Bombed by u. S.;

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN

ing successfully attacked railway
yards and buildings at Con(ians.
Several direct bursts were observed
and enemy pursuit planes followed
the invading Americans back to their
lines, but did not attack them.
At noon American airmen dropped
bombs on the railway yards at Lon
guyon, scoring several direct hits. Late
in the afternoon Contains was again
raided, but poor visibility made it diff
ticult to ascertain whether the bombing
was effective. Enemy anti-aircraft
guns were active against the American
raiders in all three of the days ex-
cursions. All of our machines re-
turned.
One American aviator yesterday at
tackled a German who was diving at a
French balloon. Despite the fact that
there were six Germans above him, the
American forced the German machine
into nose dive. The six other Ger
mans then attacked the American and
forced him to descend He landed be-

his is not new policy. A
century and a quarter ago it was
deliberately ordained by those
who were then responsible for the
safety and defence of the nation
that the duty of military ser
vice should rest upon all able
bodied men between the ages of
eighteen and forty-five. We now
accept and fulfil the obligation
which they established, an obliga-

statutes from that time until now.
We solemnly purpose decisive
victory of arms and deliberately
to devote the larger part of the
military man power of the nation
to the accomplishment of that
purpose.
The younger men have from
the first been ready to go.
They have furnished voluntary
enlistments out of all proportion
to their numbers. Our military
authorities regard them as having
the highest combatant qualities.
Their youthful enthusiasm, their
yirile eagerness, their gallant spir-
it of daring make them the ad-

action. They covet not only the
distinction of serving in this great
war, but also the inspiring memo

Especial Dispatch 10 The Tribure)
WASHINGTON, Aug. 81. Four
months ago. according to official in
recruiting large numbers Of Russians
for service in the German army, and
it is only now that tho flow of fresh
troops from Russian provinces has been
arrested
The situation threatened at one time
to furnish to Germany all the reserves
she might need, making the solution Of
her man-power problem appear com
parativcly simple. The defeat of the
enemy project for drawing upon Rus
sia for men to fill the enormous gaps
in the German armies is attributed to
the intervention Of the Allies in Rus
sia and to the action in Northern Rus
sia rather than in Siberia.
The danger of the revival of this re-
.cruiting in Russia has not yet been
ended definitely, but it is believed that
the larger the contact made by the AL
lies with Russia Hhe less soldiers Ger
many will obtainfrom that country.
One Of the reasons which made Ger
man recruiting in Russia comparatively
easy was the fact that the former SOL
ders of the Russian army, without en-
ployment and without food, were will
ing to accept any occupation, even that
of fighting with the enemies of Russia
in order to obtain the means of living.
So far as is known here, no Russians
serving in the German army have been
identified on the Western front, and it
is assumed that they have been used to
relieve Germans heretofore employed
in war industries for active service.
1t is doubted that the Russians would
fight efficiently and happily against the
Allies, although under the German dis
cpline and if mixed with German
troops it is thought that they might
serve as effectively as some of the older
classes enlisted among the German
troops.

conflict which began with the

American troops north of scissors
Thursday morning has developed
into stubborn combat and a hard
struggle. The enemy is fighting
with the desperation of despair.
Knowing the strategic issue of the
operation the Germans have gar

sian troops are employing heavy
artillery with concentrations along
the entire Franco-American battle

Very few prisoners have been
taken in the American sector, where
the doughboys are fighting alongside
some of Frances elite units. This
morning the Americans were
checked on the ridge above the viii
lage of Juvigny, which was defended
by hundreds Of machine guns and
the intervening fire of scores of Ger
man batteries.
The Americans, however. have
learned in previous encounters that
an impetuous advance against such
opposition is entirely unwise, and

WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN
FRANCE, Aug. 31.-With Mont ST.
Quentin, which fell day, in British
possession, the Germans to the north
and south for considerable distance
are placed in precarious position.
Peronne itself must be evacuated, and
if this is not done quickly, the foe will
lose many more men here.
Starting out from east of Clery
about 5 o'clock in the morning the
Australians fought their way forward
despite the heavy FIRE from the Boche
machine guns and swarmed into Feuil-
laucourt. They captured 200 Germans.
Germans Taken by Surprise
About the same time another body of
Australians silently which means
that they were unaided by artillery
attacked Mont St. Quentin. The Ger
mans were taken completely by sur
prise, for they had no idea that the
Australians would dare attempt such a
feat. By 8 o'clock the Australians had
fought their way to the top of the
mount, and soon after that signalled
its capture.
Mont st. Quentin was alive with Ger
mans, who came from everywhere and
cried "Kamerad." Those who did not

Texas Lieutenant Recon-
mended for Victoria Cross
and Congress Medal
Compass as Bomb
Used to Fool Foe
Forced to Ground, He Capt
ures a German and Res
cues French Officer

LONDON, Aug. 31.-First Lieutenant
Edmund G. Chamberlain, of San An
tonic, Tex, graduate of Princeton
and the University of Texas and an
aviator attached to the United States
Marine Corps, has received simultane-
Gus recommendations for the Victoria
Cross and the Congressional Medal of
Honor for an exploit in which he fig
ured on July %.
On that day, over the British front,
Lieutenant Chamberlain took part in
an aerial battle with twelve German
machines. He destroyed five of them,
damaged two oshers and, sweeping
earthward witt i dam. yed plane, scat
teret. a detan men+ German SOL
diers. After landing he bluffed three
others into believing his compass was
bomb and captured one of them. He
then carried wounded French officer
back TO safety, and finally refused to
command of aerial forces in that sec
tion Of the front, because of his fear
of being reprimanded.
The story, which is one of the most
thrilling chapters in the drama of the
war, also has been cabled to America
by the London Office of the Committee
on Public Information.
Appears at British Camp
Lieutenant Chamberlain appeared at
British aviation camp on July 81 and
informed the major in command that
he had personal, but not official, per-
mission to visit the camp. This is
borne out by the young mans supc-
lam had asked to be permitted to go
up near the front during furlough
because he desired to get some more
experience before rcsuming his work.
The British commander was In need
OF ayiators. and as there was bomb

tenant Chamberlain he could go along.
On this flight the young Amc rican

one OF a detachment OF thirty aviators
who went out over the battlefield

been attacked by twelve German ma

to engine trouble, but when he was at
