U-BOA7S BALKED
BY AIR FIGHTERS
Airplanes Are of Great Assist
ance in Finding Enemy
Submarines.
NECESSARY ALLY OF Navy
Great Britain Sees Need of Holding
Command of Air as Well as of
Sea-Aircraft Either Attack
or Summon Patrols.

London.-The measure of the sue
cess of the antisubmarine campaign is
the safe crossing of the Atlantic by a
million American troops.
There is very properly a good deal
of official reticence regarding the
methods by which submarines are de-
stroyed, but it is al open secret that
the royal air force has contributed
largely toward the defeat of the u
boat campaign.
just as airplanes have become an
essential auxiliary to the army, so air.
craft have become an indispensable
ally of the navy. making it clear that
ascendancy in the air in future will be
as vital to Britain as her present as
cendancy at sea.
Airships of two main types, the
smaller known as the submarine scout
and the larger as the coast patrol
type, and SeaplaneS, are the chief in
struments for dealing with submarines
from the air. The first business of all
aircraft or submarine offensive is to
IND the submarine.
See Submerged Boats.
From a certain height in the air,
submerged U-boats are visible to OBJ
servers and their position is communi-
Gated to the nearest naval patrol. The
work of aircraft is by nc means con
fined to detecting the U-boats. They
have means of Immediately attacking
their prey without waiting for the ar
rival of the naval patrol.
There is the obvious mean of drop
ping bombs, fully effective when the
submarine is caught on or just below
the surface. Modern antisubmarine
aircraft are almost equally at home in
the air or on the water. Should the
U-boat dive through the water, its pur-
suer can dive through the air and re-
lease depth charges, which have a con-
siderable range of action, and are much
feared by U-boat commanders.
In claiming for the r. A. f. a large
share in winning the safe landing of
Americas first million the reservation
must be made that the range of air.
craft from their bases is limited, but
their bases are not necessarily on land,
and seaplanes and submarine scouts
have accommodation on s%hipboard and
are carried to the area of their deep
sea patrols.
Where They Are Thickest.
Again, it is naturally in home wa
tiers and especially in the North sea
that submarines are thickest, outward
bound from Germany, so that aircraft
patrols are effective from home bases
over the sea zone most frequented by
U-bOatS.
Coast patrol airships accompany
conveys through home waters spot
ting" submarines, to be dealt with
either by themselves or by destroy
ers; and if the U-boat menace is not
yet mastered, it is steadily and n
~mistakably being brought under con-
troll. p
Safe landing of a million Americans
in France is a big fact, the signifi-
canoe of which a hardly be missed
wen in Germany, where, according to
neutral witnesses, scepticism has been
rapidly growing lately concerning the
possibilities of the U-boat campaign.

forest the British have advanced
somewhat and captured Engle-Fon-
tame and a nearby hill.
Along the northern edge of the
Raismes forest, north of Valencien-
mes the British have approached
nearer the canalized portion Of the
Scheldt river. In this region they
have captured the villages of Odo-
mez and Maulde. If the British
can cross the Scheldt in force in
this region and continue their
progress south of Valencieanes it
would seem the Germans soon
would retire from that important
point and probably readjust their
lines north and south on a large
scale. :.
French Capture Mortiers.
Between the Disc and the Aisne
the French are making rapid strides
towards the important points OF
Marie and Montcornet. Along the
railway southwest Of Marie they
have captured the village of Nor
tiers and maintain their pressure
elsewhere along the Serre.
Farther east a big hole has been
torn in the German detenses begun
in 1917. Between Banogne and
Herpy the French have driven for
ward toward Montcornet a distance
of about two miles on a front of
between four and five miles. A con-
tinued advance here menaces the
German hold on Rethel, to which the
enemy has chung tenaciously, and
tends to outflank the German line
eastward along the Aisne to Vou-
ziers. -
The Germans continue to fight
desperately to check the advance OF
the American troops along the vital
front east and west of the Meuse.
Their counter-a attacks at various
points on both sides of the river
have been repulsed, but the enemy
continues to lombard the American
line heavily. On the extreme west

forced their hold on the hills in
the southern portion of the Bour-
gosne wood. north of Grandpre. Y

There was heavy fighting all day
