FIRE IN NORFOLK
 AVIATION GROUNDS

Norfolk, Va, July 24-The main hangar and a dirigible balloon were destroyed and more than a dozen aeroplanes and several buildings were damaged by fire at the naval air craft station here today. Buckling of one of the main braces on the gas bag of dirigible as 1t was trying to make landing caused the balloon to become unmanageable and settle on the roof of the main hangar. While attendants were preparing to remove the balloon the gas bag exploded, set ting fire to the hangar. The flames spread to other buildings before 1t was brought under control.
 The damage is estimated at less than $50,000. The loss will not hln- der the work at the station Com mandant P. N. l. Bellinger tonight stated.

MOB ATTEMPTS TO
 HANDLE TRAVELLING MAN
BENT ON WIRE AklNG VENGEANCE ON HIM FOR ALLEGED AS.
 SAULT ON GIRL

Okmulgee, Okla, July 24.--Ira Will Hams, a travelling man for St. Louis hardware company, 35 years of age, Is being guarded tonight on the fourth floor of the Okmulgee county jail from a threatening mob lingering in the vicinity of the jail and apparently bent upon wreaking vengeance upon him as the result of his alleged as- sault upon Miss Sun Bond, 21 years old, cashier in local provision house.
 Miss Bond informed local officials that she had accompanied Williams on an automobile ride Tuesday night, and that, when about one mile from OkmuIgee, Williams committed the assault.
 Williams was arrested today but his attorney waived preliminary examina- tion when a threatening crowd gath cred in the courthouse corridors.

RAIDER IS SEEN OFF
 NEW ENGLAND COAST
STEAMER WAS ABOUT 25oo TONS AND LOOKED AS IF IT HAD
 BEEN AT SEA A LONG TIME

Gloucester, Mass, July 2i.-Captain William Price of the fishing schooner Elizabeth King, which arrived here tonight reported an encounter last Sunday with what he believes Q German raider about 20 miles south southeast of Nantucket South Shoal lightship.
 Captain Price said the steamer ap- preached within 100 feet of the Eliz- abeth King, keeping forward and aft guns trained on the schooner.
 q expected he would hail us." said Captain Price, ''but he did not so l asked him through a megaphone if he had seen any fishing vessels in that vicinity. An officer shouted back something in a foreign language that none of us understood.
 "The steamer was about 2,500 tons and looked as if it had been at sea a long time. It bore no name nor home port and flew no flag. It had been camouflaged apparently, but the paint was nearly washed off and the sides were covered with iron rust There was a very large crew aboard, Captain Price thought"
 The incident occurred between 8 and o'clock in the morning. This was three hours before the submar- inc appeared off the Cape Cod shore and attacked a tugboat and its tow of barges The position given by Captain Price places the steamer in the steamer in the lane of trans Atlantic travel. The sinking of the schooner Robert and Richard of the Gloucester fleet Monday by a Ger man submarine has not intimidated fishing here. Schooners have gone to sea since the news was received and the captains declare they will keep on fishing in spite of the enemy submarines.

ALLIED TROOPS CONTINUE
 TO KEEP ON ADvANcI NC
Northwest of Rheims the British and French Have Been Fighting ances- sanity for Five Days-Germans De- ing Utmost to Protect Pivot.

On the French Front in France, July 24.-The fighting today as ex- treamely severe, southward of the Ourcq, where the Americans took Epieds, which they lost yesterday, and advanced, together with the French, at least three kilometers, threatening Fere-en-Tardenois which is under constant bombardment. Around by Armentieres the Ger mans had massed hundreds of ma chine guns which caused some trouble but could not stay the advance of the |allied troops. The Tourneiles woods Mas reached, Brecy fell and tho Franco Americans obtained footing in the LeFere wood.
 Everywhere the enemy resistance was determined, especially along the Marne, where they still hold some positions along the banks of the river, probably hoping by keeping posses sion of them as long as possible to save some of their immense stores of ammunitions and other war ma teriais which had been assembled with view to making a great ad- vance south of the elarne.
 Northwest of Rheims the British and French have been fighting the Germans necessarily for five days. The Germans are doing their utmost in this vicinity to protect the pivot on which their armies are retreating northward. All their efforts, how ever, have not prevented the allied troops from going forward and dur ing the last two days hundreds of prisoners from enemy shock divisions have been taken while several Ger man points established in the small woods have succumbed to allied att tacks.
 The British resumed their opera aions this morning and made a fur ther advance in the woods around vrigny. A considerable pocket of thickly wooded ground was taken from the enemy The possession of this wood is of considerable local importance.
 Meanwhile the French continue to press with unabated vigor on the western side of the German salient

least until the big weapons have been dragged back to. safety. The Amer ican advance reported today through Chatelet forest and 10 the northeast of Epieds is beginnig to menace seri- ously the enemy positions further eastward on the Marne which are cov- ering his withdrawal within the sa- lient.
 It has been estimated that the Ger mans now have as many as half million men in the limited salient they still hold. About forty divisions are understood to have been identified there,
 The irregular shaped pocket is about thirty miles broad at it's base, between Soissons and Chateau Thi- erry; while its greatest depth is around twenty miles, Obviously, it is said, the enemy is badly cramped for space, it is to handle his huge army.
 Should the final rail connection northward come under direct gun fire it is regarded as possible by many officers that a veritable rout would result at the massed forces of the en- emy could not all be gotten away
 Appraised at it's lowest probable value, officers say the counter stroke already has drawn in the enemy's most vital necessity his reserves.
 His whole plan of campaign has been overturned in less than week and it is regarded as more than proo- able that the initiative seized by General Foch will remain in his hands permanently, to be amplifiel into blows at other parts of the line.

to supply to the army in the field.
 "The rapid and complete seizure and economic use of provisions may prove of capital importance for the continuation of the operations"
 The pillaging of the back areas, of which von Boehm complains, appears to have become widespread. Recent orders issued by the commanders of the eighteenth and second armies opposite the British has revealed ex- cesses which seem almost incredible considering that the German military machine has been notorious for it's iron discipline.
 Trains have been held up and the guards killed and provisions carried away by gangs of desperate soldiers intent upon satisfying their hunger, even if they are shot for it.
 As a rule the troops in the front line are well fed and prisoners re gently taken corroborate this, but in order to supply them with adequate provisions the rations of the divisions resting or training In the back areas are cut down to a minimum and the amount doled out to each man today is not sufficient to satisfy his normal needs.
 All the orders issued on the decad- ence of discipline has been couched in curiously language, being in effect more of an appeal than threat, as though the higher command realized that the men were in a dangerous mood and disinclined to submit to severe punishment.
 While too high hopes must not be based on these reports of insubordl- nation, 1t remains a fact that the dis cpline of the German army at least on the western front Is in a bad way and the present defeat on the Marne does not seem likely to improve it.
