| opportunity to do big things for the
great cause. A million boys behind

vice and their sacrifice, help to pro-
vide recreation, home comforts and
opportunities Tor study and recrea-
tion for those who are fighting our
| battles.

rollment will be 20 years. while the

BRITISH AIR
FORCE ACTIVE
Amazing Feats Recorded
During Week, Despite
Gales.

London. Sept 20. - The work OF the
Royal Air Force last week was rather
hindered by gales and transforms, but
at Intervals intrepid airmen ascended
with valuable results. Pilots and OBJ
servers both show amazing bravery
and our airmen's reputation has be-
come such that the Germans will only
attack them when at least two to one.
In recent encounter four Fokkers
attacked British plane. One of them
was quickly sent crashing to the
ground, but the petrol tank of the
British machine was pierced by bull
let. The observer climbed out and
stopped the hole with his handker-
chief thus preventing the petrol es-
Gaping. Although exposed to heavy
fire he remained on the wing OF the
machine until the pilot was able u
get them out of danger and land the
machine safely.
Having brought down one enemy
machine the pilot of another British
plane attacked second German
scout, which collapsed in the air. but
the British pilot was wounded in the
leg. his petrol tank was pierced, and
the fuselage of his machine caught on
fire. He continued to steer his ma
chine while the observer kept down
the flames with an extinguisher. As
the machine landed II blazed up. but
the observer managed to lift the pilot
clear and carry him TO safety.
Defeats Thirty Planes.
Another British pilot and his OBJ
server became separated from their
formation by clouds and were then
attacked by Fokkers. The pilot saw
about thirty Fokkers below him and
Immediately dived into the middle OF
them, firing necessarily. Three OF
the enemy were driven down and
then four others attacked him from be-
hind. but the observer managed to
shoot two down. These two fell, burn
ing furiously. The remainder then
retired to a respectable distance and
the British airmen few home safely
Seven Fokker biplanes attacked the
pilot and observer on an artillery pa
troll, but though they were seven to
one they few away when they found
their FIRE was returned.
