 Much has been made by the Allied airmen over the German reluctance to venture into enemy territory to offer an air attack. Statements appear fre- n,entlv in theNpress to the effect that the Allies have the supremacy of the air; that we have to seek out the German aeroplanes far into their territory; that they never venture over our lines except for bomb dropping ilt night or ll-Suarded reconnaissance by day; that their f1ehting-planes never give battle unless they are over powerin in numbers; that when they do attack they sweep down out of the clouds. fire one voiley and dive on down to safety, refusing further com bat.
 We are nasty if we assume such charges prove oWardice, or even weakness in the German air servle. Flying and fighting have never been regarded by the German military as a sporting proposition. They are part of a carefully scrutinzcd program Of military efficiency"
 The Star German airm en, Boelke, who had forty-five air victories to his credit, and who did much to es~ tablish the present program of air tactics for his service. stated in a let ter to his mother:
 Tt has been said that German air men never fly over hostile lines. As regards cha asing nes that Is true i; but 1t should be remembered. first that our new FoIfkers have some fea- lures which we ought to keep to our selves; and, second, that our object is only to prevent hostile aeroplaues from carrying out their observations.

Ernest F. Parker, private, first class, in the l.. s. Army quartern1aster's corps, son of Mrs. Mary II. Parker of 453 West Main street, has written the following lines as his own tribute to the Rod Cross, Private Parker, who has been home on a furlough since Saturday, will return to Fort Jay, Governors Island, on Wednesday:
 The Red Cross. During this war, so cruel and fearful When mothers eyes, are sad and tear

 And men march onward to If eet their fate Never stopping to falter or hesitate, There's a noble branch of work being

 And their heartfelt sym npathies, we

 their might, Ne'er tiring, or ceasing, to do all they TO gather comforts, for the soldier

 They ga here and there, the live long

 With never d thought of reward CIT pay.
 Their kindness and mercy, is right

SUCCESS OF TROOPS

That the services rendered by the

Paris headquarters of the organiza-

General Robert A. Billiard, command
ing the first division in France, was
contained in a cable received by the
war council of the Red Cross recently.

Some folks would have US believe
that laurel wreaths belong only to
statesmen, warriors, martyrs, with
possibly a stray twig for the mil

tiers, but at the same time credit is
due the man who develops industry
and improve the quality of the food
we eat, and the clothes we wear, ever
though he accumulates more or less
legal tender by the transaction. Be-
cause a mar has succeeded in amas-

doesn't necessarily follow that he has
