ATLANTA, GA., SATURDAY, MAY 11, 1918
{By International News Service)
LONDON, May 11.—British avi
ators have photographed Ostend,
confirming that Friday morning's en
terprise against the submarine base
was entirely successful, and that the
fairway is now locked.
The old cruiser Vindictive, which
was sunk at the entrance to the har
bor, was manned by fifty-two volun
teers, including a iieutenant com
mander and four engine rocm attend
ants who had taken part in the Zee
brugge attack.
The Germans scented trouble and
opened fire with their shore batteries.
Eleven six and four-inch shells were
tiircwn seaward when the British na
val forces were still two and one-haif
miles off shore.
Meanwhile airplanes began to bom
bard Ostend and long range guns in
Flanders were turned against the Os
ten district. When the sea fog roli
ed away the British sent out a smoke
screen which complesely hid the ves
sels. It was so thick ‘it could not be
penetrated even by searchlights. The
Germans kept yp their gun fire, seek
ign out the Vindictive, but the shells
missed the monitors and motor boats.
The Vindictive groped along the
coast for half an hour seeking the
bottle-necked harbor. Finally the
Germans began to send up high power
star shells revealing the pier heads
nearhy.
The bow of the cruiser was jammed
against one pier while the stern
swung across the channel, grounding
aft.
Explosives were fired, sending the
Vinaictive to the bottom. A motor
boat dashed alongside taking off the
officers and 38 men. They were car
ried to Commodore Lyne's flagship,
the Warwick. .
Another motor boat returned and
took off a lieutenant and two men
who had been wouaded.
Aircraft Charges
(By International News Service)
NEW, YORK, May Il.—Asserting
that more than 3,000 American air
planes might have bheen in use on the
western battle front as far back as
last March, Gutzon Borglum this aft
ernoon issued a statement countering
the charge that he had hoped to reap
financial gain as a result of his alle
gations against the Government's air
craft program,
He denied with vigor that he had
been actuated with selfish purposes
and insisted that his friendship for
President Wilson has never been mis
used.
“I deny the charge that I improperly
used the President’s authority in any
matter whatsoever,” said Borglum,
“efther in a manner to offend good
form or to constitute a breach of con
fidence. The people who are opposing
me presented that charge to the Pres
ident in 2 way to offend him, as it na*-
urally would.” ‘

LONDON, May 11.—The German
air service has been battered to
pieces. Since March 21, it is stated,
their losses total 700 pilots, observers
ard machine gunners, while 1,000 ma
chines have heen destroyed. This ex
plains the cessation of the raids on
London &nd Paris-—the enemy being
forced to withdraw night pilots for
use in day flying and observing on
the fighting front. The Germans also
require their huge long-distance
llmmhing machines for bombing near
the front hecause they have lost so
‘many of the regulation small type.
It is no secret that the British avia
tion service saved the situation in the
early crucial days of the drive when
Von Hindenburg flung 40 divisions
against the British fifth army, which
had only fourteen divisions.
The German aviation service suf
fered tremendous losses (rying to
gain supremacy of the air as low
flying British machines attacked and
broke up German communication and
supply trains with machine gun fire
and bombed newly constructed rail
way centers, thus delaying the Ger
man advance.
Allied Battle Line

today.
(Locre lies about five miles south
west of Ypres, on the West [Manders
front, amidst the hills .that the Ger
mans have vainly been trying to cap
ture. The village itself was recently
taken by the French in a storm at
tack.
A few German prisoners were cap
tured.
Successful raids were carried out
in the night west of Merville, where
other prisoners were taken,

For Raid by French
By NEWTON C. PARKE,
Staff go'rrespondent of the Inter
national News Service.
WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY
IN FRANCE, May 10 (Delayed.)—
American artillery this morning co
operated with the French guns in
preparing the way for a French raid
in the sector of the Apremont forest
(on the Woevre plain),
The bombardment lasted two hours
and was so intense that it was plainly
heard in Toul, between sixteen and
seventeen miles.
Previous to the raid, the Americans
on the French right flank created a=
infantry diversion. Our patrol en
tered the village of Apremont, but
found no CGCermans. It returned
through a barrage fire that the. Ger
man batteries laid down.
Another American patrol ent the
outer entanglements in front of the
German trenches. The men were
working on the heavy inner line, ten
yards from the German trenches when
twenty Germans attacked with hombs,‘
rifles and automatics. The Americans
returned the fire for fifteen minures
when they heard German rvinforc:-‘
ments running along the duck boar 15‘
of their trenches. Then they retir:d, |
not having sustained any casualties, ‘
In the preliminary bombardmant
the Germans countered, throwing nu
merous gas shells {
Prisoners recently captured by the |
Americans northwest of Toul divulged
that the Germans were bringing up‘
fiame throwers and placing them be
hind Apremont preparatory to an at
tack, whereupon American artillery
threw over an assortment of pro
jectiles, and fine results were report
ed. 'The prisoners taken today con
firmed the reports fully.
Before our patrol made its unmo
lested tour of Apremont village this
morning a private made a daylight
jaunt into Apremont on his own hook.
This private learned yesterday after
noon there was to be something auing
and expecting his lieutenant would re
connoiter, decided to beat him to it.

‘Ace’ With 39 Victims
(By International News Service)
PARIS, May 11.—By destroying
six German aeroplanes Thursday
Sub-Lieutenant Rene Fonck today
leads the French air service, his
score of victories totaling thirty
nine, against Lieutenant Charles
Nungesser's thirty-four, and
nearly reaching Guynemer’'s rec

mate’ Guynemer, a few days after
the German airman Wissner shot
down the French super-ace near
Poelcapelle in September, by
shooting down Wissner within the
Allied lines near Dixmude.
Fonck's progress has been the
fastest attaized by any avlator,
he commencing as a fighting pilot
less than a year ago. He ig re
garded as showing the fin2st tech
nique in air fighting of all pilots,
with the possible exception of
Jean Navarre. Fonck's maneu
vers are so clever that he seldom
gets a German machine gun bullet
or a shrapnel splinter in the wings
of his machine.

ILONDON, May 11.—King George,
Queen Mary, the Prince of Wales and
Princess Mary today reviewed the
first parade of United States iufantry
ever held in London.
The American soldiers thus honor
ed today hail from all parts of the
United States. They were trained at
Camp Gordon,
The royal party stood just outside
of Buckingham palace and saluted

The marchers passed the palace just
at noon.
King Salutes Flag.
When the regimental colors and the
‘Sturs and Stripes were carried by,
the king removed his hat. As the men
marched past the palace the regiment
al band from the Grenadier Guards,
played “The Stars and Stripes For
ever.”
Although the windows of the palace
were curtalned, the faces of the ser
vants could be discerned peeping out.
There was a tremendous cheering
throng in St. James park opposite
the palace,
This was “American Day” in Lon
ldun and a rousing reception was giv
en to the American soldiers that

Glory” flew alone from tha Warp Office,

staff officer stood at a window as ths

| As the Americans entered Whites
hall, after emerging from Horse
Guards Arch, the sun broke through
the ciouds, which was taken by the
' populace as a good omen, The band
played a lively air as the doughboys
passed between the banks of thou
sands that lined the streets. Traffe
was halted and every open space was
a sea of human faces.
. British Tommies evinced interest in
the men. The Americans were smil
ing and intensely intcrested in every.
thing. They carried their equipment
'sturaily and made in '~xvvlls;m. show
ing. .
; All of the London papers gave
large space to Americon day and the
march of the American soldiers. The
program was reproduced in detail. In
commenting upon the statement that
‘there are now half a million men in
France, The Daily Mail said:
“That represents a really great
achievement The Americans have
immense, unlooked-for difficulties to
contend with All can not be over
come, but America is fast getting the
better of them.”
The Times said: “The enemy's self
deception about the impossibility of
America’s army ever reaching France
must by this time be an unpleasant
thought.” 4
The Post published an article a
column long on the American effort
to counter balance Russia’s defection.
“If it takes ten times 500,000 men
to get even with the Hun, America
will send them,” said the Express.
Word was received in Atlanta early
this week of the safe arrival in Eng
land of the 325th and 326th Regiments
of the Eighty-second Division, from
Camp Gordon, and it is presumed
here that these units participated in
the historic parade through the streets
of L.ondon ’ ¥
Although the men composing these
organizations come from all sections
of the United States, resulting in the
division being gziven the designation
of the All-American division through
a name contest conducted by The
Georgian shortly before their depar
ture, their officers are made up ver¥
largely of Southern men, and many
of the best homes of Atlanta are rep
resented with members among the 2
men in cemmand. e
