A|RPLANE BOMBS
 BEING INSPECTED
Republican A. p. Leased WireJ

WASHINGTON, July 23.-While waiting the result of the official in quiry into the failure of naval airplane bombs to explode when dropped in the attacks by naval aviators on the Ger man submarine off the New England coast Sunday, the navy department is making a thorough inspection of it's entire stock of these projectiles to de- termine the reliability of detonation. At the same time the ordnance bureau of the navy has taken under consideration the alteration of the bombs used in aerial operations so as to increase the certainty of their exploding.
 Secretary Daniels said today that a very low percentage of bombs which fail to explode has been discovered thus far in the navy's tests. In fact, reports on file here show that the United States has met with a much lower percentage of failures than any of the allied nations.
 It was explained that the naval in quiry is not intended so much to de- termining the failure of the aviators to damage the submarine off Orleans Mass, as to make certain that the store of projectiles is ready for efficient service. It is definitely known that one of the two bombs dropped last Sunday struck so far from the target that it would not have damaged the submarine had an explosion occurred No information is available as to the accuracy obtained in the second at- tempt.
 Reports to the navy department show that fine results are being obtained ir the use of the depth bomb, originated and perfected by the American navy The assertion has been heard in wei informed circles that this weapon is second to none in effectiveness among those being used against the subma rine.
 American destroyers, in using the depth bomb, employ the "bracketing' process. Dashing to the spot where evidence of submarine has been seen one bomb is dropped immediately ovel it and at the same time ingenious cata- pults hurl other bombs 100 feet to tht front, rear and to each side. The enemy craft thus generally is caught in th' area of detonation, regardless of how he shifts his course. 1t is said tha the percentage of hits secured greatl! has increased since this procedure wa adopted.

SUBJECT GERMANS ID 4 HEAVY FIRE
 DURING RETREAT

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY ON THE AISNE- MARINE FRONT, July 23-By The Associated Press)-Infor- nation reaching the intelligence de- partment of the American army to- night indicated that the Germans were still continuing their retreat. Far behind their lines they are being subjected to a heavy fire by both French and American guns which doubtless is hampering the movement of their enormous supplies. Northwest of Chateau Thierry the artillery played an important part. Here the Americans encountered the stiffest resistance, village in this sec tor being reduced by the American guns as its occupation by the Germans was imminent The enemy was thus forced into the open, where heavy pun ishment was inflicted.
 Rain Hampers Aviators
 A drizZling rain fell over the battle fields and made aerial operations al- most impossible in the morning, but it cleared somewhat in the afternoon and he flying men went up. Their work, | however, was limited.
 Late in the day, German planes en- deavored to make observations over the Marne, where the enemy was aware that all the usual operations of moving armies and supplies were in progress. The anti-aircraft guns ren- dered their mission highly doubtful.
 Prisoners captured by the Americans says they were forced into action by their officers. who moved behind the lines with pistols, threatening to shoot the first who faltered.
 Modernized Indian Fighting l Al least ono DoiDt the fight n was more nearly in open order than has been usual. With a minimum ar tillery fire by both tides, the Amer jeans advanced their skirmish line over yellow wheat fields, dotted with poppies. and through clumps of wood. It W" Indian fighting modernized by machine gun work.
 The Germans left on the field a great number of machine gunners in nests. Many of these guns were captured and the entire personnel of a machine gun company tonight is swelling the al- ready big list of prisoners taken by the Americans.
 The American and French troops fighting south of Soissons have cap- tured four German tanks which were operatinp against them in conjunction with the German infantry. The allied artillery immediately spotted the tank: as they came into action and quick, put four of them out of commission Four others retreated.

WAR POLICIES OF
 WILSON ENDORSED
Republican A. p. Leased Wire

SARATOGA SPRINGS. N. Y, July 23.-The resolutions committee of the democratic state convention in session here tonight presented a platform
 which among other things. endorsed the war policies of President Wilson and declared strongly in favor of equal suffrage for women.
 The platform urged United States senators from New York to support the federal suffrage amendment and enuln- erated 15 issues upon which the demo-
 cratic campaign this fall will be waged. The agents of William Randolph Hearst were active and claimed that
 the publishers chances of success in the primaries were increasing hourly. They did not, however, predict that MT. Hearst would be the convention choice. On the other hand, opponents of the
 Hearst movement circulated hand bills
 under the heavy type caption: "The Resolution That Bars Hearst and containing the text of a resolution

BRITISH FOLK LIKE
 AMERICAN SAILORS

SOMEWHERE IN ENGLAND, July 23.-(By the Associated Press)-A few days ago the naval authorities received pleasant tribute from the local au- thorities of a small city located near the battleship base.
 You may be interested" says the letter, ito know how much we think | of your men. They are fine gentle | manly fellows and always welcome here. On the Fourth of July American sailors had shore leave to visit this city, which has only 4,000 inhabitants. It might have been anticipated that the visit of such great number of holiday ] making sailors to such small town would have resulted in considerable trouble to the local authorities, but there was not single complaint from any quarter and every citizen of our town was glad they came"
 | On the business side of the naval operations it may be said that the month of July will show all records broken in the number of American I soldiers escorted to Europe and the arrivals have done we'll despite the eff forts of the submarines in many Euro
 pean waters. In single day recently there were more than 100000 American soldiers on the sea at one time, all of
 whom arrived safely
 On a recent occasion ships carrying
 more than 33,000 Americans were es-
 corted at one time through a narrow passage where U-boats were known to
 be operating, but the destroyers and chasers were so active that not single attack occurred nor was an attack leven attempted.
 The new American submarine chas- CTS, which for long time were regard
 ed by experts on this side as more ol less of an experiment, have won many
 laurels recently and have proved them
 selves an excellent type of craft fol
 convoy and patrol work. Large num-
 bers of these now are operating from several important bases.

BRISTOL TYPE NOT
 IF MILITARY VALUE
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, July 23.-Produc- ton in the United States of Bristol type of fighting planes has been dis continued after tests showing that the machine is not of military value, the bureau of aircraft production of the war department tonight announced
 Every effort is being made, said a statement issued by the bureau, to put into production the S. E. Five and Caproni types of planes. These planes will be produced by the Curtiss com pany which concern had charge of the production of the Bristol model. Production Of the De Haviland four has reached a point, the bureau state ment said. where the discontinuance of the Bristol type will not decrease the number of planes being sent to France.
 The Bristol type of plane being pro- duced in this country, was an adapta- tion of the British model, with a 12- cylinder Liberty motor. Tests of the plane, said the bureaus announcement, have developed that the machine is overpowered. lacks maneuvering abil- 1 ity and has insufficient speed for mili- tary purposes.
 Bristol planes which have been con- structed or are in process of construc- tion will be salvaged but with what success cannot be determined at pres ent. The amount of money expended in conducting the experiment is being calculated by the war department Members of the senate military sub- committee which investigated the air craft program, in announcing a few days ago that their report is being drafted, said their inquiry developed that 1.200 training planes costing s6,- 100000 recently had been Junked" as to dangerous for use. It was not dis closed whether these planes were the British model.

CANNED TOMATOES HELP SAM.
 MES.

LONDON, July 24.-The correspond ent of the Daily Mail at American head quarters, under date of Monday, tells how an American unit south of Sois- sons arrived along a road congested with transports and mud five minutes before the time set for an assault. The unit had no machine guns, but attacked with rifles and compelled the Germans to give way. The machines guns eventually arrived, but the men were without food and water Later this difficulty was overcome by the arrival of canned tomatoes, the juice of which quenched the thirst of the men.
 The correspondent relates that one American soldier bringing in prisoners recognized in one of the captives his brother, who had been impressed into the German army.

 Considering Draft Changes
 In making his statement, Mr. Baker said the changes in draft ages are still under study. The study of the draft age question, he said was based upon finding the necessary number of men with the least possible disturbance of economic conditions in the country"
 It was recalled that the original na- tional army plan as presented by the war department recommended age linn it's of 19 to 26 inclusive. Congress changed these limits to the present 21 to 31 law. There has been nothing to indicate. however. that either Mir Bak- CT or his advisers have changed their opinion that men of 19 should be taken, furnishing two large additional classes of recruits immediately without mater 'al disturbance of the economic bal 9nce.
 Forty Years May Be Limit
 Just what maximum age will be found most desirable, it is difficult to say. It was frequetly urged in con gross recently that the limit be set at 45 years. That would involve an enor- nous amount of registration and ex- animation of records, however, for which a very small return in fighting men could be expected in the higher ages. Probably compromise at 40 or perhaps below that will be worked out n the end
 One of the chief arguments for ex- tension upward of the age limits is the power it would give to apply the work or fight rule on far wider scale The government, however, has not as yet committed itself to policy of this character.

PAPER MILL WORKERS STRIKE

GLEN FALLS, N. Y, July 23.-More than $500 paper mill workers of north ern New York went on strike tonight affecting the International Paper com pany's mills at Glens Falls, Fort Ed ward, Corinth and Ticonderoga and the Finch Pruyn and company's Glens Falls mill. General dissatisfaction on the part of the men with the wage finding of the war labor board is given by members of the unions as the cause of the strike, although the direct mo tive expressed is the failure of the en- ploying mills to grant bonuses for May and June which were given for more than a year. Union officials refused to comment on the strike.
