AMSTERDAM, July 15. Particu lars regarding the sixth American ' machine taking part in the air raid on Coblenx last week are, given by the Elberfeld General Anzeiker. The .newspaper says that at 10:20 o'clock ; j Wednesday evening a 16-year-old col- ; ! lege student named Gerlach, -while , f harvesting near the village of Schwar ; sen in Hunsbrueck. saw a flying ma ' chine at a height of approximately . 2700 feet in flames. i : When it came down he saw it was a French biplane armed . with three ; machine gnns and bomb - throwing apparatus and had two occupants, an I American first lieutenant and anoth er v Hen teant, who were- detained by . Gerlach and two other men, who turn ; ed over their prisoners at 1 o'clock ; In the morning to the authorities at Xlrchberg. ": The. prisoners, according' to the 'newspaper, said they belonged to an ' air squadron' of six machines the goal of which was Coblenz, and that . they had been separated from -the " other fliers during a thunderstorm. A Berlin official communication, of . July 11 said five airplanes of an American squadron of six, bent on raiding Coblenz, were captured and ' their crews made prisoner. The fol '1 lowing day another statement said ' "all six of the American airplanes" - had fallen Into German hands, the sixth having been shot down. General Pershing's communication buterne.

(By the Associ ated Press) (Evening) The Ger mans have crossed the Marne at vari ous places, giving them control over twelve miles of the southern bank of the stream between Gland andMar-eull-le-port. This operation cost them dearly, five bridges being destroyed as the troops were passing over, while hun dreds of their men are believed to have met death from the machine guns and bombs of aviators.

The extent to which the check of the first day may havtj unset the en emy's calculations could not be gauged by the meager accounts re ceived today that gave any specific information of a military character. It appears certain American forces hare held against the enemy, very promptly restoring the general trend of their original lines wherever the j rush yesterday had swept them back. The major actions in the battle de veloped today Immediately to. the east of the original American posi tlons. There the enemy apparently is firmly lodged across the river and heavy pressure is being brought by Franco-American forces to eject him. The German position here appears somewhat precarious. i it was agreed that unless they were able without great delay ao ex tend their advance and widen the dent. General Foch might swing a i flank assault from the American po sition to the west in an effort to trap fhe army of General Boehm, which Berlin claims crossed the river here. Flanking Hoped For. The official report from Paris to night showed the Franco-American forces had recaptured St. Agnan.and the heights dominating the Marne valley behind the German advanced positions. This led trt the hope among officers that a wide flanking movement would be possible which would clear the south bank of the river of the enemy and probably re sult in Important captures of prison ers. The fact that the defenders are hitting back hard appears to- make it certain that the Germans have been able to make only limited im provement of their position. This is the first great battle in which Americans have 'engaged. If any confusion . developed, the swiftness and certainty with which counter attacks were sent home shows that it was quickly overcome Many officers believe the real ob ject of the drive was to widen the German line along the Marne so a later blow could be delivered with Chateau Thierry and the line north -taroert est i(aro e t Vi aaii ft a a os and reduction of the Convpeigne sal- 'k.v th rVni til herdlft of not ttir. it . it. hi.tw - miles back of the original line, the I nn!nlftn av ty Evening Standard states, This, it adds, is the deepest pene tartion the enemy has affected in the region east . of Rheims, C.
