the greatest in the history of aviation,

previously planned by the high COM
mand.
They gathered in the sky like
bees gathering at hive. The vibrat-

farther than the eye could see. They
defed the enemy to attack, but the
enemy declined to accept the challenge.
Glimpse Into Future
Some day the enemy will probably
be forced to accept challenge in SIM
liar circumstances and the world will
hear of a battle without parallel in
warfare.
The preliminaries now going on are
simply a glimpse into the future of
air fighting. Experts predict that be-
fore this year ends the fighting in the
air will have become the most spec
tacular known.
Two weeks ago The Tribune cor
respondent saw an air fight in which
fifty machines were engaged. At any
time now a fight in which 400 machines
will be engaged is an actual prob

Admiral Wilson's Report
Admiral Wilson in describing the
situation said:
"The sea about the wreckage was
covered by mass of boxes of smoke
less powder, which were repeatedly ex-
ploding, and among this wreckage
were a number of survivors. The
wreckage was so thick that small boats
were unable to reach these men. The
heat from the burning vessel in the
vicinity was SO intense that the con-
verted yachts present, with wooden up
per works, could not safely penetrate
the wreckage.
"Under these conditions Lieutenant
Haislip took his vessel at high speed
into the midst of the wreckage at a
considerable risk Of detonating the
depth charges carried on his vessel
and made lanes through which the
small boats lowered by his and other
vessels could reach the survivors.
1.-THE dash, initiative and courage
shown by Lieutenant Haislip on this
occasion are in order with the best
traditions of our service, and it is
recommended that he be commended
by the Navy Department"

by Gas Attack on
Front Before
Amiens

LONDON, May 26.-Although the
lull in the fighting on the West
front continued to-day, there is
every indication that the Allied
armies are not waiting passively for
the coming German blow. By break
ing up every enemy attempt to con-
centrate his troops and by effective
ly combating him from the air
Foch's army is slowly gaining the
upper hand.
Ludendorff showed no inclination
to renew the offensive to-day. The
violence of the German batteries
along the valley of the Lys and
south of the Somme increased no
ticeably, but the infantry remained
idle. The enemy attempted heavy
thrust against the French line near
Orvillers-Sorel, but was driven back
with losses.
Gas Attacks at Amiens
In two sectors the enemy Launched
gas attacks against the British
lines, Field Marshal Haig reported
tonight, drenchine Villers- Breton
neux,--in the Amiens sector, Satur-
day night, and the region west of
Hinges, in the southern part OF the
Lys area, this morning.
In a. sharp fight in the Luneville
sector last night an American patrol
routed a German detachment, inflict-
ing casualties on the enemy. The
Americans had no losses. In the
Toul and Picardy sectors also the
American troops have fought with
unusual brilliance recently, both in
the air and in raiding operations.
Americans In Silent Raid
A silent raid by the Americans in
the Picardy sector was reported by
General Pershing last night. Six
Germans were killed and one capt
ured. A semi-officiai statement from
Berlin to-day said that American
losses in the Picardy sector recently
had been severe, and the statement
issued by the Berlin War Office to-
night stated that American prison
ers had been taken west of Mont
didier.
Observers report that, with the
superiority in the air regained and
with increasing power through the
unified control of the armies, the AL
lies are becoming better prepared
every day to meet the German blow
| when it falls. Everywhere there is
spirit of growing optimism.
