CAPT, RESNATI KILLED
TESTING U. S. CAPR0NI
Noted Italian Filler Meets Death
When Wing Crumb|es.

New York, May 1S.-Captain An
tonic Silvio Resnati, of the Royal Ital-
ian Flying corps, was killed at the
Hampstead flying field.
Resnati, one of the most famous
italian military aviators, met his death
while testing an American built CaprO-
nj plane of the bombing type, recently
authorized for purchase by the United
States government.
Flying alone and carrying cargo
of sixty bombs, Captain Resnati left
the flying field on what was to have
been the first test of the new type of
biplane.
The machine arose only 100 feet
when one Of the planes crumpled and
fsss
strapped to his seat, was unable to re-
lease himself in time, and one of the
three heavy engines crushed him to
death.
Immediately after the accident arm
ed guards were thrown about the avia-
tion camp.
1t was announced that a thorough
investigation would be made by
special commanding officer of the fly
ing field, and Major Hitchcock, head
of the flying department, and several
other officers.
On October %, 1917, Captain Res
natl established new American flight
record in Caproni biplane by flying
from Norfolk to Mineola with nine
passengers in four hours and twenty
five minutes
He met with an accident December
2, when, with four passengers, the
plane he was plotting crashed to the
earth near Hampton. He and his pas
sengers escaped injury.
The following day his Caproni ma
chine was wrecked by fall at Nor
folk with fifteen passengers On this
occasion he maneuvered his machine
with such accuracy that it landed part
iy on its wheels and partly on its
wings, breaking the shock sufficiently
to enable the pilot and the passengers
20 escape serious injury.

German Commission Proposes to Pun
ish ChiIdless Unions.

London, May 1S.-The commission
appointed to examine the decline in
the birth rate in Germany has report
ed a recommendation for the compul-
sorry marriage of GerrSans before their
twentieth year is passed
Financial assistance would be grant
ed by the state, which provides penal
ties for those failing to comply.
Provision is made for the punish
ment of married couples who remain
childless.

sterdam despatch to the Daily Mail.
A report compiled by the local gov
ernment board based on information

crease of 10 per cent in the birth rate
IN England and Wales.

With the American Army in France,
May 1S.-Tr2ops of the new Ameri-
can army havS arrived within the zone
of the British forces in northern
France
They are now completing their
training in the area occupied by the
troops which are blocking the path
of the Germans, to the channel ports.
Their commander already has COM
manded American forces in trenches
on the French front.
The British officers and men who
are training the new force say the
Americans are of the finest material
and are certain to give most excel
lent account of themselves when they
meet the Germans.
British troops greeted the Ameri-
cans as comrades in arms and warm
friends. The work of instruction is
being continued in that spirit
hC hHSll1Qll lottcS, Ou
within the British zone, were cheer
ed to the skies by the sons of Britain,
many of whom bore unmistakable
signs of battle. They had not seen
the Americans before, but they knew
they were coming
The Americans gained enthusiasm
from the heartiness of the greeting
which they received from their battle
SCARED comrades in arms.
The last stages of their training be-
fore entering the line were begun al
most as soon as they reached their
destination. From that point they
could hear the rumble of the nOt-dis-
tant guns.
How long the American troops have
been with the British, and where the
homes of the men are cannot be dis
closed. The men who speak almost
every language, and are descendants
from almost every nationality, are
working day and night to fit them
selves to enter the line as quickly as
possible.

GERMAN AMMUNITION
 FOUND BY ALLIED TROOPS
Believed to Have Been For a Drive
 Upon Epernay.

With the American Army on the Aisne- Marne Front. July 29-(By The Associated Press). The tremendous stores of German ammunition found by the Franco American troops in the forests of Fere and Ris leads officers to believe that the allied offensive nipped in the bud German plans for a momentous drive upon Epernay.
 The forests and the surrounding country north of the Marne virtually were one great arsenal for German ammunition of all kinds, big gun shells being particularly numerous. At places on the edges of the woods there were large shells stacked like cord wood over large areas.
 Thousands of these shells were in- tended for the German 210 milimetre guns, only a few of which have been captured. The Americans assume that the Germans withdrew many of these guns and that others intended for the great drive had not yet ar rived when the allied offensive began
 All through the forests the Ameri cans came upon ammunition depots at some places more than an acre of ground being covered with shells Of all calibres. Some of the smaller shells were labelled For immediate use" All along the roads every where, and even in the open places the shells were camouf1aged with limbs of trees

NO CAUSE FOR ALARM
 OVER THE STEEL SITUATION
But AIlotments For "Less Essential' Manufactures Must Be Reduced.

New York. July 2.-Demands of gov ernment and private war industries for steel have reached such huge pro- portions with repeated expansion of the nations military programme, that the ailotments to Tess essential manufactudes must be continually re- duced J. l.. Replogle, federal steel administrator, announced here today.
 MT Replogle. after conferring with Charles NJ. Schwab, director general of the Emergency Fleet Corporation. Ed ward N. Hurley. chairman of the United States Shipping Board; J. A. Bonner, representing the American Iron and Steel Institute. and heads of the country's leading steel firms. de- clared there was no cause for alarm over the steel situation as it affects ship building, munitions making and other activities vital to the war.
 MT. Replogle said that the great est difficulty the government faces is not a shortage of steel. in general. but inability of mills. owing to limited equipment, to turn out the varieties of the product in greatest demand ir sufficient quantity. This condition i: being met as rapidly as possible, ht asserted by turning out the required machinery.

IRISH MEMBERS DEFEATED
 IN HOUSE OF COMM oNs
Resolution of John Dillon Rejected by
 Vote of PAS to 5o6.

London, July 29.-The debate in the house of commons today on the Irish question ended in the defeat of the Irish members. The resolution of John Dillon, the Nationalist leader. condemnzng the governments Irish policy was rejected by a vote of 245 to 506.
 Mfr. Df1lon's suggestion that the question of Ireland be referred to President Wilson was well received by the house, but. as Former Premier As auth pointed out. it could not be ex- pected that the president of the Unit cd States would attempt such an ardu- GUS task at this time and the matter was obviously one which the British people would have to settle them selves
 The question was one of overwhelm- iEg importance. Mir. Asquith declared, and he made a strong appeal to the government to make another effort. even at the eleventh hour, to settle it.
 The chief secretary for Ireland, Ed V ard Shortt, made a speech concilia- tory in tone. but it did not conciliate the NationaIists. They received the wEmest support from the Labor par ", whose spokesman William Adam son, member for West Fife, announced that MT. Di0on's motion would receive its support, the Labor party believing that the Irish question could be set tied by q generous measure of home rule, and, he added. the British peo- pie ought to grant it now.

INVESTIGATING CRITICISMS
 OF DE HAVlLAND AIRPLANE
Simultaneous Action by Secretary Baker and the Senate Committee.

Washington. July 29.-Criticisms by General 'ershing and others of the De Haviland airplane-now the princi- pal output of American factories-are being investigated simultaneously by Secretary Baker and the senate com- mittee inquiring into aircraft produc- ton.
 After Secretary Bakers statement last week. to senate committee mem bers, that General Pershing had sent a cablegrarin criticising De Haviland machines sent him from this country, suggesting changes and disappearing features both of design and construc- tion,, the senate committee arranged to reopen it's hearings tomorrow for fur ther inquiry into the De Haviland type.
 Three army officers in charge of testing De Haviland machines made at the Wright plant at Dayton, Ohio have been subpoenaed to appear to- morrow.
 According to information given sen ators by the war secretary, 643 De Haviland machines have been com pleted in this country up to the last report from official sources. of which more than 400 have been shipped tc | General Pershing, who, however, has reported receipts so far of only 67 There are no reports from Genera Pershing that any of the American built De Ilavilands have been used by the American forces on the nghtin3 1 front.

also was of a sanguinary character, the opposing forces fighting in close contact through the streets of the town, but with the Germans being driven back gradually under the ma chine gull and rifle fire of the French and Americans or left weltering in their blood from contact with the cold steel of the allied bayonets.
 Heroic Efforts of Germans.
 Immediately south of Soissons on the western edge of the salient the Germans strove heroically to hold back their enemies in order to prevent the further flanking of Soissons and the possible cutting off of large forces of their men fighting along the Ourcq south of Oulchy le Chateau. Scottish troops, however. captured positions in the outskirts of Buzancy, just to the west of the Soissons- Chateau Thierry road, while farther south the, French ] overcame the resistance imposed against them, crossed the high road and took Grand Rozoy and Cugny and the Butte Chalmont.
 Enemy Retiring Northward. Southeast of Soissons, we'll inside the salient and at present far outside the 1 immediate battle zone, various towns and villages along the Soissons- Fismes railroad are said to be in flames. This seemingly would indicate that the re- tirement of the Germans from the biz pocket is to proceed still further northwacd before they intend to halt it, face about and give battle to the allied troops along a chosen line. If the retreat on the west is to be carried beyond the Soissons- Fishes line it seems highly probable that it is the l inteption of the Germans to make their stand from Soissons eastward along the Aisne to the Vesle river an6 thence southeastward to Rheims.
 British Harass Germans.
 British troops on various sectors ir France and Flanders continue theii harassing tactics against the German Efront. Near Morlancourt in the Amiens sector the Australians have taken sev. eral lines of trenches, captured a fair. ly large number of prisoners and in. flicted heavy losses on the enemy dur. ing counter attacks. Near Gavrelle which lies northeast of Arras, Cana dian contihgents likewise have car. ried out successful enterprise anC taken prisoners.

WASHINGTON OFFICIALS
 ARE NOT SURPRISED
Aware That Central Powers Had In-
 cured IIi-WiII of Turkey and Bulgaria.

Washington, July 29.-While no off, cial notice of the breach of relations between Turkey and Germany-or, rather, the central powers, fer without doubt Austria is involved with Ger many in the dispute with the Ottoman government-has reached Washington, officials expressed little surprise to- night at the Copenhagen despatch from Londin saying that Germany and Turkey had severed relations In off, cial circles here for some time past it has been realized that in her efforts to serve both Turkey and Bulgaria in the division of spells resulting from the enforced treaty with Rumania Germany had incurred the ill-will of | both her allies.
 | Following the conclusion of the peace treaty with Rumania at Jassy 1 both Turkey and Bulgaria laid claim 1 to much of the territory which Ru- mania had been forced to cede to her l enemies. Included in these claims was the title to the railway running from .Adrianopie to Deadeagatch and this l became the source of the greatest ybn- i tention between the two allied nations 1 Germany for some time endeavored tl induce the two countries to settle this dispute amicably by suggesting that | the nation which failed to obtain the railway should receive other compen- sat;op.

 tions uprisings which have been stern

 ties.
 That Turkey has become more ant
 more weary of the war was indicated
 in the failure of the latest Turkisl
 loan in June. According to Swiss des
 patches, only 12,000,000 pounds wa
 obtained out of 32,O0O,OOO pound
 sought.
 It was also pointed out, however
 that the Turkish army is officered al
 most entirely by Germans, and tha
 while the Turkish diplomatic authori ties might sever relations with Ger
 many the army would remain thor
 oughly German. Also reports hay been received that the Constantinopl post system is permeated thorough
 with German influence, making possi
 ble the continuation of the spread c
 German propaganda among the Turk
 ish people.
