 GERMAN AIRMfN

 Near Chateau Thierry

With the American Army in France, July 5.-Four American avMtors en- gagged in thrilling air battle north west of Chateau Thierry this morn ing. One German machine was shot down during the combat. The four American aviators were patrolling the lines five or six kilometers inside the German front when they encoun- tered six enemy machines.

It is believ- ed the German airplane was out of control during it's plunge.

The transport remained afloat until Tues. day when efforts were made by an- other vessel and two tugs to tow her to port, but she was too badly dam aged.
