Aviators Flew High.

With the Macedonian forces there were
seven French bipianes of one type, six
OF them having fifty-horsepower motors
and one an eighty. There was more eX-
tensive use made Of the high-power ma
chine than on any of the smaller types.
Lieut.. Camberos of the Greek staff made
most of the flights in this machine. He
made one trip of eighty-three miles
across country and brought back in
formation Of the greatest value. This
long flight was from Larissa to Cosani.
The aviators as a rule flew much higher
than has been thought would be neces-
sary in active service. No flights of i'm
portance were made at less than $500
feet. and one Of them averaged $3.50 feet.
This was Lieut.. Mautausis. who flew
from Preveza to Janina, a distance 'of
sixty-five miles Even at this height his
machine was struck several times by
small-arms fire, but beyond tearing the
fabric there was no damage. On this
fight he passed over bodies of Turkish
troops in the field and dropped several
bombs, doing, so far as could be OBJ
served. considerable damage and start

Play important Part in the
Balkan Contest.
More Trouble in Securing Aviators
Than Machines-Used More for
Scouting and Reconnaissance.

Aeroplanes have played more inn
portant part in the Balkan war than the
world at large has realized. The facts
are just beginning to come out through
the reports of some returned civilian avi-
ators who were at the front. One of the
big French aeroplane factories has issued
also a special circular on the performances
of its particular machines i'm the hands
of the allies. This is, of course, largely
All advertisement for the particular ma
chine, but until the report was issued the
American public had not even received
an intimation that. this particular type
of machine was being used.
The Balkan military authorities have
because it has been largely in the line
Of scouting and reconnaissance, which was
kept secret for military reasons. The
Turks. so far as can be learned, had no
machines in the service. and captured
only ono. which they were unable to util-
izc for lack of an aviator.
This same thing happened during the
Tripolitan campaign. when the Arabs cap
tured an Italian aviator who was forced
to land in their lines on account of motor
trouble. In this case he was received with
courteous curiosity, and explained the ma
chine up to the point of what was the
matter with the motor. OF course he was
unable to fix that, and he took good care
to remain unable so long as he was held
prisoner.

STOP CATARRH!
Unless Properly Treated With Hy
omei This Disease May Become
S-riouc

If you have catarrh, usually indicat-
ed by shifting, stopped up head, drop
pings in throat watery eyes, and morn
ing choking, there is an irritated state
of the mucous membrane which af-
fords an ideal condition for the grow
th of disease germs.
Do not allow the dangerous germs
which may be breathed into the nose,
throat and lungs to begin the destruc-
ton of your health.
The easiest, simplest, quickest, sur
est and cheapest way to check catarrh
Is by breathing Hyomei-all druggists
sell it. This wonderful medicated air
treatment does not upset the stomach,
but is breathed in through the Hyomei
inhaler, directly following and surely
destroying all disease germs that may
have been inhaled-the tissues of the
threat, nose and lungs are quickly
healed and vitalized.
The unusual way in which Hyomei
