u. s TRIO CAPTURES
FOES MILE BEHIND
THEIR OWN LINES
BY FRED $. FERGUSON.

WITH THE AMERICANS ON THE
MARINE, July "A corporal and two
privates returned to the lines with
two prisoners they seized in a house
a mile behind the German front. BY
night they passed the German de-
lenses, killed a sentry guarding
house. entered and dragged out the
two boches.
1t is now believed that the crack
Hun flying circus opposing the Amer
leans is composed OF survivors OF the
Won Richthofen and Boelke's cir
cuses. the leaders OF both of which
have been killed. After Boelke's
death, Baron Won Richthofen took
command of the prize GefrI1an outfit,
which was considerably increased in
size Twenty-one of these crack
boche aviators were pitted against
fifteen Americans in the finish fight
Friday. which resulted in an Ameri-
can victory. All were diving and
twisting in the air at once. their ma
chine guns going full blast.
Foe Towns Fired.
United States batteries have set
FIRE to FIVE hamlets behind the enemy
lines. and at one OF them an ammuni-
ton dump is believed to have been
blown up. American snipers are ac-
tive.
Contrary to the situation i'm the
spring. time is now the all-impOrtant
element to the boche Every days
delay in resumption of the German
offensive favors the allies.
Anne dncement that more than a
IL,
Is an Indication of how the barrier
against German victory is rapidly
growing.
Almost three months have elapsed
since the BOche supreme effort was
started. Meantime the American
fighting force has nearly been trebled.
Despite the heaviest losses, Hinden-
burg has not gained a single main
objective.
Allies Gaining.
Against the German losses, coupled
with the Austrian failure, allied
strength is constantly increasing. As
American power increases, Foch's
handicap of being forced to transport
his reserves around salients, while !
the Boche operates inside, is being
eliminated
A striking procurement has been
issued that Paris will be defended to !
the last ounce of allied strength-vir- |
tually meaning American strength, so
far as the road by way of Chateau
Thierry is concerned. The Americans
there have complete confidence. The |
total citations by the French com |
mander in that region, which include |
many Americans. cover a hundred |

would be bought. in the United States.
II is also declared that greater nitrate
sources will be necessary 10 the war is
prolonged, as all the present Chilean
fields are being worked to capacity.
II is pointed out that more nitrates

Street TRAFFIC
|. CONTROL SUBJECT
OF BEELER REPORT

John A Beeler. traffic expert and
consulting engineer, in a report &c
the Public Utilities Commission or
the Washington traffic situation, just
made public, says that with the
great increase in use of motor-driver
vehicles in our streets problems gov
erning the safe and convenient move
ment of traffic through city streets
have multiplied rapidly. Today there
are few problems of such vital impor-
lance to those dwelling in our cities
as the control Of street traffic"
The following recommendation
are made by Mr.. Beeler. who states
that N they are observed by pedes
TRANS and drivers OF automobiles and
enforced by the police, traffic OF all
kinds will not only be much facili-
tated, but the personal safety OF the
public will be considerably increased:
Barrier Needed.
In his recommendations for the i'm
provement Of the traffic, Mr.. Beeler
saws. "The movement OF vehicles TO
and from parking spaces in the mid
die of streets containing car tracks
should be controlled by providing a
removable barrier that will prevent
vehicles from encroachinG on car
tracks. This is most necessary on
PENNSYLVANIA avenue, particularly IN
the block between Fourteenth and
Fifteenth streets"
Regarding the traffic police Mr..
Reeler SAYS: "a separately organized
unit OF the police department should
be created to have entire control over
traffic regulation.
Speaking Of automobile parking,
Mr.. Beeler says: I'm addition to pres
ent parking regulations, no parking
should be permitted within fifteen
feet OF any car stop sign or pillow
pitt
or construction permits. Mr.. Beeler
saws. .Permits restricting the use Of
streets or sidewalks in the congested
district for traffic should be issued
only with the approval OF the traffic
division OF the police department.
Builders should not be allowed to use
space between the curb lines for con
struction purposes on streets IN the
congested district"
Right Of Way.
The right of way Of vehicles re-
ceiyes Mr.. Beeler's attention as fol-
lows: 'sWhen vehicles from different
directions approach an intersection
not controlled by a traffic officer, the
vehicle approaching from the right
should have the right Of way
while washington's streets are
generally wide" says Mr.. Beeler' IT
does not follow by any means that
they are safe. \ wide street invites
speed and also permits more stream
Of TRAFFIC. High speed, combined
with numerous lines OF traffic, greatly
multiplies the elements OF danger.
Some idea OF the seriousness Of the
traffic situation is realized when po-
lice records show that hfty-three
lives were sacrificed in Washington's
streets during the past year-one life
per week and the rate steadily in
creasing.
For all practical purposes there
remain but two kinds OF traffic on
the streets OF Washington: The street
car and the motor vehicle. The
status Of these two types Of trans
portation must be controlled and The
rtghts OF each defined and enforced"
