 GERMAN AIRPLANES
Daring Displayed by British AYia- tors Surprises Even the Enemy

British Headquarters in France, May 4.-British airmen. taking full advantage of the long spell of good weather, are continuing their relent- less offensive aloft both by day and by night. Within three days they have accounted for 1fty-f1ve enemy machines and have carried out many enterprises behind the German lines. The German soldiers plainly dislike the continuous presence of the British airplanes, for many unposted letters captured during the infantry attacks dwell upon the uneaslness the ma chimes cause. One man wrote: The air activity is very great. The Eng lish will soon be taking the very caps. of our heads.''
 The daring of the British aviators in flying 50 low in the enemy's coun- try Is one of the striking phases Of the latter-day air tactics. During a recent night raid, with only the stars to guide them, the Britons swooped down upon their dfmly outlined tar gets and dropped their bombs. barely escaping themselves from the upward blast of the resulting explosions. During this raid the German de- lending their supply depots brought into play powerful searchlight, whereupon Britisher promptly flew at 1t like giant moth, let loose lightweight bomb directly over 1t, and | the lamp went out. to burn no more. The British air raids on dark nights bring out a great display of enemy l fireworks. for in addition to the gum fire and the bursting shrapnel shells 1 vari-colored rockets are sent missing ndiscriminately into the air. Just l now as the May moon Is approaching
 it's fulness and lights the nocturnal | way. the raiders go lover the line'' to
 upset enemy trains blow up enemy
 ammunition stores, roYt sleeping en-
 emy soldiers out of theif sbillets, throw
 enemy transport columns into endless
 confusion and scatter general de-
 moralization from the skies for hours

 Some of the best fighting the Brit
 ish have had recently has been with 2 flight of brilliant scarlet German
 machines. At alrst there were four of
 these in the flight and all were ham,

Charter Changes.

the pavement foundation insecure
This also does away with the penalty
of ten per cent provided for under
the present charter in case prop
erty owner does not do the work.
Change in Tax Penalties.
The amendment providing for q
penalty for non-payment of taxes on
time is also changed. At present a
total penalty of ten per cent is added
if the taxes are not paid and it is
necessary to place them on the next
general city roll. Under the amend
ment the total penalty will be five
per cent.
Another amendment gives the COM
mission power to assign the duties of
the several departments except as is
otherwise provided in the charter. No
member of the commission shall have
power to enter into any agreement
obligating the city in any way, with
out the authority Of the commission.
This change acts as check by the
commission as whole on the work
of each commissioner but is not of
such nature as to prevent each
commissioner having absolute charge
of bis department but in all large
undertakings the commission shall be
consulted before the work is under
taken.
BY the amendment of chapter
eight, section eight, the commission
is given the right to use the moneys
in the sinking fund to purchase
bonds of the city Of Owosso or spec
lal assessment bonds of the city of
Owosso and such purchase shall not
render such bonds so purchased dis
charged or void; provided that no
bond which natures at later date
han the date of the maturity of the
bond or bonds for which the sink
NC fund was provided shall be so
purchased, and provided further that
I'll bonds SO purchased must be pur-
hased at the par value of such bonds.
The Commission recommends this
'hange as a saving to the tax payers

These are the only two nights or

The equipment ordered by the asso-

practice will be started at once. A
call for candidates for the team was
issued and eleven men who have had
experience in the game responded.
Indoor tennis and handball will also
be played and there will be gymnas-
ium classes. DR.. G.. B. Powell has
rendered his services free as physical
instructor for this year, but if the
association fourishes as is is believed
it will, an instructor will be hired
next year.
Over one hundred members have
now been obtained for the association
and papers will be left with the heads
of the various factories in this city
that the men employed in the factor
les may join if they wish to.
The association seeks to centralize
athletics and to place them on a per-

for clean athletics. 1t is proposed to
take up all lines of athletics and

Washington, Aug. The British
French assault on the German sight
flank has made a profound impression
here because. in the Judgment OF many
American army ehcers It is directed at
the most vulnerable point on the en-
tire Gernaan front.
Complete success for the allies,
sweeping the German line back from
the sea along the entire Began
coast. would be an immediate answer
to the U-boat warfare. The main
North e aliases for U-boat operations
would be stamped out.
Reports Meagre.
Reports from London or the front
were still toe meagre tonight to dis
close the full scope of the new opera
tons. Some observers here were in
clined to believe that unless the drive
is SUPPLEMENTED by. naval co-operatten'
With a landing behind the present '"r-
man front, complete success is not tc
be expected. Many American ohcers
believe the German right flank offers
the only real opportunity to bring the
struggle to decisive issue in a single
campaign.
Short of that, they can feresee, only
a continuing repetition OF the deadly
business of frontal attack, whic1 i
time would wear down the German re-
sistanoe since the allied powers have
the greater resources in men and snn-
lies.
