Leading American ace in the French Flying corps Baylies was downed during an unequal fight with four Ger man machines. With Sergeants Du- bonnet and Macari of the Stork Esca- drille he had finished several hours patrolling and they were about to re- turn at twilight when they sighted four single-seater areoplanes, which they mistook for British machines.
 But they were German, and they seized an opportunity to attack Baylies simultaneously. The enemy had the advantage of position and number, but Baylies put up a game fight. He at tempted to take the offensive, but his machine caught fire and fell after a few minutes, about six miles inside the German lines.
 Sergeant Macari thinks that Lieut.. Baylies may have had a good landing if he escaped death in the flames of his burning machine.
 From Feb. 19. 1918, up to June ', Lieut.. Baylies had gained F aerial victories and had been promoted from to sergeant and then to first lieutenant. On June he was award ed the cross of the Legion of Honor and he had been cited in French army orders several times previously. He was 22 years old.
 Joining the American field ambu- lance in February, 1916, Baylies served in it in France, Serbia and Macedonia. Rejected for, the American Aviation corps because of defective vision he was accepted by the French army, and rapidly gained reputation as an in trepid and successful airman

1T is BELIEVED GERMANY MAY
HAVE TO RUSH TROOPS TO
AID ALLY.
COUNTER ATTACK LIKELY
If italians Succeed in Delivering
Heavy Blow To Enemy 1t Is Certain
To Ageravate Internal Conditions
in the Dual Monarchy.

Washington = With practically all
official and unofficial reports indicat-
ing that the Austrian drive in Italy
has been sharply checked by the reor
ganized Italian army and the British
and French units supporting it, officers
here discussed the situation with an
increasing air of optimism.
In some quarters it is believed these
operations may have a decided effect
upon the situation on the western
front. There is a strong feeling that
if the Austrian drive breaks down the
Italians will launch counter-offensive
on a large scale. In that event, off.
Gals are certain that Germany would
rush divisions of it's troops to aid its
ally because of the effect an Italian
success would have upon the already
turbulent internal situation in Aus
tria.
Some officers are confident the lack
of success for the Austrians now dis.
closed already has resulted in a shift
ing of the forces on the western front
in preparation to rush divisions to she
Italian front to prop up weak spots IN
case of a counter-drive Certain Ger
man reserves must be held for thai
service, it was argued, as the disor-
ganization resulting from the failure
of an attempted drive to get through
is almost as demoralizing to an army
as an enemy advance.
While there is any doubt in the
minds of the German leaders as to the
progress of events in Italy a consider
/ able force of German shock troops
probably will be kept out of the west
ern front fighting and held at points
in Germany where they can be hast
ened to Italy if needed. Some Ulcers
! hold that the lull in the west may be
due in part, at least, to the fact that
the Germans feel it necessary to await
| developments in Italy.
In connection with the Italian situa-
ton, Secretary Baker stated that no
American fighting units are in that re-
] gion. American medical detachments
have been in Italy for some time, and
some American ayiators have been in
training there. The war secretary
recently stated, however. that Ameri-
can troops are to be sent to the Italian
front, but for military reasons the
plans of the expedition have not been
disclosed.
Persistent rumors that Maj. Gen.
I. eonard Wood was Stated to command
tie expedition have leen current ever
since that officer was detached from
his division just before it sailed for
France. No confirmation has been OBJ
tainable, but the fact that Gen. Wood
has been regularly assigned as COM
mander at Camp Funston is not believ-
ed to have any bearing on his ultimate
duty, as there are indications he is
under consideration for more import
I ant service.

ALLIES FRONT IS
HEAVILY SHELLED
BRITISH ADVANCED THEIR LINE
IN REGION OF DlcKE5UscH
AND SCHERPENBERG.

With the British Army in France
Intense bombardments have been
carried out by the Germans in various
sectors along the British front. These
have been especially heavy in Elan
ders, about Hinges-where the Brit
ish advanced their line considerably
Friday highland in the region OF
Dickebusch and Scherpenberg.
The initiative, so far as infantry ac-
tiyity was concerned, rested mainly
with the British, who carried out
number of highly successful raids.
A limited objective of 500 yards IN
depth was set for the enterprise. An
unusual feature of the attack was that
it was conducted entirely in the dark.
1t began shortly before midnight.
There was no moon to guide the as
saulting troops and the success of The
entering troops depended on each
man keeping his right direction as he
pushed forward in the blackness.
Holding this sector for the Germans
was the Eighteenth Reserve division,
which was among the first to violate
Belgian soil. 1t was the Eighteenth
division which committed such horri-
flying deeds in Termonds and Lou
vain, which brought down upon it the
/ excavations of hundreds of helpless
Belgian women.
As the British advanced the enemy
opened a heavy fire from every ma
chine gun nest along the line. The
Germans were shooting more or less
blindly in the dark, which saved the
British many casualties. But it was
trying work to push ahead through the
barrage of bullets sweeping waist high
across No Mans Land. The attack
ing infantry finally rklehed the enc
mys posts and bitter hand-to-hand
lighting occurred at most of these
nests.
The battle in the region of La
Pannerie, where the Gremans were es-
pecially strong, was exceedingly
fierce. Here the contending troops
struggled throughout most of the
night With the arrival of daybreak,
however, the British had secured all
their detectives and forced the enemy
to fall back.
Upward of 200 prisoners remained
in the British hands. Large numbers
of German dead against gun positions
told of the desperate fighting that mad
taken place.

ALLIES HURL BACK
AUSTRIAN SOLDIERS
FIGHTING ALONG PAVE RIVER is
REPORTED MOST BITTER
HARD FIGHTING CONTINUES.

Rome.-Not only are the Italians
and their British and French COM
rades in arms holding in check the
Austrian offensive along the greater
part of the 100-mile battle front from
the region southeast of. Trent to the
Adriatic sea, but they have turned ag-
gressors on some OF the more import
ant sectors, especially in the mountain
regions.
Counter-attacks in the hill country
in the north at several points have re-
suited in the occupation by the allies
of ground won from them in the mi
tial onslaught and the rectifcation OF
their lines, while stiffening of the
front along the Piave river has made
impossible for the time being at least,
further fording of the stream by the
enemy.
Hard fighting is still in progress,
however, with the Austrians bringing
the strongest kind of pressure to bear
against the allied armies on both
northern and eastern parts of the bat
tlefeld in an endeavor to reach the
lines and gain access in force to the
plains.
The strokes of the enemy are partic-
ularly violent on the Monticello plateau,
the highest bit of ground along the
middle reaches of the Piave, the cap
ture of which would give him coin
mand of the roads leading through
Tresviso to Venice and fair way
westward through the province of
previso. The Italians are infiicting
heavy casualties on. the troops of Em-
peror Charles which crossed the river
at this point.
To the south from st. Andrea to
Fossalata, respectively, the northern
and southern tanks Of the famous
Zenson loop, where last year the Aus
TRANS effected crossing of the Piavc,
only later to be driven back with san
culinary losses, and from Fossalata to
San Dona Di Piave the fighting also
is of violent character with the Ital-
ians heroically and successfully, ac-
cording to the Rome War Office, hold
ing the line of the river.
Between Candelu and the Zenson
loop, where the Austrians crossed the
Piave in Saturdays fighting, the Itas-
ians have driven them back to the riv-
er bank and are endeavoring to push
them across the stream. The lat
est Austrian official communication
records the gain of additional ground
west of San Dona Di Piave and the
capture of the village of Capo Sile on
the eastern edge of the lagoon region,
in the province of Venetia and about
20 miles from the city of Venice It
self
Thus far the Italians, British and
French troops have made prisoner of
more than $500 Austrians. while the
Austrian War Office asserts that 49,
600 prisoners have been taken by the
Austrians
