statement on aviation activities:
yesterday there were a few fine in
tervals during which our airplanes OBJ
served for our artillery and fired sew
eral thousand rounds from their ma
chine guns at enemy troops in the

bombs were dropped on hostile billets
at Roulers and elsewhere during the
day and again at night. In air fighting
four hostile machines were driven
down and one was driven down out of
control. Two of our machines are
missing.
Last night ur machines again at
tackled the railway station and lines
around Saarbrucken (Rhenish Prus-
STA, northeast of Metz Germany

good effect. All our machines re-
turned, though the weather conditions
were exceptionally bad. This morning
at II o'clock twelve of our machine
went further afield and attacked the
munitions works and gas works at
Pirmasens, 20 miles beyond Saar
brucken. Bombs were seen to burst

Not anticipating any trouble but be-
lieving in preparedness, Chief Rawl-
ings Of the police department has is
sued orders for every supernumerary
policeman to report for duty this eve
ming at 7 o'clock. These, with their
flashy uniforms and bright buttons
and their mighty night clubs, will
chaperon the mysterious spooks and

brating Halloween this evening.
The old horse play way OF cele-
brating Halloween is gradually dying
out and no longer does the arm or
the law have to watch his step least

tings placed across the streets. Fire
men can even now be sure OF a good
nights sleep on Halloween without
getting up to answer a supposed fire
call which was merely false alarm
sent in by some celebrant.
Parties, dances and socials have
taken the place of the general roWdy-
ism that marked Halloween some
years ago. Several officers in plain
clothes will guard the boxes, fruit
stands and fences that might be easily
carried off as fuel for bonfires as a
matter Of preparedness.
A Halloween party will be held at
Booths hall tomorrow evening by the
Universal club of Landers, Frary &
Clark. A minstrel show and social
will be held this evening at st. John

Somewhere in France,

Somewhere in France,
august 27.
1--WE have a trip of about 20 miles
| and 1t had already taken us about 2
| hours. We are travelling in a troop
| train. The cars are small coal cars
with seats along the sides. It is very
cold and raining and we are soaked
through. Yesterday from Paris to
Barbecue we rode first class We
were supposed to go third class but
were shipped first class. We got to
small village on the way to Verdun
about 1890. This village is the head
quarters of the repair department of
the motor corps in the Verdun section.
We found a man who speaks English.
Have to wait here until $3.50 this
evening for a train. The French took
us to 2. kitchen just soon as they
found out we had not eaten. We had
tomatoes, onions, horsemeat, Pinard
and Roquefort cheese. The French
| soldiers are great. They are always
| anxious to do everything they can for
| us and have asked us to have mess
! with them tonight at 6 p. m. A French
! officer is going to take us around the
| place. He speaks English. We have
! hard time to get along as the French
talk so fast we can't always get it,
French gear-shlft sections have been
taken over by the American Field SER
vice so as to release the French driv-
ers from trench work. Naturally the
Poilu does not like this. The Poilus
! love us and kiss our hands and call
! 'Vive l. Amerique.'

my sheepskin coat and wooden gloves.
It rains so hard it goes down my neck
and up my puttees and everywhere. I
am writing on my hat as a table.
'"There is the American Field Ser
vice, American Ambulance, American
Red Cross and Morton Harges. All
other Ambulance units belong to the
Allied armies. In the French service
/ there are two men in a machine, one
| in reserve. In the American service
we have one man in machine, except
when under shellf1re.
"The sleep I gained on the boat I
lost in London and Paris. We were
on the go all the time sightseeing. At
camp I had a sleep from $50 p. m. to
$50 a. m. and that was pretty good
for me. Tonight I expect that we will
| have to sleep in railroad station or
a barn. The fellow that shared my
! stateroom is with me. His name is
| Dix. A Phi Delta Phi brother from
| Syracuse came in last night.
"My clothes are all mud and out of
shape. I certainly look as though
had been in the war for three years in
stead of two weeks. We go on to an
other station tonight, thence to the
front This village was RACED by the
Boche in 1914. It is nothing but ruins
From Barbecue to this place the
country was fine, many hills and trees
growing right down to the track. Here
things are sort of desolate. There are
hundreds of camions passing on til!
