 BREAK EXCESSIVE
 HEAI..WAVE IS US,
Torrid Spell Breaks Rec. ords Throughout the
 Country.

Washington, Aug. 7.-Shattering all previous records of high tempera- lures, the prevailing hot wave today grew to a climax over the Atlantic coast area north of Norfolk, Va., and tonight was being destroyed in a ser ies of self induced thunderstorms.
 Philadelphia,( with an official tenn perature of 106 degrees Atlantic City with 10, and New York with 1O2, set new records, the weather bureau re- ported. Washington showed 104 1-2 in comparison with 106 yesterday.
 A new center flow atmospheric pressure formed over the New Eng land states, the reports said and con- tinued the furnace-like drawing of heated air out of the mid-continent section during the day.
 But the heated blanket close to the earth's surface, expanding upwards, finally displaced cold air in the high levels, and thunderstorms broke at several widely separated points.
 The outlook is still for high tenn peratures, weather bureau officials said, but the present torrid wave is broken.

U. SPENCER FOX 0f PINE BLUFF IS
 GASSEO BY HUNS
Spends Eight Days in Hos pital and Is Now Back
 at the Front.

First Lieut.. Spencer Fox. son of Mir. and Mrs. Will Fox, 814 Walnut street, who has been in France since March 4, has just returned to his com- mand at the front after spending eight days in a hospital as result of being gassed by the Germars.
 He was gassed early in the morn. ing of July 3, but the first news of his injury received Ey his parents came in letter Monday. He is the first native of Pine Bluff to be wound ed in the world war. His wife, who is visiting at Hollywood, Cal, is not yet aware that her husband was wounded. They were married shortly before he went to France.
 The letter telling of the incident was very brief. according to his mother. He said that while he was only lightly gassed, the effects are terrible. He said he did not want to go to hospital, but superior off cer ordered him there.
 Lieutenant Fox was just returning from patrol duty, the letter said. He was in command of the detachment and early in the morning, before dawn, had crept up to the German lines and had succeeded in cutting the wire defenses of the enemy.
 His wory accomplished, he and his men had crept back to the American lines. Evidently the Germans discov- cred the party, for a gas shell drop ped near them and exploded, hurling the deadly liquid over the party. They quickly regained their lines and were immediately sent to the hospital. It is presumed that the patrol work was to pave the way for an attack. The letter did not say on what sector the gassing occurrde.
 Lieutenant Fox got his first military training at Ouachita College. Arkadel- phia. He attended training camp at Fort Roots and was commissioned a second lieutenant. He was assign ed to a command at Camp 'McArthur Tex, and while there was promoted to first lieutenant. It was reported some time ago that his regiment had gone into the front trenches.

Washington, Aug. 7-Backed by a reservoir of 5,000,OO0 American troops Field Marshal Foch, supreme com mander of the American and allied ar mics, is preparing to hurl the entire united military strength of France, Great Britain and the United States against the Germans on the western front.
 This was the impression gained by members of the senate military com mittee who heard General March, chief of staff, explain in executive session of the war departments rea- sons for asking extension of draft age limits to include all men between IS and 46 years.
 They learned also that the definite decision to enlarge the American military program to an army of B. 100000 men was reached about July 50 and is in accordance with an agreement reached in Paris shortly before that time.
 May Indicate New Offensive.
 The date when the United States decided to more than double the great effort it already was making and to bring it's whole man power to bear immediately may be significant.
 General Foch's smashing blow was struck July 15 with American troops bearing their full share.
 It appeared possible that the sue cess of that blow had influenced Am

 The period of time covered by es- inmates for equipment and transpor- tation of troops under the enlarged army plan is understood to carry it up to next spring.
 3,0OO,O0O Before Spring.
