British Airmen
DotUn 339 German
PLANES in One Week

LONDON, Aug. 16.-Measured by the
number of machines engaged, the In
tensity Of the fighting and the mug
nitudo Of the losses inflicted on the
enemy, the fighting In the air during
the past week was the most formidable
Of the war.
Some of the most severe conflicts
took place on August 8 in the sector
between Albert and the Amiens-Roye
road, whore the German air forces
were increased considerably soon after
the opening Of the Allied offensive.
The air fighting resulted in the de-
struction of forty-eight enemy ma
chimes, while seventeen others were
driven down out Of control. Fifty
British machines did not return,
During the six succeeding days 1s5
enemy airplanes were destroyed and
SO driven down out Of control, making
total Of 339 German machines for
the week, compared with 1913 Br!tlgh
airplanes missing.
In the same period, British bombing
squadrons continually attacked enemy
aerodromes, railways and other military
ebjectives, dropping more than $40
tons OF bombs and causing great
damage. Low-fying scout machines
raked the enemy's congcsted roads Of
retreat with machine gun fra, inf.et.
Ing many casualties.
A notable feature Of the aerial cper
atoms was the virtually continuous
night-and-day bombing Of the enomy
bridges over the Somme. This erey.lv

court fell on the morning Of the 14th,
in spite of the arrival Of fresh rein
forcements New divisions were iden-
tilted among these Germans troops.
The conquest Of the rest of the
Thiescourt massif will be q more diff
cult task. The Germans hold very
strong positions on the Plcmont
Height and on ridges on both sides Of
the Divette. Supported by their earth
works, they are able to make very
serious defence to frontal attacks, al
though exposed to a turning movement
to the north bv the First French Army
along the Lass igny- Roye line. General
Humbert's men are now only mile
and three quarters south of Lassigny.

drift, is marked beside the course on
the map. The compass course for the
return journey is also marked. The
speed Of the machine is calculated, and
on the line of the course a series OF
points are marked. showing where the
machine should be every ten minutes,
thus enabling the airman to cheek his
progress and to know his approximate
losltio if he gets lost.
The airman climbs in circles above
his airdrome until he has gained
sufficient height to start safely on his
journey, and then turns his machine
eastward, until his illuminated COM
pass shows that he is flying on. the
right course. Then he ti-es straight,
taking care to avoid swerving to right
or left.
At the same time he watches the
country below for landmarks: AS he
crosses the lines he looks for some
distinctive feature, such as the bend
Of p canal, the dark mass of battered
town, or the thin black thread of a
railway. If he finds it he knows he is
on the right course.
Then he sees that a river should
appear in few minutes. His watch
shows that he has been flying forty
minutes, and near the forty-five min
ute mark on his map is twisted pale
blue line. He looks ahead and sees IN
tie moonlight q silver streak and he
knows he is making good time. When
he is over the river he compares its
outline with his map, and sees that he
is crossing it at the right place. He
is forging steadily ahead to his desti-
nation. He secs the rivers and canals
most clearly of all the landmarks in
the night time Water is unmistakable.
The next most distinct objects are
woods and forests, which appear like
black patches, and their shape is
usually very distinct. He sees roads
like thin white ribbons, save wnere
they are thicklv bordered by trees.

LONDON, Aug. 17.-Out of the con-
ference at the German main headeuar-
ters may come peace rather than mil
itary drive. Ludendorff is sparr;ng for
time, and he won't be ready to make
even small spectacular show for
couple of months, or until the 1920
class is ready, and peace drive will
serve his purposes excellently. Before
Admiral Won Hintze, Kuehlmann's sue
cessor as Foreign Secretary of State,
started for this conference, in company
with the Kaiser and Hertling, he told
the Berlin correspondent Of the "Kol-
nische Zcitung" that Germany was
ready for any reasonable peace, but
that he did not consider Lloyd Georges
offer reasonable.
Young Emperor Karl, who wants
peace in the worst way, is attending the
conference, and before he leaves it is
likely he will have promised Germany
help in the West, in return for which
the Kaiser and the miltarists will
agree to attempt another peace drive.
Germany will get Austrian men anG
guns, while Karl Will get what satisfac-
ton he can out Of a German militarist
peace drive.
Germans Not Ready to Quit
Because Foch happens to have the in
itiativc and the war kaleidoscope pre-
scnts pretty picture for Allied eyes,
there is no proof that the German mill
tarists arc ready to Quit. Whatever
faults German militarists have, they
can't be charged with faint -heartednes
The Allies can have peace this fall, but
not the kind America wants.
Even before the enemy leaders
started for the conference the German
peace machine began to move. German
agents in Switzerland, Spain. Holland,
Sweden and Denmark began to work
for peace through the neutral press,
through statesmen, honest and dis
honest, and through financial concerns
to whose interest it is to bring about
speedy peace. Almost the moment the
Somme battle died down the neutral
press began to publish peace items, and
they have increased in number and size
since then.
Following Branting's return to
Stockholm after attending the Social
ist conferences in London and Paris
there comes news Of peace move by
Sweden. From Holland comes the re-
port that Kuchlmann, the most skilful
of German diplomatsts, because of his
mixture Of liberalism and junkerism,
IS about to become Germany's represen-
tative there. From Switzerland thers
is a report of considerable deposits of
German gold for propaganda purposes.
