saying:
II am firmly convinced that the

Chairman Baruch of the War Indus

the needed man power to the army BY
asking exemption for the lowest pos

Aviators Affirm
Two Canadian Airmen,
Bearing Wounds and Med
ais, Tell of Atrocities

AN ATLANTIC PORT, Sept. IL
l"o Canadian avators, bearing medals
and wounds, reached this port o-day
on British liner, with new tales of
Hun cruelty. They were unfortunate
enough to fall into German hands.
captain Daniel Owen, young Nova
Scotian, although his left eve had been
shot out while battling in the clouds.
decIared he will return to fight as soon
as he has recovered sufficiently.
Captain Owen lost his eye in a FIGHT
against great odds. He had gone on
daylight bombing trip into German
territory on the Lorraine sector. when
ne was attacked by six German ma
chlnes: He was thirty miles from his
own lines, and had no choice but to
fight. ~
One of the Germans came to close
quarters, while Owen was engaging the
others, and poured a fusillade of bullets
INTO his machine. Owen was hit in the
eye by bullet, his observer was struck
a. minute later. and ten minutes after
the battle had started the engine was
hit and disabled.
Gut OF control, with two badly wound
cd men as sole occupants, the machine
began to drop to the ground, but the
German adversaries, ranged around,
continued their hrlng until they alight-
ed Then, instead of taking them where
they could get medical attendance, the
German f1lers leisurely started to rob
Owen and his companion of everv pos
sesslon--money, watches and other val
uables.
They were then dumped into a dirt
cart and jolted to the house of a priest.
where they thrown on the floor and
left for four hours, the only attention
they received being from new plunder-
ers, who went through their clothes.
They were finally brought to Heidel-
berg, from which place they were ex-
changed.
Captain Owen said that the treat
ment he and other Allied prisoners re-
celved was terrible. The food was in
sufficient, and it was only by Red Cross
packages that the prisoners were able
to live at all.
Lieutenant David w. Pratt, of To
ronto. fellow passenger, although he
is eighteen and looks no more than fif-
teen, has been flying year on the
italian front and has the record of
bringing down three Austrian planes
in one engagement For this feat he
was awarded the Italian Military
Medal.
Pratt said that the engagement took
place $4,000 feet in the air, while he
was patrolling the Piave sector. One
after another he sent his adversaries
down in flames. Then, while he was
descending himself. he got into the
barragc from his own batteries and his
machine was wrecked He fell $500
feet and was picked up unconscious and
half dead After long stay in a hos
pital, he is here to recuperate.

Air Tense With Expectancy

Becoming Active
Ludendorff Doing His Ut

Allied Chief
By Arthur S. Draper
Especial Cdbic to The Tribunc)

Copyright. 1918 Now York Tribune Incl
LONDON, Sept. 1.-THE brcvity of
to-day's communicates contrasts sharply
with the detailed reports of a week. AFRO.
lhclr very brcvity creates feeling of
awe and encourages the belief that
foch is about ready to undertake other
operations. They reflect the calm be-
fore the storm.
The quiet moment is really artificial.
What fighting has taken place in the
last twentyfour hours has been of a
local character, with here and there q
ftful blast of artillery ire.
The British have withstood several
vigorous enemy counter attacks in the
ghborhood of Mocuvres. where the
Canal du Nord becomes part of the
Hindenburg dcfcnces at Ecourt, St.
Quentin and around Epehy. These re-
actions arc unimportant details and in
no way affect the general situation, al
though Berlin claims the capture Of
5000 prisoners in one of these engage
ments
Ludendorff undoubtedly expects
further trouble, and ho has hopes of
preventing Foch from springng a sur
prise attack
Reports from the Somme indicate
that the enemy is trying to food as
much of the country as possible so as
to handicap Ally tanks. Ludendortf
hopes that the strength of the Hin
denburg defences will allow him to
strip that front and use the troops on
other parts of the line
,At La Fere and st. Quentin the
French have advanced right to the
canal. and if Foch desires to press
further here he is in fair way to
break the enemy's communications
Mangin's army apparently is resting
while the artillery on his front is
engaged in a lively duel. In Cham
pagne, the Nosges and the Woevre,
from Rheims to the Alps, German pa
trolls suddenly have become active.
The armies which have rested secure
iy for months behind what they consid-
cred safe lines have become all alive.
There is good guessing match on
between Foch and Ludendorff. Behind
the enemy's lines troops are being
moved raDidly

Gorgas Impressed
BY Care of Wounded

PARIS, Sept. 1o.-Msjor General
William c. Gorgas, Surgeon General Of
the United States army, following an
inspection tour to-day of the Paris mil
itary hospitals where Americans are
undergoing treatment, expressed to a
representative of the Associated Press
his satisfaction with the manner in
which the wounded are being cared for.
"Thc cheerfulness and commodous
arrangements and the genuine spirit of
hopefulness of the wounded in the hos
pitfalls have been the most impressive
thing witnessed by me since my ar
rival in France" said General Gorgas
ut is inspiring to see the determina-
tion displayed by our men; they are
filled with real spirit and there is an
atmosphere of happiness among them,
although they are suffering from
wounds They are well taken care Of
and the work of the Medical Depart
ment which | have seen so far has
been above reproach."

League of Nations
Is Now Under WAY,
Says New Zealander

Representatives of Great Britain in
New York City met at a hastily ar
ranged luncheon at Sherry's yesterday
to greet the Prime Minister of New
Zealand. W. NJ. Massey, and his Finance
Minister, Sir Joseph Ward, who are
returning home after an imperial war
council in London, and the Right Rev
Charles Gore, Bishop of Oxford, who
with Dr.. A. T. Cutlery, representing
the Reformed churches Of England, is
starting on a speaking tour of this
country. The two parties made port
en- the same day.
Both Mr.. Massey and Sir Joseph
Ward said that the results of the coun-
eli they attended in London could not
be made public now. "But good work
has been done for Great Britain, for
the Allies and for humanity at this
meeting" Mr.. Massey said. 'Its his
tory will be made public later-pcrhaps
at the close of the war"
That Germany would have a stiff
time of 1t commercially after the war
and that a League of Nations had been
definitely forecast by the present
United States, was made clear in the
remarks of both these men.
Great Britain did not enter this war
for territory, but to save its honor and
for the defence of small nations" Mr..
Massey said "But after some expert
cnce which we have had with the Ger
mans in the South Pacific, we know
we do not want them there any more.
We are not going to allow the menace
Of a German nation in the South
Pacific if we can help it to- day "
Speaking of a league of nations, he
said: There is League of Nations
here at hand in the alliance of Great
Britain and AmericaN

to Turn Over Crops

AMSTERDAM, Sept. 1.-THE last act
of Minister of Agriculture Posthuma
before handing over his portfolio to-
day to his successor, NJ. Van Ysse-
steyn, was to send circular to the

600 tons promised from America, this
insurng continuation of the present

at the monthly rate of consumption Of
37,O 900 tons.
M. Posthuma urges the religious
leaders to impress upon the rural pop
ulation the necessity of delivering
their entire crops, pointing out that
the calculations do not allow for anv
neglect Of duty by the farmers nor for
mishaps to the American shipments.
