BATTLE STATEMENTS
FRENCH.

PARIS, May 3o.-The German flood
will soon be damned. says sem-offi-
ciaI note issued today summarizing
the situation between Rheims and
scissors.
The note says: 1.-The Germans
again progressed yesterday, but while
on one hand they failed to pierce our
lines. on the other it is comforting
to observe that their march was slack
ened considerably by the arrival Of
our reserves.
LAS these come into play, the BAL
ance will gradually be restored and
soon the German flood will be
damned.
1.-THE French command retains un-
diminished confidence based, as it is,
on the power Of our resources and the
Incompatible valor Of our soldiers"
Northwest Of Rheims the Franco
British forces broke all che German
assaults and maintained the defensive
positions.
French reserves are continuing to
arrive on the front and the German ad-
vance is being resisted with great
tenacity.
The Germans made repeated at.
tempts to break through the defense
in the Scissors region but were each
time held up by the determined
French resistance.

SALVAGE OF WASTE
FOR WAR FUNDS
(By Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, May 30-Salvage
of waste, to aid in meeting the de-
mands for raw materials, caused by
the destruction of war, is advocated
by the American Civic Association in
statement made public today by the
salvage committee of the organiza-
ton. 1t is suggested that money re-
allied from the sale of waste mater
ials be turned over to the Red Cross
and the Y NJ. c. A. work fund. Not
alone will such n practice inculcate
habits of thrift which will be valuable
after the war, but during the war it
will tighten the drain upon transpor-
tation facilities and lower the prices
OF raw materials, says the statement.
Local organizations to carry out the
plans will be formed throughout the
United States similar to the commit
tees now operating in Los Angeles,
Kansas City and other cities. Among
the waste articles that may be salvag-
ed the following are named: Tin. and
lead foil, lead, brass, copper and alum
mum waste, old jewelry, old auto
mobile and bicycle tires. paper, rags,
old batteries and bottles.

Four American Auiators
in Flying Circus Bring
D0wn Enemy Airplane
(By Associated Press)

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, Wednesday, May 29-Con-
firmation has been received that the
German airplanes brought down in
flames on Monday near ST. Mihiel
was a victim of four American airmen
working together as flying circus.
The American circus was COM
posed of Lieuts. George P, Fisher of
Chicago, Edward Curtis Of Rochester,
Edward Buford of Nashville. and Alex
ander McLanahan of Philadelphia.
Because of the nature of the fight it
is impossible to credit any one aviator
with the victory. Lieut.. Fisher, how
ever got in the finishing stroke, fir
ing the last shots at the German be-
fore his machine broke into flames
and following down the flaming plane
for as long time as was possible.
The game observer in the German
machine, although plunging to GER
tain death, kept his gun working amid
the flaming swirl as he fell, training
it first at one American machine and
then at another.
