SALIENT TURNING
INTO DEATH TRAP
RED CROSS CONFIRMS DEATH OF BRAVE SON OF FORMER PRESI
DENT OF UNITED STATES.
Peril Accumulates for German
Forces Holding Soissons-.
i Rheims Position.
ALLIED THRUSTS CONTINUE
Enemy Slakes Desperate Efforts to
; Keep Base Open and Permit
Withdrawal of Troops."
Great Rout Possible.
WASHINGTON, July 22. Indications
multiply tbat the Soissons-Rhelms
salient may prove a death trap for a
large section of the German army.
It is noticeable General Foch has
been satisfied to post his forces on the
heights overlooking- Soissons and has
mot attempted to take it.
The German high command appar
ently is making desperate efforts to
hold open the base of the salient until
troops far down the center of the great
pocket toward the Marne can be with
drawn. With French and American troops
hammering- away from the east and
I'rench, British and Italian forces bat
tering at the west flank of the Ger
man position, it was still far from cer
tain tonight that the enemy would be
able to get his forces out of the south
ern end of the ealient without terrific
losses.
The situation on the flanks of the
ealient was not so clear tonight.
Apparently the enemy is fighting
hard to hold his position around Oulchy
le Chateau, where a railway line from
Fismes, probably his chief advance base
and located at the approximate center
of the base line of the salient between
Soissons and Rheims has permitted him
to assemble considerable forces to re
sist the Franco-American advances.
Rout In Prospect.
Should the counter attack succeed in
forcing this position or in breaking
through either to the north or south
f Oulchy. it is indicated that the
German defeat might be turned into a
disastrous rout.
If the Fra-nco-Britlsh-Italian forces,
as officers here hope, are able to break
through strong enemy concentrations
toward Fismes Itself, disaster would
threaten the whole German position
south of this place.
r (By the Associated Press.)
The drive of the Americans and
French into the Soissons-Rheims salient
continues. At some points the Ger
mans are counter attacking desperately
but their efforts have proved futile in
more than impeding the advance.
Further ' ground has been gained by
the allied forces south of Soissons in
the center of the line along the Ourcq
river and north and east of Chateau
Thierry.
More Prisoners Taken.
Additional- large numbers of Ger
mans have been made prisoner and
numerous quantities of guns and war
materials have been captured.
In the Marne region the American
troops on the northern bank of the
stream are well on the heels of the
fleeing enemy east of Chateau Thierry,
between Charteves and Gland. At last
reports their advance had been puehed
virtually four miles from their old PO
eltions on the southern bank and they
were pressing the enemy northward in
the direction of Fere en Tardenois.
possibly with the intention of endeavor
ing to link up with the French forces
proceeding eastward along the Ourcq.
Further east along the Marne the
French have been enabled- to throw
forces across to the north bank of the
stream.
Severe fighting is in progress be
tween the British, French and Italian
troops and the enemy southwest of
Rheims, where the British have made
a. further advance. In Champagne to
the east of Rheims the French are re
jiorted to have regained all their old
front line positions between the River
bulppes and the town of Massiges.
Rear-Guard Action Fouskt.
The German defensive has noticeably
stiffened on the western side of the
Rheims-Soissons salient, but, although
large numbers of reserves have been
thrown into the fighting, the ma
neuvers seem to be more in the nature
ot a strong rear-guard action designed
to help the large forces of the enemy
in the Chateau Thierry pocket to escape
northeastward, than a purpose to stand
and give battle with the ultimata aim
of holding or beating back the Franco
American troops.
mat. the Germans now realize to
the full that the allies have the upper
hand in the battle seems apparent from
reports that they are burning villages
uenina tnem in their retreat and de
stroying large quantities of munitions.
The efforts of the Germans to retard
the i ranco-American forces were par
ticularly heavy Monday in the regions
or unssote and Brls St. Germaine,
respectively northwest and north o
v naieau rnierry ana to the east o
Chateau Thierry, where the Americana
are giving battle.
On all three sectors the enemy lost
further ground and his forces In the
Chateau Thierry pocket were therefore
placed in greater jeopardy.
In France and Picardy the British
continue to harass the German lines
with small attacks and raiding operations.

German . Haider Believed to Have
Been Off Cafe Cod for Several
Days British Destroyer
- Sinks Hun Diver.
WASHINGTON, July 22. Secretary
Daniels today asked the commandant
of tha First Naval District for a re
port as to the reasons for the failure
of bombs to' explode after they had
been dropped by aviators who yester
day attacked a submarine off the
Massachusetts coast.
The aviators twice circled over the
submarine when it was shelling a tug
and barges, but apparently none of
the bombs they let loose exploded.
The fact that the submarine at
tacked without warning was accepted
In some quarters here as indicating the
Germans were undertaking to bring
their campaign of "frightfulness" to
America.
Attack Causes Surprise.
Officials were surprised that the
submersible should have attacked
tug and barges, as- these vessels were
without military value and the mone
tary loss was small.
BOSTON, July 22. An investigation
was started today to determine why
bombs carried by naval aviators failed
to explode when dropped on or about
the German submarine which attacked
the tug Perth Amboy and her barges
off Cap Cod yesterday.
Experts at the headquarters of the
first naval district here said the bombs
were provided to the different naval
districts with explicit instructions that
the mechanism must not be over
hauled or any effort made to improve
It. It was reported that some of the
aviators had said that aome of tha
bombs had failed in tests.
Rear-Admiral Spencer S. Wood, com
mandlng the district, refused to com
ment on the report that the bombs
dropped by the airmen were "duds.
In regard to the attack he said:
I want to correct the Impression
given currency by certain published
stories that the Chatham aircraft were
late or not otherwise promptly 'on the
Job.'
Such stories I know to be a misrep
resentation of the facts. The aircraft
were there and dropped two bombs.
the explosion of either one of which
might have been effective in destroying
tha hostile, craft.
Vigilant Watch Kept.
No further reports from the sub
marines were received today, although
a vigilant watch was kept along the
coast by naval patrol boats and hydro
aeroplanes.
VINEYARD HAVEN. Mass.. July 22.
The battle-scarred Perth Amboy. the
victim of the attack by a German sub
marine off Nauset harbor yesterday,
was towed into this port for repairs
today.
Little damage was done the tug
below the water line and her engine i

however, was badly burned and riddled
by shells from the deck guns of the

BERLIN, via London. July 22. The
War Office claims that the fighting in
France on Sunday resulted in "a com

"Too many shirt-tails for the Mult
nomah Guard."
That's what Major Bowman and Cap
tain-Lieutenant Kendall said after the
last practice on the rifle range. A
shirt-tail, be it known, is the expres
sion Army folks use when the soldier
who is shooting misses the target and
the scorer .waves a red flag signaling
no hit. x
So the officers held a conference and
decided what should be done. They
had lots of good shots in the Guard, but
they had made a big percentage of
misses. The reason was that they
hadn't had range practice; and tha rea
son they hadn't had enough range prac
tice was because they dldn t have
enough ammunition. Ammunition costs
money and the Guard hasn't got enough
money for sufficient range practice.
To raise money for this purpose the
organization will present a patriotio
picture, "My Own United States," at
