Paris Anxious Over Outcome of AL
SAGE Campaign as Germans Hurl
New Troops Into Conflict.

Paris, jan, J2-Mastery OF the
air is the prize for which the opos-
ing armies in France and Belgium
are now contending. Even the furi-
Gus battles along the Aisne and in
Alsace and the struggle in Poland
are attracting comparatively little at
tention from military experts here,
while all eyes are centered on a
series of desperate battles in the air
that are being waged along the en-
tire battle fronts in France and Bel
gium.
Both sides are devoting themselves
to aerial activity as never before
and more aviatorS and aer0planes
have been lost in the last ten days
than in any similar period of the
war. Duels aloft such as occurred
earlier in the war, are giving way
to actions between sQuadrons Of
hostile air craft, many Of which are
armored and carry light machine
guns.
Aviators on both sides are freely
sacrificing their lives in efforts to
gain supremacy that will go Il
long way toward breaking the long
deadlock between the million of men
on the battle fronts.
