For Every Bomb Dropped in Eng
land 999 Are Sent Down
in Germany.
SILENCE MANY BATTERIES
Feature of the Air Combat Is the Con.
tinuous GalIantry and Audacity Of
the Pilots-Difference In
Strategy.

LOndon.--Captain M, one of the
British Flying corps, ambling watch
fully behind great bank of rolling
clouds. spied In rift below a Ger
man patrol Of six machines. The COM
bat was short, sharp and unequal. I'm
mediately his gun barked off. A Ger
man dived headlong for the earth. His
leader swept out Of formation to meet
the daring Britisher and followed suit.
Enraged, the four others dashed for
our man simultaneously, firing as they
came. For the latter only one course
was optional. Sweeping low from the
sky until he almost skinned the tree
tops and the roofs Of the houses he
reached home in safety.
Which is to relate recent blythe
way air raid incident in that thrilling
and most audacious factor of up-to-
date warfare, aerial activity When
| the day is clear and bright or when
the hunters moon Eliminates the night
the pilots and observers of the Royal
Flying corps work overtime, and then
some. From dawn to dawn, without
gather or the fresh wind grows too un-
ruly, they are hard at it, fighting high
up among the clouds or bombing rail-
ways, ammunition dumps, aerodromes
| and billets in back villages.
Nine Hundred and Ninety-Nine for One
For every bomb on London in Ger
man raid there have been 900 dropped
by our men on points and posts behind
their lines. In this new warfare of
give and take while the Boches are
busy over England the English are
buster over BOcheland. In a single day
as the result of aerial observation 1877
hostile batteries were silenced, % gun
pits We're destroyed. so men were
bombed and over 60 explosions were
caused in ammunition dumps.
In two short months 12,999 bombs,
aggregating weight Of 23S tons, were
placed at the disposal of troops, In
trenchments and batteries in the
enemy lines. The r. f. c. in the period
from Saturday, February 16, to
Wednesday, February 20, accounted
for 70 German airplanes with loss of.
IL. The naval airmen bagged further
eight without loss and the French
were responsible for &c.
The German airmen are not lacking
in cOur, .ge, but the policy Of their COM
manders appears to be to maneuver
them in large formations, Is and 20 at
time. Six is common party. The
Tip and run" strategy of their bomb
ers is only of advantage at night. From
great altitude they clay their eggs"
Unfortunately and then make off at
a breakneck speed for their base. The
larger types Of machines, such as the
triplane, are greatly favored. And
more than anything they are lacking

without renewing on a large scale their costly counter attacks of last evening.
 Fighting still proceeded, particular ly on the extreme Hanks of the battle front, where the British were clean ing out strong points and straighten- ing their line, but the initiative re- mained entirely with them. :,
 That the situation created by the British seizure. of the long Hinden- burg outpost line and the dominating heights in front of it could not re. main stationary for long, seemed foregone conclusion. Aa
 Whether the enemy would essay fur ther heavy counter attacks depended entirely on the badly drained resourc. es at his command for the next move undoubtedly belonged to the Germans since they must push the British back or continue to live with the naked sword hanging over them in this vita sector.
 The enemy losses yesterday were extremely heavy, both in tNe early fighting and in the numerous counter attacks which were thrown in toward night, in desperate attempt to re- gain pant of the lost ground.
 The whole zone of the long bat tie front today was strewn with dead in the field gray uniforms, and more than 5000 prisoners were in the Brit. ish cages. :.s,

BIG DIFFERENCE IN ENGLISH AND
 IRISH ED|BLEs
Ireland Is Fine Place to Dine After Eating Food
 Calories in England.

London, Sept. 16 Correspondence of The Associated Press) .--Although only a three-hour boat trip separates England and Ireland there is as much difference as between day and night in the two islands as far as food Is concerned.
 For the person who has lived in England for a time and whose habits have led him to believe his system needs more than the number of food caiories science prescribes, Ireland is q wonderful place to dine in.
 It does; not follow that sufficient food is not available in England there is sufficient to heaMhily main tain the system, but there is a differ ence between that an deaing a large steak properly decorated. That can be accomplished in Ireland at reason able cost, but not in England at any price.
 Ireland is not rationed voluntarily or otherwise, and there is plenty of everything with the, exception of su- gar. In respect to food it is more pleasantly situated than the United States or England because prices have not advanced as they have in America and are no higher than in England where the ministry of food not only rations tbut controls prices Ireland always has sent quantities ot meat and dairy products to England and still is doing so.
 Americans who have been in Eng land and tried to become accustomed f0 fhn of ook of 0o1 and an absence, of fat in cooking wherever possible, on arriving in Ire land, fairly gorge themselves for a few days ontmeat, drink quantities ot milk and do not spare the butter They had. not been getting milk at all except with ia physicians pre-. scription and butter was limited .tc less than an ounce a day.
