Wilson Sees Azores
ON BOARD THE U. $. $. GEORGE WASHINGTON,

VI - Tuesday, Dec. 10 - (By Wireless to the Associated Press) The George Wash ingtOn rounded the Azores this morning, running close in to give the president an opportunity to catch a glimpse of the American naval base.
 At dawn a flotilla of American destroyers from the Brest squadron came over the horizon, and soon after breakfast the islands were sighted. The Portu- guese warships were saluted and returned a salvo of a1 guns.
 The dreadnaught Pennstl- vania broke out signals to the flotilla to follow, and the presidents flag was flown from the George Washington's main peak. The augmented escort then spread out in a broad column and the islands were round ed, the fleet heading toward Brest, which probably will be reached Friday afternoon

bearer and travelling on g, motorcycle
at the rate Of about 40 miles an hour

was overcome, and attributes the fact
that he is living today to a sudden

lay on the ground from an early hour
in the morning, until night, when he
was rescued.

Claims Austria
Is Seeking Peace
CBy Associated Press }

Amsterdam, May 1.-THE hope that
general peace negotiations will follow
the Rumanian peace was expressed
by the Austro- Hungarian foreign
minister, Count Burian, in replying to
an address presented by municipal
officers at Budapest, according to q
dispatch from that city to The Frank
furter Zeitung.
"Our king hitherto has seized every
possibility of peace" said Baron
Burian. "He Is determined emphatt-
cally to seek every opportunity to
conclude, If possible, an honorable
and lasting peace with our enemies.
We are now on the lookout for peace,
without wishing to bind ourselves by
definite and restrictive formulas. Our
determined perseverance has brought
us thus far; with the sword in one
hand and the olive branch in the other
we shall hold on"
The foreign minister said he would
do his utmost to contribute to the at
tainment of this end.

With The British Army In France,
May 11.-There has been much air
fighting during the last few days, and
the British airnen have fully sus-
tanned the great reputation they es-
tabltahed early in the war.
Several days ago near Ypres one
British machine attacked five Ger
mans single handed. The Britisher
engaged one enemy and fought him
until he fled The English pilot then
went after another German and
pressed the attack so hard that the
enemy was forced into a nose spin
in an attempt to escape. The British
followed him down, firing steadily in
to the helpless German machine un-
til the latter finally turned on it's
back and fell pIummet- Anoth-
er British plane was attacked by six
enemy machines which came at it
from below and behind. The British
observer opened fire at close range,
riddling the leading German ma
chine which dived and then burst Inc
to flames. This finished the work of
the British pilot. who got away
safely
But lighting planes are not the
only ones that have been busy. The
British bombing squadronS have
been doing wonderful work destroy
ing railroads, billets, ammunition
dumps and bombing enemy troops
and transports. 3 Tons OF high ex-
plostves have been dropped among
masses Of the enemy at night, caus-
ing heavy casualties. The British
machines also have been employed
constantly in attacking the infantry
from low attitudes with machine
gums and in many cases veritable
slaughter has resulted. The artiI-
lery planes also have been doing in
valuable service directing the fire OF
British guns and this represents one
of the most important phases of the
duties OF the air corps, for the pilots
are the eyes OF the g1inners.
In addition to destroying eight Of
