Tor subscriptions and some good re-
ports are expected at the noon lunch
con tomorrow. Up to this time there
has not been any large subscriptions

ginning of the campaign are not ex-
pected to be very high as many of
the team captains are holding out to
run the total subscriptions up near
the close of the drive.
Steelton's Red Cross parade on
Friday evening did not cost the pub

the finance committee said to-day.
ihS dIuOunC OF money winch would

expenses for the demonstration will
likely be turned over to the war
fund. 1t was learned this morning.
This borough has come to the
place where demonstrations can be
held without the expenditure of a
large amount of money. a commit
teeman said to-day. The way this
Will be done is easily explained, the
committeeman continued. Steelton
Band is willing TO play for Steelton
at any time; Highspire Band feels
the same and all other organizations
will work for a good cause without
compensation.
Following Fridays parade, officers
of the Steelton Band announced that
no compensation was necessary; the
Highspire Band gave a similar re-
port to the Highspire Red Cross auxi-
liary and the First Cornet Band gave
its services without charge.
Wood for the flagstaffs on which
Red Cross banners were mounted
was furnished by the Bogar Lumber
Company and the staffs were made
by members of the manuel training
class at the local schools, thereby
eliminating expense to the Red Cross.
These staffs have been placed in
storage and can be used when need

LEADERS IN WAR
Germans Start to Fly in Great
Flocks and at Great
: Height

with the American Army In
France, May 21.-Control of the air
no longer belongs to the Germans
along the Toul. sector. Aerial activity
there seems to be increasing daily.
but the Germans are not permitted
to prowl about freely.
Two hostile airplanes have been
brought down by American aviators,
an official announcement issued at
American headduarters said last
evening.
Fighting American airmen have
locked wings with the enemy. and
down is overwhelmingly in their IA
vor. In fact. they have had such
good fortune that they are wonder
ing whether it can keep up without
change. They are not passing by a
single chance to get at the enemy.
The German airmen have started
to fly in fiocks at a great height.
Early yesterday morning FIVE of them
came over together at 5000 meters
(about three and two-third miles),
1000 (6.500 feet) above the ordinary
fire of the Arches" The alarm was
given promptly, but as soon as the
Germans saw FIVE American pursuit
planes climbing to meet them they
turned and started home rapidly.
Filters Speed Far Into Germany
More German squadrons have made
their appearance opposite the Amer
lean sector. but to the Americans
the increased number simply means
that many more chances of adding
notches to their machine guns.
While the enemy has increased the
number of his fiiers. his airmen in
turn have increased their caution.
Only seldom does a Boche venture
far within the American lines. When
he does he usually takes advantage
of the clouds and flies so high he
can get home before it is possible
for our aviators to ascend to his al
titude. On the other hand, our fiiers
often penetrate Germany for a great
distance.
