CRACK TROOPS
OF HUNS FAIL TO
BREAK YANKEES
Prussian Guards and Bavarians
Charge In Vain Against Ameri
cans at Sergy On the Ourcq, Which
Changes Hands Six Times All
Tactics of Warfare Used.
WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY
ON TUB AI8XE-MARNE FRONT,
July 30. (By the Associated Press.)
Tlie American troops still hold the
apex of their advance, won atter a
Hirugglo with the Germans In which
the opposing lines moved forward
end backward time and again, Sergy
im the north bank of the Ourcq,
phanglng bands six times.
Ainftrirnu Complimented
The crown prince of Germany and
Ills generals paid the Americans a
lireat compliment iu bringing up
agalnut them two of their best divis
ions, the Fourth Guards and Havar
inns. They had been hold In reserve,
presumably for the operation. They
iad been detached and reached the
army north of the Marne Saturday
night. They moved thru the retreat
Ing main body yesterday and came
into the action early today. They did
Hot replace any of the German troops
already In the line, but served as re
inforcements. The first efforts of the Guards and
llavarlans were partly successful and
the Americans were forced to with
draw from Sergy and a few other po
sitions, Including the town of Ser-Inges-Et-Neales.
Dut the Germans
could not force the main body across
the river. The stream is narCow and
hallow and some detachments at
times were driven back, but always
thero remained enough Americans
on the north bank to check the Ger
man rushes and in every instance the
Americans returned to the fray with
great spirit. It was a.vctoran Amer
ican division anJ today's opposition
to the torrlble ' onslaught made
against it Justified the confidence of
the staff that It was more than equal
to anything the crown prince had to
pffor.
' Awccral Foo Vww lllg (inns
" The Germans were not. content
lth the stubborn resistance which
has characterized their fighting so
much lately. Artillery supplemented
the machine guns and infantry and
trained guard and "Bavarians began
their work In a manner reflecting
their confldonce.
In the repeated changes in position
both sides omployed all the tactics or
modern warfare After artillery pre.
(aratlon direct advances sometimes
ere made; at other times envelop
ing movements wcro tried. With the
Americans thero oporatcd a few light
I'renrh armored motor cars which
illd brilliant work In rushing tho
lino, at times their guns replying
Jmlnl-hlank to those of tho Germans.
, Scoros of times the khaki and grny
plad men met in the Btrools of the
little towns and on the slopes of tho
river hanks In hand to hand encoun
ters. The bayonet was used, but tho
Americans effectively used their! pis
tols as well. I
Antagonists Itultle In Water
Thero was much fighting actually
in tho water, whoro the Germane
trlod to rush their antagonists to the
touth bank of the stream. There
Vera times when tho bloort-tlntca
(illd muddled stream gavo evidence
Hf tho violence of tho conflict. There
vera many deaths as a result or
Hlghtly wounded men being drowned.
It was lute this urternoon whon
Bergy, for tho sixth time, was In the
I'ossesslon of the Americans. At the
amo time It was roported that every
ivlhor position hold by tho Americans
fcunday night had been retaken.
From other parts of tho long line
from Solutions around to Itbelms rome
reports of tho allied lines everywhere
holding and at some points advanc
ing. Ill IllUlit Cavalry Knld
On the American right (he bril
liant cavalry support of the French
men has contributed materially to
tho American auceess.
Today was clear but with light
rloutla. Thero was little wind and
thu weather generally was Ideal for
aorlal activity. Iloth sldiu took full
eilvantago of this.
Tho heavy guns of the allies. Ig
noring to a gnat extent the engage
ments In progress almost under their
inutile, roared with redoubled fury
during tho day, their charges falling
among tho massed troops and tho re
sorvoa and tho long troops on the
road. The allied aircraft again as
listed In harassing the troop move

tions. Tho Germans also employed

Capernl Predicts Planes to Carry 100
Persons Within Throe Years
Wars of Future to Be Fought In
Air Battleships No Match New
Aerial Machines. '
PARIS, July 30 An airship carry
ing a hundred men and equipped
with engines equal in power to those
In a medium sized steamship will be
-developed within three years, said
Gianni Capronl, Inventor of the Ca
pront bombing planes, in an Inter
view today.
"The new machines will be much
more efficacious and will prove a
great saving In operation," Slgnor
Capronl said. "A trip across the At
lantic it is believed will he accom
plished with the present day ma
chines during July, August and Sep
tember and probably October. The
weather situation would be unfavor
able during the other months of the
year. 'Heavy fogs make aerial navi
gation impossible. Aviators are un
able to guide themselves in a fog as
it makes everything -black. A trip
across the ocean at this time would
have to be made by way of New York,
the Azores and Portugal.
Aerial Code Needed
"The development of .an . aerial
code similar to the maritime code
will he necessary before there can be
general aerial navigation. There
must be International signals like
those at sea, aerial laws and a whole
volume of regulations for aerial
transportation.
"The quick development of larger
machines Is inevitable. At the be
ginning of the war the largest bomb
ing machine was of one hundred
horsepower. Now" the largest bomber
is of one thousand horse power.
"Tho liberty motor will do. We
I want thorn now In large quantities.
I have seen them work and they are
satisfactory for 'bombing machines.
Finer engines mide with much Intri
cate and specialized' parts, like a
watch, cannot be made in largo
quantities but the liberty motor can,
which is a big advantage.
Revolutionize Warfare
"War of the future lies In the air,
tor when the big commercial planes
are developed, they can easily be
turned into fighting machines with
powerful offensive propensities. Eng
land was able to defend herself with
a large navy but It will be necessary
In the future for nations to have
large aerial forcos.
"Battleships will be no match for
the new aerial machines which will
revolutionize warfare both on land
and soa. The activities of the fight
ing forcos wilt be transferred to the
air. Armies and navlos will bo un
able to battle with the immense
bombing machines of the future.
"Tho world will look to America
for great developments in aviation
becauso she has unlimited resources
while Kuropean countries are Impov
erished by long years of despoliation
and destruction. America will man
ufacture large commercial airplanos."
Gorman shipowners have rejected
a tonnage taxation proposed by the
government to be enforced after the
war and also proposed control by a
government commissioner.

AUSTRIAN SLAVS
DEFY HAPSBURGS
SEEK FREEDOM
LONDON", July 31. A new and
powerful political organization thru
Out the Jugo-Slav lands now under
the heel of the Hapsburgs Is being
organized. This is the movement
which the central empires tried to
crush before the war, and which was
one of the big factors in Its eruption.
The organization has but a single
aim that of organizing the Croa
tlans, Slovenes, Serbians and other
Slavic races into a single people able
to wield their pqlltleal power for
their own benefit.
At present Bosnia, Herzegovina,
Croatia and Dalmatla have sent their
representatives to Its meetings. Tho
the government is trying to crush
this movement, Its efforts have been
useless. ,
A Croatian newspaper recently
published a strong article against the
attempts of the government to divide
'the Jugo-Slav nation into separate
units, and went unpunished.
This journal safd In part: "They
(the Hapsburgs) have glvon us the
prospect of a Jugo-Slavia, hut with
out the Slovenes, without the Hun
garian Jugo-Slavs, without any con
sideration for the Serbs In Serbia and
Montonegro, without Flume, without
freedom. They held out to us the
prospect of, a state, but without the
attributes of a state, an autonomy
under the crown of Hungary.
"We do not accept a partial settle
ment on the basis of one race, wheth
er Slovene, Croat or Serb. We are
one nation and one territory, and so
our problem can be settled only as a
whole, on the basis of our common
declaration."
