LARGE AIR OFFENSIVE
Attacks on German Cities Due in
the Near Future.
British Officer Desires Allies to Or
ganize and Coordinate
Their Resources.

New York, July 29.-The POSSIBLE
flies of aerial warfare are yet far from
realization, although the Allies have
the ascendency Of the air, and an
aerial offensive on grand scale car
ried to German cities remote from the
battle line, including Berlin, is in the
realm of certainty in the not distant
future, provided the Allies organize
and coordinate their resources.
This is the conviction of Maj. Gen.
w. S. Brancker, controller general of
equipment of the British air ministry,
who has been in this country several
weeks in consultation with govern
ment officials in charge of aviation.
Urges an Air Secretary Here.
Major General Brancker In a state
ment on this subject, laid strong en-
phasis on the necessity for the or
ganiZation of the air forces on a basis
quite independent Of the land and sea.
General Brancker believes that
eventually the United States will be
obliged by the pressure of military
necessity to create a secretary of air
forces, or the equivalent, under whom
air fighting, airplane production,
equipment and personnel will function
as separate branch of the combat.
he feels strongly that the quicker air
independence is established in this
country the better.

United States Has Great Chain
of Plants in Operation and
"a More Being Built.
HOG ISLAND GREATEST
Is One OF Four Government Fabricat-
ing Factories and Will Launch
It's First Vessel Next Month,
Mrs. Wilson Sponsor.

Washington, July 29.-The great
chain Of ship manufactures in the
United States is approaching compile
ton.
There are now 118 fully equipped
yards in the United States and A
others partly complete. of which %
are more than Is per cent finished
and only six less than 25 per cent
ready to begin building tonnage.
Many have been built from the ground
up, while the others have been ex-
tended and enlarged to such a de-
gree that many of them amount al
most to new yards.
Thirty-seven steel yards which the
United States had when the war be-
gan have grown to II. The old yards
have been increased from 1852 ways to
1876 and more are being added. Eigh-
ty yards for building wooden ships
now are in operation or nearing COM
pletion. The remainder of the total
number of yards are for building con-
crete ships, a new industry developed
by the war need.
Hog Island, the greatest of all ship
yards and one of the four government
fabricating yards, is 80 per cent COM
plete and will launch it's first ship
next month, Mrs. Woodrow Wilson
acting as sponsor.
Wherever expansion can be made
efficiently, the shipping board is lend
ing its aid to increase the capacity of
existing yards. Within the month, Is
new ways have been ordered added to
the country's ship manufactories-as
Chairman Hurley prefers to call them,
for America is getting ready to manu-
facture'' ships instead of building
them.
The Alameda plant of the Bethle-
hem Shipbuilding corporation has
been authorized to add 10 new ways
at an estimated cost of $20,000,000.
The same company's yard at Spar
rows Point, Nd, is adding three ad-
ditional ways at cost of 100000.
The New York Shipbuilding corpora
ton at Camden, N. j., is building five
new ways at cost of $7,000,000.
The 118 yards which are complete
are distributed sectionally as follows:
Pacific coast, 48; Atlantic coast, 38;
Great Lakes, 16, and Gulf coast, It,

Chairman of Shipping Board Pre-
SentS Strike of Seamen on
the Great Lakes.
MEN REMAIN AT WORK
independent Companies and the Lake
Carriers Association Are Willing
to Arbitrate the Question of
Wages to Be Paid.

Washington, July 29.-Following 9
conference with Chairman Hurley OF
the shipping board, orders calling of
the threatened strike of seamen and
firemen on the Great Lakes were is
sued by Victor A Olander, secretary
of the Sailors union Of the Great
Lakes, and other union leaders.
In meeting all grievances given by
the men for a strike, Chairman Hur
ley ordered the Lake Carriers asso
citation and all its members to sign
the nations appeal for men for mer
chant ships '3as originally drafted and
without any changes" He also or
dered the association not to require
seamen to register in it's shipping
offices or assembly rooms, pending
further negotiation.
Conference Set for Wednesday.
Independent ship owners on the
Great Lakes and the unions were
called upon by Mr.. Hurley to send
representatives to Washington next
Wednesday for a conference on the
pending wage demands of seamen,
f1remen and stewards. Both union
leaders and officials OF the shipping
board said that wage questions could
not provoke strike, as employers
and men are said to be willing to
arbitrate.
The decision to call off the strike
followed two-hour conference be-
tween the union leaders and officers
of the shipping board. 1t was pointed
out again to the men that tie-up of
lake shipping would interrupt food
shipments to the soldiers overseas in

The other complaint of the men
that the registration of seamen at the

and compel them to join the associa-
TONS welfare plan, was met by Mr..
Hurley's asking that the practice be
suspended pending further negotiation.

Pressure on Retreating Germans
Is Kept Up by Franco
American Troops.
OCCUPY SUPPLY BASE
Enemy, Heavily Reinforced, Is Hold
ing TenaciousIy to His Ground on
Extreme Wings of the Gradu-
ally Decreasing Pocket.

London, July 29.-Continuing their
pressure on the Germans in retreat
from the Marine, the Franco-American
troops have reached and crossed the
Ourc1 river and penetrated the town
Of Fere-en-T ardenois, one Of the great
German supply bases for the enemy
troops inside the Soissons-Rheims
salient.
Meantime, on the center of the AL
lied right wing southwest of Rheims,
violent attacks by the French have
forced the enemy to give more ground
and enabled the French to capture
several towns of strategic value and to
draw their front appreciably nearer
the high road which runs northeast
ward from Dormans to Rheims.
Germans Fight Desperately.
On the extreme wings of the grad
aaiIy decreasing pocket-near SOis-
Sons and Rheims-the enemy, heavily
reinforced, is holding tenaciously to
his ground, realizing that successes
there would result in general crumb-
ling OF his plans of defence against
aide the big bag.
In addition to the large number of
troops for reinforcement that have
been thrown in these two sectors, the
German long range guns from the re-
gi0n north of scissors and north and
northeast of Rheims are keeping both
wings or the salient under heavy en-
fading fire.
Under the battering tactics Of the
Americans and Frenchmen, the Ger
nnan line ON the south has now been
driven back more than IL miles from
the point south of Chateau Thierry-
where the Allied troops locked the
door to Paris against the enemy July
18, and themselves became the agrees

Of the greatest battles Of the war.

munications thus far during the bat
tie have been remarkably conserva-
tive in their estimates of the gains
that daily have been made, and it is
indicated in unofficial dispatches that
Allied troops are considerably in adj

Where the Germans are in retreat
from the south the cavalry has been
brought into the fighting and numerous
tanks and machine guns in profusion
are everywhere marrying the enemy,
whose losses are heavy.
Meantime airplanes are flying over
the retreating hordes dropping bombs,
while the big Allied guns from the
sides of the salient are keeping up
their intensive firing from all angles
into the densely congested area.
