OFFICIAL WAR REPORTS

London, Aug 2?
U 4'45 o'clock this morning our
troops attacked the positions of the
enemy between the Sonime and the
Ancre Rivers.
By nightfall yesterday our patrols
had made progress on the left' bank
of the Ancre River to tbe bouth and
southeast of Ileaucourt.
North ot the Ancre River our posi
tions gained yesterday wero main
tained against strong hostile counter
attacks delivered during the nfter
nonn and evening on the Mlraumont
and Achlet-Le-Grand front.
The hostile artillery has been very
active throughout the night on the
battle-front and this morning fresh
hostile counter-attacks are reported to
have developed opposite Mlraumont
and Irles.
Between 2000 and 3000 prisoners
and a few guns were captured by us
ln our operations yesterday.
Further progress has been made by
us to the east and northeast of Mer
ville. Our troops are on the outskirts
ofNeuf Berquln.
Last night we attacked and cap
tured a hostile strong point north of
Ballleul.
A Btrong local counter-attack wa
delivered by tlie enemy yesterday
morning against Locrehof farm,
northwest of Dranoutre. It was re
pulsed after sharp righting. Further
fighting took place during the night

appreciated is the conttast between

is now joined with that 1, gun between
Soissons and the Marne cm July IS, and

would mark the end of "a pussy-foot
policy "
"I want to see millions nf Americans
In France," said Chamberlain. "I want
our Government to adopt u real win-the-war
policy and abandon .the pussy
foot policy. I am not In favor of hav
ing our boys brigaded with other troops
abroad. Whenever Americans havo gone
into battle over there as American units
they have made a glorious record"
t'rglng that Congress do nothing to
.impede tho war program, Senator Reed
declared It will be necessary to draft
the men below twenty-one if America Is
to do the part assigned to her by the
Allies. Reed's speech was the opening
gun In tho Senate In the light to pre
vent passage of. an amendment similar
to that proposed In the House to defer
calling the men below twenty-one. Reed
said the present army program doesn't
call for a big enough army. In his opin
ion. Senator Reed predicted that C.OOO.OOO
or 7.000,000 men would have to bo raised
before the end of the war, which, he
said, would last another twenty-four
months. He advocated sending half-n-
millloii men at once to Russia, declaring
they would keep 2,500,000 Austrian sol
diers busy, and If the Russians opposed
them it would prove Russia was a vassal
of Germany:
Five amendments were lntrcduce.1 by
Senator Cummins. One provides that
the work-or-flght provision is not to
apply to strikes, providing the str krrs

A declaration published yesterday lv
Aiiier Thomas In Iltimanlte may be re
garded as meaning In plain language
that tho French parl'amentary Social' j'
Party lias decided tu relinquish Its old
practice r,f threatening fi carry Its op
position to tlie Clemenceau cabinet to
the extreme pilnt of refusing to voti
future war credits. Til's ma-kH auoth-r
step In the tcmiei.ey of tho French So
cialists toward coming Inlo complete
alignment with the British and Amer
ican labor organizations on tlie question
of the war.
It Is becoming clearer as the weeks
go by that tho real 'feeling of the
French Socialist. Is tcpresented by
Thomas and his forty brother deputies
who formally washed their hands of all
taint of Internationalism when they
broke away from the main body of the
party a few weeks ago. As tho Thomas
section of tho party numbers two-fifths
of tho whole party representation In the
chamber It Is evident that the propa
ganda, advocating a resumption &f
friendly relations with tlie enemy So
cialists has proved to be a failure, do
spite tho frantic efforts In Switzerland
of Troolstra to revive tho proposal for
an International congress.
Thomas bases his .declaration on a mo
tion passed by tho Socialist congress ot
Bordeaux which laid down tho axiom
that voting war credits during tho war
was a symbol of national defense- nnd
that the Socialist party before refusing
to vote further credits must bo con
vinced that the Government asking for
them was anlniated by Imperialist mo
tlves or was a government of treason
beforo the enemy or tending to be
tray tho- republic regime. Ignoring
the latter vote of the Huhio , Socialist
congress which led to Longuet and the
Internationalists being placed In nom
inal command cf tho party, Thomas
points out that tho real underlying rea
son for threatening to. refute to vote
war credits was a measure of reprisal
nualnbt the Government for refusing to
grnnt pasjrirta for the Stockholm In
ternational conference and refusing to
discuss the allege.) -vustrlun peace pro
posal and slinba. questions, in a word,
as a means of expressing opposition to
the policy of the uovernment.
German Sentries-
Lax, Says Order,
Continued from Van One
Injr corn, In which they entirely con
ceal themselves.
The order cqncludes by saying that,
above all things, the men must fight
and never surrender. They must re
member that victory cannot be won by
defensive,' but only by victorious, ac
tion and assault.
Certainly lit the great forward move
ment or the last twelve days the -Aus.
tralians have well earned the compli
ment of this warning, and by their
conduct proved the vital importance I
of movement and assault. No praise!

Willi (dp American Army In France,
Aug. 22,
It is to bo doubted if anything could
have caused moro satisfaction
throughout our nrmy than the an
nouncement that tho first American-
made airplanes wero doing duty on
tlie front,
Many discouraging delays and dis
comfiting stories from tho United
States nbout our nlr program have
caused n certain spirit of apathy and
doubt, not only among our aviators,
but in the infantry nnd nrtlllcry ns
well a sort of feeling that America
was never going to produce any nlr-
ploncs on the front lines. Our sol
diers had seen Germany and our al
lies Increase their nlr strength, nnd
had realized tilo growing importance
of nir work, whllo nil tho time Amer
ican airplanes seemed only a myth,
our trained aviators having walled so
long In vain for machines.
Franco, had supplied all the ma
chines Rhe could spare, but because
of the Inrgo number of nlrmcn that
left most ot them on tho ground. For
inc nrst sixteen months wo wero In
tho war we placed no airplanes on
tho front, nnd it was Impossible) for
our allies to supply our large needs
In a comprohenslvo wnv because of
llieir renuirements. Wo hnve had
squadrons nt work for months with
French machines, but we could have
had ten miles ns many men in the
air hntl tho machines been litre.
Real American Pianos Now
Rut now comes the refreshing
promise that nil tills is to be changed.
American airplanes American from
tip to tip are here nt tlie. front nnd
mat brings belief In the ofllclal state
ments that many more aro coming,
Hud that nt last America is to be a
big factor in tho nir a factor, tho
need of which bus been verV nnnnr.
cut In tho recent fighting ot our troops. J
.o nir worn so uppenls to Amer
icans as that of the chase machines.
American nvintors-Iovo to matcli nervo
and wits against liocho aviators, with'
full confidence in tlin result. Conse
quently, thero may be some disap
pointment that no cluiFo machines
nrc yet in sight from America. Rut
If she never places n cltnsc machine
on tlie front, n big field of nir scrvico
still lies open to America. It is In
bombing work that America stands
a plumee to make a big nlr play.
Chaso machines are essential to pro
tecting observation machines and
'eoping bncho Mors beyond our lines,
but I feel strong in tho prediction
that America in to make bombing tho
biggest war nlr work. TTetwcen tho
wor'-: of the eha'so wasp and tho heavy
bombing machine there Is tho differ
ence between a machine gun and a
heavy cannon. It is the machine gun
ner who can bravely stand off the
onemv close nt hand, but it is tlie gun
ii r of the big field piece who can
send destruction nnd fear far back into
the enemy's lines.
Air bombers in thousands from
America can do wonders toward eariy
victory. If America puts r.000 bomb-
- tilMilnnef! to work by next spring
slip will have done her part In tlie nir.
One who has seen much of the work of
the Gorman bombers in the Inst few
cp':h almost shudders to think of tlie
hnv-c that- could be done by a flight
of 1000 American bombers back of the
