2 A THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE; JULY 16, 1916. SUBSEA IS DECLARED MERCHANT VESSEL State Department Says Its Ruling Shall Hot Cover Other Cases. EACH MUST STAND ALONE Washington, July 15. The State department formally ruled today that . the German submarine Deutschland ii t a merchant vessel and entitled to ( treatment as such. In announcing the ruling Acting Secretary Polk aid it was not to be taken, as a precedent and that any similar cases arising in the future would be dealt with on their merits. "In view of the facts of this particu- lar case,' said Mr. Polk, "there is no t reason why the Deutschland should be considered a war vessel." '. ' The department's action was based " upon reports of nary and customs of ficers who examined the submarine v a: Baltimore and found 'that it was unarmed and incapable of being con ' verted for warlike purposes without ' extensive structural changes. An ad visory report from the neutrality board, to which the case was referred informally by Mr. Polk, held that the .. vessel should be accorded all the privileges of a peaceful commerce car t rier. , . Now that the status of the vessl has been fixed, to far -at the American government it concerned, every pos ' sible effort will be made to prevent - newt of its movements in territorial waten of the United States from j reaching the allied warships which , may be waiting oS the Virginia coast Mrs. Marshall Visit!

He taid he just shut his eyes and it was all over. As a matter of fact the whole affair was over in less time than it takes to tell it And the strange part of it was how Franchi got out of the fray without being dashed to instant death. A few minutes after the Franchi ac cident a cloud of dust below the east turn wat the tignal for another stretchintr of neckt.

British Flyers Sweep Over Field at Height of Few Hundred Feet. GZXMAK8 LOSE BALLOOtfS Dompierre, Picardy, July 15. (Via London.) A ttring of great balloons you can count sixteen without glasses is the first obvious thing that a reporter sees on this front Next his eyet wander to the uncountable batteriet in action. Above them the aerial telephone stations swing be yond the trajectory of the German gun fire. On the German side, not a single balloon is visible. Fifteen have been burned in the air by a secret contriv ance, known only to the allies, since the offensive began. The German artillery is 'blinded because the allies have now obtained the mastery of the air, according to the confident claims of the British and French officer!. It is true, that from this point of view, a German aeroplane is rarely sighted, while French aviators are constantly on the wing. A dramatic and startling novelty has been presented by the allied avia tors in this great offensive. French and British airmen have actually co-operated in the infantry charges. They have swept over the battle field at as low an altitude as 600 feet and some of the more daring swooped over the struggling armies at as low a heighth as 300 feet. These airmen have Hgnalled to the French artillery telephones the pre cise position of the German guns and the location ot the Uerman torces waiting for the French assault. They have taken great risks of being hit by shells from their own guns, but, ac cording to the officers, everyone es caped, j lhe trench have developed on a great scale their aerial torpedoes, which are charged with a higher ex plosive than the large-calibered shells. These torpedoes can be hurled half a mile and fired with such rapidity that a second will leave the ejector while the first is still in the air. Scarcely More Than Name. The village of Dompierre is scarce ly more than a name.. The resistance made by the Germans here, as in all the other villages in the neighborhood seems to have been most tenacious. In the cemetery the vaults were used as ,bomb, proofs and the cement and' iron 'railings around the graves as barricades. The French concen trated their gunfire on the cemetary at Curlu for half an hour before the obstinate defense of the Germans was crushed. They used shrapnel shells, which filled the air with curious green, opalescent vapors. Une ot the dramatic episodes oi the fighting was the storming of a cliff known as the Gendarme's Hat, which formed the tide of an old quarry. The Frenchmen reached the top and halted in the sunlight, wav ing their helmets and handkerchiefs and cheering madly. Reorganized, the defenses In the occupied territory is a vas.trengjneei' ing worx. ugnt iiem railways ate thrown forward ot the newMihe,.num erous solid roads are built. across the country and the ring of haferijier on metal can be heard in theffttstervals of artillery fire. The whoje jepon is busy 'with preparations forjholding the newly won German ground and for moving forward. The controlling mind of all this is General Marie Emile Fayolle, an elderly artillery commander,- who had been 'retired two years before the war began. TliOfiRSON-BElDEN 6CO.
