NEW GIANT PLANES

LIBERTY MOTORS.

Washington, Oct, IA most Ia
vorable report on de HaVilanu
-Four" airplanes with Liberty mo-
tors manufactured in this country,
has been made to Major General
Kenley, chief OF aeronauticS, by an
officer in the air service Just back
from France.
The officers report made public
today, says the machines compare
fa;orably with the best British and
French makes. The first planes ar
rived at stations in France as early
as May l5, last, and since then, have
been coming in ever increasing
numbers. Some changes were nee
essary at first. the officer said, but
each succeeding shipment showed
better workmanship and few changes
were required.
The plane and motor has become
very popular with our pilots" said
the report. I'VE obtained approx
imately lS0 miles per hour at ground
level with one plane; and without
any spiral preparation obtained an
altitude OF 10000 ieet in ten min
utes and twenty-one seconds, iull

On the south OF that city, the
French have made progress. North

the Germans are reported to be re-

In the Champagne sector, Gen
eral Gouraud's army has carried

gonne forest and appears TO be in 4
position to compel an early retreat
of The Germans from that natural
stronghold.
American divisions fighting be-
tween the Argonne forest and the
Meuse river have slowly but stead
lily moved ahead and seem to have
won their objectlyes along that
front. Berlin reports that Amer-
can attacks were rcpulsed and that
the Germans regained some ground
near Argonne forest.
Hun Reserves Against Americans.
German troops are being rushed
from inactive sectors to bolster the
lines under attack by the Ameri-
cans and it is probable that pro-
gress there will be very slow.
There are indications that Tur-
key will follow Bulgaria's example
in giving up the war Following the
absolute defeat of her armies and
the detection of Bulgaria there
would seem to be no other step pos
sible for that country.

has been fighting OF the hardeS'
kind.
Reports lust received indicate tina,
north OF Bellicourt there was very
heavy fighting and the Americans
in spite OF great pressure against
them have laid the positions in not
few cases to the last man.
They fell fighting rather than to
give up a single inch OF ground to
the desperately fighting Germans,
who seemed to have been hurled
against them regardless OF cost. AS
result Of the fighting up to this
evening, the Americans are holding
line forming a salient which bulges
slightly westward between Gouy and
Joncourt, but this. at last, reports,
was being gradually eliminated.
With the American Army North
of Verdun, Monday, Sept. 50--(By
The Associated Press)-Although
the Germans are giving every evil
dence that they intend TO hold des-
perately to the present line instead
of retreating, they have overlooked
no detail which facilitates retire
ment, should it become necessary.
The following order which was
captured on German officer shows
that the enemy is overlooking no
chances:
"All lines oi retreat must be ac-
curately ascertaned by all COM
panies, and whenever possible, all
platoon commanders should 90 back
over them as soon a possible to the
first line. Soldiers also should ac-
quaint themselves with the names

British Commend U. S, General.
The general IN command OF one
OF the American divisions was warm
w commended by British officers
ior the manner in which he man
aged to protect the flank between
his command and another division
northward.
Everywhere along the British
front the battle was progressing UNI
der uniavorable weather conditions.
The British movement appeared to
be pivoted on loncourt. Wintry
winds and rains. sweeping in from
the North sea, drenched the fight
ing armies and chilled them to the
bone.
On the important Flanders battle
field the Belgians and British not
not only gained ground, but beat
down completely the desperate
counter attacks OF the Germans who
are striving to eliminate the allied
menace to the territory they hold
between Roulers and Ostend.

it swings southeast to Blecourt,
three miles north Of Cambria.
Around Cambria, the British
line is less than mile from the
center OF the town. South OF
Cambrai the St. Quentin canal
forms the line until the region
southwest of Catelet is
reached. Between here and ST.
