 IS DISCONTIUED
,By Review Leased Wire,

WASHINGTON, July PrOduc- ton in the United States Of Bristol types Of fighting planes has been dis continued after tests showing that the machine is not of military value, the tureau of aircraft production of the war department announced. Every et- fort is being made, said Q statement is- sued tonight by the bureau, to put into Uroduction the $. k. five and Caproni types Of planes. These planes will be produced by the Curtiss company, which concern had charge of the pro- duction of the Bristol model
 Production of the De Haviland four has reached a point, the bureau state ment said. where the discontinuance of the Bristol type will not decrease the number of planes being sent to France
 The Bristol type of plane being pro duced in this country, was an adoption of the British model, with a twelve cylinder Liberty motor. Tests of the plane. said the bureaus announce ment. have developed that the ma chine is overpOwered, lacks maneuver- ing ability and has insufficient speed for military purposes.
 Bristol planes which have been con structed or are in process of construc- ton will be salvaged but with what success cannot be determined at pres ent. The amount of money expended in conducting the experiments is being calculated by the war department.
 Members of the senate military com mittee which investigated the aircraft program in announcing a few days ago that their report is being drafted. saIG their inquiry developed that 1900 train ing planes costing S6,0O0.0O0 recently had been 'junked" as too dangerous for use. It was not disclosed wheth- CT these planes were the Bristol model.

The unit had no machine guns but attacked with rifles and com pelled the Germans to give way. The machine guns eventually arrived but the wen were without food and water Later this difficulty was overcome by the arrival of canned tomatoes, the juice of which quenched the thirst of tbe men.
 In every village the Americans had 10 fight hard for their obiectives, but at the end of the third day they had obtained all they went out for.
 Much territory. the correspondent adds. has fallen to the Americans in addition to 26OO prisoners. six batteries of three inch guns. two of eight inch grns and four os six inch guns. One Of these batteries they captured at the point of the bayonet.
 The corresnondent relates that one American soldier bringing in prisoners recognized in one of the captives his brother who had been impressed into the German army.
