The Allies are advancing slowly but
steadily, bringing up their artillery as
they come, and their guns are now
commanding not only Roye, Chaulnes,
Nesle and Peronne, but every Somme
crossing that is available for the ger
man retreat.
The german resistance is stiffening
and they attempted a severe coun-
ter attack before Roye. The French
have captured L'Echelle, three miles
west of Roye, and are reported to be
within a mile and half of the city.
The French have also made further
advances on the 1S-mile front between
the Avre and Disc rivers. but the

the air after a german Cuckoo birds
are always talking about pink teas, tho
they never have them. A cuckoo bird
is an aviator who does all of his fight
ing while none of the gimpers are
around and then comes back and tells
about it.
If you spot something which is
seeing another plane, you Jockey for

you can shoot at him without his
shooting you. Usually you're trying
to get under his TAIL which is behind
and under him, and coming after him
He can't shoot then and you can.
He would probably 'zoom' or dive
or 'vrille' then. If he 'zooms' he runs
for home; if he dives he goes straight
groundward without turning. while if
he 'vrilles' he dives, turning around
like top, so it's difficult to hit him.
IF its gimper you've 'piqued' on
and pique is only the aviators way of
saying attacked or charged at-he
'wobbles his flappers' frantically, pro-
badly, to signal you. That means he
moves his wings up and down. You
know he is an American then. because
you can see the Allies couquards on
his wings.
IF he were a boche, he would be
letting you have it, probably, and you'd
probably get into the blind spot That

see him. 1t is a point of vantage

unless you are trying to draw their
fire from activity on some other
gimper.
Doing stunts over the archies is
the worst insult you can give the ger
mans and they never fail to pepper
you. If you are wise, you will zoom
of for home about that time, or you're
liable to be 'en panne,' which means
the same as cuckoo. Cuckoo is eaero
tlang for broken down somewhere.
IT'S all right IL some Heinie hasn't
shot out of his bally at you, unexpect-
edly, before you could zigzag out of
range. Zigzagging usually fetches him,
as we say. Anyway, you want to be
near enough to the line. when your
motor cuckoos on you so you can glide
back. Then the mechanics can come
out and get their Eskimo as they call
the aviators in their fur suits, and IL
you haven't scared Heinie to death,

Richmond's Heart Is Stirred

. ICHMOND'S heart pulsed yesterday with
martial throbs as it had not done since
those other stirring days when it's very own
gray-clad hosts with ringing step marched
through its streets to Southern airs on their
way to battle. Yesterdays hosts wore not the
gray. They were khaki-garbed but still Rich
mond felt AS IL they, too were it's very own, and
the sentiment was reflected from the thou
sands OF Threats which cheered themselves
hoarse, and the thousands Of eyes, from
which cheeks were dampened with patriotic
tears, as they followed those sturdy soldier
chaps over the line OF march Some OF them
we're. indeed. Richmond's own sons; others
there We're from the North the South the
East and West. some from Albion's Isle some
from beloved France; some were of pure eau
casian blood, others with the dark skins of
Southern climes, but yesterday they all be-
longed TO Richmond, and to Richmond their
future and the future Of all they represent
in their supreme gift to the colors has become
doubly precious.
Whether deserved or not, Richmond pro-
verbally has had the reputation of hiding a
warm heart under cold exterior. That
may have been true in the past-yesterday
1t was not. AS martial airs blared forth
from military bands, or gave way to plaintivc
old-time melodies, their strains guiding the
feet OF Camp Lee soldiers and other military
and civic organizations marching in the com
mon cause, reserve was cast aside, and cheers
and tears, happy laughter and signs for what
the future might bring were mingled in one
vast noisy demonstration, in which Rich
monds heart was laid bare upon the altar
OF country's needs. And as the armed
hosts moved by with steady tread, on what
In truth is a step on their way to Europe's
bloody lighting grounds, where already their
brothers are at grips with the enemy fol-

willing to make the final sacrifice when they
