HELL IN FIGHT
 AS COMMANDER
 IN HUN FORCES
Former Chief of Staff of Won Mackensen Known to Be
 With Enemy Because of Orders Captured by Tanks
By Revlew Leased Wirel

LONDON, July 22.-Hard fighting is proceeding in all sections of the line from Soissons to Rheims, according to dispatches reaching London this after noon, but always with the allies on the offensive and the Germans fighting desperately to save what they can before the on rush.
 - The French gathered up forty-five more guns. including six of large cal ibre in the fighting along the Marne, where the Germans were compelled to retire very hastily, leaving behind material of all kinds.
 Although the Germans are fighting bitterly along the bottom of the sali- ent, there are indications they realize a retreat is inevitable, for they are burn ing villages several miles behind their lines, and there is a great congestion of troops around the top of the sali- ent, which may indicate preparations for a new line.
 The allies are constructing bridges for pursuit of the Germans north of the Marne. The Americans continue to fight in the most stubborn manner for the salient. but if things continue to go well, the enemy is likely to be forced back to the line of the river Vesle. which offers good defenses and good communications. The Germans made several heavy counter attacks on the western side of the salient and the fighting appears to be growing in intensity all along the western tip. A German counter attack near GrisOl- les won a slight advantage for them, but all these moves are only in the nature of an attempt to hold up the allies. All these counter attacks are costing the Germans heavily. and can not be launched without adequate prep arations.
 One of the German high command actively engaged in endeavoring to find some way of holding up the Ameri- can forces at the bottom of the pocket. Is Major General Hell. formerly Field Marshal Won Mackensen's chief of staff, who recently was sent to the west front from Ukraine. The Amer jeans captured several documents bearing General Hell's signature.
 Mony compliments have been shOwered on the Americans by Brit ish Jason officers and reports reach ing London from their two sections praised their fighting ability, discip-

OYSTER BAY. July 22.-Colonel Theodore Roosevelt issued a state ment tonight in which he declared that under no circumstances would he accept the republican nomina- tion for governor of New York.
 The former president made his announcement when he sent tele- gram to Attorney General Morton Lewis at Albany in reply to a mes sage which MT Lewis sent several days ago offering to withdraw if the colonel would accept. Colonel Roosevelt did not refer to prohibit tion or woman suffrage nor did he propose a candidate. In the mes sage he said:
 My work is for the men who are fighting in this war. My mind dwells continually on the problems O. the war. on the international problems of the peace which is to close and justify the war and on the tremendous problems we shall face after the war"

 WASHINGTON. July 22.-The Ger man high command apparently is mak- ing desperate efforts to hold open the base of the salient between SOissons and Rheims until troops far down the center of the great pocket toward the Marne can be withdrawn. With French and American troops hammering away from the west and French. British and Italian forces battering al the west flank of the German position, it was still far from certain tonight that tho enemy would be able get his forces out of the southern end of the salient without terrific losses.
 Already great numbers of prisoners, and guns have been taken ny the American and allied forces. The only estimate from official sources covering the aggregate captures by French. American and Italian troops during the first two days of the counter of- fensive gave 10000 as the probable to- tai. There are indications that the number captured on Sunday might be greater although enemy withdrawal from the Marne and Chateau Thierry sectors probably accounted in some HoAN HUI AAAC AAAAAE0o NA enI tANth AAA NN made during the day.
 The situation on the Hanks of the salient was not so clear tonight.
 Apparently the enemy is fighting hard to hold his position around Oulchy-Le-Chateau. where a railway line from Fishes probably his chief advance base and located at the ap- prOximate center of the base line of the salient between SOissOns and Rheims. has permitted him to assem- ble considerable forces to resist the FraneO-American advance.

FRENCH ARMY HEADQUARTERS, July 22, (via Ottawa. North of the Marne the Germans are making prep arations for a further retreat.
 In the angle between the Marne and the Adre, on the eastern sde of the salient, the enemy is blowing up muni- tion dumps and burning stores which they have not had time to remove. The enemy's position is in a heavy wooded and broken country without main roads and railways in shape to use.
 To feed the Soissons-Marne front the Germans have only one railway line from the Aisne in the neighbor- hood of BOurg to Bazoches, where 1t joins the main line of the Soissons- Rheims road. The latter road is still in condition for use for a certain dis tance on ether side of Bazoches. but the junction there is being bombed constantly.

HUNS BURN VILLAGES
MOST CERTAIN SIGN THAT THEY REALIZE ALLIES HAVE UPPER HAND; ALLIED BIG GUNS SEND SHELLS INTO RETRIEVING FOE WHILE PLANES HARAss THEM

UNDATED WAR LEAD, (By the As sociated Press)-The advance of tine Americans and French into the Sois- sOns-Rheims salient continues. At some points the Germans are counter attacking desperately, but their efforts have proved futile in more than i'm peding the advance.
 Further ground has been gained by the allied forces south of Soissons, .n the center of the line along the Ourcq river and north and east of Chateau Thierry. Additional large numbers of Germans have been made prisoners and numerous quantities of guns and war materials have been taken.
 In the Marne region the Amer
 ican troops on the northern bank
 of the stream are well on the heels
 of the fleeing enemy east of Cha
 teau Thierry, between Charteves
 and Gland. At last reports their
 advance had been ushed virtually

 tween the British, French and Italian ~t Al.-r Rheims, where the British have made a further advance. while in Champagne to the east of Rheims the French are reported to have regained all their old front line positions between the river Suippes and the town of Massiges.
 The German defensive has nOticably stiffened on the western side of the Rheims-Soissons salinet, but. although large numbers of reserves have been thrown into the fighting. the maneuv- CTS seem to be more in the nature of a strong rear guard action, designed to help the large forces of the enemy in the Chateau Thierry ocket to es- cape northeastward than a purpose to stand and give battle with the ultimate aim of holding or beating back the Franco-American troops
 That the Germans now realize to the full that the allies have the upper hand in the battle seems apparent from reports that they are burning villages behind them in their retreat and de- stroying large quantities of munitions and war materials throughout the en- tire salient which they have found it impossible to nave, ewing to the rapid strides of the allies. Big guns now are throwing shells far behind the lines searching out the entire countryside. while allied airships are raiding the retreating columns with machine gun fire

WASHINGTON IS
 VERY ANXIOUS
 TO KNOW REASON
Bombs Dropped on Submarine Sunday Failed to Explode and Officials Wonder as to Cause s
CRy Review Leased Wlrsl

BOSTON. July 22.--An investigation was started today to determine why bombs carried by naval aviators failed to explode when dropped on or about the German submarine which attack ed the tug Perth Amboy and her barges off Cape Cod yesterday.
 Experts at the headquarters of the first naval district here said the bombs were provided to the different naval district with explicit instructions that the mechanism must not be overhaul ed or any effort made 10 improve it.. It was reported that some of the avia- tors had said that some of the bombs had failed in tests.
 Rear Admiral Spencer s. Wood, commanding the district. refused to comment on the report that the bombs dropped by the airmen yesterday were "duds.' In regard to the attack he said:
 T want to correct the impression given currently by certain published stories that the Chatam aircraft were late or not otherwise promptly on the job Such sOries I know to be misrepresentation of the facts They were there and dropped two bombs. the explosion of either one which might have been effective in destroy ing the hostile craft
 The whole occurrence from a stra- tegic point of view impresses me of little short of ridiculous. I gave the Germans credit for having more sense than to waste good ammunition on a couple of scows worth hardly more than the ammunition that sank them. and believe the whole performances was due to a desire to impress the American public with the neamess of the German operations and to excite pacifists. whom they think so numer- GUS in this country, to renewed activ- ity to end the war. It was more or less In the nature of a circus stunt done also to impress the German pe=. pie with the idea that the submarine warfare is being carried to the very shores of America and that the cam paign of frightfulness is being waged 
 No further reports from the sub marine were received today although vigilant watch was keptalOng the coast by naval patrol boats and hydro airplanes.

LONDON. July 22-The cores pendent of the Daily Mail with the French army says there is reason to believe that General Foch's success is going to prove more damaging to the enemy than hith- erto has been assumed and that the number of prisoners and guns captured largely exceeds the pres ent estimates. The correspondent cites that one army corps returned their captured guns as thirty, whereas they actually numbered eighty, and asserts that there also is great disparity in the casualty of the enemy and of the allies. He says the German killed or wounded are extremely numerous and that in one case virtually the whole of one battalion was found o'sad on the ground in a wood in which they were taking shelter. On the other hand, he declares. the French and American casual ties during an attack were less than half the number of prisoners taken
