weather cleared sufficiently to permit

The splendid laison that marked
the days operations was due in great
part to the work Of the aviators, who
countless times risked their lives in
accommodating, attacking the retreat
ing Germans and bringing back re-
ports. German f1iers during the. entire
morning swooped over the heads of
the American infantry only few hun
dred meters above the earth, using
machine guns with telling effect until
driven off.
