Fighting and bombing operations of
the aviators were extraordinarily nu-
merous and exciting last week. MANY
machines on both sides were brought
down. but the Huns were by far the
greater sufferers. Among the noted
air men lost was Major Raoul Lufbery,
the American, who jumped from his
blazing machine and was killed. Other
American aviators were very active
and many of them gained new laureIs.

American officers confirmed this, de-
caring that their chief trouble was
to restrain their men.
1t is inadvisable to designate the

all the men are bending to their task
and they are anxious to have the peo-
pie at home know that they are well
satisfied and determined to perform
to their utmost the duties before them.
Tell the homefollis that we are

Piqua Man Reaches Atlantic Port,
Leaving Berlin on January D.
Food i'm Germany.

An Atlantic Fort, Feb. 1S.--Dr. Ar
thur vi. Davis of PiQua, Ohio. who
WAS dentist for Emperor William OF
Germany. returned to America today
on neutral steamship. lie said he
left Germany January 22, having
Been allowed TO cross the borde. OH
a military pass personality signed by
the emperor.
DIR. Davis asserted that the Russian
situation was the foremost topic in
Berlin when he left and the develop.
ments at that time had caused great
rejoicing. He declared the food stu
alton in Germany was not so bad as
had been reported.
The fact that the United States is
IN the war and sending troops tc
France. is. of course. generally
known among the German people,"
DR.. Davis continued, but they do no
appear to take the United States Sc
riously. Rather they do not seem t.
believe America is serious. They still
have faith i'm the submarine but they
are not so enthusiastic over the u
boats as they were a year ago."
lie added that there were about 20
Americans still in Berlin. They were
not interned but were required to re-
port to the police authorities daily.
Neither are they permitted to leave
the city and consequently know but
little Of what Is going on elsewhere
