They Are Credited With Daring
And Technique BY Allied
Officers

With the American Army in France
Nov. 14.-Aviators from the American
army have participated in bombing
raids over Germany and have been do
ing observation duty at various points
on the battle line. These aviators are
officers of the regular army, some OF
whom had been flying before the
United States entered the war. Others
of them are men who have been on
duty at training centers.
Carried in French Machines.
On the bombing raids the Ameri.
cans have been carried in French
planes as bombers and observers and
have been gaining a wealth of expe-
rience, which in the future will assist
them, as well as the new members OF
the air service, who are arriving or
are to arrive.
Some of the Americans were in
several recent raids in which bombs
were dropped on German positions of
military Importance. In observation
work the Americans have been acting
both as observers and pilots, flying in
French machines. This work has
been done at many points, but none
of the machines carrying American
aviators has flown over the sector
where the American troops are in
trenched
No Casualties of U. S. Men.
Numbers of French machines have
been turned over to the Americans
for their own use.
No casualties among the American
airmen have been reported, although
enemy airplanes have fired heavily
upon them.
The allied officers are enthusiastic
over the work of the young fliers
and are of the unanimous opinion that
they are combining the daring of the
British flyers and the technique of the
French airInen. All the operations
in which the Americans took part
have in a measure been in the nature
of instructions.

Attempt to Retake Territory

ORDERS OF HINDENBURG
They Could Not Be Carried Out,
Although Effort Was
Made
UNITED Press D'sparch.1

London, Eng, November 14.-Field
Marshal Hindenburg has issued or
ders that Passchandaele and the
ridge that it dominates be retaken
by the Germans at all costs. That
ridge dominates the whole plain
reaching TO Roulers, just a few miles
further on, which is on the main line
of railway whereby the Germans
marine bases on the Belgian coast.
Advance of the British.
The advance of the British in the
direction of Roulers not only threat
ems to cut off the Germans from the
submarine bases, but also threatens
to cut off German forces along the
Belgian seaboard altogether from the
main body of the German army.
Therefore, if General Haig, can con-
tinue to pierce the German lines
successfully in the some direction in
which he has been going, it may
mean the forced evacuation of Bel
gium from the coast back east be-
yond Roulers.
Efforts Were In Vain.
London, Eng, November 14.-Crown
Prince Rupprecht early today vainly
attempted to carry out the orders OF
Field Marshal Hindenburg to retake
Passchendeale or at least to loosen
the British hold on that position.
The attempt of the Germans met
with decisive repulse under the
British artillery fire, General Haig
reported. ...

London, Eng, November 14.-Ihe
Teutonic army seems to have gained
the first advantage in the fighting
along the Piave. At Zemson the Teu-
tons managed to effect a crossing, but
the counter-attack by the Italians

Venice is now twenty miles away
from the Teutons, and only one nat
ural barrier stands between the Piave
and the ancient city of the Doges.

Mankato Contributed Literally To-

Jewish people are apparently
among the most generous American
patriots, and reports show them to
be very responsive to all calls of
the government and philanthropic
movements. They have subscribed to
Americas calls, and in addition have
subscribed literally to other worthy
projects. The fastest issue of The
New York Times contains list of
subscriptions for the relief of suffer-
ing Jews, and the name of Mankato
stands among the highest, the Jews
of this city having contributed
$1,046 for the cause.

With the American Army in France.
Nov. 14.-American soldiers are rap.
idly becoming expert at patrol work
and their officers say they carry on in
No Mans Land as if they had been at
it for years. This is explained partly
by the fact that activity in No Mans
Land along the sector held by the
Americans virtually is open warfare,
which is distinctly an American game.
Already stories of the heroism OF
individual soldiers during trench
raids are coming to light.
