dropping of bombs on enemy towns.
The aviators said that fifteen ma
chimes were in the air squadron which

eral occasions. Although the bombers
were equipped with machine guns for
self defence if necessary. they were
accompanied by fighting planes, acting
as a convoy and engaging the enemy
machines which arose for battle.
Both flyers arc on sick leave. Mac
Namaras furlough was obtained auto
matically when he tumbled from a ma
chine he was guiding around the
French aero camp. The Americans arc
determined to Get back to the business
of bombing the Kaiser just as soon as
health allows.
