BRITISH AIRMEn FLY
Low; TAKE BIG RISKS
Germans Make night attacks,
Avoiding Day Flights.

With the British Armies in the
Field, Aug. 21.-British airmen began
to get lonesome, not finding antagor-
lists in the air for battle and took 10
joining the Tommies in actual as
saults on German infantry.
Scores of these encounters were re-
ported. The British fiers would sweep
along, barely Swimming the ground,
seeking out and spraying fire or cley-
erly placed German machine guns and
their crews. Again, they would scurry
along just back of German trenches,
backing up with lines of fire the from
tai assaults of British infantrymen.
The Germans are apparently fol-
lowing out well-defned policy in
avoiding battle in the air. They are
apparently seeking to conserve all
their aerial forces, reserving this
branch of warfare for night attack.
Every night now sees strong Ger
man raids from the air. Early in the
day, while it was still dark, the Prus-
SLAMS bombed unfortunately a, num-
Der of points behind the British lines.
AS many as thirty planes were seen
In one of these marauding excursions.
Reports showed that atv1east one
hospital had been damaged by the
German bombs.

What made all this seem thrilling, in

scope. One of the English non-coms has
q very fine instrument that picks up a
black speck and shows that 1t Is equipped
with arms, legs and carries gun. The
observer stands safely in q trench with
his head below the top, while the peri
scope exposes only a little opening
through which the whole battle picture
Is revealed.
AT one time the ''wave" came on toward

picked out the faces and showed the
flashing eyes. The effect was Ike look

Firemen at Camp Meade have the long

They have to be continually on the job.
When entertainments take place or there
is something special going on In camp
they have, to content themselves as best
they can at their posts. Last week an
entertainment at the z. N. c. A. audi
forum appealed 70 the men at the head
quarters department. There are twelve
men at this station, and it was finally de-
'cided that six Of them could leave for the
evenings enjoyment. How to select the
six without causing hard feeling was the
question. Then Sergt. O'Dea hit upon q
solution. He got twelve straws, and had
the men draw them Those drawing the
short straws were the favored ones. 1.-THE
