TWO Yankee AIRMEN
DOWN GERMAN PLANE
Each Modestiy Gives the Other Gre
dit for Destroying Machine over
Enemy Lines.

With the American Army In France,
May 2.-Eddie Rickenbacher, former
auto racer, and Captain Norman Hall,
Of Colfax, Iowa, American aviators,
divided the honor of destroying a
boche plane over the German lines.
Each modestly gives the other entire
credit for the feat. 3.
As the two Americans rose to the
attack, the enemy mach'nc creator
fired and fled. The kmer;c.rs pur-
sued the Albatrcss over the enemy
lines, firing several hundred ro~nds.
The German machine suddenly dived
to earth, spouting fame and smoke.
The Americans by this time we're
flying so low that their planes were
struck by bullets fired by German In
fantry, but they were returned safely
to the American lines.

MAY ASK FOR 100000 MEN
SECRETARY BAKER WILL CARRY

Number Of Reg;3trants to Be Called

Raised to 100000.

Washington, May 2.-Secretary b.
ker will carry to Congress the army
Increase mapped out by President
Wilson and his advisors and based
on the determination to win the war
II it takes the whole man power of
the nation to do it.
There are indications he will ask
that all restrictions on the number
Of troops to be raised be removed and
the government authorized to mobil.
ize as many men as it can equip and
train and send to the battle front in
France.
When the war secretary appears be-
Tore the House military committee
with supplemental estimates for the
army, he is expected to disclose that
the department has reason to believe
that it can handle during the present
year at least double the existing force
under arms Of approximately 1,60O,-
900 men.
That would mean a total of $780,
900 soldiers for whom clothing, equip
ment and transportation are now in
sight. Should additional facilities be-
come available, however, it is indi-
Gated that President Wilson wishes
to be able to call out more men with
out delaying to seek authority.
The number of men scheduled to
be called to the colors this month
under the selective service act has
been raised to 100000. Last month
10000 were modified. At this rate
half Of the 100000 which the depart
ment before the German drive was
launched, had planned to call durin 2
the present year, will have been called
out in two months time.

London, May 2.-"The enemy's eft.

the British army will fail, If all show
the resolute and determined courage
characterizing the 18th DIVISION,
Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig de-
clared in q general order congratu-
lating the Second army. Other d.
visions congratulated were the Ninth,
Twenty.fifth, Thirty-f1rst, Forty-ninth
and Twenty-first.
Comparative Quiet.
Official statements reveal no break
in the comparative quiet on all the
recently active fronts in Flanders and
to the south.
In local fighting in the former area,
the British rcpulsed an attack by the
Germans near St. Julien, northeast OF
Ypres and took prisoners from Ger
man posts which were rushed in the
vicinity of Meteren. The French
troops in Flanders carried out
small operation which was important
in that it proved their position on
tho valuable holding ground about
Loire, which protects the flank Of
Mont Rouge.
Artillery Active on Somme.
On the Somme front the contfnu-
ance of artillery actions of some vio-
lence is reported near Villers-Breton-
neux and to the south along the Avre.
Stunned by the severe punishment
inflicted by the British and French
the Germans in Flanders have given
up for the moment their attempts to
gain further hill positions west Of
Mount KENNEL. Meanwhile it is pre-
sumed that General Won Arnim is re-
forming his battered forces and bring
ing up new reserves to hurl against
the Allied defense.
In Mesopotamia General Marshall
has advanced north northeast of Bag
dad, captured two/ towns and nearly
900 prisoners.

With the American Army on the
French Battlefront, May 1.-THE Ger

following the arrival of American
forces in the line here. Fierce duels
are in progress. One village has been
entirely wiped out
In the last few hours the American
guns have raked the roads and the
villages in the rear of the German
lines and have! barraged their front
lines.
Trenches Being Dug.
The American-French present Sec
tor is steadying. Unless there are
new German attacks, trenches soon
will be improved and dugouts con-
structed, and it will become the old
problem of trench warfare.
There has been heavy rain. The
Americans are digging in and erect

Of mud there are no shelters, the men

the trenches and shell holes. Hot

ALLEGED GERMAN SPY
PLACED UNDER ARREST

tenant Commander in Kaiser's
Navy.

New York, May 2.-Carl .Rodiger,
known also as Karl Schroeder, said
to be lieutenant commander in the
German navy and believed by agents
Of the Department Of Justice to be
paymaster for German agents in this

the hope that they would plant bombs
on warships. Rodiger denied that he
was German. His examination was
set for May 8.
The arrest of Rodiger followed the
apprehension last Saturday of Ma.

INFLUENCE OF U.S..

NEW WORLD CREATED AS If BY
MAJlC

Havre, France, July 26.--In a de-
claration to The Associated Press in
connection with the anniversary of
the beginning of the war, Gerard
Cooreman, Belgian Prime Minister,
said:
Long before the war the United
States of America won admiration by
the amazing vitality and fertile en-
ergies of this people of the Western
Hemisphere who had created as il by
magic world that was new.
cat the present moment we with
no less admiration are witnesses of
an unforeseen manifestation, by this
same creative power in its marvellous
organization of an Army which has
astonished the world equally by the
rapidity of it's improvisation and the
valor of it's contingents.
by their Intervention in this gigan-
tic struggle the United States will as
surely exert decisive influence on the
desiinies of humanity.
ITO it's admiration for the great
American nation, Belgium adds her
special feeling of gratitude on account
of the inestimable generosity which
the splendid munificence of the Uni
ted States never ceases toheap upon
it's peoples in occupied territory and
upon it's refugees exiled on foreign
soil"
