British Headquarters in France and
Belgium, Aug. 2.-The work done by
the British air service in Tuesdays Of
fensive has not been surpassed in ef-
ficiency and spectacular features since
the war began. More unfavorable
weather for aerial operations could
hardly have been selected. At dawn,
when the infantry advance began, the
whole country was blanketed by thick,
low-lying clouds, and by afternoon rain
had begun to fall.
Despite these tremendous disadvan-
tages, huge squadrons Of British
planes led the advance into the enemy
territory, and not only maintained con-
slant contact with their infantry, but
flying at such low altitude that tney
were often only few feet from the
ground, they carried on destructive
warfare with their machine guns.
Many fights occurred between the rival
pilots. but the Teutons were COM
pletely outclassed, both in numbers and
skill. and were forced 10 retire after
losing six machines.
The majority of these air battles were
at a height of 200 feet or less and IN
at least one instance the two opposing
pilots battled to within nifty ieet OF
The ground, at which height the GER
man side-sliped and crashed TO the
earth.
PLANES Under Constant Fire
The British planes were under con-
slant and heavy fire, particularly from
rifles and machine guns, owing 10 the
low altitude at which they were flying,
hut all through this hurricane OF lead
and steel all but three returned safely.
These are reported missing, and there
is no indication of what befell them.
Wonderful herolom was displayed by
the British airmen, who performed re-
markable deeds. One British aviator
crossed the Ypres salient just as the
infantry attack began at dawn. For
time he patrolled the roads and canals,
now nd then running the gauntlet OF
enemy fire at height of thirty feet, to
secure information for the guidance
Of the infantry. During this patrol
work he came on German airdrome.
Owing to the early hour only one
enemy was stirring outside the shed,
and he paused in his additions only
long enough to satisfy himself that the
'plane above him was one OF his own.
The British airman circled low and
dropped a bomb squarely on one OF the
sheds. This brought numbers of Ger
mans tumbling in panic from the
buildings. He turned his machine gun
on them, and, circling about the field,

his gun working steadily. The entire

devious ways to cover, leaving numbers

Attack From Sea,
Jellicoe Declares

London, Aug. 2.-The practical i'm
PROBABILITY Of the German submarine
and destroyer bases on the Belgian
coast to attack by sea forces was dwelt
on by Admiral Sir John R. Jellicoe,
First Sea Lord and Chief of the British
Naval Staff, in an interview with The
Associated Press yesterday. 1t is this
strip of Channel coast which the Ger
man General Staff has announced to be
the objective Of the present Anglo
French drive between Dixmude and
Warneton.
zone of these bases is Ostend," said
Admiral Jellicoe. 1.-THE other is Zee
brugge. The Germans have applied to
this length Of sand-fringed coast the
same principle Of intensive fertilization
adopted higher upon the North Sea
and the island of Heligoland. The
coastline is studded with heavy guns,
which in themselves constitute infin-
lteslmal targets at a range of more
than 10000 yards on which any bonn
bardment could be carried out.
Moreover, the enemy has not been
slow to make fullest use of aircraft
and smoke screens by way of protec-
ton. Ostend offers the best target,
but 1t can only be attacked at rare in
tervais, when a favorable combination
OF wind, weather and sea conditions
can De attained. Zeebrugge, in the real
sense of the word, is not naval base
but merely an exit from the inland
port Of Bruges, with which it Is con-
nected by wide deep-water canal
Ihere is little to hit at Zeebrugge.

glan. coast presents is not unsolvable."

miral Jellicoe declared that "the Brit
ish navy's control Of the nerve system
of maritime communications OF the
world at this juncture is more COM
plete than the control exercised by the
army of the Central Powers on land"
"You ask me how it is that German
destroyers are able to carry out raids
from time 10 time," continued the ad-
miral. "Such missions are intrusted to
the swiftest vessels under the German
ensign and are carried out with every
advantage on the side Of the Germans.
"The German destroyers wait FOR
dark and then dash off from one OF the
bases situated within an hour or two
of the British coast. They have the
choice Of an objective against coast
line of great length. There Is hardly
a point but is undefended. The enemy
has the choice Of nights when the
weather and visibility are most suitable
for its purpose. He puts to sea. Clear
of his mine field, he can steam in a
northerly, westerly or southern direc-
ton. Aircraft are used for reconnais-
sance so as to gain information OF the
movement of the British patrol forces.
The Germans have the further advan-
tage of being able to FIRE at every craft
which comes within sight the moment it
is sighted.
"The British patrols, on the other
hand, never know when the enemy ships
will break out or where they will speed,
and in the darkness they have to dis,
criminate between friend and neutral
and foe before they fire.
Despite the advantages the Germans
enjoy no raid has resulted il the slight-
est military gain to Germany or loss
to Great Britain. We deplore the loss
of life among non-combatants. but we
cannot defect our strategy from lie

Of how q large French liner twice mar
