Delay by Germans
Strengthens Allies
To Withstand Drive

LONDON, Saturday. May 25.-"Every
day that passes without witnessing a
renewal of the terrific struggle finds
the Allies better prepared to Withstand
the shock" says a dispatch from Reu-
ter's correspondent at British head
quarters in France. "Gradually the
great tactical and strategic advantages
of unity of command are developing,
with the result that confidence regard
ing the outcome never has been so
high.
Meanwhile the oncoming American
troops, whose steady tramping makes
an almost monotonous cadence, give
reinsurance that our army is by no
tion of the German attack.
"Day and night the Allies are taking
heavy toll Of enemy man power, harass-
ing communications and apparently
even forcing thel uneasy impression to
grow in the enemy's ranks that the
initiative has passed to the Allies.
~ believe it is fact that their
troops do not like to raid our positions
at all because they know so many of
these enterprises fail to reach our line
which Means that the raiders have had
pretty bad time.
"The temperamental difference be-
tween the British overseas soldier ac-
counts for the vastly disproportionate
success OF our raids as compared with
theirs. They initiate our methods, fol
systematic raiding was introduced into
the war by the Canadians, but imita.
tion cannot reproduce the essentla
human factor.

occurrence. This situation contrasts
sharply with that which prevailed
when these aviators first started ops
Grating. 1t was rare occasion then
when one or more enemy airplanes were
not circling over or behind the Amer-
can lines, operating with almost com
plete freedom.
Moreover, according to information
obtained from a German officer aviator
brought down within the last few days,
the fear of the American aviators has
been instiled into the German flying
corps. This prisoner furnished the
information that the line from St.
Mihiel to Pont-a- Mousson, within
which the American airmen are oper-
ating, had come to be regarded as a
dangerous place for German pilots.
Our fighting aviators could not possibly
have heard a more welcome tribute.
Four American aviators have been
reported missing on the British front
two of whom recently were brought
down behind the German lines. The
names of the missing men are not yet
available.
There is no confirmation as yet of
the claim of Thursdays German Off
cial statement that three American air
planes were brought down on Wednes-
day on the Lys front.

day in a Berlin telegram.
The report says:

entirely cut up by our fire. The
others were thrown back by counter

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, May 25.-The activities Of
the American air squadron operating in
the sector northwest Of Toul seem to
have had results even more effective
than were anticipated. When it first
began its work there were between
thirty and fifty summonses to activity
coming in to our aviators daily. Gradu-
ally the number of calls has dwindled,
until for several days the average has
been but two day.
From strictly technical military
standpoint the operations of the Amer
lean airmen have two objects. The
first is to kill off the opposing air
men, while the second is to keep the
enemy from flying his machines on
the American side Of the line and thus
preventing him from taking photo
graphs regulating artillery fire or in
any way securing information. The
American airmen have done much tow
ard accomplishing both objects.
The records show that the new
squadron has already taken creditabe
toll of enemy pilots and observers.
while for q German airplane to come

victory to his long record. If he
simply loops the loop and does not
fire it means he has had no success.
One evening not long ago he fired
several times, and the Americans
dashed over across the field with the
Eeartiest congratulations. This is
only one illustration of the great
and growing camaraderie between
the younger birdmen of America
and the veteran t1iers of France.
New-York tribune., 1918-05-27

ago. To-day, in their fast machines,
which, incidentally, are still French
machines, they wander over Boche
territory at will, Haunting the Amer
ican flag in the enemy's face at al
most all hours of the day, and some
times of the night.
Welcome a Fight
They are not supposed to fight,
but they have plenty of fight in
them when the enemy takes excep-
tion to the flag.
The other day a Boche two-seater
dropped from the clouds onto one
of these American tail flags. The
American and Frenchmen in the
machine were ready. They shot
their sputtering machine gun direct
through the tail, killed the enemy
gunner. and would have brought the
machine down except for the latter's
precipitate flight.
That was this Americans first
fight and he is keen for more. He
is thinking about getting into the
exclusively fighting branch of Amer
lean aviation.
1t is impossible under the censor's
rules to mention the names of these
American aviators, but it is per-
missible to say that they have all
come to Picardy within year from
Chicago, Oxford, Ohio; Silver City
Iowa; Indianapolis, Pittsburgh
Washington and other less vel
known American towns and cities.

able to make a simultaneous offensive

to require days, if not weeks.
Each theory may contain it's element
OF truth, but one thing is certain
that. the suspense is trying, not so
much to the men at the front, who are
always actively occupied, even when
the official communications report the

Ouer Enemy Lines
By Wilbur Forrest

Especial Cable TO The Tribune)
WITH THE AMERICAN
FORCES IN PICARDY, May 26.-
Fast airplanes with the American
flag painted as prominently as pos
sible on their tails are now observed
daily in this sector.
One is especially noticeable. 1t
carries a fluttering silken Stars and
Stripes tackled to the strut, and
though its pilots duty is simply OBJ
servation and photographing, he has
brought down five enemy machines
which have picked on this flag.
To-day / searched out this Amer
ican eagles nest and found it far in
the rear. 1t proved to be what
should more properly be called a
Franco-American nest where youth
full Americans and Frenchmen are
living in the greatest amity, speak
ing a mixture of French and Eng
lish.
Artillery Accuracy Shown
The great hangar is surrounded
by large field. The birdmen live
in small tents. Montdidier and all
the surrounding towns are known to
these birdmen like books.
saw some marvellous photo
graphs demonstrating the accuracy
of the fire of our artillery. The vii
lage of Cantigny, which can be
viewed from the American trenches,
had little pond near the village
square fifteen days ago. To-day's
photograph shows that we have
blown all the water from the pond.
1t is as dry as bone, and without
divulging military secrets it can be
said that other landmarks in Can
tigny have been extremely un-
healthy for the enemy.
Hangers Destroyed
Three enemy airplane hangers at
Mesnil St. Georges and at various
crossroads were prominent in the
photographs three weeks ago. A
fortnight ago one of them was COM
pletely down and another showed a
direct hit from an American shell
square in the centre. To-day there
are no hangers and the crossroads
are blurred with shell holes.
Daily photographs of Montdidier
show that the city proper is still
practically unharmed though the
railroad yards and other important
points have been gradually ham
mered either by the long-range gun
fire or by airplane bombs into use
lessness.
Batteries Photographed
Ten enemy batteries accurately
photographed opposite the Ameri-
can sector have been seen by Amer
ican observers to receive direct hits
from the American guns, and have
not fired a single shot since. This
confirms the artillery figures cablec
a few days ago showing that thirty
two guns have been knocked out il
this sector.
These Franco-Americans, fyin,
the American flag, are attached ex
clusively to the American forces i,
Picardy, and both the French an
Americans are extremely proud O
their work and of the work of tn
American gunners.

Goats Milk Is Favored,

Everyone who Is at all acquainted
with the milk goat knows of the value
of the milk for infants and invalids'
use-one of the first points about the
milk goat that presents itself, asserts
q writer. The goat Is practically free
from tuberculosis. According to the
annual reports of the bureau of animal
industry (U. S., covering federal in
spection of animals slaughtered for
food, there were inspected during the
eight years, 1907 to 1914, inclusive,
579617 goats, of which not single
animal was condemned for tubercu-
losis. This fact alone should be the
strongest argument in favor of the
milk of the goat. The cream globules
of the milk of the goat are smaller
than those of cows milk, and because
of this milk being condensed the cream
globules are contained in more per-
feet state of emulsion than the cows
milk. An argument in favor of ster-
ilized milk is that authorities agree 1t
Is actually more easily digested than
is the fresh milk, this referring to
goats and cows milk alike.

The Apostles and the Nicene Creed,
