OUR AIR. SHIPS DO WE'LL

The American aviation army "func-
tons splendidly.' This is the very
inspiring report made on the aviation
service by British and French Oh
servers, and it is further confirmed by
the more careful statements Of our
own military leaders. Major Bard,
parliamentary secretary to the Brit
ISL Air Board, at dinner given 10
listing American editors, said:
General Brancker. whom VIC dcputnd

necsed with the air doubt very much

IL IS quite likely. | think. that tho air

Mr.. John D. Ryan. Who has spent
several weeks IN France studying the
work of our aerial fighting force
makes 4 like report. Our pilots are
the equal Of any in the world. and We
are daily training many thousands
Our air ships are success, and at
last they are beginning to come In
great numbers. The air ship progress,
or lack Of progress. has hitherto been
the most disappointing thing about
orr war making. We have spent much
money, lost much time, and. until very
recently, have had little TO show for
II The idea of winning the war
through the air appeals to American
Imagination, and it is inspiring to
know that at last we are beginning
to come up to expectations in this
great field of war activity.

mans using machine guns and a few light field pieces. French and Amer leans held St. Etienne and the Ger mans finally withdrew to the north ward. The Germans attempted a counter attack at noon today. The troops concentrated in the region of Machault in great force, but were re- pulsed by the French and American heavy guns. The Germans later made a vain attempt to reach the ravines south of Machault. Observ- CTS reported that the Allied artillery fire caused disorder among the enemy forces, which, at last accounts, were withdrawing, leaving rear guards to cover their retirement.
 There was an intermittent bonn bardment of Somme-Py, as we'll as cross roads an dareas back of the all lied lines, today.
 Haggard from lack of sleep and nearly famished, the men of the Lost" battalion rescued on Monday morning, after having been surround ed for more than four days in the Argonne forest, now are recovering from their narrowing experience.
 The men had subsisted partially on oak leaves and many units were so depleted by minor injuries and weak ness that wounded men had to take turns at guard duty. Yet they cheered as they drove back the Ger man forces that surrounded them.
 When they reached the American . but proud of their gallant stand Ma jor Whittlesey was in command of the battalion.
 Shortly after midnight the rescue party rushed on through the German lines breaking one enemy defense af- ter another, and at last completed the rescue.
 While fresh troops drove the Ger mans in wild flight from the scene of the anticipated triumph, the tired heroes of the battalion began to filte- back to their bases.

3O,OOO CASES OF INFLUENZA NOW
 IN CONNECTICUT

Hartford, Oct. s.-Dr. Eben Reeks, Deputy Commissioner of Public Health, said today that to date there had been 3O,O00 cases of Spanish in- auenza reported in the state. He said the urgent need at present was for women volunteer nurses. In many instances entire families are effected by the epidemic at the same home without one being able to help the other. If in the different communi- ties women would volunteer to visit the stricken homes and prepare food for the sick they would be doing patriotic and humane work Such women may register with local wan bureaus or with selectmen. It is not necessary that they be nurses.

INDIVIDUALISM LOST.
Seems Completely Merged in the
 Great Sea of Liberty.

No word has dearer significance to man than individualism. It is his. one proof of life here and to come. Were he not individualized in the or der of his kind he could know noth- ing of himself or of his kind. By his individualized faculties he is able to discover and compare the individ- ualized features of nature, which dis tinguish them and their kind.
 Standing upon the seashore and seeing it's waters drawn up in sunlit mists to the heavens, man Is made aware through the individuality Of his reasoning, joined with the recorded discoveries of the individual reason ing of his predecessors, that the sea is being individualized before his face, that what is being transported to the skies will return again in mu1titudin- ous drops to freshen the earth, to dew-star the meadows and at last find it's way again to the bosom of the great deep.
 As with the sec so with everything else in, the realm of fuctuating nature Always transmution from the indi- vidua1 ocean to the inf1nitesimal drop. Always the return to that form which it evolved, there to remain for a time an individual essence in a greater body of inf1nitesimals.
 Thus every human being stands apart from every other atom and every other animal, every other mind and soul peering out into the strange, beautiful world of birth and rebirth, motion and emotion, fex and reflex, in never-ending round of order en masse, however, disordered it may seem in separate groups. Always the planetary systems, with its controlling suns and moons and stars and it's slowly individualizing nebulae.
 So today the American individual r. ism that seemed so important a few years back is heartily merged in the great ocean of liberty. Men who loved to walk by themselves, musing on the mysteries of existence, and who shuddered at being disturbed in 1 their meditations, now freely join with millions of their fellows, giving up all thought of personal freedom, all desire of command, with only one ambition---to obey for the good of the whole. The mist rose from the sea to make the arch of promise in the skies, but the storm broke, the rain descended, the floods came and the in- dividualized seadrops hurried back tc swell en masse the rising tides of lib- erty and freedom, not for themselves as individuals, but for the whole hu- man race, friend and foe.
 One great lesson of this war may
 be found in this sudden surrender oi
 the individual to an idea. Americas
 national army is made up of millions
 of pronounced individualists. Not
 withstanding this 1t is most harmon
 iously pledged to one idea. And the
 significant thing of it all is tha through this ready sacrifice sell to the whole each member of tht

Mercy For Clifford
 For Fanaily's Sake

Sympathy for his wife and three children, the oldest three years, saved William Clifford of Greenwich, from g severe penalty in the Superior Court today where he pleaded guilty before Judge J. H. Reed to charge of as sault upon Marion Card, of the same place. Clifford was originally charg- ed with criminal assault. Judge Reed, on promise of Clifford to sup port his family, imposed fine of $1O0 and jail sentence of one year, but suspended the Jail sentence and plac- ed Clifford in care of the probation officer.
 Clifford was accused of criminal as- sault upon Marion Card, 22 years old, deaf and dumb, in Greenwich, last July.
