Fantastic Flyers
of German Forces
Astound British


With the British Armies in France,
May 14.-Fighting in the air has tax
en- on a new interest recently because
Of the new German policy of painting
their machines grotesque patterns
They got. this idea from the American
Indian custom of painting their faces
to frightenh their opponents, or else
the spring fancies of the German air
men have been allowed to run riot.
Each day British pilots bring home
new reports of fantastic creations en-
countered amid the clouds. The gay
est feathered songsters cannot hope
to rival the hues Or the Harlequin
birds that rise daily from German
airdromes.
The coming of this order of things
was first. heralded by a squadron of
scarlet German airplanes, met ten or
twelve days ago. It was not noticed
then that some of the German ma
chimes were striped about the body
like yellow Jackets.
Now there are green airplanes with
yellow noses, silver ones with gold
noses, khaki-colored ones with green
ish gray wings, airplanes with red
bodies, green wings, and yellow
stripes, airp1anes with red body and

In for red body effects, with every
possible combination of colors on
their wings. Some have one green
wing and one white, while others
have green wings tipped with var
ious colors.
One of the most fantastic met had
a scarlet body, brown tail, reddish
brown wings, with white Maltese
crosses against a bright green back
ground. One machine looked like
pear flying through the air. 1t had a
pear-shaped tail and was painted
ruddy brown, like ripe fruit.
Just as German resistance has been
strengthened on the land so it has
been in the air. They have sent aloft
hundreds of new machines to contest
for the mastery of the air.
The best evidence of the way the
air battles are going is the fact that
practically all take place miles over
the German lines. At times the Ger
man a1rplanes come over on recon-
noissance work, which they attempt
to carry out at a height of $4,000 feet
or more. It is the rarest thing, how
ever, that fights are seen on the Bri-
fish side of the line.
So it is with bombing raids, also.
Last night German machines dropped
three bombs naar a railway station in
the British lines, but in one of half
a score of raids carried out by the
British fifty-six big bombs were drop
ped on one German encampment. A
tremendous ammunition dump was
1 blown up, the explosion being so ter

even the German officers in Alsace

outpost villages are now glad to OBJ

Until a few months ago the German
officers, unlike the men on the from
tier who are always hungry, pretend

pale faces belied the statement Now
they admit that decent food is lacking
and their Swiss officer comrades
