October 20 our observation airplanes
spread over the areas behind the en-

photographs and useful reports.
Bombing machines dropped more
than $1,000 kilos of explosives on and
fired 10000 cartridges at enemy con-
centrations and conveys in the region
OF Remaucourt, Son and Seraincourt.
In the course of these operations and
cruising enterprises by fighting planes
twenty enemy machines were brought
down or fell in n damaged condition
and three Drachen balloons were
burned.
During the night our bombing ma

lions where activity was being dis

A Norwegian freight steamship that

days ago in company with an American
tanker and British freighter when a
submarine launched a torpedo at the

American was going to put up a fight.
She swiftly got the range OF the U-boat
and with her stern gun forced 1t to
submerge. 1t did not reappear while
the Norwegian observers were within
sight of the Yankee tanker.
The next day the Norwegians saw a
periscope about 400 yards of the port
quarter. 1t penciiled its way toward the
ship, and in expectation of being knocked
out all hands prepared to take to the
boats. The periscope proceeded. and
after crossing the bow disappeared after
being visible about ten minutes.

LODGE EXPECTS WAR
TO END IN FEW WEEKS
Says America Must Stand BY
Its Ideals.

LYNN, Mass. Oct. 30-Expressing the
opinion that the war could last but a
few weeks longer, Senator Henry Cabot
Lodge. Republican leader in the Senate,
declared tonight at a political rally here
that the present was no time for parley
and that Americanlsm, not Republicans
or Democrats. must prevail.
Senator Lodge called upon America TO
stand fast by the ideals for which it en-
tered the war. which in his opinion was
the maintenance of the freedom OF civill-
cation and to be accomplished only when
Germany was beaten down like Bulgaria
and IN a position where she could never
break out on the world again.
He said 1t was a rank injustice that
Republicans worthy to go into the
trenches. worthy to subscribe to the
major part of Liberty bonds, good enough,
to give to all charity and war causes
should be characterized by the President
as unfit to take part in the Government.
