BRITISH HEADQUA ARTERS IN FRANCE June g (via London. June lGl--The manner in which the British flying corps dominated the air during the battle of Messines ridge on Thurs day and completely smOthered the German aViatOrs' service for the time being. is one of the most thrilling and remarkable stories of the entire war
 Hundreds of British planes were well behind the German lines when the bat lie broke into it's fury at dawn. They had stolen over during the darker in tervals of the brief night when the moon was hidden by storm clouds. Other hundreds went alOft- with the first faint streaks of coming day ana guided by the flashes of the guns, flew into the thick of the fighting.
 During the night British machines bombed enemy railway stations, trains, ammunition dumps and troops coming up on the march. Others hovered above German airdromes and circled low among airplane sheds and fired hundreds of rounds from machine guns into them and prevented the enemy machines from coming out. Later in the day while the fighting was most intense British airmen dropped about three tons of bombs on the German flying grounds as a further deterrent. which proved highly effective.
 In addition to shutting the German alrmen out of any early participation in the battle, the British airplanes were in a large degree responsible for the fact that the Germans could not .aunch counter attack of appreciable

strength until forty hours after the battle for the ridge began and every bit of ground desired by the British in this particular operation had been taken and secured.
 Far back of the German lines the British planes searched out troops in every hamlet, town and village. In several places they saw them gather ing or marching in the main streets, whereupon they flew down low at times and opened fire which scat
 tered the Germans in all directions 1 All pilots report that their accurate 1 fire had a most demoraliZing effect | upon the hostile troops. Conveys and
 ammunition and supply columns were attacked while on the march and the disorganiZed men left their teams and automobiles on the roads while they
 sought shelter in nearby ditches.
 Airplanes attacked troops in the
 support trenches and sent them scur- rying to the cover of their dugouts i One pilot made so many of these at
 tacks that he finally ran out of ann
 munition, but he delivered his last stroke by letting go his signal rockets at a platoon of soldiers who, evidently
 mistaking this for particularly hor- | rible new style of war frightfulness | fled in all directions. German troops were fired upon in the more distant
 back areas as they were entra1ning fol
 the front Many of the enemy retreat ing from the British attack and hiding in shellholes were seen by the low
 flying airmen and pelted with bullets
 One British pilot patrolled a road for half an hour before he saw any 1lT l military automobile with three of ficers sitting in the back seat came along. The Britishers dived at then
 from q heighth of 300 feet, firing as they came. He flew so low even tuaily that the wheels of his undel carriage barely missed the automo- bile which swerved into a ditch go- ing at forty miles an hour and crashed into a tree.
 1 This same polit later came across ar active field battery and charged it, scat tering the gun crew and hitting a nun Der of them. Still farther along he at 1 tackled a column of Germans marching
 in fours The column broke when ht opened fire, scattering to both sides o1
 the road. At no time during his stay inside the German lines was this pilo more than 500 feet from the ground. i, Large numbers of British machine:
 were on constant patro lwork, flying lew over the advancing lines of in ! fantry, constantly watching thell movements, their progress, any tenn porary reverse, any attempt to form
 counter attacks, and all the while send ing QetalIed reports back to corps anC army headquarters. The infantry com manders said it gave their men grea comfort and great sense of protec'
 ton to have their planes flying so con-
 fidently just above them and eXchang' i ing signals with them.
 Of the fourteen planes lost during the day of the battle, a majority were
 these contact machines. They had te i fly through frightful storm of then i own as well as the enemys artillery fire, and they succumbed to chance
 blows from these exploding missiles.
 Lote on the day of the battle, when

 Too Much for Kangaroo
 For once, and the first time, the Kangaroo court exercising jurisdiction in and for the Maricopa county jail is "buffaloed" to use an expression formu- lated by the late Henry James. About , o'clock yesterday it's jurisdiction was suspended and the sheriff, the judge and other officials of the court sat or stood mute and full of awe in the face of the new order of things. That was when the 37 Russian colonists, who had steadfastly refused to register, were turned into the jail
 They constituted a pretty husky looking body of young men and there was apprehension on the part of the court that they might act in concert. Nor did the court know whether their policy of non-resistance and pacificism would stand test that might be ap- piled to it in the jail. It was one thing to refuse to go to war or to register to % to war. and another to knock out a Kangaroo court. The court had no as surance that any reference had been made to the Molokans about Kangaroo

mankind must no longer be a fair but empty phrase; it must be given structure of force and reality. The nations must realize their common life and effect a workable partnership to secure that life against the aggressions Of autocratic and self-pleasing power.
 For these things we can afford to pour our blood and treasure. For these are the things we have always professed to desire, and unless we pour out blood and treasure now and sue ceed, we may never be able to unite or snow conquerIng force again in the "reat cause of human liberty.

 There has been little military activ- ity along the Russian front. but the Germans have been busy in other ways, for PetrOgrad reports a wireless mes sage sent to the Russian armier by the German commander in chief on the eastern front in an attempt to inveigle them into an armistice and secret ne- @otiations with the German leaders.

 The first thing the Russians did when they were turned in was to con- tinue the religious exercises which had taken place in the superior court room just after the 37 were arrested. They marched around the corridor surround ing the cells and chanted and danced interminably. Ong Kee, the high binder, hatchetman and gunman, who has been held for the murder of d coUntryman in Chinatown, took his place between two of the Russians and marched with them also chanting and dancing. This uproar was kept up until half past seven when the chant ended with a long wall by one of the celebrants.
