OUTSPEED THE HUN
Airmen Drop Smoke Screen For Land
Tanks to Fool Enemy

With the French Armies, Oct. IA
member of the famous bombing
squadron attached to General Gour-
aud's army gave the correspondent
the following details of his last week
of fighting.
"As you know, the latest pattern
bomb planes carry a vastly increased
load and their superior speed enables
us to ignore boche interferances, pro-
vided we keep formation 1t is now
possible to aim with accuracy at an
objective seen from a height of 1000
to 5000 meters, and the photographs
show bombs invariably fall within a
very limited area. The greater carry
ing capacity of the planes give us a
wider range and, especially in the
case of mass attacks, the enemy is re-
duced to a state of such panic that
even the fire of the an~tiaircraft bat
teries dies away almost to nothing.
Troops Are Scattered
81 took part in one such operation
against Vouzieres three days ago. The
ceiling was low and we few at about
1900 meters. There seemed to have
been boche battleplanes in the clouds
above us who had encounters with the
battle squadron accompanying us, but
we were not bothered.
After plastering the station with
bombs which caused several fires,
notably one on a long freight train on
a siding, we turned our attention to
the roads and smashed a canton con-
way in the central square. AS | say,
the antiaircrafc batteries made a
feeble response and when, after the
bombs were dropped, We descended
and machine gunned the troops, they
ran in all directions
Enemy Bombed Out Of Woods
Pensioners say the effect of such
raids, wherein the bombs rained liter
ally by thousands for the space OF
several hours, was far the most terri
flying thing in the war. Yesterday we
had a harder job across the Suippe be-
tween Warnerville and Isles sur
Suippe. The boche held two woods

ed slopes up from the river and har-
raised u infantry advance with ma

chine gun and musketry fire.

The weather was bad and we were
obliged to fly a few hundred meters
exposed to a quick fire barrage from
the wood. But a steady rain of small
anti-infantry bombs gradually quiet
ed the boche, until we were able to fly
down and rake the outskirts of the
wood with machine guns, which per-
mitted the Poilus to consolidate their
footing on the northern bank"
Smoke Bomb Screen Used

Commissioners Siagger When Asked TO
Remit Nearly Double Amount Anlici-
paled for Grady Insane
$4,000 APPROPRIATED
S5,4OO AMOUNT ASKED
State Must Wait Until New Levy Made;
Ttmple Expresses Opinion; Cox
Is Busy Man

There was much scratching of heads
around the council table of the coun-
ty commissioners board yesterday
when County Clerk Cox read a bill
presented by the state Of Oklahoma
to Grady county with the customary
notation, please Remit
This bill called for the payment OF
$540O by the county and being item
lied, it showed that it was for the
board and other expenses of the Ora
dy county insane at the state asylum
at Norman The expenses of the un-
fortunates are figured on basis Of
$4S per quarter for each inmate A
law passed by the etate legisiaturs
requires that each county bear the
expense OF its own insane, instead OF
tho amount being paid out Of state
insane fund
Not that Grady county was not pre-
pared. Grady was prepared after a
fashion The trouble is that this coun-
ty was not prepared for the surprise
sprung by the state, relative to the
total amount. When the estimates
were made last July for the expense
Of running the county, total of $4,000
was set aside with which to pay for
the upkeep of the Grady county in
sane This, it was stated at the court
house this morning, was in accord
ance with the adyices from the state
department that the amount would
bo sufficient
AS a consequence Of the $4,000 APP
propriated for the purpose and the
onormity of the bill rendered by the
state, Grady county is in the red to
the tune of some twenty-four hun
died good American dollars. Where
fore the bill was turned down for OBJ
yious reasons.
The commissioners will be required
t, make an additional levy at the out
set of the next fiscal year to take
care of the bill and until that time
the state will be compelled to cool its
heels in the waiting room.
Speaking Of the matter this morn,
ing, Commissioner Temple said: "It
is my opinion that the relatives OF
the unfortunates should be required
t) pay for their up-keep, where they
are financially able to Go so. Where
they are not, of course it would then
be up to the county. 1t seems to me
that anyone who was SO unfortunate
as to have a relative in the state in
stitution, would not object to meet
ing the expense which is established
at this time at $4S per quarter"
The remainder of the session of the
commissioners was taken UP in the
transaction of routine business. NJ
new road matters developed for The
reason that the end of the presen
fiscal year is so near that any worl
designated now could hardly be com
pleted before the dawn of new fis
cal year Many road bills were audit
ed. giving evidence that considerabl,
work is in progress at his time. A

days to come, County Clerk Cox viii
