Captain Halls Fate
After rHuht Unknown

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, Tuesday, May 7.-(By the AS
ISOLATED ress).-After a thrilling bat
tie with enemy airplanes ten miles north
Of Pont-A-Mousson, Captain James Nor
man Hall. one of the leading American
aviators, made a spiral dive for the
earth. and was last seen close to the
ground. apparently trying to land. His
subsequent fate is unknown.
Captain Hall, with two others, was
patroling this morning between st. Mi
hiel and Pont-A-Mousson. When they
were over Paguy-Sur-Moselle, four enc
my Albatross airplanes, painted with
black and white stripes. were seen.
The Americans attacked, Captain Hall
singing out one of the enemy and driv-
ing him downward while firing with his
machine gun. The pair made spiral
dive from 5000 TO 1000 meters, when
the German suddenly reversed his ma
chine and started to rise. In a quick
turn he poured a deadly stream of ma
chine gun bullets into the bottom of
Halls machine. Captain Hall promptly
came out of the spiral and made a dive
for the earth. He was last seen at
tempting to complete this maneuver.
In the meantime, the enemy machines
that the other Americans had engaged
dropped toward the ground. 1t is I'M
known what happened to them. but two
of them apparently were in distress. No
credit for a victorysis given the Ameri-
cans, because official verification Of the
destruction of the enemy was impos-
sible.
CAPTAIN Halls machine had painted on
its side the first American airplane in
sigma to appear on the battle line. 1t
was i'm the form of hat in the ring"
sign. showing a starry striped high hat,
usually pictured on Uncle Sam, sur
rounded by a golden ring.
Despite the bad weather. German ma
chimes were out in force. Alarm after
alarm was answered by the Americans.
Lieutenant Cunningham engaged one ma
chine. when five more of the enemy
Joined in. The lieutenant kept up the
tight until his machine gun damned,
when he returned TO the American lines
with ten bullet holes in his plane.
The usual German game was to have
small number of planes appear near the
American lines, while a reserve of four
or five machines remained out of sight
until the American came into action.
The reserves would then swoop down
i'm an attempt to wipe out the Ameri
rams. The American aviators met this
by answering alarms with twice the
number of machines il was reported the
Germans had.
American aviators used Newport pur-
suit machines as their fighting weapons.
The Americans engaged in photography
and artillery regulating work also had
to fight. Two Americans protecting a
firing machine were attacked by two
Germans. The fight lasted for half an
hour and ended when one German went
webbing to the ground about three
l.iIometers within the German lines. The
fight took place about two klometers
behind the German positions.
As a result of todays activity IL is
believed the Germans sent some of their
best fiiers TO this sector to attempt to
annihilate the American flying force.

enemy, who has nothing remarkable in,
military achievement to show for his
heavy losses of the past seven weeks
The edging-in process was continued
by the British last night in the impoF-
tant sector east of Amiens between the
Ancre and the Somme, the Australians
following up their recent successes
here. The operation was a purely local
one, but it resulted in anchoring the
British line more firmly on the ridge
between Sailly-le-Sec and Morlehcourt
and thus putting it in a better position
to resist the expected German assault.
The artillery fire continues violent
on important sectors. The Germans are.
Smelling heavily the Anglo-FTench front
southwest of Ypres and the sector south
of the Somme between Villers-Breton-
neux and Hailles These sectors saw
the heavy fighting previous to the Ger
man repulse north of Mont KENNEL
nine days ago. Enemy fire against the
southern side of the Arras sector, which
lies north of Albert, also has been
intense.
Except for fruitless patrol raids by
the Austrians and limited artillery fire
there has been no activity on the
italian front. The Austrians still with
mold their attack and neither Vienna
nor Berlin has said anything of IL for
the past several days.

The action occurred shortly before

The ship barely missed the U-boat

then submerging and the guns were
brought to bear, with the result that
the first shot hit some distance ahead
of her wake.
Three shots in all were fired, after
which the Tidewater proceeded without
again seeing the submarine, although
all preparations were made for later
attacks.

Allied Troops Are Ready

NEW YORK, May S.-(Summary of
European Cables to the Associated
Press. along the battle lines in
northern France the allied troops still
await the shock of renewed heavy fight

rainy weather has interfered a great

he has not been able to perfect his ar
rangements because of the difficulties
of bringing his supplies over the battle

Having gained some advantageous po-
