Associated Press) The uses of the airplane as an auxiliary to Infantry In action are being continually ex tended. It is the opinion of mili tary, leaders here that .the need for more and more machines and trained men is shown toy the success of the low-flying airplanes In operation against the Germans during the past two months.. j . On the 'western front this spring two factors German recklessness of life and the success of the allies In holding back the German airmen gave the opportunity of developing on a large scale this method of har raising attack. - The success of the low-flying air planes Is of two kinds the slaugh ter they inflict, and secondly, ' the disorganization they cause. .This second factor is of more Importance than most people realize. An un expected check to troops on march Is always troublesome. Men won der what has happened. Suddenly bombs begin to fall, men are killed, horses stampede, -wagons are smash ed and the road blocked. Until the allied airplanes are seen, the terror Is mysterious. When they are seen, with the irresistible Implication that the German planes have failed to drive them off, the psychological ef fect Is very severe. The work of the British airmen received a reluctant tribute in a re cent Issue of the Berlin Vorwaerts, which was captured in a raid on the German trenches. The German news paper, in an article full of apparent ly sincere admiration for British flyers,' said: "Never before have the English -thrown their airmen In such great, masses behind our front in they are doing la their present re treat." . .. But the higher command of the British air force Is by no means sat isfied. - 'A high official pointed oul to the . Associated Press correspon dent in discussing this phsse of air work, that "never ibe fore was ' the need of the air force for trained men and finished malarial so urgent as It Is today." He added: "It has been said loosely that the allies are masters of the air and have achiev ed aupremacy In flying. But the aerial situation is too fluid to justify such words. As a cold fact, com plete mastery of the air could only come If there were no German ma chines able to take tha atr. "Superiority Is snother matter, and it is true that at the moment this may be claimed by the allies. For example, the British record of bombs dropped in April shows 12 to 1 against the Germans. . The pres ent superiority can . be maintained and must ibe maintained, not only on general grounds, but particularly for the developmet of the now tac tics of the low-flying airplanes. "What Is needed Is more machines and more trained men, and It Is the people, the men and -women of the allied countries, who in the last an alysis must five or withhold effec tive superiority lu the air." Paris, July 18. The French posi tions remain Intact along the whole Champagne front, according to the war announcement today. Heavy fighting continued throughout the day and at some points, the Germans were able to make gains, but they mot with powerful realstanre every where. The text of the statement reads: "The battle continued today with stubborneae along tho whole front. Weal of Rhelms, despite his efforts. the enoniy waa not aihle to make fur ther advances. Our troops by their heroic resistance and Incessant cone ter attacks, checked, with alterna tive advance and recoil, the thrust of the enemy. ."South of the Marne the fighting proceeded on the wooded slopes north of 8t. Agan and U Chapells. Kant of Oeullly the enemy gained a footing In Mont Volnfn. . "Between the Marne and Khelms the buttle continued north of Reull, and in the Rols du Rol. which the Germans penetrated and which our troops defended foot by font. -. "The forest of Courton likewise das the theater of violent engage ments. The enemy holds the tinea west of Nanteull-taFosae."
