BOMBING RAIDS OVER HUN LINE
 CRIPPLE ENEMY

Behind the British Lines in France The British aviation communique freqently contains a brief line to record that "drect hits were ob- tained upon an enemy dump at -" some point behind the German lines. This colorless announcemnt may seem to the reader in America noth- ing more than the record of a dull piece of routine, but the deed itself is different from it's record.
 American airmen attached to the British squadrons have long since found out that the business of bomb ing dumps" often is exiciting and spectacular work Moreover, the importance of it's effect upon enemy plans and operations can hardly be exaggerated. A well-aimed hit on store of German ammunition may destroy the work of many months in the munition factories, and cripple numerous batteries for many long days.
 A British airman, Lieutenant w. A. Barnes, has given The Associated Press the following account of q ! recent 58-minute raid on a German dump as characteristic of this form of activity:
 | "On this particular night there was not enough moonlight for a l long raid, so the target given us was German intuition dump. We welcomed the change, for, naturally, the strain of long distance raids into Germany, night after night, becomes bit wearing. Dumps are of course, situated as near as possible to the firing line; and so mean short raids.
 Dumps are by no means easy targets to find at night, for they are seldom situated near any de- finite landmarks, and are usually we'll camouflaged. By the study of maps and photographs, however. we had pretty well located the posi-. tion of this one, and started out ;o raid with high hopes of success.
 "We flew almost due east from the aerodrome. At the end of the fifty minutes, we could just make out the outline of sheds. This was good, but we let out a parachute flare to light up the ground, and make sure we were over the target This promptly dispelled all doubts, for the Hun searchlights opened u, at once, and hail of machine gun bullets leaped up from the ground

BISHOP CRIMONT ON

Very Reverend Father Crimont, bishop in charge of the Catholic missions in Alaska, was a passenger on the steamer Reliance, bound for Fairbanks, where he expects to re- main for few days before resuming his travels for the season.
 Bishop Crimont is on his annual tour of all of the Roman Catholic missions in Alaska. He had just concluded visits to the church build ings at Holy Cross and the missions at Nulato and Panama, boarding the Reliance at the last mentioned point for the run up to Fairbanks.
 The bishop was much impressed with the growth of Nenana and thought it was a very fine looking town. He will probably pay a short visit to Nenana before going out to the States in the fall, where he usually spends the winter.
