FLEDCLINC FLYER
DROPPING PILOT
ONLY THOSE WHO HAVE FLOWN
KNOW THE FEELING.

An American Aerodrome In Eng
land, June 8.-(Correspondence o
1 The Associated Press) This is on,
of the numerous aviation camps il
England where Americans are receiv
ing their finishing touches as flyers
When they leave here for the battle
front in France, they know all that car
be taught about flying, Only the schoo
OF experience can supply the posi-
graduate course that makes Guynem
ers and Lufburys.
The aerodrome is set in one OF
those beautiful spots that one calls
to mind from classic pictures of Eng.
lish landscapes. 1t is early in June
and the great level field that stretches
away in front of the hangers is like
rich green carpet. Beyond there is
woodland, and In the distance is a
range of low hills whose smooth con-
tour recalls to western Americans the
foothills of California.
1t is a peaceful peace and very quiet
except for the droning of airpianes. At
least dozen are in the air and others
are preparing for flight. Into one of
these latter a young Kentuckian has
just climed. For the first time he is
going up alone. g#f8ft
For weeks the British Instructor
has been with him constantly and lie
has passed successfully the major
tests. He can fly straight, the instru =
tor sitting beside him has made sure,
and he can work the controls without
fear or nerves" He knows to stall.
to glide and to climb, and he has
learned good deal too about the ir0-
portant art of landing.
On one memorable occasion the
instructor had shouted to him above
the roaring of the engine, shall We
loop?" and they did. But hitherto. of
course the instructor had been the
real pilot, explaining maneuvers, en-
couraging the young man to secure
an accurate touch, and to become, as
he must il he is to be successful, so
perfect master of the machine that
he can make it fly of itself.
The fact that it is his first flight
is known at the aerdrome and many
eyes are watching to see him take
off,.
With a tremendous sputtering the
engine starts. The instructor, standing
on the step of the fuselage, holds to
his cap against the hurricane raised
by the propellers, and shouts his final
directions. He points to the instru-
ments, shows what the engine revolu-
lions should be, feels the controls, and
bids the new "soloist" good cheer.
What the fledgling flyers feelings
are only those who have flown alone
know. He is dropping the pilot and
embarking on the great adventure.
On a first flight alone the pupils
performance is carefully watched for
any faults Usually he is given de-
finite piece of maneuveing to carry
out. A pupil is never sent into the air
merely to fly about for fixed time.
Afterwards he will have more dual
with his instructor and much of the
old teachings will be repeated and
emphasized. At this point perhaps the
real understanding between instruc-
tor and pupil becomes manifest. I'm
derstanding and sympathy are impor-
tant factors in aerial instruction.

The German offensive east and west
Of Rheims has had the brakes applied
to 1t by the strong resistance of the

Nowhere has the enemy found it pos
sible to press forward and tear his
way through opposing positions to
points of vantage.
Some gains have been made, but
they are trivial compared with those

they may be reckoned almost in yards
And from some of the positions cap

marily under vicious counter attacks
delivered by the American troops fight
ing alone as unit, and Americans
fighting shoulder to shoulder with
their French comrades in arms.
Tacit admission that the enemy has
shalted, seemingly is contained in the
latest German official communication.
In dealing with the fighting of Tues
day 1t says allied troops on the Marns
front have delivered violent counter
attacks" and that to the east of
Rheims 'the situation is unchanged"
The only claim made to any success
by the Germans is that there were
some local successes to the south
west of Rheims
The successes of the Americans and
the French give back to them points
of strategic value on the heights DOM
mating the Marne valley.
The Americans alone recaptured
Fossoy and Crezancy, east of Chateau
Thierry, and at one point near Fossoy
drove back the enemy across the river
and took number of prisoners. Aid
cd by the French they recaptursd St.
Agnan, Hill 238, La Chapelle and
Monthodon, south of Dormans.
Throughout the region lying to the
west of Rheims. especially south of
the Marne. the Germans made desper.
ate attempts on various sectors to in
crease their penetration of the allied
front, but where they were able to
gain any advantage 1t was only foot
at time. the French meeting their
onslaughts with the greatest bravery
and making the enemy pay dearly for
every inch Of ground he took.
The Germans have apparently from
sixty to seventy divisions in position
for the present offensive, of which
some forty have already been engaged.
(This would mean potential force
of approximately s50.O0O. with SAC, 900
engaged).
