Allies Adopt Night Fighting.

SO the allies likewise operate at night
What goes up, according to childhood 8
formula, must come down. When word
comes that the boche have started on
a raid the allied planes go up. The
German airdronne must be lighted so its
planes may land in safety. The allied
bombers tear it to pieces with their
bombs The airdromes are moved often,
but are likewise bombed often. The
latest German trick is underground
in which the planes make their start.
They pop into the air sometimes al
most over the allied trench.
Both sides are paying more attention
to the use of planes against troops in
the open than ever before. A big plane
with two or three machine gunners on
board scars about in the sky like an
eagle. If body of troops is caught
them. it's gunners firing as they come.
Excellent results have been secured
by allied fiers. The German has not
been so fortunate. thanks to the care
full watch kept upon him by day.
Hope to Brighten Parisians.
Apart from the rehearsal" feature of
that the Germans hoped to inspire
fear in the Partisan populace. They
would be greatly disappointed IL they
knew how Slightly they succeeded.

Announcing the day and hour of their

YEAR Of WAR IN AIR

Raids on Paris Held to Reveal
New Boche Moral

ALLIES ADOPT NIGHT PLAN
BY HERBERT COREY.

PARIS. February 4.-Atef genera
tom. may speak of this a. "the year Of
! the war in the air" Just as We talk Of
the year of the big wind and OK tho
world fair. !
| OF course, there has been fighting In
/ the air in the other years OF the war;
and bomb-dropping, and all that sort of
thing. But the year 1913 promises to
| Guido them all.
THE German raid on Paris was just
| rehearsal" said an officer just up from
the British front.
! Some rehearsal, 1 thought to myself.
Fourteen tons of explosives were drop
ned in Paris and the suburbs in an hour
and q. half. Twenty-eight airplanes, In
four sauadrons, few over US. and 25o
people were killed or wounded. 1t had
all the appearance Of regular per
! Torrance to me. But the omcer SAID ne
did not mean his remark fiippantly.
"They have been doing the . same e
! thing on our 'front.' said he tney
are practicing their new squadron for
| MISUNDERSTANDING it I should say.
| German prisoners say the preparaoons
| for aerial fighting are on an incredibly
large scale
Bombardment of Bapaume.
By the new squadron formation the
German airplanes fly in squads and ma
neuver by signal like troop OF cav
airy They bombed Bapaume the other
night at intervals of thirty minutes
Three formations were engaged, ap-
parently, and they few from three ar
ferent directions One would swoop IN,
drop it's bombs, execute a half turn,
and get out again Half an hour later
to the minute the next notilla regis
tered in.
Other towns, Albert, Dunkirk, Calais,
Boulogne, many others, have been
bombed in the same way. 1t has been
shown to be practically impossible to
keep raiding planes out at night They
fly too high nowadays for the search
light or the shell barrage to get them.
The defending planes must carry lights
as a protection against attack by their
own folk. The raiders have all the ad-
vantage Even if they are seen by the
defending planes. it is but for a fieeting
moment Through all the var but four
planes have been crashed at night
But the Germans are no match for
the allied fliers by day. They have
some remarkable individual fiers and
some wonderful machines, but honors
in air fighting by day are fncontest-
ably with the British and French The
records show this. In January the
boche lost 2S6 machines against 101 OF
the allies Their job in the daytime is
to observe and run away il they can.
1t is only at night that they go on
raids.

SEVEN, REASONS FOR SAVING.

SEVEN REASONS FOR SAVING.
Save for you rcountry's sake, be-
cause it is now SPEEDING millions day
and must find most of the money out
of savings. .ss ..
2. Save for your own sake, be-
cause work and wages are plentiful
and, as prices are high now, a dollar
will buy more after the war.
8. Save, because when you. spend
you make other people work for you,
and the work of everyone is needed
now to win the war. 49,.
4. Save, because by saving you
make things cheaper for everyone
especially for those who are poorer
than you. -.....
5. Save, because by going without
you relieve the strain on ships, docks,
and railways, and make transportation
cheaper and quicker.
6. Save, because by saving you set
an example that makes it easier for
the next man to save. A saving nation
is an earning nation.
Z. Save, because every time you
save you help twice, first when you
don't spend and again when you lend
to the nation.-The Commonwealth.

London, Sept. 11.-As the result of

May Have Destroyed U-Boat.
Owing to the speed with which the
warships acted and the close proximity
of the U-boat it is considered possible
that the submarine was either de-
stroyed or badly damaged.
This attack is somewhat different
from the recent methods of U-boats in
firing on lone vessels and giving nc
attention to protected conveys and it
shows more reckless daring in an eff
fort to sink conveyed boats than has
beer usual during the past, few

of the American position. -"
There was to be an attack ir the
early hours of the next morning, and
he had run and stumbled and crawled
along the line to hear confession
throughout his warrior flock. Seamy
old-timers who had not so much as
crossed the threshold of a church in
years and years had barred their souls
to him that night and squared off to
the battle with brighter eyes and
lighter hearts. -

in a hoarse whisper:

Across the space that separted

On day not long ago he dropped
down from breathing spell. He was
dusty and tired, and his once. natty
uniform was mussy from having been
