American Aviators
Increasingly Active in
Aerial Raids on Huns
BY Associated Press.

With the American Army on the
Lorraine Front, Friday, Aug. 3d.
American bombing machines this
morning successfully attacked rail-
way yards and buildings at Contains.
Several direct bursts were observed
and enemy pursuit planes followed
the invading Americans back to their
lines but did not attack them.
AT noon American airmen dropped
bombs on the railway yards at Lon
guyon, scoring several direct hits
Late in the afternoon Contains was
again raided but poor visibility made
it difficult to ascertain whether the
bombing was effective. Enemy anti
aircraft guns were active against the
American raiders in ali three of the
days excursions. All of Our ma
chimes returned.
One lone American aviator today
attacked a German. who was diving
at French balloon. Despite the fact
that there were six German machines
above him. the American forced the
German machine into nose dive.
The six other Germans then attacked
the American and forced him to de-
scend. He landed behind the Ameri-
can lines uninjured. J

Some Gossip Heard Among
TheNew-M MadeAir FansWho
Saw the Army Aviators Fly

ing a newspaper man and conse-
quently exceeding bright--exclaimed:
THE airplanes are coming" Sure
enough, there they were, and the
chickens had caught sight of them
and run to cover.
The trip to Minneapolis will take
about four hours. 1t takes about IL
on the train. A supply of gasoline
and oil is awaiting the flyers at
Spencer, Mimi, which will be the
only stop made in the journey. The
distance is about 400 miles.
In a lull during the exhibition at
the Field club golf course a little girl
was heard to exclaim:
Look, mamma, the airships have
scared away all the birdsr'
Whether this was indeed the truth
or not it is fact that there was not
a bird in sight during the flights. Pos
sibly his was due to the fact that no
body was looking at the ground for
birds, but several remarked the CO.
incidence.
One OF the Fort Omaha balloon
lieutenants asked an aviation lieuten-
ant whether he had ever been up in a
balloon and how he liked it. "Yes.
I've been up, but it seemed awfully
dull and uninteresting to me-" said
the aviator. II don't see how a man
can stand it to be up there three or.
four hours. l should think he'd be
bored to death" The balloonist,
however, stuck up" for his branch
and contended that lit doesn't bore
you when you are busy all the time"
Maybe not, but | really wouldn't
care for it. Too slow" said the avi-
ator.
The big crowd did some damage
out at the Field club yesterday. just
how much damage was done could
not be estimated last night. People
crossing the greens, despite the ropes
put about them to prevent it, and
hundreds of others who climbed up
and down the bunkers, and some even
who opened the wire doors and tramp
ed across the tennis courts, left their
mark on the grounds which will have
to be put in shape again. But, as
one member put it, "the club won't
kick" They consider it is another
bit" in the work of winning the
war.

M0DESTY MARKS
CHARACTERS OF
ARMY AVIATORS.
Joy Riders Of Sky Dislike to
Relate Incidents Of Expert
ences and Insist Science
of Flying is Easy.

Modesty, liEeableness and an ex-
alted pride in their profession are out
standing characteristics of flying men
as noted in the aviators of the Ameri-
can-British aviation tour who flew in
the Omaha sky yesterday.
None of them will talk about him
self though most of them have lived
eventful lives.
Gen. c. F. Lee of the British Royal
Flying corps, for example, is an Eng
lish gentleman who was living on his
country estate, riding, hunting and
overseeing farming operations, his
stables and kennels before the war.
He had learned aviation in the army
before he retired to his estate.
When the war started he was one Of
the very first to hurry into the fray
and during those first few critical
months when the German hordes
were swooping down on the CON
temptible English army" he was in the
thick of it. England at that time had
less than 100 aeroplanes. mere hand
full compared with what she has now
General Lee was one of Britain's S
most successful flyers and did great
service and service OF the most dang
erous kind.
He has been so busy since then
that he has never slept in his home.
He flew down from London twice but
only for few hours. He hopes to get
back to the front in about FIVE weeks
The general who has charge of bomb
ing has asked to have him returned to
the active forces and the general is
eager to 60.
To Bomb Berlin.
Asked whether it would be possible
to drop bombs on Berlin, General
Lee said it was possible to make the
800-mile flight, but the results would
hardly warrant it at this time.
There are many factories in Ber-
lin that would make military targets"
he added with smile. "and there's a
beast lives there that a chance shot
might get"
Lieuteant Carroll, American flyer,
said nothing about himself, but from
other sources it is learned he was
a great composer of operas before the
war. He spent some years in China,
where he published a newspaper at
Shanghai. Then he lived in Japan.
Returning to America he composed
the score for numerous successful
operas, including $50 Long, Lefty"
and Canary Cottage" The royalties
from these run into many thousands
of dollars a year.
AS for pride in his profession, he
said:
"I'm only a lieutenant, but if any
one were to offer me colonelcy in
any other branch of the service !
wouldn't hesitate a minute to state
that would remain as / am"
There is great esprit de corps
among the flyers. When they met at
the Fontenelle after flying from Des
Moines they shook each other by both
hands, hugged and almost kissed each
other.
There is no spirit of nervousness
in the air. General Lee said, only the
anxiety to get to where they are
going.
Omaha daily bee., 1918-09-01

These were the attacking planes for
soon they swooped down upon the
four below, which scattered like
frightened rabbits.
This brought the prettiest man.
euver OF the day.
Incidentally it was perfect day
for flying, There was slight wind
and the sky was clear except for a
few heecy clouds which drifted above
the horizon like cotton-bobs strung
on a trick wire Not once was the
sun obscured. Far to the north three
sausage" balloons hung stationary
as though scntinels on guard
Indeed, SO far as the setting was
concerned, and il the little clouds
had been pufs OF shrapnel smoke. il
might have been a lazy day on the
western 'front.'
The crowd seemed to sense this,
and after all it lent a subtle air OF
seriousness to the whole perform
ance. No one forgot that we are at
war.
r Stage Sky Duel.
Two of the machines--a scout and
larger plane-became separated.
And they fought it outl They fought
il out for all the world as two planes
would have to fight it uot if they
clashed above the shell-scarred battle
fields over there.
First one attacked and then the
other. They looped, and side-slipped.
and dipped, and fell-each apparently
striving to gain the advantage over
the other. And they kept it up until
they had demonstrated every move
in an actual air battle to the en-
thusiastic people below.
Then they broke away, swooped
low over the course, the leather
helmeted pilots waving a farewell,
and streaked toward the distant land
ing field.
That was all. ,t
But it was an exhibition that
brought home with a bang the con-
vincing realization that airmen are
not merely sky performers, but. COL
lectively in fighting units, are an in
tegral part of the whole scheme of
winning this war.
Whatever else this air mission is
accomplishing that is one result
which makes the venture worth while.

MAYOR IS GAME
IN TEN.M|NUTE
FLIGHT IN AIR
"Wonderful," Exclaims Smith
After Spin Over City With
Brigadier General Lee
of British Army.

Pale but determined was Mayor
Smith as he walked onto the aviation
landing field yesterday afternoon and
approached the airship In which
Brigadier General Lee, the veteran
British aviator, was preparing to take
him up in the air. --' va ~'
A number of citizens who were in
side the fence of the field passed out
their choicest jests.
s'Jim Dahlman ought to be here to
bid you goodbye" said one. 81
We'll, mayor, goodbye. and if l
never see you again" began John w.
Gamble in his most funereal tone.
t"All form in line TO shake his hands
for the last time" shouted another
wag.
The mayor grinned. General Lee
made the suspense as short as pos
sible. He got out an extra cap, tied
it on the mayors head and mechan-
ician helped the mayor into the seat
OF the big Avro ma :hine and fastened
the strap about him. The general
took the back seat, which is for the
pilot. Only the heads of the men
showed above the body OF the car.
The photographers took their pic
lures, the mechanicians spun the big
propeller and the flying machine sped
down the field and rose gracefully
into the sky.
Speeds Toward City.
Around the field it circled, gaining
height and then sped off across the
city until it became a mere speck in
the distance. ,s.
Soon the machine grew bigger
again and 10 minutes after the start
the general and his passener swooped
down and stood again on the field.
A little round OF applause from the
few inside the fence and the multi
tude outside the fence greeted them,
"Finel Greatl Bullyp exclaimed the
mayor in response to the queries of
friends as to how he liked it. That's
wonderful. Finer than silk"
"You were up an hour and ten
minutes" Howard Baldridge told
him jestingly, -
"Oh. no, not that long," said the
mayor. II don't think ii was more
than 20 minutes" a. .y..
In fact, the mayor was in the air
exactly 10 minutes. .,
Many Are Envious.
And on the ground watching him
were many men who cussed softly
to themselves because they didn't
happen to be mayor so they could be
taken up in the ali. by General Lee
One of these was John w. Gamble,
who had his bid in as alternate for
the mayor. The American flyers are
not permitted to take any civilians
along as passengers.'

not too hot.

in Omaha by train at o'clock Sat-
urday and joined his comrades at the
starting field. He did not fly. He
had Indigestion. resulting from too

Roofs of Omaha's skyscrapers were
popular yesterday afternoon. Swarms
of people dotted every roof and here
and there a sky gazer was startled
to see some daring and hasty youth
sknning up fire escape to a place
of advantage.
Thousands of people came in by
automobile and train from a radius
of Is miles around Omaha to see the
great flying exhibition. The Lincoln
highway from the starting field to
Fairacres was one long procession
Of cars going in both directions,
country people going home and city
people trying to get to the city from
the starting field.
A business man-or rather a
newspaper man-was sitting in his
kitchen about 2 yesterday afternoon
when his chickens began to run
wildly for the henhouse. He was
puzzled for a moment and then-be-

GrieveS Loss of Husband
And Tries to Kill Self

Mrs. Frank Jackson, sol William
street, attempted suicide at J o'clock
last night by shooting herself with a
.32-caliber revolver. She was re-
moved to the Lister hospital and
probably will recover. The bullet en-
tered her left breast dangerously near
the heart, plowed downward through
her lungs and was extracted from
just under the cuticle on the right
side of the spine above the kidneys.
She was attended by Police Surgeon
A. ]. Edstrom. Worry over the loss
of her husband, who was killed about
four months ago, unbalanced her
mind, it is thought. Neighbors say
she has been acting strangely and
talking of suicide for some time.
