London. Aug. 25.-In no branch of
the British army does personal initia-
tive count more than in the flying
corps. In no branch OF the service
has it been more encouraged. The
British pilot held the German in check
by sheer inherent manpower when
machine supremacy was undeniably
with the Germans. Now that this SUI
premacy has been neutralized by the
increasing effectiveness Of the British
aeroplane. British pilots are given
greater liberty of action still, and
many Of them act in what might be
called free lance" capacity says a
British official statement.
One OF those rowing airmeu was

ing with no other purpose than that Of
sending to destruction any hostile
plane which he might chance to meet,
when the singular scarcity of possible
opponents decided him to push further
