HYDRO AIRPLANES

GUARD AMERICAN PORT IN FRANCE (ny Assorted Prexs.) AMERICAN NAVAL BA8E, Fr&nci, Oct. 28. -Correspondence of The Associated Press. Hydroairplanee constantly watch and guard this great American port and the American shipping approaching or entering it to prevent attack by submarines. One of the planes lay on the water ready to start seaward as The Associated Press correspondent visited the harbor today, it looked very light and filmy for this desperate Work and Its gray body gave It the appearance of a giant mother settled on the water. Overhead 1,000 feet up, swung a huge, lung-shaped balloon from the basket of which a naval officer and a sailor peared through marine glass- ' 8. "They are on the lookout for submarines," said the escort. '"Their r.hifef purpose is to report the whereabouts of a submarine, and the destroyers then do the rest In forcing it under water. Even if submarines are off -this port, they are practically helpless, if we can keep them under water. It is only when they come to the surface that they can launch their torpedoes with full effect. Torpedoes fired when the craft is under water may lack direction to make them -dangerous. So that, after all, the problem for the destroyers is to keep the submarines under wafer, as well as to destroy them." On shore scores of hydroalrplanea were ranged in two Vast hangars and there were sheds for the balloons. A big whaleback from the Great Lakes was off to port and to starboard was a massive freighter. "That is a strange ship," said the escort. You will note she has no upper deck or cabins. The whole deck rolls back, like the roof of an openair theater, and the deck becomes an enormous open hatch. It is like a huge open bowl, with no obstruction in lifting out the freight." The freignt in this case was as curious as the rolling deck, forlt consisted of 33 enormous Mogul locomotives, all set up and ready to move, and with their tenders coupled. With the deck rolled back, locomotives and tenders were picked up by giant cranes and swung around to the nearby quay. Very soon these same locomotives just out of the bowels of a ship, had steam up and were puffing off toward the front.

Marines Advance For Seven Miles Facing Storm of German Shells

WASHINGTON, Oct. 28. T6 advance seven miles against a hurricane of German fire, machine gun bullets and big Shells, is not all glory and exhillaration even for a United States Marine. This is disclosed in a series of vivid pen pictures of the tremendous fighting in which those American boys participated on the Marne salient written by Major L. Denig, of the Marines, to his wife In Philadelphia. Major Denig and his battalion took part in the great Allied counter-attack on the Marne salient, July 18, that started the Hun backward toward Germany and began the disintegration of the German western front. In that fight the Marines covered themselves with glory but at a terrible cost in killed and wounded. The major's letter affords an opportunity to see the fight through the eyes of a man who took part in it. "To picture a fight," he writes, "mix up a lot of hungry, dirty, tired and bloody men with dust, noise and smoke. Forget the clean swords, the prancing horses and flapping flags. At night, a gas filled woods, falling trees and bright, blinding flashes-yoU can't see your neighbor that is war. In the rear It is all confusion. The general told me "Hurry to such a place, all goes well, we are advancing!" His staff miles away, all clean one was shaving, another eating hot cakes we had not had a hot bite for two days. Ab I reached my jumping off place wounded men, killed men, horses blown to bits the contrast!' After describing the beginning of the advance of the Marines to the fighting line. Major Denig continues: "We were finally, after twelve hours ride, dumped in a big field and after a few hours' rest, started our march. It was hot as hades and we had had nothing to eat since the day before. We at last entered a forest; troops seemed td converge on It from all points. We marched some sit miles in the forest, a finer one I have never seen. Deer would scamper ahead. We could have, eaten one raw.,. At ten that night, without food, we lay down in a pouring rain to sleep. Troops of all kinds passed ys in the night a shadowy stream, over a half million men. Some French officers told us that they had never seen such concentration since Vef dun, if then. "We formed up in a sunken road on two sides of a valley that was perpendicular to the enemy's front. We now began to get a few wounded; one man with ashen face came charging to the rear with shell shock. He shook all over, foamed at the mouth, could not speak. I put him under a tent and he acted Is if he had a fit. Germans Tried to Surrender. "At 8:30 wejumped off with a line of tanks in the lead. For two.,"kilos" the four lines of Marines were as straight as a die, and their advance over, the open plain in the bright sunlight was a picture I shall never forget. The fire got hotter and hotter, men fell, bullets sung, shells whizzedbanged and the dust of battle got thick. "A man near me was cut in two. Others when hit would stand, it seemed, an hour, then fall In a heap. I yelled to Wilmer (Captain Pere Wilmer of Centerville, Md.) that each gun in the barrage worked from right to left, then a rabbit ran ahead and t watched him wondering if he would get hit. Good rabbit it took my mind off the carnage. You think of all kinds of things. "About sixty Germans jumped up out of a treneh and tried to surrender, but their machine guns opened up, we fired back, they ran and our left company after them. That made a gap that had to be filled. So Sibley ad-1 vanced one of his to do the job. Then a shell hit in a machine crew of ours and cleaned it out completely. "At 10:30 we dug in the attack just died out. I found a hole or old trench and when I was flat on my back I got some protection. Holcomb was next me; Wilmer some way off. We then tried to get reports. Two companies we never could get in touch with. Another officer on the right reported he had and could see some 40 men, all told. That, with the headquarters, was all we cold find out about the battalion of nearly 800. Of the 20 company officers who went in, 3 came out, and one, Gates, was slightly wounded. "From then on to about 8 p. m. life Was a chance and mighty uncomfortable. It was hot as a furnace, no water, and they had our range to a "T." Three men lying in a shallow trench near me were blown to bits. "I went to the left of the line and found eight wounded men in a shell hole. We thought they were killed, but they were not hit. You could of kin, Mrs. Chris, Stoen, sister, Beresford, S. D. First Lieut. John D. Mathais, de ceased, Twenty-third Infantry-For extraordinary heroism in action In the Chateau Thilerry sector, France, June 6, 1918. As a leader ot a platoon On the first day Of the Chateau Thierry battle, he demonstrated Conspicuous courage and ability, fearlessly going forward at the head of his command through hostile machine gun fire. Killed while heading a gallant charge. His daring Inspired his men to successful assault. .Next of kin, Mrs. Evan T. Mathis, Hooka Mill Read, Americus, Ca. 1

hear men calling for help in the wheat felds. Their cries would get weaker and weaker and die out. The German planes were thick in the air; they were in groups of from three to twen ty. They would look us ever and then we would get a pounding. One 'of our planes got shot down; he fell about a thousand feet like an arrow, and hit in the field back ot us. The tank exploded abd nothing was left. Algerians Cam to Relief. "Well, we just lay there all through the hot aPternoh. It was great a shell would land nearby and you would bounce in your hole. As twilight came, We sent out water parties for the re lief of the wounded. Then, we wondered if we would get relieved. At nine o'clock we got a message congratulating us, and saying the Algerians would take over at midnight. We. then began to collect our wounded. A mah who had been blinded wanted me to hold his hand. Another, wounded in the back, wanted his head patted, and so it went; one man got up on his hands and knees; I asked him what he Wanted. He said, "look at the full moon," then, fell dead. I had him buried, and all the rest I could find. All the time bullets sung and we prayed that shelling would not start again while we had our wounded on top. "The Algerians came up at midnight and we pushed out. They went over at daybreak and got all shot up. We made the relief under German flares and the light from a burning

town. "We are now back in a town for some rest and to lick our wounds. As I rode down the battalion where once companies 250 strong used to march, now you see 50 men with a kid second lieutenant in Command; one Company commander is not yet 21. "In the first fight 103 of them ia the company that I bfought over Were killed or wounded. The Second fight must have about cleaned out the old crowd. "We advanced ten kilometers, with prisoners and guns, and the bells rang in New York for the victory, while well-dressed girls and white-shirted men, ho doubt drank our health in many a lobster palace."

TRAP, GUN AND ROD BY TOM MARSHALL. There are kings In the trapshooting World men who are shooting experts under all conditions, climatic or personal. Contesting through a succession of registered tournaments covering months of time; shooting at thousands of targets, thrown at different angles and velocity, over grounds of different contour, in a job Ot of wind and weather. Men are able to concentrate and so direct the muszle of their gun, pointing it at flying targets, not to exceed four inchea in diameter, that there are less than three mistakes in judgment on every l00 targets shot. The computation ot averages for the season of 1917 Crowned William H. Heer of Guthrie, Okla., amateur champion of the United States, breaking 97.41 percent of 2,050 targets. Lester German, of Aberdeen, Md., annexed the professional season's championship, with an average of 97.64 percent on 6,285 targets. William Heer, the present amateur champion, was formerly a professional, hailing from the Sun Flower state. He spent his boyhood days on a farm about eight miles from Concordia, Kas. A vein of coal Was discovered on the home farm and Billy became a miner. This work was strenuous and he seldom swung Indian clubs for necessary exercise. When a trapshooting defy was issued to the World by the Pacificcoast contingent matching Frank Troeh of Vancouver, Washington, In an individual race against all comers at 500 single sixteen yard targets for a $4,000 purse, Billy Heer was the man selected to pull that David work against Goliath. He went forth with his little sling-shot, properly fitted with a pebble ,and "brought home the bacon," defeating Troeh by a score 6f 473 to 470, the narrow margin of three targets. Heer qualified as a contestant in the National Amateur Championship in 1918, by .winning the Oklahoma state championship. In the finas held during the Grand American Handicap in Chicago he was successful over the field, breaking 93 targets out of a possible 100. He was tied by F. S. Tomiin of New Jersey, who succumbed to the prowess of Heer in tie shoot-off. William H. Heer is justly crowned the National Amateur champion. Lester German, of Aberdeen, Md landed high in the 1917 season's averages with 97.64 percent. He certainly demonstrated the fact that he possessed all necessary professional championship qualfications. German has been identified with the sporting World for many years. As the premier pitcher for the Giants of New York, with Park Wilson as teammate behind the bat, they put up a front that assisted materially in landing tha pennant. His debut as a scatter-gun artist, was made upon the flats adjacent to Chesapeake Bay, in pursuit of ducks the feathered aces of the air. His ability to rapidly compute angles, loads, elevation dips and velocity, putting into immediate action every necessary faculty, requisite for a successful finish, attracted the attention of the DuPont Powder company who immediately put him on the pay roll as a professional trapshot. Experience in the pitcher's box, with his pinch-hitting proclivities, eliminated stage fright, making him a most formidable competitor. He is an indefatiguable student of the game. His timely advice has started many amateurs on th ehighway to successful shooting careers. Three Die in Porto Rican Earthquake By Associated Press SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, Saturday, Oct 26.
