise is the sure fore
runner for the German people clean
ing their house of the military mon
sters and establishing authority at /
Berlin of their own choice, which
will no longer deceive them as to the
truth of their military situation nor
impoverish them to maintain a war
of destruction of peaceful nations in
order to give glory to military mas
tiers and kingships and principalities
to select few"

U. s. ASKS ACTION
TO END TERRORISM

and MOTTO establish an eastern battle
front or in any way to interfere
with the internal affairs in Russia.
Precedent for Action.
A precedent for this action on the
part of the United States has been
found in situation of a few years
ago when this country, after maxi
ing formal protest against the
lndlscriminate massacre Of the Ar
menians by the Turks, called upon
the. nations of the world to take
similar actions. This alignment of
the civilized powers of the world
had an immediate effect inasmuch
as Germany. even then friendly and
in alliance with Turkey, became
alarmed and exerted its influence
upon the Turkish government.
The situation in Russia, however,
is regarded by officials of the Amer
lean government even more serious
than was that of the Armenians.
Russians are being executed by the
wholesale daily upon the slightest
pretext or upon no pretext at all.
The fact that person, whether Rus
sian or not, may be opposed to boil
sheviki, is. sufficient reason for his
execution. 1t is known that the
Russian people as a whole are op-
posed to the Lenine- Trotzky re-
gime, but are kept in subsection
by terrors. And it is to save these
loyal Russians that the United States
has called upon the civilized world
to take immediate action.
Duma Issues Appeal.
Amsterdam, Sept. 2l.-At a recent
meeting of the members OF the Rus
sian duma and the Russian imperial
council at Kiev it was resolved, says
telegram from that city, to issue
an appeal to the public opinion of
all governments to put an end to
the "bolshevist terror"
The Ukrainian council, the dis
patch adds, has decided to send
protest to all countries against the
arrest and shooting of Ukrainian
subjects in Russia and the ''in-
human" form of political struggle
now existing. The Ukrainian gov
eminent also has decided to ask
Germany to undertake the protec-
ton of Ukrainian Russia.
