British Headquarters in France and
Belgium.-The work done by the Brit
ish air service in the recent offensive
in Flanders has not been surpassed In
efficiency and spectacular features
since the war began.
Many fights occurred between the
rival pilots, but the Teutons were com
pletely outclassed, both in numbers
and skill, and were forced to retire at
most points after losing six machines.
The majority of these air battles
were at a height Of 200 feet or less,
and in at least one instance the two
opposing pilots battled to within fifty
feet Of the ground, at which height the
German sidestepped and crashed to
the earth.
The British planes were under con-
slant and heavy fire, particularly from
rifles and machine guns, owing to the
low altitude at which they were flying,
but through all this hurricane OF lead
and steel all but three came safely.
These are reported missing, and there

CYCLING FAD BEING REVIVED
Many Persons Who Had Forgotten All
About Bicycles Have Taken to
Riding Them Again.

There has come fad for bicycling
again. Not very full-grown fad, to
be sure, but still a good many persons
who had forgotten all about bicycles
or else hardly knew Of them have
taken to riding them.
And 1t Is rather interesting to note
comment that was made some 20
years ago, when we took up bicycling
SO very seriously. 1t was this: That
bicycling has done as much harm to
the habit of good reading as it had
done good to the health of bicyclers.
Nowadays there are so many other
things to blame for our loss of the
habit Of good reading. The moving
pictures, of course, come in for their
share Of blame. And then all our out
door sports must also take the time
that we might otherwise feel disposed
to devote to reading. Perhaps If we
could 60 back to the mid-Victorian
habits Of women, before outdoor sports
were the fashion, we should do much
more substantial reading. Perhaps not.
Perhaps we have learned to do more
things than we used to do and per-
haps we are better read today than we
used to be.
1t would take good deal Of care
fui work to find out.-Exchange.

is no indication of what befell them.
Wonderful heroism was displayed
| by the British airnen, who performed
remarkable deeds. One typical in
stance will indicate the nature of the
important work they carried out. A
British aviator crossed the Ypres sa-
lient just as the infantry attack be-
gan at dawn.
One Man Attacks Force.
For time he patrolled the roads
and canals, now and then running the
gantlet of enemy fire at height OF
thirty feet in order to obtain infOr-
nation for the guidance of the infan-
try in their advance. During this pa
troll work he came to a German air
drOme. Owing to the early hour only
one enemy was stirring outside the
shed, and he paused in his additions
only long enough to satisfy himself
that the plane above him evidently
was one of his own.
The British airman circled low and
dropped bomb squarely on one Of the
sheds. This brought numbers of Ger
mans tumbling In a panic from the
buildings. He turned his machine gun
on them, and, circling about the field,
bombed two other sheds with disas-
trous effect. All the time he kept up
a steady stream of machine-gun fire
at the Germans, a number Of whom
were killed or wounded.
Alone Disnerses o00 Men
The Germans finally gCs machine
gun into action against him, but he
dived and at twenty feet silenced 1t
with his own gun. Having put their
gun out of action, he circled the field,
firing with his machine gun through |
the doors of buildings at the huddled
enemy within. At one time his ma
chine actually touched the ground.
Leaving the airdrome, the British
aviator attacked two German mounted
officers and put them to flight. A
little later he encountered column
If 200 troops and swept along the line,
With his gun working steadily. The
entire column was dispersed and fed
~ devious ways to cover, leaving
numbers Of their comrades lying in
he road.
Two German battle planes appeared
N the scene and the Briton engaged
hem both, sending one to earth and
'utting the other to flight. He pur-
ued the fleeing plane, but it was soon
ost in the clouds.
Pumps Lead Into Troop Train.
In the meantime large body Of Ger
IAN soldiers had gathered around the
lachine which had been brought
own. The British flying man came
back from the mists in
hitch he had hidden and accounted
Dr. several Of their number with his
lachine gun.
His next objective was troop train.
