He shot down two Of the scout ma
chimes and chased the others so deter

he attacked the two-seater and shot II
down in flames.

HUN SEA RATS SOON To QUIT THEIR HOLES
German Fleet, Reinforced

LONDON, July A.I-The Germans are
believed to be about to start their great
naval dash into the North sea.

bottled up In the ltiel canal and the

were being built last year.
Naval critics point out, however, that
even with the addition Of the Russian
ships, the German navy Is stlll vastly
weaker, both in ships and men, than

Huns Discard THE
CHRISTIAN RELIGION
mature Worship" Most
Popular OF Beliefs: Dancing
Succeeds Prayer
TRUTH AND HONOR
NOT IN NEW PATH"

BY Newspaper Enterprise Association.
AMSTERDAM, July 26.-Germany has
discarded Christianity.
OF course the world has known that
she discarded ITS practice in 1914, but
now she has thrown of all pretense at
being a Christian nation and has adopt
ed all sorts OF substitute religions.
The .trlbulations OF the fourth year
OF war have produced an extraordinary
crop OF strange cults In Hunland In
which the most decadent forms Of i'm
morality have been fantastically garb-
ed in the abandoned shreds Of genuine
faiths.
Morality. truth and honor are ebol-
ished and all those restraints which
bind normal communities together are
dispensed with.
The most popular Of the new "ersatz"
religions Of Germany is that created by
Ludwig Reuner, Leipzig pan-Germsn,
who has set forth the tenets OF his
faith" I'm a book which has already
passed through two editions. II Is en-
Titled German Nature Worship; A Re
llgion Based on Scientific Grounds"
In its preface the psn-Germsn author
declares:
"A really German religion cannot
emanate from the international Christ
endom that Is foreign to our nature.
The modernized German religion, for
example, has no use for prayer as It is
generally conceived.
This will be replaced by certain
physical and spiritual movements Of
various descriptions, such as systematic
morning exercises, sblutions and baths,
deep breathing and holding Of breath,
singing, dancing. the reading OF beau
tiftil poems, and the contemplation Of
distinguished works Of art, exercise in
will control mutual auto-suggestion
among the whole body Of devotees and

BRILLIANT WORK OF
AMERICAN ARTILLERY

Grand Headquart ers OF the French Ar
my in France, Feb. 14.-(By the Associat-
ed Press The American artillery took :,
brilliant part in an important French
attack yesterday between Tahure and the
Butte du Mesnil in the Champagne, par
ticipating in the preparatory lombard
ment and the ensuing barrage fire while
the operation was being executed.
The assaulting troops brought back 16.
prisoners and they established them
selves in German positions to depth OF
three-quarters of a mile along front or
nearly a mile.
The task of the assaultng forces was
to attack and take a German salient dip
ping into the French positions. 1t was
a difficult operation owing to the nature
of the ground. which formed a basinlike
depression into which the Germans could
pour the fire of their concentrated guns
on the surrounding heights.
The artillery preparation lasted siX
hours and with the aid of aviators it Va
ascertained that the enemy's defe:5.N.
positions, which were remarkably s,rDne,
had been broken up to q large extent. AZ
AS in the afternoon the order was given
TO the infantry units to 60 over the top.
Every man had been instructed fully re-
garding the detectives to be attained
Just before this a steady. fine rain be
gan to make the ch4illy earth like a sKa;-
ing rink. The troop. however, advanced
with determination although they were
obliged occasionally to arrest their pro-
gress owing TO machine gun positions
having escaped attention Of the French
and American gunnerS
With the help of the courageous gren-
adiers these were stormed and destroyed
and their occupants were either killed or
taken prisoner. At 5.15 rockets announced
that all the detectives had been gained.
The American gunners with their
French comrades extended their range,
putting up an effective barrage to pre-
vent counter attacks. which, however. did
not come. the Germans having been COM
pletely Disconnected.

Manchester. y. H., Feb. 14.-Former
COY. Charles NJ. Floyd, state fuel ad-
ministrator who returned late this aft
ernoon from the conference or New
England fuel administrators held in
Boston, stated he had decided in view
of the facts presented that New Hamp-
shire would observe at least next Mon
day as u heatless day.
Mr. Floyd issued this statement this
evening;
The situation in our state is per-
hapS better than that in the other New
England states and while the concen-
sus of opinion OF my district chairmen
is that the sentiment of state would
warrant the abandonment of further
closing Mondays, I believe considering
all the facts as developed at the con-
ference today it is best for the state
OF New Hampshire to keep the Gar
field closing order for at least one
week more"
On arriving at his Office this evening
Mr.. Floyd found many kilograms from
pleading for fuel enough to allow them
to operate for a few more days. The
amount of fuel on hand in this state
will allow for the operations for at
least 10 days. The majority of the
manufacturers will have to close down
