London wednesday,. Dec. 20
Aviation activities by the British
army air service were reported in an
official statement last night as fol-
lows:
Good work was done in the air
on Monday by Australian pilots. Two
of them who We're attacked by many
hostile scouts succeeded in bringing
down one of the enemys machines in
our lines and dispersed the re-

"On Tuesday a thick haze again
limited flying to the northern part OF
the front, where a great deal of ar
tillery Photographic work was done.
During the day over $50 bombs were
dropped on the enemy's railway sta
tons, sidings and trenches and many
rounds were fired from the air into
the trenches and billets.
Fighting in the air on this part
of the front was intense all day and
resulted greatly in our favor. Seven
hostile machines were brought down
by our airplanes and one was shot
down in our lines by anti-aircraft
gun fire and another by the fire of
our infantry. Three others were
driven down out of control Three
of our machines are missing"

French Writer Praises
American Aviation Camp
Constructed in France
BY Associated Press

Paris (Tuesday). Dec. 1s.-The
wonders of vast American training
camp for aviators in central France
are described enthusiastically in the
Petit Parisien by Paul Ginisty, who
has just visited the camp. With the
exception OF a few huts. he writes,
all the material was brought from
America. The work was begun in
September under the direction of 259
men, experts in various branches, and
the driving power which they are
putting into their tasks was evident
on every hand. From this camp fully
trained pilots will be sent to the
front. French aviators are there to
give the benefit of their experience.
The arrangements which have been
made for the comfort and entertain
NEXT of the American soldiers in all
the camps are praised by NJ. Ginisty,
who also was greatly impressed by
the highly developed administrative
organization which has been perfect
ed. He was especially struck by a
table at the aviation camp which re-
cords the progress of each pilot from
the time of his first flight until he is
performing acrobatic tricks in the
air.

the versions Of these songs published

Nine. Peterson belongs), introduced into

Zimbalist are those which wers print

entitled "Slave Songs OF the United
