MUCH ATTENTION
BEING ATTRACTED
BY u. S. AVIATORS

With the American Army North
W esA of Verdun, Oct. 20.-(By the
Associated Press. )-American avi-
ators have attracted much atten-
ton among the airmen of other ma
tons Under the present plant the
air forces are always subject to a
call from the front, where observ-
ers or listeners report by wire when
the motor of a German airplane is
heard approaching the American
lines.
AS soon as one of these forces
is heard the American searchlights
begin sweeping the sky. The Amer
lean night patrols arrive at the
same time In event the German
machine is located by the ray of a
searchlight the American machines
attack until the enemy is downed
or makes his escape.
On Friday night when the sys-
TEN was inaugurated five aviators
started seeking any German ma
chine that might be about. When
an American serachlight picks up
an American machine, a prear-
ranged signal is given, eliminating
danger that the American might be
shot down by his own men. When
the airmen are aloft the airdromes
are brilliantly lighted so that they
may return without trouble.
