 BERLIN, Nov. 1.-The war bulletin states that day before yesterday there were fought an unusual number of battles in the air on the western front.
 Airplanes were the vehicles from which the fighting was done and bombs. rifles, and specially mounted machine guns were the weapons used.
 Most spectacular was the maneuv- ering and daring were tho exploits of the bird men as they engaged the enemy singly or in groups or went rushing to the aid of hard pressed conrad ship.
 Tho action Is described as a gen. eral air battle which means that the air craft were fighting at many places along the front. Several hun dred planes were in the air on each side though all did not engage In the fighting. About one hundred dis tinct fights took place.

 The reports from Juneau are confus- ing. X recent dispatch from that | cc gives Sulzer 2.226 and Wicker sham only 1,745. Against this Is the Nuggets dispatch from the Juneau Empire which gave Wickersham 1901 with only 15 precincts yet to be heard from. It is hard tor understand how any additional returns set Wick back from 1901 to 1,745.
 And furthermore it is no cinch that the remote vote in the first division Is for Sulzer as he Is not so very popular with the fishermen down that way. Ketehikan gave Wick n plur ality of S7 and Petersburg is likely to give him the bulk of It's vote.
 The outside camps in the fourth division are more than likely 10 favor Wickersham to the extent of 50 more.
 In all probability the returns from the Wade Hampton precinct which includes Fortuna Ledge and the Mar shall camps will settle the election. If anybody can tell how these camps have voted they can tell whether it k Sulzer or Wiekersham for deiegate.-
