PARIS, July 28. (Special.) I have
visited the battlefields of July 18 and
19, from Chateau Thierry to Vlllers
Cotterets. I particularly Inspected the
regrion of Chateau Thierry, Bouresches,
Belleu and Torcy, where American
iroops covered themselves with glory
and whence they set off their attack in
the Epieds Plateau.
Wail
Already the Germans had been cleared
up. The fury of the battle was re
vealed, however, in the numerous shell
holes, shattered . trenches, oroken,
branchless trees and houses in ruins.
TJie Summer sun wis giving incom
parable color to the crops, which the
battle has spared more than I imagined
and which await the reaper to be gath
ered in.
I came across artillery batteries of
American columns. Coolness and pride
shone out in their youthfu-i faces.
Small groups of French Poilus appeared
quite gay, as if on maneuvers. A few
kilometers away there was fighting In
Chateau Wood, at Oulchy Le-Chateau
in fact a little everywhere. But the
fiilence was impressive after the
tumult of the preceding days. Yet In
the air, all gilded with light, something
passed which one could not hear but
which one breathed with ardor the In
toxicating breath of victory.
Good Neni Arriving;.
In "Postes de Commandment" of Gen
erals Mangin and DeGoutte good news
was arriving. Oulchy-le-Chateau was
taken in the evening. We had entered
Fere Wood and Fere-en-Tardenois was
but three or four miles away.
I was able to see with what surety
and what care Mangin's and DeGoutte's
counter-attack was organized. By, all
the fierce local combats which marked
the first fortnight of July, Mangin and
IeGoutte captured favorable starting
off points north and south of the
Ourcq..
One cannot explain why the German
nign command aid not understand or
sense these attacks, which cost him
much ground and numerous prisoners.
He had launched himself a big offen
sive July 15 under the illusion that his
right flank would hold against any
counter-attack, the possibility of which
had not escaped his attention, but he
thought his adversary incapable of
meeting one. But a very little pre
vented Mangin from reaching the Vesle.
Ludendorff Must Be Fnrloui.
Now the battle becomes fiercer and
the advance slower. Ludendorf f, who
must be furious, is making a powerful
effort in the precious Marne pocket to
draw away his divisions, that are
threatened with a disaster which he
must at all cost avoid.
We have been able to notice with
what degree of presumption the Ger
man high command allowed itself to
be drawn into the July 15 offensive.
The enemy brought in an unimagin
able quantity of material for the at
tempt to cross the Marne, as weil as
for the attack on Rheims Mountain.
He no doubt thought he would throw
200,000 or 300,000 men across the Marne
and enough material quickly to cut our
communications.
His colossal plan easily can . be.
iiimsiueu io jtusn our Marne armies
back toward Paris, from the barrier
and, renewing on a smaller front the
pincer maneuver of 1914, shut in our
eastern armies between those of the
Crown Prince and Von Galwitz. The
results would mean the fall of Verdun,
Toul and Nancy and the destruction of
the French forces there, as well as the
American Army on that front. It was
indeed an offensive for peace. As in
1914, here, was the Marne, that blessed
river which decidedly does not mean to
become German.
treat Deception Necessary.
In the present hour, in view of hi
new immense deception, Ludendorff
has two pressing cares, to hide defeat
from the German people and the at
tendant consequences by preventing as
many as he can .of his troops and as
much as he can of the material en
tangled in his retreat from falling into
the hands of the victors.
It must be recognized that the Ger
man rear-guards understand the situ
ation and right desperately. They con
tinually counter-attack as much in the
ast as in the west. They are delaying
me nuvdace ui -iviangin, ue tioutte and
3erthelot s armies, thereby allowing
evdtuauun oi material.
Nevertheless, much booty remains in

it. is possmie that a great part of
tne neavy material will be able to es
cape toward vesle. But the roads
ore iewer and crowded. The road
wmcn passes through Fere-en-Tarde
nois henceforth is forbidden. There
still remains the somewhat difficult
loads which run from the Marne to
Fisnies through the wooded region of
xaraenois, Between Ia Fere and Ville
rn-Tardenois. That is why the Ger
man advance is more marked on the
Kheims-Dormans front.
Nevr Divisions Thrown Into Battle,
Any serious advance by General
Berthelofs army by the valleys of the
Antere and the Vesle would compro-
i,.ie me eiasiii; retreat or the re
turners from the Marne. New divi
i-ions arriving daily are being thrown
into the battle. The whole of the
Crown Prince's army is swallowed up
in it. liUaenaont, no doubt, has de
cided to stop at a position that shall
rest on the heights north or south of
the Vesle. For this he must solidly
hold Soissons and Mont Thierry at west
of Rheims.
The allies', high command has ob
tained a highly important tactical and
moral success. It has regained initia
tive and ascendancy. But it does not
only see the Aisne and Vesle. It
knows that the battle front stretche
from Flanders to the Vosges; that th
enemy is always redoubtable elsewhere
than in Tardenois.
Lndendorff still disposes of mass di-
visions with which he can attempt to
repair the check on the Marne. if not
directly by a counter offensive aimed at
returning to the Marne he must be
disgusted with this then by powerful
diversions against the British or west
of the Ojse.

V. S. Will Be Obliged Eventually to
Create Air Ministry, Says Major
Gcncral Brancker, Controller-General.
"
NEW YORK, July 28. An aerial of
fensive to cities of Germany, including
Berlin, is possible in the opinion of
Major-Generai W. S. Brancker, controller-general
of equipment of the
British air ministry.
Major-General Brancker, In a state
ment to the Associated Press, laid em
phasis on the organization of the air
forces on a basis quite independent of
the land and sea.
He believes that eventually the
United States will be obliged to create
a secretary of air forces. For the suc
cess of the allied cause he feels
strongly that the quicker air inde
pendence is established in this country
the better.
Air Ministry Necessary.
"We simply hal to come' to an air
ministry in England." said General
Brancker. "The Zeppelins and the
Gothas, coupled with the experience
gained when aviation was controlled
by the Army and Navy, forced it upon
us. You have had no Hun air raids in
this country to arouse you, but it is
hoped that, lacking this stimulus, you
will profit by our experience.
"Are not the advantages of inde
pendent control obvious? Here you
have one branch of aviation under the
administration of the Secretary of
War, another under the Secretary of
the Navy. These ministers have many
other affairs to attend to in addition
to aviation. In England we have Lord
Weir, the Air Ministerras the lfead of
the Council of Seven.
Co-ordination Is Necessary.
"We can formulate policy and strat
egy, while production, equipment and
personnel function under one control.
We do not have the anomalous 'situ
ation of one branch of aviation serv
ice competing with the other for pro
duction and equipment. Such co-ordi
nation as this, obviously, is the only
way a great air offensive can be pre
pared for ind conducted. We need
your help, your great resources and-a
similar organization in this country
to co-operate with us on equal terms.
"It is within the realm of certainty
hat we can bomb Berlin in the Spring,
f not in 'the Fall, with airplanes we
are building, as we have already
bombed Cologne and the Rhine cities,
but we have not the numbers for a
really big offensive, in my understand
ing of the term. We have plenty of
planes and can build plenty more, but
we lack engines, and we have about
reached the limit of capacity for en
gine production.
Atlantic Flight Feasible.
The delivery of certain types of
planes by flying them across the At
lantic is feasible. If we can fly to
Berlin and back, which is more than
800 miles, we can fly from Newfound
land to the Azores (the longest lap of
the journey, which is 1200 miles). This
means a big organization, airdromes
and repair plants in Newfoundland and
the Azores.

The statement reads :

FliAXDEKS FRONT IS A MIUE
Conditions for Any German Attack
Are Extremely Unfavorable.
WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN
FRANCE. July 28. (By the Associated
Press.) Continued rain has turned the
Flanders front at many places into an
almost impassable mire, while all other
parts are wet and soggy. Some parts
are unfavorable for launching an as
sault against the British lines, even if
the enemy has some such plait in mind.
Large quantities of gas have been
projected against' various sections of
the German lines, which have also been
shelled freely and, according to pris
oners, the enemy units are losing
strength little by little.
So far as the German soldiers them
selves are concerned, they seem, per
fectly satisfied to push matters, for
their officers have been telling them
extraordinary tales in order to make
them fight instead of submitting to
capture. Prisoners say they were
warned the ner Zealanders were op
posite and that on no account should
they allow themselves to be taken
alive, as the -New zealanders were
cannibals. They were told that they
would be offered cigarettes and eaten
directly after. All the prisoners, much
to the astonishment of their captors,
firmly declined to accept cigarettes.

Marne Free of Huns.
At these two points the Germans
have concentrated artillery and in
fantry knowing that if a breach be
made a great majority of the Germans
in the pocket must be sacrificed.
On the banks of the Marne south of
the center of the salient not a single
live German remains. Their sudden
retreat here was brouht about by the
constant pressure of the French-Amer
icans and British. Allied troops have
kept constantly on the heels, of the
enemy and some patrols have advanced
considerably farther than the line in
dicated.
The method of retirement adopted
by the enemy consists of first retiring
one company from every two compa

maining company. Then the last sec
tion withdraws leaving only a few men
with machine guns to cover the -re
treat. These men often are sacrificed,
but sometimes they manage to rejot

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY ON
THE A.ISNE-MARNE FRONT. July 28.
"The battle of the woods" has ended
and the Germans have been swept from
the forests of Fere and RIs. Toward
the last of this four-days' struggle
the Franco-American advance became
so rapid that the retreat of the Ger
mans was greatly disorganized.
The edge of the Germun salient to
the south and southeast .of Fere-En
Tardenois was ground down by the
whirl of the allied troops and dulled to
an extent that German weakness was
indicated at many points. The first
indication of this was seen Saturday,
when the enemy retreated so rapidly
that the Franco-American troops en
tirely lost contact with him.
Gunners Dressed In Green.
In the battle of the woods, the stiff
est resistance the Americans ever ex
perienced in til is kind of warfare was
encountered. Franco-American troops
were compelled to contend constantly
with a rear guard action, consisting
rinclpally of machine gunners, most

Day after day during the fighting
the allied troops bucked the German
machine gun nests, using artillery and
machine guns and some gas against

such as carrying machine guns in
tretchers when endeavoring to reach
some points under the allied fire.
When they realized that their stretch
er trick had been discovered, the Ger
mans resorted to other means to de
ceive. Huns Resort to Tricks.
The Franco-American Infantrymen
and machine gunners were notified by
their commanding officers to be on the
alert for Germans wearing American
or French uniforms, several instances
having been reported where the Ger
mans did this. On one occasion, the
soldiers were notified by field orders
that Germans had appeared In the
tunics of French and American eol
diers. Rushing across an open place
in the forest where the German nests
had been discovered, one German, act
ing as a leader and speaking perfect
English, yelled to the American ma
chine gunners:
'Don't shoot; there are Americans in
that thicket." '
The Americans were at the edge of
the- forest, peppering a wood. They
ceased when a detachment appeared.
The detachment entered a forest to the
right of the Americans and in a few
minutes a hail of machine gun bullets
came from that direction.
The Americans quickly realized that
they had been duped and turned their
machine guns upon the impostors, wip
ing them out in short order.
Intelligence officers in the American
Army say numerous cases have been
reported by soldiers of being encoun
tered by Individual Germans wearing
American uniforms and in some cases
of Germans wearing merely an Amerl
can or French tunic, presumably hav
ing obtained them on some other front
The allies have lost few prisoners in
the battle of the woods and the Ger
mans were unable to obtain uniforms
from the dead, owing to their retreat.

A TENDENCY
TO ANEMIA MAY.
BE INHERITED
A tendency to thin llooS, or anemia,"
may be hereditary. In fact it often
runs in families and in such cases it
should be combated, as soon as a symp
tom shows, by the use of a reliabla
blood-makimj tonic.
Mrs. Elsie Monatesse, 2 Torter street,
Haverhill, Mass., and her seventeen-year-old
dauphter, both used Dr. Wil
liams' I'ink Fills for the treatment of
anemia and their experience follows:
"I had suffered with anemia or lack
of blood from my girlhood," says Mrs.
Monatesse. "I was losingrnystrength,
was run down, and had terrible head
aches. I took bitter tonics and other
medicines but they did not seem to
help me. I was discouraged, my appe
tite was poor and what 1 did eat wou.i.
not stay on my stomach.
"I had heard of people who wera
benefited by using Dr. Williams Pink
l'ills, and I decided to try them. I
noticed improvementafter I had taken
three boxes. My appetite became
better and I felt stronger in every
way.
'"'My daughter, Antoinette, becama
run down about three years ago and
seemed to have no ambition. She was
colorless and her limbs ached continu
ally. She had no appetite and her faca
broke out with pimples. Dr. Wil
liams' Pink Pills helped her at once,
and she began to eat better. Hercolor
came back, and the pains in her limbs
disappeared."
