He started out with a patrol of thirteen American machines. They en countered seven Germans and were chasing them back when two of them J turned on Lieutenant Roosevelt. .* Reports of the fight state that the ! Germans appeared to be shooting at the lieutenant from the rear, the three ma chines being close together. Then one of the machines was seen tumbling through the clouds and a patrol which went in search of Lieutenant Roosevelt j returned without a trace of him. He ap peared to be fighting up to the last i moment. One account of the combat states that the machine caught fire be fore it began to fall.

Howard Thrills Moultrie Audience of Six Hundred By Great Fighting Speech He Launches Offensive Against Harris, Goes. After His De tractors and Tells of His Own Record'in Congress MOULTRIE. Ga., July 16. —Driving here yesterday from Albany and finding himself practically a political stranger in Colquitt county, William Schley How ard held an audience of six hundred citizens spellbound while he presented his claims as a candidate for the United States senate. Il was court day in Moultrie and Judge W. E. Thomas adjourned court for forty-five minutes to give Mr. How ard an opportunity to speak. Prac tically all the lawyers at the Colquitt , county bar, as well as others from sut rounding counties in the district, were in the courthouse, and the grounds were filled with farmers. Mr. Howard delivered another of his i fighting speeches that are creating a I sensation all over south Georgia, and after he had finished dozens of men ] came up and told him they were going to vote for him. They said they were ; not especially inclined to William J. j Harris and were dead against. Hardwick, j and had simply been waiting to hear . Howard’s claims before making up their , minds. Now they were satisfied, they f said, that they "had hold pf the right j man,” and they were going to vote for him and tell all their friends about him. A prominent lawyer from a county near Colquitt, who sat near Mr. Howard, enjoyed his speech with unrestrained enthusiasm. He laughed, cried, clapped his hands, cheered, waved his arms and stamped the floor, and coming down the stairs he said It was the greatest politi cal stump speech he ever heard deliv-1 ered. Mr. Howard had not been speaking five minutes before he fastened the at- | tention of his audience and held it j like a copper rivet, and then for the i space of forty-five minutes, being limit- i ed to that time by Judge Thomas’ ad- J journment. he played upon them like a I violin. William J. Harris came in for the most effective attack that Mr. Howard has yet made upon him. Harris’ Loyalty Tert “You may think you are patriots, you gentlemen sitting before me," said Mr. Howard. "You are wearing old clothes because your» government has asked , you to economize and invest your money in War Savings Stamps. You have bought Liberty Bonds. You have con tributed to the Red Cross. You in creased your production of food arops on the farm. Your wife is doing her own cooking and her own washing, per haps, to release the labor of negro women for iise in the fields. You read' the papers every day to find out' what, your government wants you to do, and you do it. Last of all, greatest of all. . hardest of all but most glorious of all, I you have offered up your sons as a liv- i ing sacrifice in the cause of human free dom. and they are now baring their breasts to the cruel Hun on the western front. You may think you are loyal. You may think you are patriotic. But you are not. These things you have done to serve your government in time of war are not the substance of patri otic loyalty. You must march up and tell Mr. William J. Harris that you are | going to vote for him for the United | States senate, and he must reach his i hands into the bowl and get a few * drops of the holy water of his priestly , unction and sprinkle it on your heads i and bless you and pray away your sins of disloyalty and Indifference, and thenj if you have done all these other things | you will be a loyal and patriotic citizen of your state.” This line of attack on Mr. Harris seemed to sweep the audience like a sheet of flame. They sat very still when he first began, and then they got restless when he mentioned the service after service they have rendered, the offering after offering they have made, and when he reached the climax of this j partion of his speech they shook the rafters of the courthouse with their ap plause and cheers and jeers and laugh- I ter. I Mr. Hov -1 also paid his respects in aggressivt . :ts to some of the newspa pers which are fighting him for the sen ate. His reference to George Long, edi tor of the Macon Telegraph, .as "a Cana i dian slacker who will neither fight for ihis country where he has made his liv ■ ing for the past eight years, nor for the 1 land that gave him birth.” was received] [with a tumult of applause. He also paid his respects to Franc Recorder. Paying his respects to the Savannah Morning News, Mr.. Howard declared I that that newspaper hds never forgiven ’ him for introducing the corporation 1 franchise tax bill in the legislature, be- | I cause its boss is the boss of the Sa van- I nah street railroad company, which has jto pay taxes under the Howard fran i chise tax act. Newspaper Detractors “Why do these newspapers murder m®?” demanded . Mr. Howard. "They murder me because I went to congress before the Democrats were placed in. power and helped to put an end to Can nonlsrn in the house of representatives. They murder me because I originated SIX HUN ’PLANES DOWNED IN DAY BY AMERICANS ' In Addition Own Aviators Strafe Roads in Rear of Ger man Lines, Photographed' Positions and Aided Artillery WITH THE AMERICANS ON THE MARNE, July 16.—(Night.)—The great est day in the history of American avia tion closed this evening when our air men came winging homeward after hav j ing downed six Boche planes and an j observation balloon In twenty-four i hours. In addition they had strafed the roads in the rear of the German lines, photo graphed enemy nositions and worked in I conjunction with the artillery and In- I fantry. , ! After a few hours of cloudiness in the 1 morning the sun shone brightly all t day. Americans took the air imme-. I diateiy the weather permitted and fought intermittently until dark. Lieutenant J. E. Stevens swept down upon a German battery which was be ing haulde along the road, and de scending as low :ts 200 meters (about 500 feel) and poured machine gun fire 1 upon the horses and men. The horses I stampeded, the. men jumped from their I guns and caissons, and dived into the ; woods, and the guns were dragged by . ; frantic horses into a ditch. Lieutenant Francis Simmons, of New | York, brought down two Boche planes during a single flight. ; the fight for federal aid for good roads. They murder me because of my work for rural credits. They murder me be cause 1 have supported every measure proposed by President Wilson since he was inaugurated, excepting only two bills—the canal tolls bill and his veto of the literacy test for immigrants. They murder me because I voted for the declaration of war, voted for the selec ’ tive service, voted for food control, voted for fuel control, voted for railway control, voted for the sedition bill. They murder me because I worked for sixteen hours a day for live months and twenty four days assisting in the preparation of the appropriation bills that placed our country on a war basis.” In this counection Mr. Howard pre sented his audience some thrilling in , formation of a general nature concerning our magnificent progress in preparing ] for war, arousing his audience to a high I pitch of enthusiasm. He gave a masterly presentation of the arguments against the volunteer system and the arguments in favor of the selective service system, which also struck a very responsive chord. He delivered a tremendously effective 1 arraignment of Senator Hardwick’s poli cy of waiting until Germany crossed 1 the seas to Invade us from Canada and '! Mexico before we lifted our arm to I strike in defense of our national ex j isterice, showing the utter folly of such a course of action. He raised a storm of applause with ' his reply to Hardwick’s assertion, in a j recent speech, that we are' not con- ‘ i cerned with the settltment of European ' boundary lines. 1 Besides the above-quoted passage in , reference to William J. Harris, Mr.- Howard spoke also in highly humorous i vein of that gentleman’s attempt to de liver a great patriotic address at Blue , Springs, near Albany, on July the , Fourth. The audience evidently had heard about it, for they laughed up . roariously at every mention of “Uncle . Henry Mclntosh’s barbecue arranged in honor of Mr. Harris,” and the "trouble that Mr. Harris’ carburetdr developed in exactly eight Harris’ Campaign Fund "He says my campaign is a complete collapse,” said Mr. Howard. “He says I’m not getting any crowd anywhere I go. He says I’m not arousing any en thusiasm. But he spent SIO,OOO last w’eek trying to drive me out of the race. If I amount to so little, why I should he worry? And if I am really such a small fry candidate as he claims, don’t you think he ought to be bored for the hollow horn for wasting SIO,OOO ion my hopeless campaign? Why doesn’t l ;he invest the money in, Liberty Bonds i | if I am not amounting to anything in , [ this race? Do you know that the fed eral law limits a senatorial candidate to an expenditure of $7,500 in a cam i ‘ paign, and do you know that he has . ' already gone beyond that appropriation ; by several thousand dollars, and that | every dollar he spends from now on is . ] a violation of the law?" . 1 Replying to the claim of Mr. Harris . that "the preachers are supporting him i 1 because of his Intense prohibition actlvi ty,” Mr. Howard directed attention to 1 the members of the Harris speaking bu- [ ; reau. "Look them over, my fellow-citizens,” he said. "You know them all—Speckled John Bale, Blue John Bennett. Pompa dour Bill Burwell. (Laughter.) You know as well as I do that if those three fellows had their way in Georgia every flat-bottomed batteau in the state would be floating in liquor instead of in water. (Uproars of laughter.) I thought you people here in Colquitt county claimed the honor of having a citizen who did the real pioneer work for prohibition (referring to Judge W. A. Covington), but Mr. Harfis has taken the credit away from him. (Laughter and ap plause.) He will claim anything in the world. If you walked up to him and said you understood the Bible to say that Gabriel would blow his horn on the final day of judgment, he would say: ‘Why yes, I made that trumpet and made Mr Gabriel a present of it. He is now supporting me for the senate.’ ” (Prolonged shouts of laughter.) Speech Made Many Votes It was certainly a “bear eat of a po litical speech,” to quote the language of a number of men who joined in the gen eral hub bub of congratulation and com ment when Mr. Howard finished. They lingered In the court room and shook hands with him. followed him down stairs and kept him on the courthouse lawn, went with him to the garage where he was having some repairs made 'on his automobile. His friends told him . that the speech would carry Colqutt | county. There were too many men to get anything like a complete list of names of those who congratulated him. but here are a few: R. G. Clark, clerk of court; Dr. C. B. Harrell. Judge W. A. Covington; SherifT ; W. W. Byrd. Henry Murphy, tax collee : tor; John A. Clark. Jr., planter; W E. I Oneal, planter; R. M.

BRITISH TO 8E TUMI) FOO PROTECTION OF POOTS Lieutenant Milson Describes Early Assaults Against the English and Canadians Describing tn the most graphic lan-1 guage the terrific struggles on the ] western battle lines in France of the j British and Canadian troops who held , the allied line against the assaults of the Hun early in the war. Lieutenant Harry G. Milson, special representative of the United States shipping board, addressed the members of the general ! assembly Wednesday noon ifi the house ] of representatives. The senate and house convened in joint session at 12 o’clock suspending! the consideration of all legislation, to j receive the message brought by Lieu- j tenant Milson, who has only recently 1 recovered from wounds received in I France and who has served 37 months on the western front. The young officer, who was one of I 63 men left out of a Canadian regiment of 1,032 that entered the second battle of Ypres, held his auditors spellbound by the magic of his eloquence as he told of the horrors that piled thick upon the Canadian contingent sent to the aid of the hard-pressed British and French at the outbreak of the war. In simple but . thrilling sentences he detailed the bloody j work that followed the assaults of the Hun divisions against the scanty forces j of the allies barring the awy to the, channel ports. He described the awful carnage that resulted frofri the use of gas by the Germans in that bat tle and pictured the horrible sufferings of the men who died in agony as the gws cloud rolled over the Canadian trenches “But our orders were to ’stick it,’ and thank God we did stick it.” said Lieu tenant Milson. , "And the world can thank the British bulldog spirit for the fact that the Huns did not get through to the channel ports.” “And that’s the message I am bring ing from the United States shipping board and all the industrial organiza tions that are endeavoring to give the highest efficiency in winning the war,” he continued. “You must ‘stick it’ over here to the , last man and the last dollar, just as they are ‘sticking it’ over there. The industrial workers must stand side by | side with the men in the trenches if we are to bring victory to democracy’s banner.” Lieutenant Milson characterized as base calumny the propaganda started by the Germans in this country to the ef fect that the British troops had not done their share in the fighting. "If there were not ladies present I would say that it was a damned lie’ he shouted. There were many ladies tn the galleries of the house and they joined in the applause that rolled out as the speaker uttered these words. “They are all standing side by side in life and in death over there and with your unreserved support we will win such a victory that autocracy will never again be able to look democracy in the face.” President Samuel L. Olive, of the sen ate, who presided over the joint ses sion, introducing the speaker and follow ing his address with a few brief re marks, declared that since he had been in the general assembly he had never heard a speech that surpassed the one delivered by the young Canadi.’tn offi cer.

July 17. —German prison ers taken in the Champagne fighting were fatigued and discouraged at the failure of the new drive. Some blame their officers for lack of success. The commander of one battalion, a* former professor, harangued his subal- : terns and under officers at great length • in a tirade against the professional offi cers of the army, declaring they re- ! mained safe in the rear and sent the citizen officers to their death, accord ing to prisoners.

FIELD GUNS USED LIKE RIFLES ON ADVANCING HUN Then, When Enemy Showed Whites of Eyes, Machine Guns Were Turned on Him.: He Wavers and Runs WITH THE AMERICANS IN THE CHAMPAGNE, July 16. (8:55 a. m.)— American units holding the line east of Kheims have not given an inch before the German drive. Forming the allied right flank, they ' stood like a stone wall against the great enemy push, inflicting huge losses on the Germans and taking large numbers of prisoners. Following a bombardment of gas and high explosives, which adjoining French units declared was heavier than any ever attempted at Verdun, the masses of gray-clad German infantry swept for- . ward to the assault yesterday morning. American field guns, firing low over the heads or our men in advanced posi tions, tore great gaps in the close packed ranks of the enemy. The ma chine gunners and riflemen withheld their fire until they could literally fol low General Putnam’s famous order— “ Don’t fire until you see the whites of their eyes,” then at a signal they cut loose with such a tornado of steel that the foremost waves of Boche infantry were torn to shreds. The Germans wavered, tried to reform their ranks, and finally fled, leaving the field carpeted with gray bodies. Time and again the Boches returned to the attack, .doggedly trying to sweep o.ver the American front lines and carry the rise which formed our support po sition. And time and time their waves broke and receded on the defense of the Americans, for all the world like the waves of the sea battering at a rock bound coast. The Americans even brought trench ' mortars into play. The range at times i was so short that the heavy projectiles often cut through a score of tnen be fore exploding. One of our mortar gun ‘outfits, operating In gas masks for six I hours, wiped out five German battal i ions (probably 2,500 men). Some of the rushes carried into the ’ American lines, and bayonets, clubbed : rifles and fists were substituted for bul- I lets. But these temporary successes only resulted in the Americans taking a few prisoners. The prisoners were comparatively few, too, as a Boche, in the heat of melee, had to shout “Kam iarad!” mighty quick to beat a bayonet ' thrust. 1 The Boches sent over an escadrille of thirty-six airplanes to attack the Amer icans with machine gun fire while fly ing low. Our doughboys turned their ■ automatic rifles skyward and actually shot down one ot the enemy machines. The others were so badly strafed that they fled. The fighting was almost continuous • throughout the day but toward evening ’ the Germans— thoroughly whipped for the time being—called off their infantry and settled down to an artillery duel i that was a battle of some magnitude in ' itself.
