Lieutenant Rickenbacher is now Of

The group to which he and Lieu
tenant Luke belong has twenty-eight
enemy airplanes and balloons to its
credit since the offensive began. Con-
firmation of these victories has been
certain in nearly all cases.
Lieutenant Luke originated the
idea of night raids on enemy balloons
ing them out He was late in return
ing one night from a raid and came
down in a wheat field, discovering 1t
was not too difficult to land at night
by the aid Of rocket flares. He as
certined the hour when the enemy
balloons were to be filled and most
of his attacks have been carried out
as the balloons were about to ascend.
On the first day Of the American
offensive Lieutenant James Knowles,
Jr.. Of Boston, flying yer the re-
treating German artillery saw that
the roads were badly damned. He
added to the confusion by flying at a
height Of about 80 yards and shoot
ing at and frightening the horses. He
reported the condition of the roads
and an American night bombing
squad was sent out. These airmen
wrecked havoc in the enemy artillery
and greatly increased the congestion
on the road.

Australians push Ahead.

J With the British Forces in France,
Sept. ,2O:--(By the Associated Press.)
Australian troops today continued
their penetration OF the Hindenburg
system and now are two-thirds of a
mile from Bellinglise, four miles
northwest of St. Quentin. -,
Steady thrusts made by the vic
torious British division on the battle
'front.' northwest of St. Quentin gave
them additional ground during the
night. No heavy attacks were made
but the obstinate German machine
gunners' yielded a number Of prison
ers and the exhausted enemy forces
sheltered in the 6Hindenburg main
defepses were given no. rest.
On the right near the junction of
the Allied armies, English and Scot
Holnon village and. the redoubts
adjoining, which, had given consider
able trouble to the French.
The British troops swept the ceme-
terry at Fresnoy free of machine guns.
Gricourt, a village one mile east of
Fresnoy, which had been strongly de-
Tended by reason of the network Of
old British trenches. was kept under
a destructive fire during the night.
The Australians lying north of
Fresnoy continue their exploration Of
the Hindenburg outpost system which
they, had stormed along the front of
their first and fourth divisions. y
The recapture of Moeuvres last
night completely restores the British
line in that section of the canal Du
Nord.. The Germans fought hard for
the village. Moeuvres is a solid mass
of trenches and dugouts covering a
square mile of ground. 1t is the
junction of the main n support Hin
denburg line and is the most difficult
obstacle which the British have en-
countered anywhere in that defensive
system. The enemy regards it as the
key to the position north of Harm
court. f .E n.
Few prisoners were taken. In ad-
dition to the guns already reported
captured the British have taken two
4-inch howitzers, abandoned by the
Germans Thursday, and two field guns
left behind yesterday afternoon.
