GUNS
From the Philadelphia North American
In urging tho other day that Great
Britalns contribution TO the war should
be made better known a London paper
used this interesting illustrations.
How many persons, for instance,
realize that Great Britain Is elothing
American troops In France and provid-
Ing nearly all their armament, except
artillery
II II had been added that the ar.ll-
lery Is supplied by France, tho inform
elton respecting tho equipment Of the
American forces would have been ap-
prOxlmstely complete. Fourteen
months after entering the war, the
United States Is still dependent upon
the Allies for weapons and ammunition.
Most of this. however. is an old story.
and does not need new emphasis. More
over, the humilatinR condition will
gradually be remeded. for the produc-
tlon OF American munitions is now
reaching stage where results accu-
mulate rapidly. Yet there Is one vital
lack which must remain for months a
factor Of perturblng menace.
Because az the calamtous record, and
also because OF the drastic Intervention
OF President Wilson TO prevent a con-
gresslonal inquiry the dangerous de-
lays In the aircraft program have been
impressed upon the public mind TO the
exclusion Of another deficiency OF no
less concern. The truth is that the pro-
duction Of American ordnance, from
machine guns to heavy artillery. has
been even more backward than that OF
airplanes and has been obstructed by
the same kind OF indeclsion, blunder-
ing and wasted effort.

sPoRTsMEN, ATTENTION

From the Leurel Register.
To those OF you that have followed
the setter or pointer In the field ant

those Of you who have followed the
streams and padded the lakes match

attention.
Delaware today is a State wealthy in
its game production. Delaware today
offers more actual sport. TO the fair
sportsman than any other state In the
east. Perhaps we do not realize just
how abundant game fish. fowl and anil
nal, are within our State lines. but the
time has arrived to take definite steps
TO further protect out supply.
Other states, neighbors. so TO speak,
have had their game diminish in amaz-
ing fashion. New Jersey can no long
er offer real sport 10 either hunters or
fishermen, unless It be some secluded or
specially protected section. New York
aside from its most distant points
cannot offer the game OF a few years
ago. Sections o. Pennsylvania where
game was abundant twelve TO fifteen
years ago find that the greatest
amount has disappeared.
With these facts before us every
sportsman in Delaware should take
a personal interest in looking out for
our future in game protection. We have
a very efficient Game Warden and
man who is active. His work is high
ly commendable. We have a large
number OF sportsmen who Will do all
in their power TO have laws enforced
We are in fair way to protect and
preserve our game. but we must go
further.
One OF The reasons for large lnrosds
being made on game Is the lack Of
protection against those hunters who
are game hogs. There are those beings
who shoot and fish for the purpose Of
supplying hotels and restaurants. They
usually come from the larger cities
and under the guise of seeking pleas
ufe they Kill game. We need a special
provision in our game laws providing
for an extremely neavy penalty for
such viOlators-and this means the fix
ing OF the size OF the bag taken. Limit
our catching of bass 10 eight in one
day; limit the shooting OF our quait TO
six in one day, and raise the cost OF
a nonresident license.
We do not mean TO be "hoggish,' -
nor do we mean to keep out" others
but we do not hesitate in saying that
Delaware must retain its game.

WITH THE AMERICANS IN THE
CHAMPAGNE. July 16.-(S:55 a. m)--
American units holding the line east Of
Rheims have not given an inch before
the German drive.
Forming the allied right flank. they
stood like a stone wall against the great
enemy push, inficting huge losses on
the Germans and taking large numbers
of prisoners.
Following a bombardment of gas and
high explosives. which adjoining French
units declared was heavier than any
ever attempted at Verdun, the masses of
gray-clad German infantry swept for
ward. to the assault yesterday morning.
American field guns, firing low over
the heads OF our men in advanced posi-
tons tore great gaps in the close
packed ranks of the enemy. The ma
chine gunners and rifiemen withheld
their fire until they could literally fol-

their ranks, and finally fed, leaving the
field carpeted with gray bodies.
Time and again the Boches returned
TO the attack ,doggedly trying to sweep
over the American front lines and carry
the rise which formed our support po-
sition And time and time their waves
broke and receded on the defense of the
Americans, for all the world like the
waves of the sea battering at a rock
bound coast.
The Americans even brought trench
mortars into play. The range at times
was so short that the heavy projectiles
often cut through score of men be-
fore exploding. One of our mortar gun
outfits, operating in gas masks for six
hours, wiped out five German battal-
ions (probably $500 men).
Some of the rusheS carried into the
American lines, and bayOnets, dubbed
rifles and fists were substituted for bull
lets. But these temporary successes
only resulted in the Americans taking
a few prisoners. The prisoners were
comparatively few, too, as a Boche, in
the heat of melee, had to shout KAN

thrust.
The Boches sent over an. escadrille of

automatic rifles skyward and actually
shot down one of the enemy machines.
The others were so badly strafed that
they fled.
The fighting was almost continuous
throughout the day but toward evening
the Germans-thoroughly whipped for
the time being-called off their infantry
and settled down to an artillery duel
that was a battle of some magnitude in
itself
