The boy reeled, and his mother threw

One glance was sufficient to reveal the

Two hours later a pale, sick boy
stood before Justice Morgan l.. Ryan IN
the Queens Children's Court and en-
deavored to explain why he had at

PAt.s. May 26.-In one Of the hottest
Of aerial battles American pilots hung
three German machines to their belts
last Wednesday morning. and, although
several slight wounds were received,
the honors earned well repaid the
damage.
An Official communique this morning
announced that Fokker was brought
down near Naux and two Aviatiks in
the region of Etsin by our pilots. Our
pilots" m this case were Americans OF
tho American oscadrille.
At dawn Wednesday morning two Of
the number, William Thsw and Kitten
Rockwell. mounted on patrol duty in
their baby Neuports. They sighted
.wo German machines, a Fokker and
IN Avictik, and went to engage them.
Lieutenant Thaw. in the lead, rose to
a height above the Fokker. slowed
down his motor and then dived at him.
But soon the Avistik was using the
same tactics on him. Lieutenant Rock
we'll was soon on the spot, and at
tackeC the Aviatik, shielding Thaw and
drivinc the German TO the shelter OF
the German guns.
Meanwhile Thaw slipped up within
forty feet Of the Fokker, got his sights
on the German pilot and pressed the
lever releasing his mitrsilleuse. Dur
ing the very first rip Of the gun, in
which about ten shots resounded. the
Fokker fell. The Aviatiks mentioned
in the communique were brought down
in later battle.

contingent went up at $3.50 with the
French fleet and flew over the German
lines 70 ward off German observers,

Of German machines greatly outnum-

What followed was not q duel, but
battle fought near the ground. The
machines were never moro than 1000
feet up. Sometimes an American was
assailed from above and from four
sides at once. and although the mitrail-
leuses rsined on him in each instance
he escaped.

London. May 26 The British gov
crnment thoroughly realizes the impa-

fences due to the delay of their letters

passinc between the United states and
European neutrals. For months the
British government has been bending
it's efforts toward perfecting the system
of handling mails. and the very tact
that 80 few individual complaints have
been received recently satisfies 1T that
though the system is still imperfect it
has been immensely improved.

handling of mail until the margin OF

Lord Robert Cecil at the Foreign
Office to-day gave me more facts show
ing the magnitude Of the work and fur
tn reasons why the British consider
the censorship so essential.
THE mails between neutrals, ne

cbandise. Only six weeks ago IN the
