FRIDAY EVENING, YANKEE FLYERS GET THREE HUNS IN AIRBATTLES Putnam Brings Down His Eleventh Machine; Allies Maintain Lead With the American Arniy in Franco, July 19.—Three German machines were shot down by Amer ican aviators In the Toul sector. Eugene Jones, of Chicago, and A. G. Tobin, of San Antonio. Texas, while protecting a squadron of ob servation machines, encountered tlx German airplanes near TMaucourt. They promptly attacked the enemy, but Jones' machine gun became jammed. Tobin sent one down in flames and then engaged another, which he sent crashing to the earth. First Lieutenant David E. Putnam of Newton. Mass.. also shot down an enemy airplane. This is the eleventh enemy machine credited to Lieuten ant Putnam. A dispatch from Paris says the new German offensive gave the American aviation forces their first opportunity to participate in major operations. Allied airplanes in force had crossed the German lines at day light Sunday morning to clear the air. harass the enemy's movements, and learn as much as possible about the German concentration and artil lery positions. "There was no pretense of secrecy. The Allies knew the Germans were on the eve of attacking and the Ger mans knew that the Allies knew. In these air forces the Americans were well and gallantly represented. Their observation airplanes had done aj share of the preceding day'c photo-; graphing, locating troops and guns.: As a testimony of their success it! may be said that during Sunday located twenty-five enemy batteries, i mast of which were neutralized by our artillery before they were fairly in action. , "Our chaser squadrons were in structed to c?ase air fighting ar.d fly low to harass the enemy's troops and ammunition movements with ma-1 chine gun fire. It was in this pre liminary fighting that Quentin. who! three days previously had brought: down his first German, was lost. j "It was on Monday and Tuesday.! when the Germans were forced to, abandon moving troops and muni-; tions by night, that the allied avia tors did their most spectacular work. A great flock of more than 200 went out Monday, the Americans flying the l lowest, the French next, and the' British the highest. When they reached an important highway the American commander dived. Every American followed, then the French, and then the British. "Every machine emptied its guns j into miles of wagons and the fields to which the Gtrmans scuttled.

Between the Aisne and the Ourcq the advance of three kilo meters by General Mangin's Army was completed within one hour.

YANKEES PLAY BIG PART IN DRIVE [Continued from Hrst Page.] the total allied strength, it may be said it is greater than any partici pating: in a buttle since the Civil War, and the conduct of the men Is eliciting the commendation of the French. They have performed the part assigned to them with steudl ness, courage and skill. To a large portion jot the Ameri cans these four days have been their first real fighting. Reports from along the lines Indicate a great deal of clean, open warfare, some spon taneous localized actions being un dertaken without a preliminary bar rage. and it is In actions of this character that the America® units have won the praise of tho French. The tore of Thursday's com muniques and likewise the success of the counterattacks begun curly to-day have infected the French and American troops with high confi dence in the outeomo of the great enemy offensive.

Full Measure of Victory Is Difficult to Judge By Associated Press Paris. July 19.—Military com mentators are unanimous in calling Thursday's Franco-American ad vance a fine success, but deprecate jumping to conclusions as* the battle is still going on. Henry Btdou, says the fact that the German reserves intended to support tho offensive of July 12 have rushed to the rescue of General von Boehm makes the continuation of the enemy drive toward Epernny difficult. "We have arrived at the moment when the manipulation of the French divisions ts going to be decisive and in that game we may believe the last word has not been said," adds Bid ou. Terrific Storm Aided Allies in Their Surprise On the French Front. July 19. — The French-American attack along tho broad front north of the Marne was an absolute surprise. Many Ger man officers were captured while asleep, and numbers of the men were taken while harvesting rye. The greatest stupefaction cre ated amotiij: all the enemy troops holding the lines at the suddenness of the attack. Some of the prison ers declare they had been told that it was impossible for the Allies to carry out any operation in the way of an offensive for some time. Many tanks participated in the at tack. having been able to take up their positions during the terrific storms which prevailed. The Amer ican troops, co-operating with their French comrades in the assault, did brilliant work. Around Courchamp, northwest of Chateau-Thierry, the German resist ance was more obstinate than on any other part of the line. In this region the Allies captured eighteen cannon, numerous machine guns, and large numbers of prisoners, who have not yet been counted. The allied troops showed wonder ful spiit, and advanced singing. A battalion of infantry crossed the River Savicros breast high in water. A barriage fire preceded the waves of infantry, but one of the heaviest storms of the year drown ed the noise of the shells. Most of the Germans had taken shelter 1n their dugouts from the deluge, and the allied' troops were among them with grenades and bay onets before they had time to turn around.

Holly Springs Against Proposition Carlisle, Pa., July 19. —Posting of notices that the trolley rates of the Cumberland Railway Company are agairi to be Increased, has raised a storm of protests at Mount Holly Springs. It has not been indicated as yet whether or not the Increase will affect the other branch of the line from Carlisle to -Newville, but It Is believed likely that it will. It is understood that the new fare rate will be eight cents, instead of seven. About eighteen months ago the company increased the former Jive-cent fares to seven cents, claitvi ing that the revenue was inadequate to meet expenses. In Carlisle the road has been under lire on several occasions since that time, as the franchise here prescribes a five-cent fare only. Persons mainly affected by the raise are workers in Carlisle indus tries living in Mount Holly Springs and the surrounding section. With the increase the rate to Mount Holly would be sixteen cents for a six-mile trip. Just three years ago the con cern was giving special rates of ten cents for the round trip of 12 miles. Citizens of Mount Holly are plan ning to make a protest. Carlisle trade organizations have also been asked to intercede. The Mount Holly section was the original road built by Patricio Russ. of Harrisburg. It has 'been in the control of Shippensburg men for about six years.
