at Unusual Work; High

The Northern Pacific has SO far felt
time policy of centraliZing the work
of all the railways of the country under
a central committee of five railroad
presidents at Washington, says A. v.
Brown, general manager of the central
district of the Northern Pacific, who
was in Missoula yesterday from his
headquarters at Livingston on trip Of
inspection. Traffic is still moving in
much the same way as before the war,
although regulations prescribed by the
central committee as to precedent in
shipments are being carefully OBJ
served.
Business on the railroad has. been
very good for some time, he says, with
an especially heavy movement of
freight eastward. There is no con-
gestion of traffic and the shipments
are moving along well: He gives credit
to the employees of the road for their
CO. cooperation in handling the increased
volume of freight and passenger bus
mess. While most of the shipments are
for the east, there is more than normal
business within the state as there is
much building and construction work
going on in many of the cities.
The worst part of the high water
season is over, he thinks. While the
water is running high all over the
state, the most trouble has been ex-
perienced so far west of the divide.
The women workers who have been
employed in Missoula and Livingston
are doing most satisfactorily he says.
Mr.. Brown returned to Livingston

SpOndent Of the Associated Press)-
The recent lull in the fighting has had
no. effect whatever upon the British
aerial offensive, which continues day
and night with unrelenting intensity.
& In the last few days there have been
Witnessed some of the most desperate
air battles of the entire war One or
two Of these have been fought at the
unprecedented height Of $4,000 feet, or
moro than three and one half miles
from the earth.
Recently there was a duel in which
British pilot, having run out Of am
munition for his machine gun, got close
enough to his antagonist to shoot him
down with his revolver This incident
served to recall the fact that when the
war began the only weapon which aer-
ial pilots had were pistols and car
bines.
Speed Upward Essential.
Commenting today on the dazzling
altitude at which many combats oc-
cur nowadays. a pilot said that when
he first went to war in 1911, he flew

A notable feature of the air fight
ing in the last 10 days has been the
tendency of German machines to break
in pieces soon after being shot out OF
control.
The toll Of German planes destroyed
in May will mount far into the hun
dreds.
Describes Thriller.
One of the melecs on Sunday be
tween six British and eight German
machines was as thrilling as any aerial
battle ever fought 1t was at close
quarters throughout; so close in fact
that wings scraped against wings ana
fighting pilots could look each other
squarely in the eyes. No sooner would
British pilot swoop up to the tail of
one of the German machines than an
other German was on his tail. This
German in turn would almost immedi-
ately have another British pilot pour
ing bursts of machine gun bullets at
him. At one time seven machines were
fighting each other in headlong fash
ion toward the earth.
Spinning and diving, this remarkable
battle kept up until three Germans had
been shot down. The others having
fled, the British patrol reformed with
out a single casualty The pilot who
brought down "a machine with seven
shots from his automatic pistol al
ready had accounted for two other
Germans, making a record of three for
the day.
