AIR FIGHTING
PAST WEEK MOST
IMPORTANT OF ALL

| London, Aug. i6-Measured by the
number of machines engaged, the in
tensity of the fighting and the magni-
tude of the losses inflicted on the en-
ey the fighting in the air during the
past week was the most formidable OF
the war.
Some Of the most severest conflicts
occurred on August In the sector
between Albert and the Amiens-Roye
road where the German air forces were
increased considerably shortly after the
opening of the allied offensive. The
air lighting resulted in the destruction
of Is enemy ships while II others were
driven down out of control. Fifty
British machines did not return.
During the six succeeding days 185
enemy airplanes were destroyed and SO
driven down out of control. making
total of 500 German machines for
the week compared TO 1913 British air
planes missing
In the same period British bomb
ing squadrons continually attacked en-
envy airdromes, railway and other mil
itary detectives. dropping more than
800 tons of bombs and causing great
damage. Low flying about machines
raked the enemys congested roads on
retreat with machine gun fire, inflicting
many casualties.
A notable feature of the aerial oper-
ations was the virtually continuous
night and day bombing OF the enemy
bridges over the Somme. This greatly
hampered the supply and reinforce
ment of the German troops. The
weeks work also included numDer
of destructive raids into Germany.

CURIOUS OVER OCCUPATION
Germans Guessing at Length Of Time
Yanks VIII Stay.

U,ondon Times-Phil. Ledger Cop. Cable)
Treves, Dec. 10.--Gen. Pershing's
proclamation to the inhabitants Of the
occupied portion of Germany follows the
same lines as the proclamations issued
by the commanders of the British and
French armies of occupation.
Stringent measures to preserve order
undoubtedly are necessary. as due to the
rehabilitation of the German army the
inhabitants cannot be considered as an
ordinary civilian population.
Nearly three fourths of the men on
the streets were in uniform only few
days ago.
1t Is easy to pick out German officers
In multi. These are the men who for
four years devastated, pillaged and raw
aged France and Belgium and also. with
true German cunning. will try to estab-
lish cordial relations with the Ameri-
cans upon whose generosity they rely
to obtain relaxation of the armistice and
favorable peace terms.
AS American penetration proceeds
further toward the Rhine the attitude OF
the people Is reported to become more
sulIen, hut without actual manifesta-
tions of hostility or outward display of
animosity. There is great curiosity on
all sides as to the duration of the occu-
patton. Some Germans think 1t will last
few weeks, but other fear it may con-
tinue for quarter of century.

in the general attitude Of the fnhab,

were few drawn blinds to be seen
The streets were lined with people
among them German officers and sol.
diers In uniform. A great many oi
them were manned. Here and there
were many faces which plainly
showed hate. but the mass of the
people watched the procession indif-
ferently. Some of the people, how.
ever. viewed the invaders with evil
dent interest. and on rare occasions
with manifest sympathy.

BERLIN TRIES TO
PLACE BLAME
Everyone Accusing Everyone
Else Of Starting Riots.
Many Casualties.
WOULD H A N G EBERT
Others Demand Death Of DR.
Liebknecht-Three Fac
tors at Odds.

(London Timcs.Phil. Ledger Cop. Cablc.)s
The Hague. Dec. 10.-Everyone Is
accusing everyone else OF being the
originator of the disturbances in Ber-
lin last Friday and 1t Is difficult to
ascertain who really was responsible,
the reactionaries, the government, or
the Spartacus group. The immediate
cause was the discovery that men,
bers of the soldiers council, who
claimed to represent the soldiers at
tho front, were not delegates, SO the
soldiers council resolved to reject
them. Three meetings OF the SOL
diers at the front were summoned
as protest that they intended to make
joint demonstration. When the
demonstrators had combined with
supporters of the Spartacus group
and were marching along, they found
themselves opposed by troops appar-
emily faithful to the government,
armed with machine guns.
Another account says that while
the deputation of soldiers was gone
to the chancellor's palace to ask Herr
Ebert about vast executive council,
Herr Liebknecht appeared In front OF
the house of deputies and wanted to
talk to the members of the eXecu-
tive council but was refused permits
sion. Liebknecht and Rosa Luxem-
burg were arrested. but were de-
tained only a brief time.
Troops Occupy Station.
Uondon Timcs.Phil. Ledger Cop. Cable.)
London, Dec. 10.-Dispatches re-
ceived in London today regarding the
situation in Berlin indicate the DEM
onstration was continuing on Sun
day without further rioting.
A Zurich telegram says troops are
occupying the Stettin railway station
in Berlin and a guard occupying
some other stations and public build
ings. Troops also occupy the uni-
versity.- One unconfrWed- --dispateh
reports that fighting in the streets
continues.
There seems to be general agree
ment in the dispatches that what
ever was the immediate cause OF the
shooting, the real trouble was a
genuine attempt by the extreme So
cialists to overthrow the government
which cost twenty seven lives and
fifty injured.
A part of the populace is demand
ing the murder Of DR.. Liebknecht,
another party Is demanding the
hanging Of Herr Ebert to the near
est lamp post.
Have Best Organizers.
A Copenhagen dispatch received
today says the Spartacus group has
gathered all the best organizers In
Berlin. including the Russian bolshe-
vik leader. Levin, who has been agi-
tating bolshevism in"the Rhine prov
inces. The government. fearing new
revolts. has 10000 Of the republican
guard ready. Simultaneous Sparta
Gus efforts are for counter revolu-
tionary agitation which is energetic
but is considered less dangerous.
The result of the disturbances here
is the beginning Of n newspaper agi-
tation urging the occupation of Ber-
