BATTLE OF SKY FLEETS
GIVES BRITISH VICTORY
Twelve of Haig's Filters Rout
20 Foes; Land Lull UnbrOken

London, Nov. 24.-Except for recip-
rocal artillery bombardments, the lIll
on the West front was not broken to-
day. Though Berlin announces that
several attacks were made by the Brit
ish north Of the Ancre, the War Office
makes no mention of any infantry fight
ing. German trenches were raided AZ
different noints by both the British
and the French, but there were 40
large scale operations.
With the resumption of fair weather
the air forces OF both sides have be-
come extremely active. French fliers
fought more than forty battles over
the Somme front alone during the day
in the course of which FIVE German
machines were destroyed. Allied air
men on other fronts accounted for
eight more hostile planes, while the
Germans brought down three British
machines.
The most notable feat was accom-
plished by a squadron of twelve Brit
ish aeros, which routed twenty of the
enemy's craft in pitched battle. The
Germans lost several machines, while
the British came out OF the furious en-
gagement unscathed.
French squadrons delivered attacks
on enemy encampments and on the fa:.
tories in the Ssrre region OF Germany
returning safely after scoring several
hits. ub-Lieutenant George Guyne-
mer. known as the French Boelke, has
brought down his twenty-third ma.
chine, Paris announces.

London, Nov. 24.-The Greek Royal

the government at Athens that unless

given he will use force, says an Elk

London, Nov. 24.-The Serbs and
their allies continue to advance along
the line north of Monastir. Breaking

shall, however. at this place not discuss
the theoretical aspects Of the PROB

of the conclusion of peace from the
point of view of facts define our po-
sition with regard TO this question.
When at and after the end of the war
the world will become fully conscious
of its horrifying destruction OF .ife and
property, then through the whole OF
mankind will ring cry for peaceful
arrangements and understandings
which, as far as lies in human power,
shall avoid the return of such mon
strous catastrophe.
"'This cry will be so powerful ana
so justified that il must lead 10 some
result. Germany will honestly coop
crate in the examination of every en-
deavor TO find q practical solution OF
the question and will collaborate 10
make its realization possible. This all
the more, II the war, as we expect ana
trust, will create political conditions
which do full justice TO the free devel-
opment of all nations the small ones
as well as the great nations. Then It
will be possible to realize the princi-
Piles of Justice and free development on
land and of the freedom of the seas.
"'The first condition for evolution
Of international relations by way OF
arbitration and peaceful compromise OF
conflicting interests should be that no
more aggressive coalitions are formed
in future. Germany will at all times

PALMER TELLS
GRAPHIC STORY
OF SOMME DRIVE
Greatest Battle of All Time
Says War Correspondent in
First Public Lecture

Frederick Palmer, fresh from the
battlefelds Of France, delivered his
first public lecture on "The Battles
of the Somme and Verdun' at Carne-
gle Hall last evening. Graphically he
described the preparations for the
big push" the carefully timed start
OF the offensive along a twenty-five
mile front, and added vivid pictures
of spectacular night bombardments
and daring trench raids.
"The battle of the Somme is the
greatest battle of all time" he said.
ut will go on until the war is finished.
1t makes no difference to the British
whether they drive their enemies back
ten miles or fifty miles they drive
them until they cannot withstand
their attacks any longer.

BY very wise old man." he sad
when Hindenburg went to Moscow

eral he wanted to take with him. Joifre
was his answer, ana Hindenburg is
also wise old man."
Most thrilling Of the many details OF
his experiences at the front which Mr..
Palmer told was the description of a
daylight charge on the German
trenches. He told how, at a certain
time, the British began their lombard
ment. dropping a curtain Of FIRE on the
German lines, so nicely calculated and
timed that the infantry, slowly ad-
vancing back Of il, reached its objective
at the exact moment IL was lifted and
dropped on the second line Of trenches.

prisoners and the calm way in which
British officers took their success.
Following his talk he showed official
French and English motion pictures OF
battle scenes. Some Of these have al
ready been seen in New York under the
title Of THE Battle OF the Somme,
but the best Of them, showing exactly
the sort Of charge Mr. Palmer had de
seribed in his lecture, we're new 70 this

Ally audience heard Mr. Palmer's talk.
