NO credit for a victory is given the
Americans, because official verification
OF the destruction of the enemy was
impossible.
German Fliers Out in Force
Captain Halls machine had painted
upon its side the first American air
plane insignia to appear on the battle
line. 1t was in the form of chat in
the ring" sign, showing starry striped
high hat, usually pictured on Uncle
Sam, surrounded by golden ring.
Despite the bad weather German ma
chimes were out in force. Alarm after
alarm was answered by the Americans
Lieutenant Cunningham engaged one
machine, when five more of the enemy
Joined in. The lieutenant kept up the
fight until his machine gun jammed
when he returned to the American lines
with ten bullet holes in his plane.
The usual German game was to have
a small number of planes appear near
the American lines, while a reserve OF
four or five machines remained out of
sight until the Americans came into
action. The reserves would then swoor
down in an attempt to wipe out the
Americans. The American aviators met
this by answering alarms with twice
the number of machines it was reported
the Germans had.
American aviators used Nieuport pur
suit MACHINES as their fighting weap
cns. The Americans engaged in pho

Foe Can't Drive
British From Seas!''
First Lord of Admiralty Prais-
es Merchant Marine for Part
It Is Plavin9 in the War

LIVERPOOL, May 8.--Germany has
made man mistakes in the course Of
the war, but never made a greater one
than in thinking she could end the
war by driving British merchantmen
from the seas, declared Vice-Admiral
Sir Rosslyn Wemyss, First Sea Lord Of
tne Admiralty, at the annual meeting
q the Mercantile Marine Association
here to-day.
In letter to the convention, Vice
Aamsral Sir David Beatty, commander
oi the grand feet, wrote:
The officers and men Of the grand
meet send greetings to their brother
sailors in the mercantile marine and
express admiration for their gallantry
ana devotion to duty. The Importance
o1 the part they are playing in the
gfsat war cannot be overestimated."
ssr Eric Geddes, First Lord Of the
admiralty, and others sent similar
Messages. in which tributes were paid,
nes only to the dauntless courage
so1 hritish and Allied sailors, but also
g those sesmen Of neutral nations, who
eqnally have refdaed TO be intimidated
sny An unscrupulous foe.

Naval Unit Conveying Two
Grain Ships to French
Port
Will Fight Way
Through Blockade
Wheat Guaranteed to Switz.
erland Despite Supply
Shortage Here

WASHINGTON, May S.-America's 8
determination to feed the Swiss popu-
,ation despite obstacles interposed by
Germany was made plain to-day, when
the State Department gave out COM
nunication to the American Minister
at Berne declaring grain ships were on
the way under naval convoy prepared
To force passage through the subma-
rine zone.
The note was sent for publication in
Switzerland to relieve anxiety there as
to the food supply. 1t disclosed that the
limited States had decided to defy the
submarine blockade after the German
government declined to guarantee safe
massage for grain ships until three
months time had expired in which to
notify submarine commanders.
Defies German Blockade
The note reads:
ut is not the fact that no wheat
ships for Switzerland will leave the
limited States for the next three
has semi i-officially announced that
her proffered safe conduct for United
States ships en- route to Cette for
Swiss relief cannot be effective for
three months, since it will take this
period to modify the existing orders to
submarine commanders under which
American ships carrying wheat to
Cette for Swiss relief are to be tor
pedoed. This means in so far as Amer
lean ships are concerned that Germany
is still maintaining an armed blockade
Of Switzerland and that the American
wheat on American ships heretofore
rendered to Switzerland cannot go for
ward unless these ships are prepared
to fight their way through the blockade
which Germany has created and which
even closes the supposed free passage
to the port of Cette. This challenge
the government of the United States
is prepared to meet. Two ships under
the American flag loaded with grain for
Switzerland are now en- route to q
French Atlantic port escorted by units
Of the United States navy.
Even Neutral Ships Sunk
"In addition to such measure of re-
lief as can be afforded to the Swiss
by the United States diverting its naval
forces to insure by force of arms the
receipt Of grain by Switzerland, there
still exists the possibility of receiving
supplies on neutral ships, although
this possibility has greatly diminished
since the sinking by German subma-
rine of the Spanish steamer Sardinero,
outside of the war zone limits, when
engaged in carrying wheat for Swiss
relief.
"The measures heretofore taken by
the United States should, however, be 9
sufficient earnest of the intention Of
the United States to insure delivery of
wheat for Switzerland, and it should
be borne in mind that the extraordi-
nary efforts which the United States
has made and will continue to make
will result in still further diminish
ing the supply of wheat for our own
people, when exports already made to
co-belligerents and to neutral coun-
tries have reduced domestic supplies
to point where the average per capita
consumption of wheat in the United
States is substantially below the pei
capita consumption of wheat in Switz-
erland."

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, Tuesday, May Jimmy
Hall is gone, and the whole American
air service is mourning his loss. All
are wondering whether he was killed
or was able to bring his machine safely
to earth after his battle in the air over
Pagny-sur-Moselle. Captain Hall was
popular throughout the army and had
won admiration by his daring, coolness
and skill in handling his machine.
The captains flying companions are
all certain he would have knocked out
MS opponent had it not been for a
mannuvre unheard of by American and
French pilots in this section of France
1T has been considered dangerous to
the last degree to bring up a machine
sharply from a downward plunge, be-
cause the strain is almost certain to
cause the collapse of some vital part
of the plane.
The German aviator whom Captain
Hall was pursuing, being hard pressed,
adopted this desperate expedient to es-
cape death, and won. He was thus en-
abled to pour stream of bullets into
the bottom of Halls machine.
Companions Wait for Hours
The captains companions waited for
several hours after the fight for him
to return to the hangar before giving
him up for lost. They felt certain that
unless some serious accident had oc-
Cured the captain would return. not
withstanding the fact that he was last
seen plunging in spiral dive and evil
IDENTIFY trying to land. The aviators all
have the greatest confden in him and
express the conviction that if he land
ed safely and was captured he would
escape eventually.
AS result of to-day's activity it is
believed the Germans sent some of
their best fliers to this sector to at
tempt to annihilate the American Av.
ing force.
Captain Hall, with two others. was
patrolling this morning between St
Mihiel and Pont-a-Mousson. When
they were over Pagny-sur-Moselle four
enemy albatross airplanes painted with
black and white stripes were seen.
The Americans attacked. Canta;n

And marshall music in the street;
The BOYS are all back home.
They whipped the kaiser, good and well
And sent a bunch of bocbes to-er-well
Never mind the zone.
Where many of their victims be
They're back from their great victory,
And welcome are you sons.
Back to the land you battled for,
Facing the bullets in the war,
While fighting 'gainst the huns.
Democracy is now secure
For all the world, and will endure,
While time and nations stand.
Welcome home boys for what you We done,
Your task was more than beating hun,
You've brought peace TO our land
And not TO our soil alone,
The whole wide world is forced to own
You've banished for all time,
All autocratic surfdom rule,
By emperor, or king, or fool,
For every tongue and cline.
Welcome you are, back homo again,
We're proud enough in our domain
Where righteous peace now dwells
Your valor made the whole world space
Fit for freemans dwelling place,
We crown you immortas.
