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.

she was in constant misery.
"She was awfully nervous and con
i tinually so distended with gas that
: she could hardly breathe, for it
; seemed as though her diaphragm
was compressed by the distension of
: her stomach.
"We had tried many remedies
satisfactory results and we
had about given up hope when I
| read in the paper where Tanlac had
brought relief in a similar case. I
bought my wife a bottle of this
wonderful medicine and it gave her
relief from the very first doses. She
improved steadily and it wasn't long
until she found herself enjoying her
meals and sleeping well and long.
"We both feel now that she is per
, manently cured and we have been
| giving Tanlac to our young son and
|he is rapidly becoming well and
I strong so that thanks to Tanlac
I health and harmony has been restor
jed to our home."
Tanlac, the famous reconstructive
tome, is now being introduced here
at Gorgas' Drug Store where the

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.

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.
