Five Planes Lost
On Bombing Raid,
Pershing Reports

WASHINGTON, July 12.-Five Amer
lean airplanes which went on bomb
ing expedition have failed to return,
General Pershings communique re-
ported to-day.
Berlin reported five American air
planes IN German hands yesterday.
General Pershing's communique was
the hrst announcement from American
sources OF the loss of the machines. 1t
gave no details, but yesterdays report
from Berlin, which came by way of
London declared that the five machines
were part of squadron of six which
started out to bomb Coblenz. The
crews OF the airplanes, the German re-
port said, were taken prisoners.
The communique follows:
Section Ain the Vosges a raid at
tempted by the enemy broke down with
losses before our lines had been
reached. The day passed quietly at
other points.
AS result of bombing expedition
last evening five of our machines are
missing.
Section BIN Picardy the enemy
tillery fire was considerably below the
average. The vicinity of Coulemelle
was his principal objective. The Ger
man air forces engaged in but little ac-
tivity. One Of our planes brought
down an enemy observation balloon
An ammunition dump was exploded in
the German rear areas.
"Our troops in the Marne sector ey
pericnced a quiet day July s to 9. The
enemy's artillery activity was slightly
less than on the days preceding. Most
of the shells were of small and medium
calibre, some of them containing
shrapnel. Our artillery was very ac,
tive and drew considerable fire from
the enemy batteries. The balance of
his fire was harassing and destructive.
The heaviest fire continues to come
from the Brasles sector in the rear
areas. which movement continues ac-
tive. There was an increase in the
encmy's machine gun fire. Our bat
terles destroyed two ammunition dumps
and dump containing skyrockets and
flares.

larly active on July to 8. We easily
dispersed two enemy patrols, our artil
lery fire was in excess of the enemy's.
our anti aircraft batteries were active
against his normal aerial activity and
we sent out successful patrols. One of
our patrolling parties penetrated the
third German line. Another of our
patrols penetrated the enemy's entanrle-
ments and reconnoitred his advanced
positions. w

American Strength Now
Is Worrying Ludendorf

GENEVA. July 1.-THE military
critic of the "Trbuna de Geneva" SAYS
he recently met high German officer
who declared that although the Ger
man newspapers had been prohibite d
from mentioning American military
matters, except the taking of prisoners
the American invasion of Europe and
the great aid being rendered by the
Americans to the Entente Allies is
causing much anxiety at the German
imperial headquarters.
People cannot understand, the Ger
man officer said, why the successful
German submarine warfare announced
by the Reichstag is unable to prevent
a million Americans landing in France.
The Germans, he added, are learning
the truth only through foreign news
papers.
The Swiss "Le Democratic" sarcas-
tlcally remarks in this connection that

submarines to sink unarmed hospital
ships than to attack protected Ameri

dant equipment of automatic rifles and

carried forward machine guns and were
ordered to penetrate the German posi-
ton at weak point, to swing lateraliv

the rear.
particulars on the American position: !:
mo details are available. The pris-
oners are hardly able to state where
they were in position. According to
their statement. it may be assumed thar
the front line consists rnly of rifle pits
cne metre deep up to the present, not
provided with wire cntanglements.
The organization of the positions in
rear J is unknown.
General morale:
The prisoners in general make an
alert and pleasing impression. Regard
ing military matters, however, they do
not show the slightest interest. Their
superiors keep them purposely without
knowledge of the military subjects. For
map. They arc no longer able to de-
scribe the villages and roads through
which they marched. Their ideas on
the organization of their unit is en-
tirely confused. For example. one of
them claimed that his brigade has six
regiments, his division twenty-four.
lhey will regard the war from the
point OF view OF the big brother who
comes to help his hard pressed breth-
rem, end is therefore welcomed every
where. A certain moral background is
not lacking; the majority of the pris-
oncrs simply took rs a matter of course
that they have come to Europe in order
to defend their country.
only few Of the troops are Of
pure American origin; the majority is
OF German Dutch and Italian percent
age But these semi-Americans, almost
all of whom were born in America and
never nave oeen in Europe, fully feel
themselves to be true born sons Of their
country. Won RERC

AMSTERDAM, July 12.-Tho mill
tary contributor to the semi fiicial
"Norddeutsche Allgemeine Zetung
IN discussing Secretary of War Baker s
recent announcement as to the number
OF American soldiers sent overseas,
evidently writes from official inspira
tion. His arguments are similar to
those Of Lieutenant General Won Ar

that he did not believe the figures of
American man power and that num-
bers do not count, anyhow.

racy of Secretary Bakers figures. How

dust into the eyes OF the world The
large number claimed for the last three

nage,' the "Norddeutsche Allgemcine

then presents a calculation Of his own,
and comes to the conclusion, at can't

Only Cannon Fodder
Let us assume that Secretary
Bakers figures are correct" he con
tinues. ave need not be alarmed. A
nation which has fought a world of
enemies four years cannot be fright

unimpressed. They are only cannon
fodder, and not the equals of our war

What is a million of Americans
compared to the ten million we'll trained
and equipped Russians who have fallen
out of the battle lines? Where could
the Americans have raised the requi-
site number of officers and non-commis-
stoned officers so eXpeditiously ?"
Calls Claims Impossible
The writer then goes on to argue
that what England failed to do, Amer
lca cannot accomplish He declares
that the American fighting men cannot
be properly equipped, because the
American war material manufacturers
are Swindlers.
Moreover, our experience with the
American soldiers has not served to

No Evidence of Defect

Major Kirby
Mishandled Control
Gerstner Field Commandant
Says Sudden Nose Dive
Threw Him From Seat

WASHINGTON, July 12.-The official
report upon the aviation accident which
resulted in the death of Major John
Purroy Mitchell has reached the War
Department. 1t shows that the acci-
cent apparently resulted from the fail
ure Oh the aviator to attach his safety
belt. No evidence was found of any
defective parts in the machine.
The official report from Major Kirby,
commandant of Gerstner Field, follows ::
The board found that Major J. P.
Mitchell, r. c. A. S., while flying scout
airplane, Signal Corps, No. 41,372, at
0erstner Field, Lake Charles, Louisi-
ana at about sos a. nj. on July s, 1918,
lell out OF said airplane at an altitude
" ABOUT tve hundred feet, when said
airplane nosed down sharply, and was
killed instantaneously. Said airplare
vas found about half mile south OF

hunured Y&rdS nearer hangar "a
Inc board also finds that death oc-

with no evidence of any strain having
been placed upon it. The fire extin-
gGlsher was found seventy yards from
body on line with ship. BODY bounded
ten feet in opposite direction to shin or
line with it.
The consensus OF opinion of wit
nesses Is that he failed to buckle safety
belt, and upon nosing over for Glide
was thrown out by the peculiar quick
snap of the scout when the stick pushed
100 far forward.'
Gutzon Borglum. the SCULPTOR. who
made an Investigation of the American
aircraft programme at the request Of
President Wilson, in an open letter
read last night at meeting here of the

credited the belief that the accident
winch caused the death of Major
Mitchell was the result of failure of the
aviator to fasten himself in his plane
borglum in his letter intimated thaf
the accident was the result of a de-
fect.ve plane.
American training planes show a
greater casualty list than those of anv
other nation, Borglum stated. lie

OF an aviator in much the same manner
