ROOSEVELT cor HUN PLANE.
CoIonel's Son Shot Down One of Three

With the American Forces on the Marne. July l1.--Lieutenant Quentin Roosevelt, the youngest son of former President Roosevelt, brought down his first German airplane yesterday aft ernoon in fight north of Chateau Thierry.
 Lieutenant Roosevelt with three other pilots was flying at height of five thousand yards eight miles inside the German lines when the machines became separated. Soon after, Roose- welt saw three planes which he thought were his companions and started to join them. He was close, ap- preaching the machines from the rear, when he saw his mistake, for the planes were German Roosevelt im- mediately opened fire and after firing fifty shots traeers penetrated the fu- silage of the nearest German machine and it went into a spinning nose dive, falling thru the clouds two thousand yards below.

Air Mastery Deeisfxesy Shown in Al Depzrtments-Cose Quarters ard Straight Shooting Wins
 Over Boehes.

With the British Army in France. July ii.-supericrity in the air, elean-cus and unqaestionzble, rests with the British flying men today. There have been periods in times past when t seemed that a very slight ad- dition of strength to either one side or the other might tip the balance temporarily, but no such period ex- ists now. British airnen are supreme
 Not cnly have the British fiers been maintaining g decided upper hand in the intense fighting in the air, but the work of bombing squzdrons has far exceeded that of the enemy ir vigor and results Tn the more spectacular field of aerial fighting, the British have bounded hostile pilots until the greater part of their battles have occurred east of German lines and in numerous engagements, staged every day when the weather permit ted. great numbers of hostile ma chimes have been destroyed. One Brit ish aviator alone has doEned 9 ma chimes in the last month and other of his comrades are not far behind in the total
 Bombing Operations
 The work of bombing squadrons has been growing steadily and the British have been reaching further and furth- CT Into German back areas in search Of military objectives. Day and night squadrons of British planes have kept up an almost endless bombardment of important positions and their ae- curacy in bomb dropping Is testified to in scores of photographs of de- stru=siye hits.
 Not only have railways, airdomes and other vital objeetives been effect ually bombed, but the loss of life among German troops in concentra- ton camps has been exceedingly heavy. Captured documents bear tes- timony of this and prisoners admit it. At Close Quarters.
 The British have consistently con ducted their raids from an exceeding ly low height, sometimes coming to NAAitH HitH ItrN O1 lNt EEU0I8l t1 loose bombs The Germans on the other hand seldom venture below l0,- 900 feet because of their fear of the British anti-aircraft defenses. which have reached a state of perfection never before achieved.
 The straight shooting of British hombers is exemplified by the work of pilot who attacked two German trains near Hermines the other day. He obtained a direct hit on the first train and then blew up the track in front of it Diving on another train nearby he knocked two trucks of the track with explosives. Having stalled these trains he proceeded to rake them vieiously with his machine gun Incidentally he opened fire with his machine gun on seven other trains shortly afterwards with good results. There have been few infantry battles 2f late on the British front.

Valuable Advice for Mena Readers. Many woman endures with noble patience the daily misery of backaehe, pains about the hips, blue, nervous spells. dizziness and urinary disord- CTS, hopeless of relief because she doesn't know what is the matter.

 A quarter of an ounce costs very lit tie at any store which handles drugs, but this is said to be sufficient to rid one's feet of every hard or soft corn or callus.
 You apply just a few drops on the tender, aching corn or toughened cal lus and instantly the soreness is re- iieved, and soon the corn or eaIlus is so siriveled that 1t lifts right out without rain It is a sticky substance which dries when applied and never infames or even irritates the sur rounding skin

 The document contains an aecoun. cf g conversation between Field Mar sn&i von M4sks.sc= ard shs Rumzn- ian military leaders Wkirh occurred shortly after the Rnzznszr peace treaties were signed Won Macen- sen declared that the failure of the kum4nians to press their advantage In 1916 changed the whole course of the var. He said that his entire army could easily have been pockesed and compelled 10 surrender, and this might have been followed sy a separate peace with Bulgaria which would have separated Turkey from her allies and changed the whole balance of power in the east.
 The Runanian failure, the memor- andum states, was not due to the military leaders, but the shortsight- eGneSs of the politicians at Buchzr- est
 In September, 1916, General Aver escu. commander-in-chief of the Ru- n4anian army and by far The abIest 0f all the Rumanian generals, had taken an army of four divisions and had crossed the Danube into the heart of the enemy country. He had found a clear path into the heart of the Ger man-Bulgarian Dobruja and had pen etrated l5 miles with view of cut ting of all their communications and striking them from the rear. General Averescu's own position was safe, for behind him eight divisions of support and endorsements, including Serbian and Rumanian troops of the first quality, were stationed.
 But Avereseu had neglected to cut the wires which connected him with the politicians in the Rumanian cap ital, and had only gotten fifteen miles beyond the Danube when there came Q peremptory order to withdraw his forces. It was an absolute comm from the war cabinet. Averescu tried to reason with his political chieftains over long distance telephone wire. but the politicians had decided and re- fused to change the decision. The cab inet, it appeared, felt that there was danger of German armies on the oth- CT side of Rumania--the Carpathian front-breaking thru and doing a great deal of harm at time when Averescu's army was far afeld. The politicians timidly preferred defen- sive policy to a daring offensive and after day or two of delay, Averescu and his army withdrew from their commanding position on Aaekens0n's rear and retired across the Danube The Germans were much puzzled by this maneuver and never were able to secure satisfactory explanation of this withdrawal of their enemy at the very moment when his cause seemed won. Von Mackensen was an old pre-war friend of Averescu and knew the latter's abilities too well to underestimate them.
 This was why Mackensen sought out Averescu durign the peace par leys a few weeks ago in Bucharest.
 Why did you withdraw" asked von Mackensen- If you had gone forward you most certainly would have bagged the whole of the Bull garian and German armies in the Dobruja."
