 The committee also plans 10 call other witnesses with the prospects that its hearings, which had been closed, will continue for week or ten days and delay the final report which had been planned within a fortnight
 Criticisms of the DeHaviland plane. according to senate committeeen who discussed the situation with Secretary Baker and General March, chief of staff, al their weekly conference last Saturday, have come, not only from General Pershing, but from officers prominently identified with the serY- ice as well as American aviators and aeronautical engineers who have seen the American and English designs m action.

AMERICANS UNDERGO
 BAPTISM OF FIRE
AFTER THEIR EXPERIENCES IN REFUSING THE ENEMY THEY ARE QUITE LIKE
 VETERANS.

London, July 29-The German re- treat is being conducted skillfully. the ground has favored them and the dense woods has enabled them to hold up many thousands of advanc- ing troops with few small groups of machine guns, says the Reuter- correspondent with the American troops in France. The enemy losses have been very small, he adds, com pared to the advantage gained for time is of more value to the Ger mans than many soldiers.
 The Germans have lost a good deal besides ground, but have carried off almost all the guns, though doubtless being compelled to destroy much ammunition. The enemy has sui fered great moral defeat and se- were losses in men, but the retire ment has cost him nothing compared to the damage suffered by his vain assaults east of Rheims. When the allies come up against his prepared position they will doubtless find him in great strength.
 The correspondent describes the change effected by active service on an American division which he last saw a few months ago. He writes
 Tt was then eager, raw, young and expectant Since it has been tried by the ordeal of fire and in a great battle which crushed part of the German effort. The change in the faces of these lboys is very striking. They look grave and bronzed, quite like veterans. They are just as full of fight as ever and at the present moment are impress ing that fact on the enemy. but they have been through the valley of the shadow and have not come out of it
