With the American Army in France. May 25.-The activities of the Ameri- can air squadron operating in the sec tor northwest of Foul seem to have had results even more effective than was anticipated. When it first began its work there were between 30 and 50 summonses to activity coming into our aviators daily Gradually the number of calls has dwindled until for several days the average has been only two day.
 From strictly technical, military standpoint the operations of the Amer ican airmen have two objects The first is to kill. off the opposing air- men. while the second is to keep the enemy from flying his machines on the American side of the line and thus preventing him from taking photo graphs. regulating artillery fire. or in any way securing information. The American airmen have done much toward accomplishing both objects

GERMAN SUBMARINE MENACE IS BEING
 RAPIDLY OVERCOME
French Minister of Marine Presents Further Proof of This to War Commit
 tees of Senate

Paris, May 26.-As proof that the al- rine menace, Georges Leygues, the min ister of marine, informed the army and navy war committees of the Senate yesterday that Great Britain and the United States alone had constructed in April 10000 tons more shipping than was sunk by the enemy.
 The minister declared also that means employed to rid the seas of subma- rines had become increasingly effective since January and had given decisive results.
 The minister pointed out the tremend- ous strides recently made by the allies in repairing ships damaged by tor pedoes or mines and declared that CO., ordination between the allied nations had become so smooth during the last four months that the tonnage restored to the sea exceeded 5oo,0oo tons week ly. Great Britain, he said had re- paired 59S,0o0 tons in one week re- gently, while France had effected re- pairs upon 100000 tons in one month. The increased building and more effi- cient and speedier repair work was constantly bringing better results in the transport of troops and supplies.
 As to the increasing destruction of submarines, which was constant, the minister said the figures for April were excellent. showing an increase over the preceding months but were far sur passed by the results known to have been attained thus far in May. Jacques Dumesnil, under secretary of aero- nautics, announced to the committed men that the programme for the con- struction of naval machines prepared in 1917 had already been equalled in 1918. but new and more intensive ef fort was planned
