Americans. Upward of three hundred

The Japanese bore the brunt of the
fighting. They captured two armorec

Bitter Contest Expected

The opinion seems to be that
every yard of territory gained will
be bitterly contested and that it is
not improbable that villages and
other objectives will be subject to
the fate of capture and recapture
many times before their possession
is undisputed.
The rapidity with which the gains
were made by the Americans and
French early in the day was not du-
plicated in the afternoon, when the
battle settled into a strong artil-
lery duel, in which the guns of both
sides fired often at direct targets
and at unusually close range.
The firing was continuous through
out the night on both sides, the Ger
man guns being especially active.
The rains of the early evening
ceased before the ground had been
converted into mud, so, when the
orders we're given to-day, the men
moved forward unimpeded.
German Positions Shelled
The German positions were shelled
most vigorously by heavy guns, NOR
tars and light pieces, firing almost
point blank, as we'll as by long-range
naval guns, which searched the posi-
tions far and near. And then the
infantry advanced.
Up over the plateau the infantry
men went toward Juvigny and across
the little railroad running north anc
south. The Germans Immediately
began to employ the tactics of SINH

Foe Fighting Hard

All the skill of General Won

Guard Division, is being exercised
to hold back the Americans at their
point in the line north Of scissors
and save the Germans from the
menace they would be under if the
Allies occupied the plateau extend
ing further toward the east.
Recovering before the day ended
from the shock of the early morn
ing attack, Won Schwerin brought
into play his artillery and other re-
sources in desperate effort to check
the movement. Equally determined
efforts were made by those organ
izations in front of the French divis-
ions on the right and left of the
Americans.
Reports from points on the line

Rhine VALLEY
Attack on Mannheim One
of Most Skilful Projects
Yet Undertaken
By Arthur S. Draper
Especial Gable to The Tribune)

LONDON, Aug. 29.-In almost any
weather the Allied aeroplanes are now
making bombing excursions to German
towns, up and down the Rhine Valley.
Darkness and rain no longer bar the
avlators, who attack the enemy works
IN constantly increasing numbers and
with ever growing daring
The attack on Mannheim, where the
planes almost grazed the chimneys
of munition plants, stands out as one
of the most successful and sklful en-
terprises the British have undertaken.
Munitions Output Delayed
| have obtained data of the work
accomplished by the independent air
forces during July. These 1iers devote
particular attention to military objec-
tlves, such as poison gas works, docks,
railways and aerdromes, and nearly all
their attacks are delivered at low al
tltude, thus insuring satisfactory re-
suits. There is nothing indiscriminate
about their attacks. They have definite
objectives and have succeeded in disor-
ganizing and delaying the production
and delivery of munition stores.
The British have conclusive proof of
the great practical and moral effects Of
these raids, both locally and on gem
eral operations of the German com.
mand. In some cases the British ma
chimes have been attacked by enemy
aeroplanes and anti-aircraft gunfre,
but the losses have not been in proper
tlon to the excellent results.
Heavy losses have been inflicted on
German airmen in these raids. Dur
July ninety-six raids were made into
Germany and total of eighty-one tons
of bombs were dropped, as compared to
seventy-four raids and sixty-one and
quarter tons during June. August
figures are likely to surpass those of
July.
During July Coblentz was raided
three times, Mannheim four, Metz five,
OppenbuTg seven, Saarbrucken three,
Stuttgart two, Thionvlle five and
Treves two.
AS direct result of the raids the
Germans have been forced to withdraw
many planes from the fighting front
and great number of anti-aircraft
guns have been set up to protect towns
along the Rhine. Air raid shelters have
been built in many places.
German Morale Lowered
That the morale of the Germans in
the raided districts has been greatly
lowered is shown by the frequent de-
mands of the West German newspapers
for stronger defences. Many Germans
have moved into the interior of the
country and rents in the districts free
from attack have jumped two or three
fold.
1t is not unlikely that the demand
will be made in the Reichstag that the
government make overtures to the
Allies to come to a mutual agreement
not to raid districts outside the fight
ing zone.
AMSTERDAM, Aug. 2e-The chief
cities and towns OF the Rhine district
have formed a permanent committee to
deal with the increasing menace of
Allied air raids, says the "Colo~ne Ga

PRESCOTT WITNESSES
 A HEAVY SNOW

Prescott people awoke this morn- ing to find the face of mother nature covered with one of the heaviest snows in recent years, a mixture of snow and sleet began to fall carly yesterday evening, which continued spasmodically until early last night when pure and unadulterated snow began to fall, continuing until about 10 o'clock this morning, covering the ground to a depth of about six inches on the level. The heavy snow had very disastrous effect on the awning on the west side of R. D. Hamm's store, bringing thc entire length of it to the sidewalk early this morning and partially blocking the sidewalk. Many of the pedestrians endeavored to use the fallen awning, which was standing on the side in the middle of the walk, as shield from the snow and wind, which was rather a danger ous protection.

The Salvation Army is being quite firmly established in several of the larger cities of the state.

 "I am very much interested to hear of the campaign of the Salvation Army has undertaken for money to sustain its war activities, and want to take the opportunity to express my admiration for the work that it has done and my sincere hope that it may be fully sustained"
 Col. F. G. Lawton of the National army, declares that "the Salvation Army has done more for the enlisted men of the First Division than any other organization or society operat- ing in France"

YPRES CANNOT
 BE TAKEN THE
 GERMANS ADMIT
Newspapers and Experts Warn People Not to Ex-
 pect Another Sedan.
DIPLOMATS LOOK
 FOR PEACE MOVE
Offers of Mediation Even From Pope, Not Likely to
 Receive Consideration.

London, May s-(Via Ottawa)-It is noteworthy that with the 1ull in the fighting since the German defeat at Ypres all German talk of the "Kaiser's battle" has vanished. The German experts and newspapers now have been instructed to warn the peo- pie that no new Sedan is possible, that Ypres is very strong, that the British have fought most stubbornly, and that after all, Ypres is not of importance for the Germans. They declare the German command may decide not to take Yypres.
 Sir William Robertson's warning that the war is likely to last for a long time yet is commented on in London as timely. It is pointed out that the reason why American inter vention did not sooner become active in some fields is because America made arrangements for intervention on an imense scale and she realized that a successful offensive against Germany might be necessary to win the war.
 The Times refers to dispatch Washington saying that diplomats an ticipate a peace move, but that no offer of mediation, even from the Pope, would bee onsidered. Any pro- posal of peace must come from Ger many, the Times declares, and the Allies will meet any such move with the same unbroken front as they met the latest offensive.
