HEADQUARTERS OF THE TEAL IAN ARMY, Aug. 1.-(Correspond ence of the Associated Press) - Victory of the Allies is a certainty in my opinion, and am sure the American Army will be the one to deal the knockout blow" said to the correspondent of The Associated Press, Major General Eben Swift, last year in charge of Camp Cor don. Atlanta, Georgia, and now com manding officer of the American military expedition to Italy.
 q tell you we will win so soon as we get enough men over and these men get hold of the fighting ideas peculiar to this war, as they are rapidly doing now through asso citation with the French, English and Italian troops"
 I do not believe in bragging. prefer to admit all the claims the enemy cares to make for himself But giving all the credit due the Germans for their pains, I maintain we are going to smash them know the American man, what kind of soldier he is. and insist that he is going to turn out most for midable fighter standing comparison with any. soldier in Europe. I have visited the armies of the Allies and have seen the kind of men they have, and I am sure we are going to be, proud of our soldiers when they have had the advantage of learning from our Allies and at the same timo doing some fighting with the enemy itself. The Germans are not fools and believe they already fear us. f
 "One of the big factors in making our army great is that of discipline. The men commanding our army are said, to be merciless in matters af- fecting discipline, in questions of putting the right officer, in the right place. of eliminating favoritsm and unfit men. and this is as it should

BRITISH AIR FORGE HEAD QUARTERS IN FRANCE, Aug. 13.- There have been many signs recent ly of extreme uneasiness by the Ger man High Command regarding the increasing ascendancy of the Allied airmen on the Western front. This has been especially evident since the American airmen have begun to appear in force and have proved themselves of the same mettle as the French and British flyers.
 It has become a commonplace among British airmen that their op- ponents will not face combat in the afr unless in strengfh1 Of fhree of four to one, and German prisoners have told of German airmen being punished by their flight commanders for returning to their airdomes stlll laden with bombs and ammunition which they had been ordered to drop over the British lines. It Is becom- ing increasingly hard to find Ger man airman over the Allied side of the lines in the daytime, as is prov cd by the Germans own admission that when they do manage to bring down an Allied machine it is almost always over their own territory
 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. This, while always imaginative and rarely accurate, has of late been singularly wild and full of fiction regarding the situation in the air, In an effort to counteract facts of the situation, the German wireless editors make the widest statements, bordering almost on hu- mor
 Thus recent copy of the German wireless report says: Superior methods of flying and greater skill have secured for the German Air Force successes on a scale such as were never known before" The. same statement refers in glowing terms to the reckless spirit" of the pilots of the German chasing planes--a phrase which provoked much merrl- ment among British. French and American airmen. who of late have found that even one of the recon naisance machines can rely on put ting to flight any German machine which is not accompanied by three or four of it's own kind
 "If Germany is really pleased with her air record for the past few months" remarked British Squad ron leader to the correspondent, there is no reason for us to com plain. We ask nothing better than that Germany should go on having the same kind of success in the fu- ture months
 He took as an example the report for May. which lay open on his desk. This report" he explained. deals with the British aid fighting alone. and has no reference to the fine air work of the French, Italians and Americans. During the month the British brought down 298 German ma chimes in aerial combat, and 20 by fire from the ground. while 100 more were driven down out of control and probably destroyed. During the same period, 12S British machines failed to return to their airdomes."

U. S. AVIATORS MAINTAIN
NIGHT PATROL AT FRONT
Attract Attention of Allied Airmen
Along the Mouse by Utiliz-
ing Searchights.

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMIES
NORTHWEST OF vERDUN, Sunday,
October 20 (by the Associated Press).
American aviators. by inaugurating
night patrols along the Mouse, have
attracted much attention among the
airmen of other nations. Under the
present plan the air forces are always
subject to call from the front, where
observers or listeners report by wire
when the motor of German airplane
II heard approaching the American
lines.
As soon as one of these reports is
received the American searchlights
begin sweeping the sky. The Ameri-
can night patrols arrive at the same
time. In event the German machine
Is located by the ray of a. earchlight
the American machines attack until
the enemy is downed or makes his es-
cape.
On Friday night, when the system
was inaugurated, five aviators started
seeking any German machine that
might be about. When an American
searchlight picks up an American
machine prearranged signal is
given. eliminating danger that the
American might be shot down by his
own men. When the airmen are aloft
their airdromes are brilliantly lighted,
SO that they may return without
trouble.

EARTHQUAKE TOLL, 200;
DAMAGE IS S., 600, 600
Porto Rico Has New Mayor to Re
store 0rder-Police Force Labor
ers to Aid in Relief.

SAN JUAN, P. R., October II (Thurs-
day)SLatest estimates on the loss of
life In the recent earthquake which
shook Porto Rico place the total at
not more than 200. mostly at or near
Mayaguez. The property damage is
estimated at 100000. Through train
service between San Juan and Maya
guez was resumed last night.
Because of unsatisfactory measures
taken to protect life and property at
Mayaguez, after the earthquake, Gov.
wager has appointed a new mayor for
the town with instructions to pro-
coed Immediately to restore order
there. Until yesterday laborers in the
town demanded five times their regu-
lar wage for emergency and relief
work. They went to work, however,
when the chief Of police issued orders
that the men must work at reasonable
rates or face the consequences of
drastic police action.
The United States coast and geodetic
survey station at Viequez Island, off
the east coast of Porto Rico, reports
the cause Of the earthquake as proba-
bly, due to a shifting of rock. Under
the pressure of the first shock the
seismogFaph pins became dislodged
and it took nine minutes to readjust
them. AS a result, the station was
unable to make record of the earth
shocks.
