NelUs of Defeat Is
Shaking Morale of
Enemy in Flanders
by The Associated Press)

WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN
FLANDERS. Aug. 1.-The ground on
TIE British front is now drying under
the hot sun. Except for the laying
dcwn of barrages here and there along
the line and the usual harassng fire
from both sides, however. the front
this morning was quiet.
From German prisoners the British
officers have learned that news regard
ing what has happened on the Aisne-
Marne front is now altering into the
German trenches opposite the British
lines. Prisoners who have been capt
ured in Flanders say that some of the
facts are just becoming known, and
scme dissatisfaction has been shown
because no further news has been
made public.
One prisoner said he had heard Of
the German failure at Rheims; but, he
added, he had been told that 800 En-
tente Allied tanks had been in opera
tion there, so he seemed inclined to ex-
cuse the Teuton defeat.
1t is evident that the German defeat
on the Marne is having full effect

Our Representatives

LONDON, Aug. 1.-Nine American
Congressmen, who, with the members
of the Naval Committee of the American
House of Representatives, make twenty
two members of Congress now in Lon
don, arrived this morning from France
and Italy. They had visited the Ameri-
cans on the Maine front. saw the fight
ing there, and said that they were
prouder than ever of America.
1--WE knew of Americas wonderful eff
fort" said Representative Cassius C.
Dowell, of Des Moines, Iowa, "but We
did not realize so much had been done
1t no longer is q case Of the United
States just getting into the war She
is in"
The other Congressman in the party
are John N. Tlllman and Thaddeus II.
Caiaway, of Arkansas; burto.. f..
Sweet, of Waverly, Iowa; John A..
Elston, of Berkeley, Cal; George NJ
Young, Of Valley City, NJ D.; NJ. Clyde
Kelly, Of Braddock, Penn; Louis c.
Cramton, OF Lapeer, Mich, and David
II. Kncheloe. of Madisonville, Ky.
Congressman Dowell said the most
cheering message he got on the Marine
front was from a boy who came from
his home town, Des Moines. The SOL
dler lay on a cot wounded, and had Just
Occl piouSNt III from the HShtlng zone.
He said, smilingly, to the Congress
man:
"Tell the folks at home that we may
not all come back, but that we are win
ming the war"
Congressman Dowell added that he
had found the same spirit everywhere
at was wonderful" he said ave
knew what stuff our men were made Of,
but we had to visit the battlefront to
appreciate what they were doing.
There isn't man in our party who will
return home with any other thought
but that this war must not end unit,
German militarsm has been crushed
for all time"
The Congressmen spent several days
at the front in France, and before that
they made tour through Italy. They
said the presence of American troops in
Italy had thrilled the entire nation,
just as did the arrival of the Americans

Open Way for Scots
Charge Into Buzancy
(Bu The Associated Prets)

WITH THE FRENCH ARMY IN
FRANCE, August 1 (Morn.ng) Gal
liant work was done by the Scottish
division which participated with the
French and the Americans in the at
tack on the western pivot Of the Ger
man line below Scissors. This divi-
sion, composed of famous highland
and lowland regiments, entered the
line to relieve an American division.
1t took it's place on the front after
three days and nights of incessant
travelling in lorries and march of
ten miles with full packs. The Scots
Immediately launched an attack and
drove back the Germans on their front.
The conduct of the division has called
forth high praise from the French
generals.
The American troops, although thor
oughly fatigued from many days of
constant fighting, lent their artillery
to the support Of the Scotch, who sew
erai days later, in conjunction with
the French, attacked and took Buzancy,
once more with the assistance of Am
erican gunners.

the closest comradeship and good will

was passed and Cramoiselle, one
mile north and west of Cramaille
was also captured. Six hundred
prisoners were taken. On the east
side of the salient Romigny, south.
west Of nTardenois. was oc-
cupled. 1t was unotficially reported
captured couple of days ago. but
apparently was not held securely.
The "new German lines" are being
eaten into at many points almost be-
fore they have had time to dry in or.
the map. They will probably be
eaten into further. Foch is driving
a wedge in the scissors sector which
may compel the Germans to fall back
to the line of the Crise River, and
such retirement would entail 8
drawing back of the whole German
line from the region between Fere-
en-Tardenois and Ville-en- -Tardenois
Evidently the German retreat is not
ended. 1t has not yet attained its
tactical objective, which is a really
secure defensive line.

Berlin War Office
Reports Do,vning of
z British Airplanes

LONDON, Aug. 1-Seven British bat
tie planes on their way to raid Saar-
brucken were shot down by the Ger
mans before they reached their destina-
tion, according to the Berlin War Office
report to-day. The announcement reads:
"The enemy lost on the front yester-
day twenty-five airplanes in air fights
and from our gun fire from the ground
Further, a British squadron of six
big battle planes, on its way to raid
Saarbrucken, was destroyed by six of
our machines before it was able to drop
its bombs. We shot down another
British battle plane out of the second
and following squadron"
The Air Ministry Wednesday night
reported the loss of four planes in the
Saarbrucken raid and the downing Of
one German machine.
British communicate, referring to
operations on the Italian front, says:
in the month of July sixty-six hos
tile airplanes were destroyed and three
were brought down out of control
Four of our machines failed to return"
The official communication from the
War Office on aerial operations says:
"Cn July 81 heavy fighting took
PIace III tne alr, with the result That
tweAty-siX enemy machines were
brought down and nine others were
driven down out of control. Four of
cur machines failed to return.
"Although observation was again diff
fcult many photographs were taken
and fifteen tons of bombs were
dropped by US with good effect. Dur
ing. the night over twcnty-thrce tons
OF bombs were dropped by us without
the loss of a machine
Several railways, including those
at Cambrai and Lille, suffered very
heavily, many direct hits being OBJ
tanned and number of large fires
started"
The Air Ministry communication to-
night says:
."On the morning of August one
Of our bombing squadrons started to
bomb Cologne, but finding it envcl-
oped in a cloud, turned and dropped
its bombs on the factories ut Durcn
(Rhenish Prussia), in one Of which a
fire broke out. All our machines re-
turned.
"a second formation attacked the
railway workshops at Treves., They
were heavily attacked by large mum
bers of hostile machines. Three OF
the enemy machines were DESTROYED,
One Of our planes has not returned."

rifle conflicts which began Saturday.
The enemy made every effort to hurl
the Americans back across the Ourcq,
but he failed. His picked troops
fought to the death. reports from all
sides indicate, but the fierce attack of
the Americans was not to be denied
and the positions which broke the back
of the German line on this front were
consolidated.
With magnificent, gallantry. British
and French forces took full advantage
of the situation. The enemy was
hurled off Chalmont Butte in dashing
assault by Franco British units, and
to the east the French also hammered
at his line. To-night's report shows
that it was made untenable and that
the French and British have made
rapid progress IN exploiting the sue
cess.
The fact that six hundred prisoners
were taken in one part of the action
indicated that the retreat was more
precipitate than it has been for the
last few days. This was viewed as
further evidence that the enemy WAS
new hopes that his lines along the
Nesle would not be fully prepared
when the Allies arrive before them.
Germany Not Invincible
Aside from the gains in territory
made in the Allied counter drives, Off
GERS believe it has already served its
greatest purpose in proving to the
German army that it is not invincible.
The enemy has been foiled in his OBJ
iectwes, first in his thrusts toward
Rheims, organized with all the skill
and unsparing effort of which he was
capable, and then in his effort to hold
his gains against a counter assault.
Twice he has tried to stem the tide of
advance that had set against him and
twice he has failed. His best troops
have been thrown in recklessly and
fought with utter heroism without
avail. The crushing force of the Al
lied effort continued and compelled
further retreat.
1t is new lesson for the German
army, many officers say. There is no
thought that it will sap the morale of
the enemy forces, but fltering back
through the fighting men to the people
at home will go a new conception, it
is said-a feeling that Germany's best
is not sufficient for the task it has
set itself What the dissemination of
that feeling may be no one can tell.

the Marine front, for the purpose of
frightening the line and demoishing
barbed wire entanglements the Ger
mans have placed in the hills. forests
and open places.
They scored advances in this effort,
the Americans pushing beyond Sergy
to within two kilometres of Chamerv.
The Allied forces effected their pror-
ress against stubborn German resist
ance.

now are approaching, marks the spot
where Lieutenant Quentin Roosevelt fell

Foe Using a New Gas
The Germans used new gas having
a white flame and smoke
The Allies brought into action their
heavy artillery, their aviators and pa-
trolls having reported mile after mile of
barbed wire standing along the German
lines. The heavy guns soon found the
1ange of the entanglements. Some en-
emy infantry had dug in behind the
wires, but the lines were for the most
part manned by machine gunncrs.
Inc German artillery reply consisted
chiefly of shells from the us and loss.
Inc machine guns, with the heavier
pieces indicated, were active in an ef
1ort to prevent an Allied advance.

Rout Kaiser's Best in Seringes
Pershngs Men Trick Prussan Guards in Vlage-Prove
Themselves Better Shots and Better Individual
Fighters-n Ten Minutes Town Was Cleared

LONDON, July 31.-Ycsterday was a
day of sheer, hard in-and- out fighting
on the American front, telegraphs
Reuters correspondent on the front
north of the Marne. He says that the
final capture Of Seringes by the Ameri-
cans was an especially creditable
achievement.
Since the Americans took the village
on Monday the Germans have made no
infantry attack on the place. but have
kept up q constant artillery and
machine gun fire to drive them out.
This continued all day on Tuesday, and
toward evening the enemy seemed to
think that the spirit of the defenders
might possibly be broken, and then
they began to emerge from the Ncsles
forest in a way that seemed to fore
cast a fresh attempt to take the village.
OF the fighting which ensued the cor
respondent writes:
THE Americans after three days of
to-andfro fighting through villages
had learned subtlety, and were deter
mined to have a real fight to q finish
They consequently withdrew as if re-
tiring from Sernges, and the Germans
crept down from the high ground, con-
WINGED they had their opponents
beaten. Additional German troops
came pouring in until the town was
occupied as it never had been before
Ring Around Germans
but as the new occupants began to
organize their defences they found
from three sides of the village. and it
that the Americans, while withdrawing
menced an encircling movement on
both sides. thus forming a ring almost
completely around it.
"Then came tragic fighting. The
Prussian Guard had voted not to sur
render and their opponents were lust
as anxious to see the thing through.
1t was an affair of small arms, but the
Americans proved to be better shots
and slowly picked off men here and
there
"Then the Americans began to ad
vance, and slowly their cncirclinr ring
closed about the village AS the ring
drew closer and the defenders saw their
doom approaching they redoubed their
fire, but still the Americans came on
unfalterngly like a storm or the un-
avoidable stroke of fate
when the Americans reached tho
precincts of the village their fire
ceased and, with one wild veil. thew
closed with the foe. The fierce uproar

During the night the enemy twice
