TAKE HUNS BY SURPRISE.
Americans Capture Village Of vaux.
Machine Guns Taken.

With American Forces on Marine
Front-In a brilliant operation after
hard fighting American troops on this
front have captured the village Of
Vaux, together with a large slice OF
the Paris highway west of Chateau
Thierry and two patches OF wooded
land. The Americans took 275 Ger
man prisoners, including five officers
and captured a quantity of machine
guns and other equipment.
In the Vaux region the Americans
took the Germans completely by sur
prise. Most OF the prisoners were
taken out Of cellars and dugouts. How
many Germans were killed is I'M
known, but from the number of dead
in plain view at various places the TO-
tai must have been considerable.

200 INJURED IN EXPLOSION


Syracuse, N. Y.-At least 16 persons
were killed and 400 injured and the
huge plant of the Semet-Slovay com
pany. at Split Rock, near here, virtual
ly wrecked by two explosions of trini

rocked the large business buildings in
the center of this city, smashed plate
glass windows and caused a panic in
the residential portion of the town as
If it had been shaken by an earth
quake.
The explosion followed a fire that
had raced beyond control and spread
to the ct. N. T." watts. Two OF these
let go. burying many workers under
an avalanche of debris and scattered
the flames to adjoining buildings. The
flames burned fiercely and there was
danger of more explosions.
Volunteer firemen were powerless
to stay the progress of the flames. Aid
was sent from Syracuse, but the water
system broke down.
A shift of 500 workmen was in the
plant when the fire, the origin OF which
has not been ascertained, broke OUT.
The workers made efforts to subdue
the flames, and later in speeding to
safety were caught in the first of the
two explosions. Men were hurled in
all directions. Two, caught between
burning buildings, were thrown
through wall. Still alive when picked
pp. there was not a shred OF clothing
on their bodies. The homes of work
men across the road from the plant,
collapsed. and burning timbers were
blown to the roofs Of buildings across
the railroad tracks which divide the
plant in half.

President Wilson's determination to
meet Germany's supreme efforts with
the utmost of Americas available man
power to assist the desperately resist
ing French and British armies is
sharply reflected In the movement of
troops during the last three months.
The March sailings of 83,S11 were in
creased in April to 117,212. May saw
another 244.345 men embark. and lsset
month 276,372 were sent away. making
total for the three months of 637,929.
This, Secretary Baker said, put the
troop movement six months ahead OF
the original program.
Substantially 80 divisions are now IN
France, ready to meet whatever move
the German staff has in preparation.
