We are fighting for Truth. for Liberty.

fighting 20 deliver the oppressed from
the worst oppression with which civili-

that your men and ours, with the allied

who gave His life that the world
might be free from the tyranny of sin

said that if we had not had this valu-

been able TO remedy the situation by
the logical and normal use of our avia-

George Clemenceau, made this declara-
ton before the Tribune a few days
ago.
During the recent offensive the
French aviation rendered the most val
liable services. The scouting planes
reported the concentrations of enemy
troops and the bombing of the lines of
communication was effectively carried
out by the night and day bombing
squadrons.
a powerful attack being prepared
by the enemy on June was broken
up with heavy losses before it could
even be launched. Scouting machines
reported the concentration of troops
and material. Immediately 40 bomb
ing planes were sent out and flying
at low altitude dropped tonc of bombs
A panic broke out and the Germans
fed in all directions, leaving behind
them large number of dead.
