UNCLE SANS BOYS
IN BOMBING RAID
L. =. FILTERS ALSO DOING OBsERs
WALTON DUTY ON WAR
FRONT.

With the American Army n
France, Nov. 13.--American army ay-
iators have participated in bombing
raids over Germany and have been
doing observation duty at various
points on the battle line.
The aviators are officers of the
regular army, some of whom had
been flying before the United States
entered the war. Others of them
are men who have been on duty at
training centers.
On the bombing raids the Ameri
cans have been carried in French
planes as bombers and observers and
have been gaining a wealth of ex-
perience, which in the future will as
sist them, as well as the new MEM
bers of the air service who are ar
irving or are to arrive.
Some of the Americans we're in
several recent raids in which bombs
were dropped on German positions of
work the Americans have been act
ing both as observers and pilots, fly
ing in French machines. This work
has been done at many points. but
none of the machines carrying Amer
lean aviators has flown over the Sec
tor where the American troops are
entrenched.
Numbers OF French machines have
been turned over to the Americans
for their own use, but thus far none
of them has been engaged in aerial
fighting of Importance. No casual
ties among the American airmen have
been reported, although enemy air
planes have fired heavily upon them.
The allied officers are enthusiast
tic over the work of the young flyers
and are of the unanimous opinion
that they are combining the daring
of the British flyers and the techni-
que of the French airmen. All the
operations in which the Americans
took part have in measure been IN
the nature of instruction.
The second American detachment
to enter the trenches have re-
turned to their billets. The relief
was accomplished successfully and
without the knowledge of the Ger
mans. The third series of battalions
now is occupying the first line. hav-
ing marched in on brilliant star
light night.
Among the returned troops is the
company which bore the brunt of the
raid on the trenches by German
shock troops. The battalions in the
trenches had good taste OF she'll
fire during the first hours. the Ger
mans using their artillery more heaS-
lily than usual and continued steadily
ard the American batteries replying
onergetically.
There has been active patrolling
in No Mans Land by the Americans
and the enemy. but no clash between
patrols has so far been reported.

THE BOYS At CAMP
ZACHARY TAYLOR

For a long time Ohio county's in
tense interest in war matters center
ed in Company II, OF the National
Guards. This Company. which was
for years a local military organiza-
ton, will never lose its place in the
hearts OF Ohio county people, even
though disorganized and doing its
part in the various units of the great
army of the United States. AT pres
ent, however, there is much interest
in Ohio county centered in Co. Is,
1886 Infantry, a unit of the great Ma
tional Army at Camp Taylor. IL Is
this company that contains the bulk
of the county's quota of the National
Selcctive Draft Army Ohio county
citizens read with much interest of
the first grand review of the 10000
men at Camp Taylor on last Satur-
day. Commenting on this review the
Louisville Herald says:
1.-THE review was an impressive
sight. A great silk American nag
waved at the head OF the division.
with handsome banners leading eacn
regiment and battalion. Every man
was in full fighting array, gun on
shoulder and bayonet dangling at
the hip. Every officer carried his
full field equipment"
1t will he noted from the above
quotation that the soldiers are nov
equipped with uniform and furnish
ed with rifle and bayonet and other
equipments of war. The Govern
ment has lately made a ruling, pro-
viding for the care of such persons
as are dependent upon the soldiers in
camp for their support. certain
amount of money is allotted to a
soldiers wife. or child, or father or
mother, or other person depending
upon him for support.
In view of the fact that these sol
diers are now equipped for war and
have had a good deal of training AT
such tremendous expense, 1t is
thought by many citizens that il VIII
be practically impossible to secure
any more discharges or exemptions
of soldiers who have already been
sent to camp.

MCLEAN CIRCUIT COURT.

Calhoun, KY, Nov. 15.--The first
case called for trial in the Mclean
Circuit Court, after Judge Slack had
completed the empanneling of the
grand jury, was the case of Common
wealth VS.. Mans Gibson, charged with
the murder of Arthur Hayden. Both
sides announced ready for trial
promptly, and the empanneling OF
the trial jury was at once begun.
The case has heretofore been tried,
hung jury having resulted, and
this fact together with the promi-
hence of the parties, occasioning
much notoriety, made it very difficult
to procure veniremen, qualified for
service as jurors, and not until three
O'Clock Tuesday afternoon, were
twelve men qualified jurors procur-
ed. There are sixty or more wit
ucsses TO be heard and it will take
the greater part of two days to COM
pletc the evidence.
Only a portion of the evidence for
the Commonwealth has been heard,
but enough has been procured to in
dictate that strong case against the
accused will be made out before the
evidence on behalf of the State is
closed.
This is the third murder case that
Commonwealth Attorney c. E. Smith
has conducted in the Mclean Circuit
Court since his induction into Of
fee.
