RUSS PEASANTS
AIDED BY 1900
HUN MU7INEERS
ResoIute Struggle Going on
Against White Guards in
Ukraine; Fierce Battle
Near KieV.

London, Aug. 30.--Tweive hundred
German mutineers have joined forces
with an armed peasant body and at
tackled the German forces in the re-
gion of Dymcra, "a miles from Kiev,
according to Russian wireless dis
patch received here today from Mos
COW. Fierce fighting has taken place
between the Germans and the peas
ants and there have been heavy losses
on both sides.
The dispatch follows:
"A resolute struggle is going on
against the White Guards. The or.
ganizer Of the recently discovered
conspiracy at Moscow, named Mar
puias, has been shot. Near the
Church of Christ, the Saviour, band
of White Guards was captured during
the night. The author, Peschechnof,
formerly editor of a newspaper at
Petrograd) has been set free at Mos
COW.
"In the Ukraine the unrest among
the peasants is spreading. The dis
trict and town of Dymera, "a miles
from Kiev, has been declared by the
German army commander to be in a
state Of siege. All persons were for.
hidden to be in the streets after
p. nj. and all movements to and from,
the town were prohibited.
Nevertheless the peasants succeed
ed in concentrating forces around the
town and the commander asked fol
reinforcements from Kiev. After two
hours an airplane appeared over the
town and announced that two steam
ers with soldiers and guns had beet
dispatched against the peasant forces
Soldiers arrived with machine guns
and occupied all routes to the town
A fine was imposed on the town.
"Mutineers numbering about l,20C
men with ten machine guns and sew
erai other guns joined the peasants
and fierce fighting took place between
these forces and the Germans. Their,
were many losses on both sides.

GERMANS MUT|NY
WHEN ORIERED TO
GO TO THE FRONT
ITO He'll With the Father|and, -
They Cry in Response to
Appeal to Their
Patriotism.
By Associated Press.

With the British Armies in France,
Aug. 30.-Reports of Germans refus-
ing to fight continue to be received.
reliable German information says:
"On August 2S it was learned that
the Fifth company of the 22d reserve
infantry regiment refused to go for-
ward to relieve the Fourth company,
which had suffered heavy losses as
it had only gone, out Of line itself
four lays previously.
The men refused for two hours,
during which the commander threat
ened to send them forward under ess.
cort, In the end the men were per-
suaded after heated argument about
their duty to the fatherland, to which
some of the men openly retorted: To
hell with the fatherland.'"
Losses Terrible.
Terrific losses continue TO be in
ficted OH the Germans. The Germans
on large section of the front to the
east of Bapaume have not had hot
food for three days because British
bombs smashed a large number OF
their rolling kitchens.
In today's attack the defenses I
Riencourt were especially strong and
the town sits atop high ground which
in itself forms natural defensive po-
sition. 1t had been thought that the
Germans would hold onto this place
desperately and they did for the first
part OF the attack.
Under the terrific British fire, how
ever, the enemy broke as Haig's men
stormed the place and it now is firm
ly in British hands. Here the British
are within few hundred yards of
the famous Drocourt-Queant line,
which probably is one of the strong
est positions the enemy has ever
erected on the western front -
Five Lines of Trenches.
The Drocourt-Queant defenses con-
sist of five lines of trenches, many ma.
chine guns and immense quantities oi
wire. The ground is honeycombed
with deep dugouts to offer shelter
from bombardment. 1t is along this
line perhaps that one of the most
bitter struggles of the war may soon
take place.

Bv Associated Press,

With the American Army in
France, Aug. 50.--While the French
troops on the right and left of the
Aaerieansaoa the front north of Sois-
sons struggled forward today, the
Americans sent thousands of rounds
of high explosive shells and shrap-
mel into the German positions. They
made little effort to advance their
line.
Late this afternoon some progress
was made by the Americans in the
region of Juvigny.
Although the day was not marked
by any spectacular advance, there was
far from lul in the activities on the
American front. ......
Since the Americans appeared
Wednesday, the Germans have dis
played stubbornness and skill. They

ing them in manner which would
suggest that they might even attempt

tions Of the Americans are perhaps
not so good and the contest seems to
have narrowed down to one of COM

American Air Unit
Shoots Down q Enemy
Airplanes in Month

With the American Army in
France, Aug. 30.-The record of an
American air unit, compromising Is
pilots, shows that during July it shot
down 28 enemy airplanes and one
balloon.
Eighteen other planes are claimed
to have been brought down, but these
are not confirmed. The American
airmen engaged in l44 combats and
went OF. l31 combat patrols.
The units best days we're July 16
when six enemy machines and one
balloon were destroyed, and July "a
when five airplanes were destroyed
without an American casualty.
The French flyers during the same
time made nearly $4,000 flights, en-

10000 photographs of enemy posi-:
tions, dropped $4,000 Kilograms of
projectiles and brought down 145

Today Omahans are to see airships

In a big field north Of the peony

The airmen of the British-Ameri-

an hour and half each to cover the
l40 miles. Whistles blew when the
first plane was sighted in the cloudy
eastern sky. And from every building
the people poured. Streets and roofs
were crowded and heads were at
every window as the great mechanical
birds that are doing so much i'll the

and then came down in easy spirals
in the landing field.
All the machines made easy land
ings except one, a de Haviland bomb

Kelleher. This machine ran into a
ditch and the landing gear was DAM
aged and the propeller broken.

Once more the Germans have suf-
fered terrible losses. The British
have freed all the country south and
west OF the Somme, the last Germans
being driven behind the river this
morning. Even there the enemy is
not finding rest for the British have
crossed the stream at least at one
place south Of La Chapellette.
Pressing Toward Peronne.
From Peronne southward the Brit
isl, cannon and then the French guns
are hurling projeetifes. big and little,
on the other side Of the river. Just
north of the Sonii1e after 1t turns
west, the British have captured Clery
and are pressing toward Peronfle.
The Germans have been trying ever
since the fall OF Bapaunie to hold
the line running along the road be-
tween that town and Peronne. Brit
ish patrols have reached lie Trans
10y, directly on the road and 1t is re-
ported that lie Transloy has fallen
and that fierce battle within battle
is raging almost along the whole
length Of the road.
Germans Fighting Desperately.
Hard fighting is going on around
Beaulencourt, which is astridc the
road between lie Transioy and Ba-
paume. The Germans hold the ma
jor portion of this village for the mo-
ment, but they seem destined to be
thrown out. A struggle is in progress
at Morval, southwest of lie Trans
10y. The fighting appears to have
reached hand-to-hand character and
the Germans are said to have suffered
from British bayonets. Other towns
in this immediate neighborhood fell
this morning or during last night.
From this locality the line of battle
swings wide around Bapaurnc and
there has been more heavy fighting
here. Bancourt,' east of Bapaume, fell
after being stormed.
Attack With Bayonets.
Astride tho road to Cambria from
Peronne the British crashed into the
Germans and smothered their resist
ance, sometimes again at the point of
the bayonet. Fremicourt seems 70
have been taken and the British have
driven on eastward. North of here
aulx-Vraucourt, which contained
large enemy garrison that offered the
strongest resistance with machine
guns, apparently has fallen in its en-
trety to the British. Ecoust-St.-i
Mcin and Longatte in its suburbs
again is reported to have been cap
tured by the British.
Here the Germans delivered a pow.

terrain, but to the north the British
have advanced their line i'll the Lvs
sector, apparently without much et-
fort.
4 French Save Important Gains.
Of greater significance than any OF
the other victories achieved in Fridays
fighting is the gain of the French,
with whom Americans are brigaded,
in this general sector north OF
scissors. The latest French official
statement records the capture OF
Chavigny, three miles northwest, and
Cuffies, mile and half north OF
Soissons, and the entry into the out
skirts of Crouy, to the northeast.
These victories, gained only after
the hardest kind Of fighting, make
more secure the allied line running
northward and outfanking the Aisne
and also the Chemin Des Danes posi-
tions. Also .hettering this gem
eral situation has been the crossing
by the French of the Ailette river at
Champs.
In the region north of Noyon the
Fren .h have made further progress,
crossing the Canal Du Nord at sew
eral places and advancing materially
in the direction of the Noyon-Ham
railroad line. All around Noyon the
French have strengthened their posi-
ions.
Combles In British Hands.
To the north the British almost
everywhere are pressing eastward
along the highways, carrying the Ger
mans before them, notwithstanding
he desperate resistance that is every
where being offered by machine gun
1ers innumerable and infantry units
Gombles is now in British hands.
East of Bapaume the British are
working along the Bapaume- Cambria
road toward Lubucquiere. TO the
1ortll of this region Bullecourt and
Hendecourt- OF the old Hindenburg
line both were captured, but the Ger
mans, in a violent counter attack,
forced back the British to their west
ern outskirts, where at last accounts,
occupying an old German trench sys-
tenn. the Germans were being held
Northeast of Arras, the British
now are only. a step away from the
famous Drocourt-Q -Queant switch line,
one of the strongest of the enemy's
fortified positions, which is said to
be filled with forces who intend tena-
ciously to dispute its capture.
Withdraw In Lys Salient.
Southwest OF Ypres in the Lys
salient the Germans again have be-
gun withdrawing and are being close
" followed up by the British. The
British again hold Bailleul. The
withdrawal OF the Germans, SEEM
ingly indicates it is their purpose to
blot out this salient and straighten
their line southwark from Ypres. 1t
IS move, however, that is greatly
Iessening the chance of drive dur
ing the present year toward the chan
mel ports from this region.
There has been a considerable in
crease in the enemy's artillery activity
against the American troops in the
Vosges region. Several patrol at
tacks by the Germans have been stop
