BATTUB LINr" TO-DAV
Hard, Costly Fight
Wins U, S, Advance
Continued from Pare One
the fighting here the French com
munique last nlsht (-aid: "Fleece com
bats were fought in the sector of
Epleda and TruBny." These combats,
bloody and severe, were fought by
Americans, against whose Indomita
ble energy the Germans fell hack
Wednesday afternoon, giving Us an
average advance of three kilometers.
While the actual advance waa not
marked by such bitter fighting. It was
the fierce combats up to Wednesday
morning which resulted In the ad
vance and which the correspondents
aio now permitted to discuss.
Fight for Epleds Costly
The fight for Epleds was one of the
most severe and costly In which the
Americans have engaged. North of
Epleds Is a wooded hill and to the west
similar hills at the lower end of the
Bols de Chatclet and to the east other
hills up to the northern end of the
Bols de Trugny. Epleds Is reached
by n alley from the south, through
which runs the main road. On Tuesday
afternoon the American Infantry went
up the ravine by the side of the road
Into the village. They were swept by
fire from more than a hundred machine
guns the Germans had placed on the
hills about the village. We got Into the
village.
Soon tho Germans got the range ana
began heavily shelling Epleds and we
withdrew to the hill, the Germans tak
ing possession of the village under the
protection of artillery fire and bring
ing In more machine guns.
Yesterday morning we again faced
the task of retaking Epleds. In the
meanwhile our troops had taken pos
session of most of the Bols de Trugny,
and vthe French and Americans haa
taken all of Bols de Chatelet. While
a small force stayed In front, drawing
the Are of the Germans from the village
and hills, our troops moved against the
machine-gunners from the rear. The
troops In front of the village and on both
sides attacked together, forcing the Ger
mans to evacuate quickly.
Trugny, a small village, was the scene
of more bloody fighting between the
Germans and Americans, the result ot
which was shown by the fact that the
woods yesterday morning wero clear or
boches
In nature Bols de Trugny Is much like
Bols de Belleau, a rocky formation form
ing excellent nests for German machine
guns. After hot fighting we held Trugny
and started north through the woods.
This was one of the nastiest jobs the
soldiers ever undertook. We sent attack
after attack against those woods on
Tuesday, and the success of the Germans
In holding their line north of those woods
was responsible largely for the delay lu
our advance on Tuesday. Wednesday
fresh troops drove the Germans from
their stronghold and more than three
kilometers back. The advance was not
difficult after their hold on the ridge
north of the woods was broken Later
In the day Courpol was taken by us as
well as Brecy, to the north, and the line
pushed ahead. i
Herman Position Imperiled
Yesterday morning our troops were
pushing ahead less than seven miles
from Fere-en-Tardenols. We are now
fighting on the line of hills where the
Germans expected to stop the Allied ad
vance, making necessary an alteration
In their plans. The Allied drie cannot
be stopped on this line. North of Jaul
gonne the Germans are "holding on, but
the salient Is getting narrower all the
time, and our advance through the forest
de Rltz Imperils their position there.
In the 'operations In this section the
Americans are being assisted by French
cavalry, who are doing yeoman work as
scouts. This work is very valuable be
cause of the boche tactics of retreating
In pockets, leaving machine-gun nests oa
both sides to form traps for our men.
Their success In this method Is growing
less, as we are taking successful means
to meet it,

RAILROADS
CO-OPERATJON NEEDED
TO FIGHT COMMON FOE
Must Have Better Understand-
ing Between Washington and
London, Says U. S. Official
By CHARLES H. GRASTY
Special Cable to Evening Public Ledger
Covvrtphtt IDI8, bv Sew York Tiwif Co,
London, July 26.
Commenting on tho lack of co-ordination
between Washington and London,
nnd particularly the need of recasting j
the arrangement for replacement of
American troops, one of the best In-
formed American oftlclals said:
"The question Is not one of whether
one country Is doing too much or another
too little. We haen't time now for com
parisons of this kind. For the duration
of the war we should think In terms of
alliance Instend of separate allies. The
President aptly said that we are all eat
ing at the common table. Likewise we
are turning out ships from common ship- i
yards. We are getting coal from com-'
mon mines. We are fighting Germany
with a common army. There Is abso
lutely no difference between the good
American and good British soldiers, and
yet how are these matters being treated?
"England promises to replace the bri
gaded American soldiers. Conditions
change and make the carrying out of the
original program highly Inadvisable, and
et England goes on with the execution
of her out-worn promise as If shawere'
dumb and America deaf and both were
blind.
"To Illustrate what happens In the
concrete. I will give you a single In
stance. A few weeks ago England needed
300 riveters to finish a rush Job. She
couldn't get on without them. She asked
America to send them. After Investiga
tion Washington asked how many
English rheters had been combed out
for the army. Downing street gave 150n
as the number, and Washington promptly
suggested calling back the riveters from
France and BOO wero called back. '
"Can any greater folly be Imagined
than turning skilld riveters Into" green
soldiers? If there were any way to
arrive at the facts. It would probably be
showrf that one riveter was more valu
able In practical results In a shipyard
than ten riveters In the army In France.
Then why such uneconomic procedure?
"Well, they said they would replace
Americans, and the promise must be
kept. If they iald down' on It it might
cause unpleasant comment. Such con
siderations as these should be disposed
of by closer counsel between the Allies.
The waste and lost motion through each
ally playing the game singly are tre
mendous." Big Battle Heard in Paris
rrln, July 26. So heavy was the
artillery fire on the main battlefront
last night that Paris again could hear
the boom of the cannon.

TWO IDEALS STRUGGLE
Foreign Secretary Declares
One Is From Heaven and
the Other From Hell
London, July 26.
A. J. Balfour. Secretnry for Foreign
Affairs, speaking at a meeting to Inaugu
rate theCerblan War Alms Committee
of London, said now that the world had
had time to consider tho underlying dif
ferences In Ideals which separated civi
lized mankind Into two bitterly opposed
camps. It had come to realize that per
haps the most Important of these dif
ferences was the treatment that should
be accorded by great Stntes to small
States and by nil States to each other.
It was Austria's unprovoked attack
on Serbia, and Germany's attack on Bel
glum, he declared, which awoke the con
science of civilized mankind to the ter
rors which militarism hud for mankind
In the future and had gradually brought
In one nation after another to resist the
forces which would have drawn them all
under the heel of Austria's master the
German empire.
There was no comparison possible be
tween what a German victory would
mean and what an Allied victory would
mean. Nothing could bo more certain
than that In nronortlon ns the Allies
'were successful so would spread the
I Allies' Ideals of national liberty, de-
elopment and Independence. And noth
ing could be more certain than that In
Proportion ns the Germans were suc-
ceRsiui, so w'ouia ine area unucr uerman
.domination, economic, cultural and polit
ical, spread over the whole civilized
world.
"On the result of the struggle for the
supremacy of those Ideals," said Mr.
Balfour, "the one from heaven, the
other from hell, depends the fate of the
world."
The foreign secretary hoped that one
of the results of the war would be the
solution of the Balkan problem.

TRIBUTE TO HOOVER
By the Associated Press
London, July 26,
The Government gave a dinner this
evening In honor of Herbert C, Hoover,
the American food administrator; Vic
tor Borct, French minister of provi
sions, and Dr. Sltvlo Crespl, Italian food
minister.
J. R. Clynes, the British food con
troller, who presided, said that, owing
to assistance from the United States,
bacon and ham hereafter would be
sold without coupons. He referred to
Mr. Hnoer ns a man they all wanted
to keep on good terms with, because
he "could deliver the goods."
Premier Lloyd George, proposing the
health of the guests, paid a glowing
tribute to Mr. Hoover. He said that
through him America had achieved a
great triumph In securing a large num
ber of people In Europe from want and
starvation. There waa now no fear
whatever, he declared, that the Allies
would be starved out.
Germany, continued the Premier, had
made tho greatest gamble In her his
tory, she had pitted her whole destiny
upon the success of the submarine cam
paign, and it had failed.
After comparing Great Britain's abun
dance of food with .Germany's scarcity.
Premier Lloyd George said he regret
ted the necessity for bringing In a
warning as a skeleton at the feast. It
was not altogether question of food.
It was a question of tonnage. America
was sending hundreds of thousands of
men monthly. It was a great and
allant army, which already had ap
peared In great numbers on the battle
field and bad added fresh lauiels to
those crowning the brow qf the Ameri
can Republic. More were coming and
next year It would be a gigantic army
and It was a question of bringing sup
plies for that army.
This would absorb more tonnage than
rarrying the men themselves. America
was building ships nt a great rate and
her program was a great success. Great
Rritaln also was building as fast as she
rould, but In addition to building she
had to keep her gigantic fleet repaired
and most of the repairs to American
ships mu-,t be done In Great Britain.
Consequently there was a limit to the
number of ships which could be turned
out.
While the number of ships was In
creasing enormously, the Premier con
tinued, the demand on shipping was
greater and the essential need of econ
omy In food and every other commodity
must be Kept firmly In mind.
Notwithstanding the ouput of ship
ping last month, which for the first time
was greater than the losses, the Premier
continued, and that the surplus would
Increase monthly, still the demand was
growing at an enormous rate. There,
etry shipload saved meant an addition
to the numbers and efficiency of the
American army, on which the hopes of

All Things la Common
"We are learning many things In this
war. Wheli It began we were foreigners
to each other. We shall never meet as
foreigners again. We talk to each other
now ns though we were old friends nnd
we nre beginning to discuss things as
though we wero members of the same
cabinet. There Is a common cause, a
common table, a common larder and a
common coal cellar. We nre making
shipping common, so far ns poss'ble.
"From the common struggle nnd com
mon sacrifice we shall have a common
triumph and a common brotherhood,
which will be the surest guarantee of
peace on earth and goodwill nmong men
of all races, creeds and nationalities to
the end of time."
Hhlpa Only Frnlilfni
Mr. Hoover said that the only prob
lem now was that of ships and that that
problem had been helped greatly by the
solution of the food problem, adding:
"I am happy to say that food supplies
are assured for the period of the war, and
I do not think It necessary to estimate
for more than two years hence. In less
than two years the result will he vie.
