CAPT. GUYNEMER LEVELS
HIS SID ENEMY AERO
French Filler Swears Vengeance for
Story That He Is
Not Brave.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
BRITISH FRONT IN FRANCE AND
BELGIUM. August 1s-From a sec
ton of the French front comes word
that the renowned aviator Cant
George Guynemer brought down two
more German machines, making fifty-
two he has accounted for. Guynemer
visited headquarters to receive a deco
ration from a distinguished Rumanian
general. The Associated Press CORE
spondent saw the medal pinned on the
breast of the intrepid airman, besides
numerous orders he won. including a
decoration from the king of the Bel
Sians, the day before.
Guynemer undoubtedly was proud of
the honor, but he was much disturbed
over an article which has just appeared
IN a Berlin paper saying he is not
really brave. but that he flew at a great
height and attacked enemies by swoop-
ing down on them. The purport of the
story was that Guynemer did not play
the game fairly. Guynemer swore ven.
geance FOR this canard, and as he
walked away after receiving the deco
ration. with a determined look on his
face. the young aviator gave full indi-
cation as to what he had planned.
1t may be added that he appeared to
hold the deepest generation of French
soldiers. As he strobe out of the head
quarters grounds yesterday, with his
breast blazing in the sun from many
medals. the soldiers stood at attention
all along the way. even those who were
inside the offices rising to their feet as
a tribute to the hero.

GERMAN DESTROYER
AND MINE SWEEPERS HIT
British Warships Escape From u
Boat Attack in Brush With
Enemy at Sea.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, August 1S,-The admiralty
announces that hostile destroyer and
Two mine sweepers were damaged Sc
verely by British naval forces on
Thursday. The British warships were
not damaged. The announcement fol-
lows:
Some OF our light naval forces
scouting a German blight on August l6
sighted an enemy destroyer at 9:45
am. Fire was opened and the enemy
destroyer was chased. She was seen
to be repeatedly hit and to be on fire
but she escaped through the mist over
the mine field.
Enemy mine sweepers were sighted
shortly after the sighting of the de-
stroyer and a heavy fire was opened
on them. At least two of the mine
sweepers were seen to be very severely
damaged, but. similarly with the de-
stroyers. our ships were unable to fol-
low them. owing to the proximity OF
the mine fields.
During the engagement our vessels
were attacked by a submarine and
after the action a second submarine
attacked. in both cases without result
Our vessels suffered no damage what
ever.
