Praises Conservers at Home.

I'VE will surely be able to tell a
great deal to the folks back in the
U. S. A. who are also doing their bit,
but in a different manner. we can
all appreciate it, for while you are
having meatless days we are not. AS
the old saying goes, The Army moves
en- it's belly 1t surely does. for If the
men haven't enough in their stomachs
they can't do what is expected of
tlem. The conservation of food back
ho:ee is a lifesaver for US over here.
II can readily understand how
Washington is increasing in popula-
Dtion on account of the increase of
clerks. and I guess they are not all
young fellows, either, are they?
Il note the weather conditions you
are entertaining. Quite different from
what we are having. The sun shines
often. the grass is nice and green, all
the flowers and trees are in bloom,
and there is nothing better suited for
the eye to perceive than spring in
France. for it surely is one beautiful
country.

down his sixth enemy airplane. Prof.
Campbell said that his son is a good
athlete and chauffeur, quick to de-

of the aviation service. the scientist
said:
"A mans life should not be meas

plishes-. My sons letters say he is
happy to be over there"
The honor of being known az his
country's first aviation lace" was
earned sDectacularly by Lieut.. Doug

twenty minute air battle in which his
opponent refused to surrender, but
accepted instead the alternative of
being shot down by the American.
Lieut.. Campbell sighted the German

are told in letter to ]. B. Spalding,
1882 U street northwest, from Sergt.

Gun Battalion, SON of August v.
Denis, former Washington business
man. Sergt. Denis lived in Washing
ton a number of years. but later
moved to Brooklyn. N. Y, where he
enlisted at the outbreak of the war.
The letter says. in part:
our bunch has been in some
skirmishes, and, as the old 6sth'
stands for, we have done good bit
and nave come out on the top. 1t Is
needless to say that some casualties
have occurred, for you will find In
every skirmish some one has to be
sacrificed. But our men are of that
opinion and feeling that if they were
allowed to do what they want to do
they would go right through without
any let up, man after man.

it is impossible to buy our usual
breakfast of eggs, which we have
been accustomed to. I would never
think of eating less than six eggs in

OF course that is not the govern
ment ration, but we used to buy them
from the townspeople.
"All of the French peasants with
whom we have come in contact have
treated US royalty. and we surely did
make use of them last winter during
our four-day hikes with packs, and
snow foot deep. and if one of US
dropped out we knew we would freeze
for no one was coming after US to
pick US up. That is some feeling, and
many a day it was just grit that
pulled US through. We had to make
our own paths, for the roads and
fields were covered with snow. and
the only way we knew we were off
the road was a small embankment.

THRILLING BATTLE
OVER NORTH SEA
Five British and Seven Ger

THE HAGUE, June S.-Five British
and seven German seaplanes of the
largest type fought a battle Tuesday
evening off the Dutch coast. accord
ing to Tereschelling dispatch to the
Handelsblad. One of the German ma
chimes was observed to fall in flames
into the sea. One British machine was
forced to descend, but landed safely.
Another British air machine, which
had descended to the surface of the
sea for repairs because of defect
in the propeller, two hours before the
battle, was later set on fire by its
five occupants. all of whom waded
ashore and gave themselves up for
internment. The crew included two
Canadians.
Three Successive Battles.
The British machines were a squad

ing expedition off the northern Dutch
coast During the afternoon they had

reinforced by seven seaplanes. A live
ly fight ensued, and, in addition to
the German machine which fell in
flames, another German was brought
down.
Try to Attack Cripple.
A British machine, commanded by
Robert Paul of Buffalo, N. Y, a mem
Der of the Canadian Flying Corps, de-
veloped engine trouble and was
forced to descend to the surface. En-
sign Joseph Eaton, a New England
man, who was senior pilot of another
OF the squadron, was detailed to pro-
tect the disabled plane. and circled
about 1t for an hour, while the Ger
mans were continually attempting to
attack the cripple.
During Eaton's defensive work his
machine was riddled with bullets, but
ne was able to keep the air until the
Germans were driven off. He then
descended, his machine wrecked, but
all the crew got ashore safely.
This engagement was reported by
the British admiralty in its statement
of June s, which announced that a
squadron of large seaplanes, while
accommodating over the North sea,
met a large formation Of hostile ma
chlnes. which was engaged and two
OF the enemy machines shot down.
Two of the British machines, it was
stated. were forced to alight close to
the Dutch coast, because of engine
trouble, and the aviators were in
