England'sA Air
Pilots ShOu
Up Foe Flyers

With the British Army in France
May 11.--(By the Associated
Press. There has been much air
fighting during the last few days
and the British airmen have fully
sustained the great reputation they
established early in the war.
ed in which the British triumphed
over greater numbers of the ad-
versary. All of these stories vary
only as to details.
Several days ago near Ypres, one
British machine attacked five Ger
mans single-handed. The Britisher
engaged one enemy and fought hi,n
until he turned and fell. The En-
glish pilot then went after anoth-
er German and pressed the attack
so hard that the enemy was forced
into a nose spin in an attempt to
escape The ruse was futile, how
ever, for the Britisher followed
him down, firing steadily into the
helpless German machine until the
later finally turned on its back
and fell plummet-like. Another
Britisher plane was attacked by
six enemy machines which came
at it from below and behind. The
British observer opened fire at
close range, riddling the leading
German machine which dived ami
then burst into flames. This fin
ished the work of the British pilot,
who got away safely.
In addition to destroying eight of
the 20 German airplanes which
were engaged so successfully on
Tuesday by two British machines,
IL, British aviators sent down five
others damaged. The battle began
when the British aviators sent
down five others damaged. The
battle began when the British avi-
ators attacked seven German
planes. Two other enemy forma-
tions were caught, raising the to-
tai of German machines to 20.
In and out among the large en-
envy force these two planes with
their gallant crews swirled and
charged. working their rapid fire
guns like mad. One of the Brit
ishers got on the tail of a big
German machine and riddled il
with bullets. The enemy airplana
hung quiyering in the air, and
then, turning its nose toward the
earth, crashed down with shells OF
flames bursting from 1t.
Then seven German machines
. were shot to pieces in rapid sue
cession and took the final plunge
three of them leaving a wake OF
fire and black smoke to tell the
story OF the terrible fate suffered
by the men. The five other enemy
machines forced TO abandon th1
fight because of their crippled con-
ditions, were seen to dive away in
the hope OF reaching the ground
safely.
Thirty minutes had sufiiced for
! the two British machines to ac-
complish all this. Only seven oi
the 20 enemy planes remained In
| the air The British had used uI
all their ammunition in the furious
! melee. however, and there was
nothing TO do but withdraw. whict
1 they did in safety.

80, ten times worse than traitors
death,
VIII be your sons black shame
II he shall find
That you were blind
And furnished his family name.
"But should he find that you gave all
Without shadow of blame,
You can greet your boy
With tears of joy,
You kept the home affairs afiame,"
Let us tonight dedicate to our
selves as did our brothers at James
town when they agreed to work and
to pray for the success of our arms
on the bloody chessboard of Europe.
Let us not forget that when we over
throw the dynasties of Germany and
Austria, not only do we win, but the
German people in Germany and
Austria also win. Our victory will be
the end of autocracy on earth and let
us prepare for the day when by our
friendly councils we can save our
brothers in Germany from the horrors
of anarchy.
"Just one closing word: If by any
possibility the Central powers should
win and truth be crushed to earth for
a time, then will come the great dan
ger in our own land of racial hostility
such as the world has never seen, un-
less we Americans of German blood
from this moment so conduct our
selves that no one can question the
depth and the breadth and the self
sacrifice of our patriotism. Let us to-
night dedicate our lives, our fortunes
and our sacred honor that America
may win"
