Each day brings the war nearer

a naval battle off the Dutch coast,
in which British cruiser and four

reached the coast of Belgium. less
than seventy miles from Dover. They
are about to attempt Il march south

are even closer to the English coast.
1t is here, in West Flanders ana

According to the Ere nch official COM

chimes in warfare and a recital o.
thrilling aerial duels between French
and German machines.
One French corps commander is
quoted as having said that, in his
opinion, single aeroplane was as
valuable as a division of cavalry.

in preventing surprises, and few i'm

Gently between German monoplane
and French bipame at a critical mo-
mcut in the execution of an important
maneuver north Of the river Disc. The
German machine was seen sailing over
the French lines just before Il strong
detachment of troops was to start on a
movement to the north. For the sue
cess Of this movement it was vital that
this sentry of the air be removed, and
a French biplane undertook the task.
Hair Raising Dive.
The French machine rose from thu
ground abruptly and in rapid circles
gained an altitude greater than that
of the German, but even this advan-
tage was not sufficient to drive the
scout away. In a daring dive in which

lines the German descended to a height
of 1000 yards and, skillfully avoiding
the French machine, started to drive
for the German lines.
For awhile the German was success.

Frenchman. but the biplane, continu-
ing its flight at a considerable height
finally attained an Advantageous posi-
ton.
Then there could be heard the quick
and sharp reports Of a machine gun
