'FONCK HAS DOWNED
SO BOCHE PLANES
SINCE JANUARY |
Leading French Ace Has De-
stroyed More Than Three
Score, 80 Falling Before One
Spad-HiSpano BipIane

WITH THE FRENCH ARMY IN
FRANCE, Aug. 1S.-(Correspondence OF
the Associated Press. )-Lieutenan
Rene Fonck, the leading French ace, has
brought down since January I, fifty of
the more than three score German air
craft he has destroyed. OF the enemy
machines vanquished this year, thirty
two have fallen before him in the same
airplane which is a Spad-Hispano BIZ
plane with two machine guns. This
constitutes a record for one machine.
Between July 16 and July % he felled
eleven enemy machines, nine Of which
have already been officially accounted
for. On July 16 while stationed in the
Somme he was ordered to report to the
Champagne. He left for Paris that day
at 10 o'clock. He lunched there and
set back for the Somme. arriving there
shortly before 5. At 5 o'clock he had
become the conqueror of two boche ma
chimes He left that evening for his
new assignment
The following day in the Champa gne
he felled a German mahine and on the
next two. On July 10 he brought down
three; on July Il, two, and on July zz'
one.
The. follwing is his own account of
his aerial tactics:
Tactics? 1 have none. L attack
watching my adversary's maneuver. In
the last combats in which 1 have par
ticipated, 1 have succeeded in forcing
my maDeuvering upon them. In my
fight on July 16, 1 attacked two Ger
man machines which were protected by
a patrol of six others. 1 fixed my gaze
upon my two victims, but never did 1
lose sight of the patrol. When the pa
troll rushed at me 1 was able to break
away by maneuver.
You ask me at what distance l shoot.
Generally from $50 meters, according to
my relative position, 1 believe. il could
be said. If 1 attack frontally Istart to
shoot at $50 meters, that being the most
suitable, allowing for the speed CT the
machine. If 1 attack in the rear or lat
orally get somewhat closer. ~

ALONE HAVE
CAPTURED NEARLY $4,000
Our Boys Have Taken Several
Big Bags of German
Prisoners

WASHINGTON, Aug. 29-Twenty
thousand to twenty-five thousand Ger
man prisoners constitute Americas por-
ito l,of the rgcat allied haul of Ill.,
900 captives since July l.
These figures arc based on careful
estimates of important war department
officials today.
The last official figure on American
totals was l. zoo toward the end of the
Scissors Rheims struggle. After that
time, several sizeable bags were made.
And, the Americans have continued to
take more or less prisoners ever since
the main fighting died down.
What ratio the prisoners bear to the
dead In6 wounded is somewhat count
full. One high officer estimated hat the
Tcuton dead and wounded certainly run
more than three times the captures.
On the whole, there is an inclination
to believe that the German casualties,
including prisoners, run a half milllC n
or more since July 1.
Germany was reported in March ready
to sacrifice a million or more men to
accomplish her aims. The German NOR
ale now is at lower ebb than ever, re-
poets ;ndicate. officers say his is prov
ed by the frcres singly large number of
prisoners the British have been taking.
Many of these have shown remarkable
willingness to be taken.
Whether some plan will be made fol-
bringing German prisoners to America
is a subject war department authorities
decline to discuss. 1t is known, how
ever, that the matter has been under Sc
rious discussion and that a decision
one way or another is imminent.

The fall of Noyon comes as heavy
blow to the Germans, who were thought
during the early days of the Picardy
offensive to be planning to hold Noyon
as the southern pivot of their line,
which runs northward along the old bat
tie front of 1916.
Noyon is situated on the right bank
of the Disc river at the confluence OF
that stream and the little River Verse.
To the south and east there are large
areas of flat lowlands along the Disc,
while to the north is a winding valley.
To the southwest of Mount Renaud and
the Lassigny Massif, which dominate
the whole region. To the northeast a
range of hills. j1ts out into the valley
One railroad runs through Noyon. IL
comes up the Disc valley from COM
piegne and turning east at Noyon, leads
to Chauny and al Fere. A canal leads
off to the north and terminates at Nasle.
Two small railroad lines run north and,
northeast, the former to Nesle and the
latter to Ham.
Noyon is a great highway center. Ono.
road runs to Roye, to the northwest;
one to Ham, to the northeast; one goes
up the Disc valley and another leads
down into Carlepont forest, to the south
east Another goes down to~Compeigne. /
Noyon is a very ancient town, being
known to the Romans. Charlemagne
was crowned king fthe Franks ar
Noyon in 76S, and Hugh Capet was elect
ed king there in 9S7. 1t was the birth
place of John Calvin, who was born July
10, 1909.
Along the front to the north of Noyon
there apparently was little change in
the situation during last night. Thu
British operating south of the So-nme
are said to be advancing, but details of
their progress 90 not appear in official
announcements.
East os Arras, the Germans have
launched heavy Counter attacks, which
were repulsed, according to the British
official report, but it is admitted by Lon
dor that the British forces holding po-
sitions at Oppy have been withdrawn
10 the west Of that village.
The Germans ara apparently fighting
rearguard actions along the canal du
Nord, which runs from Noyon to Nesle.
The French are close to this waterway
at Fresnoy wood.
The situation as it stands today close
ly resembles that in the Marine sector
after the Germans had made deter
mined stand along the OUTcq. 1t was
found that their resistance there had
permitted the withdrawal of the main
German army on the Marine salient, and
it is probable that General Won Boehn
has succeeded in moving the greater
portion Of his army and artillery be-
