WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES IN THE
FIELD, Aug. 3.
An eighteen -year-old war baby" making
his first flight alone over enemy territory
was awarded the palm today among Eng
lands airmen for sheer audacity in the
amazing list Of aerial exploits heralding the
opening of the Flanders offensive.
The youngster swept far over the enemy
territory and then swooped back, flying
within a few feet Of the ground. He spied a
detachment of German infantry crossing a
bridge and promptly let lose with his ma
chine gun. Utterly dsregardlng the hall OF
rife fire. he circled back and forth, barely
over their heads, his machine gun rattlng
away. He saw four five corpses before
the Germans gave way and sought shelter
in nearby ditches The airman swooped
around a little more, found his quarry too
we'll covered up and then winged blithely
on his way.
Next he swoopcd over an open motorcar
on a wide road, letting loose his machine
gun fire at an officer In the tonneau. The
machine turned into a side road and Its
driver opened wide the Throttle. The Of
ficer turned against his adversary a few
feet aloft. and began firing with his auto
matte revolver.
The "war baby" felt he couldn't be so
unsportsmanlike as to return the German
officers feeble pistol fire with his machine
gun, he stopped the latter ard from the
air staged revolver duel with the flying
enemy Suddenly the automobile was jam
med to a stop. The British plane, fifty
feet above and twenty-five feet behind,
could not stop. but the aviator hurriedly
circled back. Then he saw his adversary

Nearly all the aerial fighting on the day
Of aviation wonders, of which the foregoing
was just an incident, was at attitudes of
less than 200 feet. The clouds hung so low
that such flying had to be at this level II
the aviators expected to see anything One
fight close to the frst-ine trenches began
at 200 feet aloft and ended at fifty, when
the Brtisher forced the German to turn

WILSON URGED TO GIVE
AMERICAS WAR AIMS
NEW YORK Aug z

NEW 1ofth, Aug. 3.
The feeling is growing in England that
President Wilson might clarity peace dis
cussions by n "clean-cut declaration Of
American policy" the London correspond
ent of the New York Tribune reported to-
day.
"T'he day of Dragging and boasting has
passed" cabed the Tribune correspondent,
and the statesmen on both sides are trying
to let the people see where they are. In the
last two months conditions have changed
profoundly, and the future outlook is COM
pletely altered.
America. flushed with enthusiasm and
rightly engrossed with preparation for a
long war, Is in danger Of falling out Of touch
with shifting sentiment on this side unless
she follows the political and diplomatic
maneuvering with the same interests she
devotes to developments on the field of bat
tie.
From various sides have heard the sue
gestlon that what Is greatly needed now is a
clean-cut declaration OF American policy bv
president Wilson. He IL urged to state a.
definitely as possible what are Americas a
aims. His voice would command attention
above all others, and his declaration would
carry influence with the Central Powers as
well as with the Entente. Indicting states.
men FOR starting the war does not interest
the people half so much as declarations of
the terms on which the nation is ready 10
stop the strife" ~

All Flanders was quagmire today
The battlefield was lost IN -og. Water
seeped down from the skies an1 seeped up
from the soaked ground Even the guns
seemed engulfed in mud. Their fire was
noticeably less violent than on Tuesday
British officers and men are united in
high praise of American surgical units now
operating on the battlefield Each is COM
posed as a surgeon, an anesthetist nurse
and an orderly. A number have been
working constantly under fire. All carry
regulation gas masks.
Some major operations have been per.
formed by these units while the surgeon,
patient, nurse and attendants all wore these
fantastic gas masks.
