LONDON. August 27.-Among the
incidents OF the recent British often
sive published here today is the fol-
lowing:
"An American pilot attached to a
British squadron was returning with
an English observer from a bombing
raid. when they were attacked by two
formations of enemy scouts. The first
German machine to close in was at
once shot down in flames by the OBJ
served. to be followed closely to the
same fiery end by another, which was
attacking from the rear.
"A regular battle ensued, during
which two more hostile machines
were seen to crash. Naturally in such
an encounter the British machine was
badly shot about. but luckily neither
occupant was hit, and the pilot was
just able to land safely behind the
British lines.

1t is no secret when the war will
end: it will end when the Allies win,
and not before A well-known Wash
ington correspondent says people
now are convinced that the war will
last year or two. The United States
accomplished wonders during the first
year in the war and it is going to
spread itself sure enough now-is al
ready doing that. The German drive
on the west front has brought the
war close to the people of this coun-
try and they have taken new de-
termination to win. Troops are NOV
ing to Europe with amazing rapidity,
it is said, and it is expected that the
cantonments will be emptied by sum-
mer and new troops substituted. The
business of everybody now in the
United States is to help win the war.
Everything else is side issue and by
way of parenthesis.
