was mildly active during the night
ceased before daylight
The visibility was so poor that the
aviators accomplish little. American
fliers encountered few OF the enemy.

Mr. Wilson accords the republi-

supported the war measures pro-
posed by his administration, AL

hers Of his own party. Despite that
fact he accuses them OF having tried
TO usurp his proper functions.
