HUN AIRME:N DROP BOMBS ON A RED
 CROSS HOSPITAL
Score Direct Hits Near Sois- sons But Patients Had
 Been Removed.

With the American Army in France Friday, Sept. 7-(By the Associated Press) aviators scored two direct hits on Wednesday night on the large red cross between the wings of the F'rench-American hospital south west of Soissons. There were no cas- ualities, as the patients were moved to nearby caves when the bombing be- gan soon after dark.
 Eighteen bombs were dropped, two striking the red cross which is built of red in a great field of white. When the alarm sounded the attention of at tendants was turned to the wounded who were taken to caves. The slight ly wounded retired without aid and there were several instances of slightly wounded patients assisting the attend ants in carrying the seriously wound ed to places of safety. The first bomb struck near a tent and two others struck the cross.
 Because of hte darkness following the extinguishing of all lights there was great confusion, but not a single patient or attendant was injured. The hospital doctors related with pride the bravery of the woman nurses and the number of instances where nurses went to and fro between the caves and the hospital beds during the raid to make sure that all the patients were under shelter.

vate c. L. Brooks, both observers, crossed the Vesle on the heels of the combat patrols unwinding telephone wire es they proceeded.
 Reaching the crest of the plateau west of Berles, the pair espied nine Germans. Dropping their telephone reels, Hickman and Brooks urslung their rifles and opened fire. The Ger mans promptly turned tail. The two Americans followed. Suddenly they spotted half a dozen feld-gray soldiers crawling on hands and knees in a dI- rection where they could flank the Americans
 Hickman turned and "banged" away at this new group of Germans. He shot two of them. The others ran. The pair climbed a tree from which they could observe the French cavalry and American mounted patrols head ing northward on the plateau. They spotted a German machine gun whose crew was biding it's time to enf1lade the Franco-American patrols. They telephoned the news back to the American heavies which in the next minute smashed the enemy nest.
 Just then a German airplane ap- peared overhead and dropped a good ly number of bombs. They missed the tree, but broke the-wires Heck man calmly repaired them, and the two continued their observation work.
 A Long Island machine gunner who escaped in the recent German attack of Fismettes relocated the machine gun position where he was stationed in that attack. He found 46 dead Germans in front of the position. They were still unburied, owing to the con- | stant fire. It is estimated the Ger mans lost 200 killed when they retook Fisnettes.
 The Americans marched up the ra- vines from the Vesle equipped with gas masks. since the whole area is still drenched with poison fumes.

The Germans held the positions along a machine gun line stubbornly, many of them dying at their posts, but the total mortality was not great, since only machine gunners were left in the rear line. It is probable, how ever that the German losses were large as a result of the counter ar tillery fire. Some 30 prisoners were brought in today from that part of the sector on the American right. Be- cause of the better terrain the Ger mans can afford to retreat here more slowly and from their positions they can exact a higher price in return for their withdrawal It is inevitable at the same time that they, too, must pay dearly. The result is a foregone conclusion and the only question Is that of the cost in dead. Today the Germans enfiladed the Americans, who on their part replied in kind and with interest, while the French sup plemented their work with what must have been frightful consequences for the Germans.
 The slowing down of the German retreat from the Aisne has enabled the Americans and French to bring up supplies and artillery anad get in to the line the full strength desired for forward positions. The Germans, of course, have had the same oppor- tunity to place their artillery in posi- tion with the result that artillery ac- ton today was enllvened and may be expected to increase until a new move toward the Chemin des Danes lS made That the Germans will estab- fish themselves on that line there is virtually no doubt. This conclusion is reached from statements made by prisoners and substantiated by cir cumstances incident to the operations. The Americans concluded today their movement across the plateau and down the slopes toward the river. They were constantly made targets but the movement was accomplished

Accelerating the flight of the re- treating Germans, the British, French and American armies gained import ant new ground last night and today along the entire front from the Aisne to the west of Cambrai.
 In the northern part of the front the British have pushed forward on a front of more than 15 miles. They have driven in hard on the left flank of the German line protecting Cam brai along the Canal du Nord, occu- pying the greater part of Havrincourt wood and capturing several addition al towns to the southward.
 South of the Somme the French are reported to have effected a gain to an average of two miles on a 20 mile front. They took the important town of Tergnier only two and a half l miles from the Hindenburg line at La Fere, and swept over several towns northward toward the British front in their progress.
 It was beyond the Disc. however that Gen. Petani's forces made their most important gains. Gen. Mangin's E army has a difficult task before it here, where the Germans are estab- lished in the extensive forest of St 1 Gobain, the key point of their defen- sive system. The French already have pushed through the outlying lower forest of Coucy, however, and ny taking Barisis have begun to press in on the St. Gobain Massif itself.
 At points along this front the French apparently have reached ground beyond the former German de fensive line. The official statement from Paris shows them on the edges of the upper forest of Coucy, also g ] part of the St. Gobain bastion de- lending Laon, and they are unofficial ly reported to have pushed into big stretch of entirely new ground in this area. The Germans are desperatel! resisting here.
