American General Asks That
Bombing Machines Be Sent
Over Promptly.
ORDER CAN Be FILLED
Secretary Baker Asserts That Request
Has Been Placed on Priority
List, lnsuring immediate
transportation.

Washington Aug. l. General
Pershing has asked immediate ship.
ment of a large number of De Haviland
bombing planes for use of the Ameri
can forces, and the order has been
placed on the War departments prior
ity list, insuring prompt transportation,
Secretary Baker announced. Already
400 of these planes have been sent to
France.
The Secretary's announcement fol-
lowed closely publication of the fact
that General Pershing had criticised
the De Haviland plane and suggested
many notifications and improvements.
There are no perfect airplanes,"
said Mr.. Baker. Improvement in the
best of them has been rapid both as to
types and as to succeeding numbers of
the same type. This is true of the De
Hayiland as of all others. The latest
machine of that type is better than the
earlier ones"
Investigation of the criticisms of the
De Hayiland planes was begun today
by the Senate military subcommittee
Maj. II. c. a. Muhlenberg and Capt
X. w. Schroeder and j. Nj. Foote, avia-
tion officers in charge of testing this
type Of plane at Wright field, Dayton,
Ohio, were examined for several hours
behind closed doors. Information re-
garding their testimony was withheld.
The committee plans to call several
other officers before closing the hear
ings, which were reopened after men,
bers OF the committee had discussed
with Secretary Baker and General
March, chief of staff, last Saturday
criticisms Of the De Haviland type
made by General Pershing and other
officers. 1t was understood the Amer
lean commandments had suggested
modications and improvements in the
planes.

CROWS MORE FURIOUS
Battle Along Marne Is Entering
Upon New Phase.
Germans Have Concentrated Seventy
one Divisions In Front of
Yankee Troops.

Washington, Aug. IA new phase
of the second battle of the Marne is
developing. Both German and French
official statements reflect the increased
fury of the fighting for several days
past, indicating approach of a new
crisis.
The intensity of the struggle and the
vigor with which picked German troops
have been hurled forward in local coun-
ter-attacks showed the importance the
German high command attaches to
holding fast for the moment at least.
The reaction appeared to center on
the very center of the enemy position.
Sergy Is Storm Center.
The fiercest fighting of the battle ap-
pears to have taken place here with
the village of Sergy as the storm cen
ter.
If the American spearhead Is further
advanced as result of the present
prolonged struggle, this, coupled with
French and British flank operations to
the east and west, would create situ-
alton that might well force further
German withdrawal to escape envelop-
ment on one side or the other of the
American thrust, IL was thought.
The report that II German divisions
had been concentrated i'm this section
led to speculation as to the answer
the Germans are planning to the strik-
ing victory General Foch has thus far
achieved.

AMERICANS INTREPID
FeroCity of Yankees lnstiIIs Fear
Into Germans.
Characteristic Reply Given by U. S.
officer When Called on to
Surrender.

With the American Army in France
Aug. 1.-The intrepid charging of the
Americans is not only winning ground,
but it is also instilling fear into the
Germans. Letters taken from prison
ers and statements made by them
clearly show this. There are many
instances of American heroism.
AT one town the Germans counter
attacked, obliging the Americans to
retreat temporarily. Then the enemy
sent out man under white flag. He
asked If the Americans wanted to sur
render
Hell, no." yelled their commander
Were ready to attack"
This they did, retaking the village
and holding IT permanently.
Foe Losses Heavy.
The more intelligent Germans fear
they won't be able to hold out much
longer against the increasing Allied
forces.
THE German army couldn't hold
two months longer at the present rate
OF losses" declared German officer
A Prussian prisoner was found car
rying letter written to his wife be-
fore the battle. He wrote:
"The war is hopeless for us now
that we are opposed to these ferocious
Americans, who cannot be defeated
Their artillery already has caused ter
rible losses. We must be annihilated
by their infantry
Rush Machine Gun Nests.
The American spirit and devotion to
duty is amazing even to those who
have watched the war and been on
the battlefields for four years Time
after time they have charged into in
tense machine gun fire right through
artillery barrages and have driven
back the Germans, whose infantry
cannot stand up in hand to hand COM
bats.

FOE ARMY IMPERILED

ing Only Objective Now is to Kill
Teutons-New Army organi-
cations Forming.

Washington, Aug. 1.-The rainbow
division is now helping to hold the
line near Fere en- Tardenois, General
p. c. March, chief of staff, announced.
(This is the region in which Ameri-
cans made a two-mile advance to Sc
ringes.)
Dslis division, which in the early
days Of the German drive around
Rheims helped withstand the enemy
attacks, arriving at it's post within the
last two days to reinforce other Amer
leans there.
The third division, March said, is
now at Cierges, another point of vio-
lent fighting.
Killing Huns, Sole Objective.
Both sides having changed their
original detectives, the Allies and Ger
mans battling in the bloody Scissors
Rheims salient, are now bent solely
upon trying to destroy each other.

that the lone object remaining now
is to kill as many men as possible. He
held out slight hope of bagging the
German army.

be numbered from Is to 20, is under
way at Logan, Kearney, Sewer, Beau
regard, Travis and Dodge.

form the nucleus of each new divi-
sion.

Army cavalry to field artillery has
been ordered, and these men will be
used abroad at once, he declared.

ing had been instructed to send cas-
ualties as they occur. They will be
given out as soon as received.
Reviewing the battle situation Gen
eral March said that since last Satur-
day the general salient has flattened
considerably. The enemy retirement
was so rapid that the Allied armies
got completely out of touch with the
front line and sent out cavalry pa
trolls to restore contact
The extreme west flank of the
enemy's line remains practically sta
BILE now, while ON the extreme east
the Germans have reduced the Allied
salient, March said.
No Distinction Between Units.
March declared that in the future
there will be no distinction between
National Guard National Army or
Regular Army, but that every man
win wear on his collar the letters
"U. s."
General March said the 13 major
generals and the S6 brigadiers neces-
sary for the new divisions will be Sc
lected from all elements of the ser.
vice.
This statement was taken to mean
that both National Guard and Ma
tional Army officers hereafter will be
eligible for promotion to the rank of
general officers.

cuses for the German defeat on the
Marne are appearing in German news

tiative, pointing out that the with
drawal from the Marne was made so
that a solid front might be presented.
