NO RELIEF FROM
 HEAT IN SIGHT Temperature Record for Many, Years Broken in
 Various Sections

Washington, August 6.--High tempera- iture records that have marked the linn its of heat waves during all the period of official observation in the northeast ern quarter of the United States were broken today. Washington and Balti- more, hy weather bureau thermometers. experienced a temperature of 106 degrees, a point not even approached by the mere unry since 1881, and not reached then In Detroit, Mich, Harrisburg Pa. and Toledo, O., with temperatures of lO4, new records were established, as did Scranton Pa, and Cleveland, O., which each officially registered 100.
 These were the findings of the cool and cloistered instruments in the weather bu- reau nanarets. Instruments set closer to the baking pavements of the city streets everywhere showed the mercury mount ing to heights officially unbelievable and impossible. On Pennsylvania avenue in the national capital one of the weather bureaus own instruments during the day marked III degrees.
 Small hope for immediate relief for the eastern territory was seen tonight oy the experts who study the curving map Hires and cast the daily climatic horo- scope It was said, however the heat should slowly abate during the next two days over most of the area now

FOCH IS ELEVATED ID MARSHAL OF FRANCE
Military Medal Conferred on Petain, Commander on
 Western Front

Paris, August 6.-tHayas Agency.1--The council of ministers has elevated Gen. Ferdinand Foch. commander in chief of the allied forces on the western front, to a marshal of France.
 The ministers also have conferred the military medal on General Petain, com mander in chief of the French armies on the western front.
 President Poincare presided at the meeting of the council
 In presenting the name of General Foch. Premier Clemenceau said:
 At the hour when the enemy, by formidable offensive on d front of 100 kill metres counted on snatching the decision and imposing a German peace upon us, General Foch and his admirable troo.ss vanquished him
 Paris is not in danger, SoissonS and Chateau Thierry have been reconquered and more than 200 villages have been delivered. Thirty-fve thousand prisoners and 700 cannon have been captured. and the enemys high hopes before the att tack have been crushed. The glorious allied armies have thrown him from the banks of the Marne to the Aisne. Such are the results of the high commands strategy, superbly executed by incom- parable commanders, The confidence placed by, the republic and by all the allies in the conqueror of St. Gond. ths lser and the Somme has been fully justified
 The awarding of the "Medaille Mili- taire'' to General Petain is distinction rarely given to officers the decoration generally being reserved for enlisted men. Marshal Joffre is one of the few officers who have received this honor.

ZEPPELIN BROUGHT
 DOWN IN AIR RAID Airship Raiding Squadron Arrives Before Dark and
 Meets Defeat

London, August 6.--The attempted raid by German zeppelins on the East Anglian coast last night proved to be complete fiasco, according to re- ports thus far received.
 British flyers who are ever on the alert along the coast, were ready for the visitors and met them we'll out at sea. bringing down one in flames, dam aging second and driving a third away
 What happened to the other two air. ships in the squadron is not disclosed in the official statement The fact, however. that the report said. "Zeppe- lins crossed the coast" is ground for the presumption that these did reach land. There is no evidence as yet that they dropped any bombs and it is probable that their crews were kept busy protecting their ships against pursuing British airmen
 The novel feature of the raid was the early arrival of the airships. Two of them were actually seen approach ing the coast by holiday makers from the promenade of a widely known sea- side resort It is considered possible that the Germans miscalculated the visibility and by arriving before dark invited an easy defeat
 Airplanes immediately went into pursuit and the Zeppelins, throwing out smoke clouds. turned northw ard and endeavored to escape. They were overtaken some 40 miles from the shore and just before midnight one was brought down in flames and another damaged.

ANOTHER SHIP SUNK .0FF CANADA COAST
British. Schooner Added to List of Submarine Victims
 on This Side

Canadian Atlantic Port. August 6. The British schooner, Gladys M. Hollett, l5o tons net register, was added to the list of victims of the German submarine warfare off the Cana dian coast when she was sunk oy bombs shortly after 10 a. m. yesterday. while on her way to New York with cargo of herring from Twillingate, N. F. No lives were lost.
 Captain Cluett. master of the schooner, who landed here today with his crew, saic the German commander sent men aboard his craft and stripped her of everything movable. They ransacked us from stem to stern," he said, and even took my clothing. watch and nau- teal instruments. Myself and men were allowed to take with us nothing but the clothes We had on."
 The Hollett, after being robbed was sunk by bombs placed in her hold, the bcn2bs being exploded soon after Captain Ciuett and his men had taken to their boats. They rowed until they reached a buoy at Il p. m., and anchored to it until dawn. The schooner was built in 1917 and was owned by w. T. Hollett, of Burin, N. F.

MALW GUILTY, IS
 COURTS VERDICT Former French Minister Is Sentenced to Five Years
 Punishment

Paris, August 6.-Louis J. Malvy, former minister of the interior, was found guilty to- day of holding communication with the enemy and sentenced to five years banishment. The sentence, however, does not carry civic degradation.
 Louis J. Malvy, minister of the ints- rior in the Viviani, Briand and Rioot cabinets, was reckoned one of the most astute political figures in France.
 It was in July. 1917, that his position was first assailed. At this time M. Clemenceau. now French premier, charged that NJ. Malvy was spreading ''defeatist" propaganda among the troops and M. Malvy's resignation of his pos. as minister of the interior was an- nounced early in August.
 M. Clemenceau's charges against M. Malvy followed the arrest of Miguel AL mereyda, editor, and M. Duval, direc- tor, of the newspaper Bonnet Rouge upon the latter of whom was found d check for d large sum of money. the source or Which he admitted to be q Ger man banker named Marx of Mannheim. Almereyda later was, found dead in n.s cell, apparently q suicide.
 NJ. Malvy was much criticized for hav- ing had confidence in such persons anu for having granted passports to Duvai for numerous trips to Switzerland, while the Bonnet Rouge was printing articles in defense of Germany It was est.- mated that Duval had brought sums ag- gregating 50o,0oo francs from Switze-- land while the Bonnet Rouge was print which 100000 francs went to Almereyda. Duval was recently found guilty of traa- son and shot.
 In November, 1917, NJ Malvy intro duced in the Chamber of Depl,t,as a bit demanding that he be tried before the high court, and the chamber appointed q committee of s to examine into the mer- it's of the case. This committee submitted it's report, calling for M Malvy's i'm. peachment, and this report was adopted by the chamber and the Senate was, designated as a high court to hear the case.
 The trial was begun on July 16, 1918. NJ Malvy being called upon to answer charges of high treason and having com with the enemy. A few days later the charge of high treason was withdrawn by the prosecutor, who, how ever, maintained that M, Malvy was re- sponsble for several cases of mutiny in the army and was guilty of communcat- ing with the enemy.

The Germans have been unremitting in their efforts to dislodge the Americans, pounding the town with shells and de- luging it with gas.
 Numerous efforts have been made to retake the position, but in every in- stance the accuracy of the American fire, both Of the supporting artillery and the small arms of the infantry within it., drive back the enemy.
 To the east and west of Fismes the Americans have continued their recon noissance work, patrols crossing the riv- CT at different places. The detachments, however, never exceeded more than 20 men.
 Near (town deleted) few men have re- maned, and another force is on the hill over the river near Fishes.
 Reports received from the French sec tors indicate virtually the same situa- ton from Soissons to Rheims.
 Clea weather resulted in more aerial activity for few hours but the clouds reappeared and the rain again began to fall and the aircraft were forced to sus- pend operations.
 The Germans immediately seized the opportunity of the few hours of good weather to send over planes for photo graphic purposes and incidentally to shoot LID the allied transport. These planes in every case were quickly forced

back by anti-aircraft guns.
 Fra American planes also did some observation work north of the Vesle.
 The engineers have mobilized equip mer,t for their part on the advance, re- ports from far back of the line in dictating that all elements of the allied forces will be immediately available.
 From the German side observers have reported wagon trains in large numbers moving over some of the roads toward the rear. This is not construed as con- elusive evidence that the Germans still are in retreat. But this fact and the furthLi fact that up to date the Ger mans have not used at all extensively any but their small and medium calibre guns tends to support the belief that the crown prince really intends to make the Aisne tine objective of his line of retreat
 The present positions of the Germans are excellent for defense, however. and it is Iegal ded as not improbable that they W Ill dig right in there.
 The few big guns which have been used by the Germans are in position far back, near the Aisre.
 The clear-ng up of the big field of re- treat has netted in one-half of the ter ritory. advanced over by the Americans alone 15 train loads of ammunition and general supplies.

 Obseryers reported that they did not see a single German get away from the Ieaden hail and, nccord- ing to the last accounts, not even enemy stretcher bearers ap- preached the scene. The dermans replied so feebly with their fire' because of the surprise, that there were no American casualties.
