the enemy. The small craft were all
dispatched to their stations with de-
stroyers in support, and two coastal
motor boats were told off to torpedo
the piers. Before the arrival of the
Vtndictive, until, 1:45 o'clock the
enemy was remarkably quiet but just
at this time the Germans began to
open fire: Star shells showed that the
smoke screens were progressing ex-
cellently.
AT about this time the sky, which
hitherto had been almost unclouded,
began to be partly obscured by low
drifting clouds. In about ten minutes
before the Vindictive was due at her
destination sea fog set in. This
stopped our air attack. Indeed for a
time even the searchlights could not
be seen. This state Of things con-
tinued for almost one hour. when it
cleared sufficient for the air attacks tn

1t was lurid scene when the Vim

dering Of guns on sea and land. The
exploding OF bombs from airplanes
added to the din. and there was an
occasional cry Of agony from some
one mortally wounded. Searchlights

The Vindictive cruised about for

London. May lit is declared on
unquestionable authority that the
sunken cruiser Vindictive lies in the
neck Of the channel at the entrance to
Ostend harbor at an angle of about
forty degrees. 1t is obvious that a
vessel 800 feet long lying at this
angle does not effectively block

very useful purpose has been served.

A partial and very serious blockade

Men have made the discovery that
city boys have better ears than those
from country districts. Only one re-
crnit in five from quiet neighbor-
hoods has the keen hearing possessed
by the average city dweller. 1t is as
sumed that the quiet of the country
tends to weaken. through disuse, the

GREAT WORK
IS DONE BY
AIR FIGHTERS
British Planes in All Branch

With Germans.

With the British Army in France,
May 11.-(By the Associated4 Press.)
There has been much air fighting
during the last few days and the
British airmen have fully sustained
the great reputation they established
Several days ago near Ypres one
British machine attacked . five Ger
mans single handed. The Britisher
engaged one enemy and fought him
until he fed. The English pilot then
went after another German and pres
sed the attack so hard that the enemy
was forced into a nose spin in an at
tempt to escape. The Britisher fol-
lowed him down. firing steadily into
the helpless German machine until
the latter finally turned on its back
and fell plummet-like. Another Brit
ish plane was attacked by six enemy
machines which came at 1t from be-
low and behind. The British OBJ
server opened fire at close range,
riddling the leading German machine
which dived and then burst into
flames This finished the work Of the
British pilot, who got away safely.
But fighting planes are not the only
ones that have been busy. The Brit.
ish bombing squadrons have been
doing wonderful work destroying rail.
roads, billets. ammunition dumps and
bombing enemy troops. Tons Of high
explosives have been dropped among
masses of the enemy at night, causing
heavy casualties. The British ma.
/ chimes also have been employed con.
stantly in attacking the infantry from
low attitudes with machine guns and
in many cases veritable slaughter has
resulted. -,
The artillery planes also have beer
doing invaluable service directing the
fire Of British guns and this represent:
one OF the most important phases OF
the duties of the air corps. for the
