EXCEL ENEMY IN AIR
Supremacy Of Allies Worries Ger.

eoehe Stories Of Exploits Cause Much
Amusement Among Allied
Flyers. -.-.@-..@3

British Air Force Headquarters in
France.-There have been many signs
recently of extreme uneasiness by the
German high command regarding the
increasing ascendancy of the allied air.
men on the western front. This has
been especially evident since the Amer
lean airmen have begun to appear in
force and have proved themselves OF
the same mettle as the French and
British flyers.
1t has become commonplace among
British airmen that their opponents
will not face combat in the air unless
in strength Of three or four to one.
Perhaps the most striking evidence
Of German official anxiety regarding
the allied superiority in the air is to be
found in the official German wireless
news. In an effort to counterfeit the
depressing effect Of the real facts of
the situation, the German wireless ed
itors make the widest statements, bor-
dering almost on humor.
Thus a recent copy Of the German
wireless report says: Superior meth
DDS Of flying and greater skill have Sc
cured for the German air force sue
cesses on q scale such as were never
known before" The same statement
refers in glowing terms to the "rec-
less attacking spirit" of the pilots of
the German chasing planes--a phrase
which provoked much merriment
among the British, French and Amer
lean airmen. III H..
eff Germany is really pleased, with
her air record for the last few
months" remarked British squadron
leader to the correspondent, "there is
no reason for us to complain. We ask
nothing better than that Germany
should go on having the same kind OF
success in future months" boy.
He took as an example the report for
May, which lay open on his desk.
'This report" he explained, IDEALS
with the British air fighting alone, and
has no reference to the fine air work
of the French, Italians and Americans.
During the month the British brought
down 1913 German machines in aerial
combat, and twenty by fire from the
ground, while 100 more were driven
down out of control and probably de-
stroyed. During the same period 12S
British machines failed to return to
their airdromes."
