reached the bloodstained streets OF
the hamlet once more.
Germans Hurled Back
No more grim tragedy has been en-
acted since the war began than was
staged among the ruins of Bourbon
village last night. It's finish found
the shattered German forces outside
the village boundary but still full OF
determination. Several times through
the night they reformed and swept
forward against the village, but each
time were hurled back with heavy
losses.
The village of Fontaine Notre
Dame, between Bourbon wood and
Cambria, was still in German hands
to-day. This shattered hamlet, how
ever, was giving the British no cause
for worry and at the latest reports
they were ignoring it and continuing
to push ahead on the northwest side.
The work of British airplanes dur
ing the present offensive forms a
graphic chapter IN itself. Despite the
vile weather which compelled them
to operate within a few feet of the
ground, they keep steadily at their
task.
Battle With Airmcn
There have been almost continual
battles between German infantry and
British airmen flying thirty feet
above the ground. Never before was
this kind of warfare carried out on
such a large scale. Pilots have at
tackled infantry and gun crews wher-
ever they encountered them and had
inflicted heavy casualties on the
enemy with bombs and machine guns.
Naturally many of the airmen had
miraculous escapes from death and
some, of course, have paid the full
price and have gone to swell the toll
Of brave men who have given their
lives for their king and their coun-
try. Among the hairbreadth escapes
reported is that of an aviator whose
machine was torn to pieces while he
was fighting German infantry with
his machine gun. He was caught in
the shellfire and all the wings of his
machine were shot away.
Fortunately he. was flying only
twenty or thirty feet above the
ground and close to his own lines.
He crashed in No Mans Land and
found himself unhurt. He immedi-
ately came under rifle and machine
gun fire but he found a German rife
with some ammunition and engaged
the enemy single-handed. AS he
fred he worked his way back until
he reached one of his own patrols.
There is not much humor in fight
ing of this nature, but one incident
occurred which is making the whole
British air service laugh to-day. One
OF the youngest British airmen was
flying low when four enemy machine
guns opened fire on him. He shot
three of his opponents as he swept
by. The fourth machine gun kept
firing and IN spirit of buoyant mis-
chief laid over the side of his car
and wriggled his fingers in joyous
derision at the German. Just as he
was in the midst of this interesting
performance his opponent put bull
let squarely through the palm of the
airman's open hand.
The aviator presented himselS at
dressing station and when queried
admitted the truth with crestfallen
face. His consolation for his wound
was roars of laughter and advice to
be more polite to a Boche in the
future.
