AMERICAN FLYING
SQUADRON RAIDS
GERMAN WORKS
FIRST TRIP OF u. S. MEN
WITHOUT FRENCH OR
BRITISH AID.
(Bv The Associated Press }

With the American Army IN
France, Friday, June 1.-THE first
raid by an American bombing air
squadron behind the German lines
was accomplished with successful
and satisfactory results, the Ameri-
cans performing like veterans.
Some of the observers had been on
similar flying missions with French
or British pilots, and they knew ex-
actly how to gauge accurately the
fall Of the bombs.
As they made their start for the
German lines the bombing planes
received an ovation.
A number of French and British
aviators and officers and 4 large
number OF American hiers cheered
them from the flying field as they
came racing down the grass, tilted
upward and then turned north to-
ward the enemy's lines.
The German anti-aircraft bat
teries gave them hot reception as
they crossed the front, but this
sheling was extremely tame COM
pared with what they underwent as
they approached Dommary Baron
court. Two of the American planes
leading the squadron became the

There is more catarrh in this Sec
ton of the country than all other
diseases put together, and for years
it was supposed to be incurable.
Doctors prescribed local remedies,
and by constantly failing to cure by
local treatment, pronounced it in
curable. Catarrh is local disease,
greatly influenced by constitutional
conditions, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Ca

constitutional remedy, is taken in

Do Not Give Away the Streets
BY EARL GOODWIN.
The W. and A. R R. Should Buy Itself Terminal Here,
Expect the District Of Columbia to Furulsh Public Space

The aggressive attitude of many citizens associations
and other civic bodies in opposition to the request Of the
Washington Railway and Electric Company to furnish the
Washington, Baltimore and Annapolis line with free street
for depot purposes proof positive that the people
of Washington distinctly aroused AGAINST any such
proposition The appearance of the representatives of these
bodies before the Public Utilities Commission yesterday
indicates that the matter is of vital importance and
not lightly to be disposed Of The commission will make
mistake and forfeit the good opinion of the majority
of the residents of this community if it does not tell the rail
road company to BUY terminal on private property
The plan is to put loop around Masonic Temple and
to allow the big Washington Baltimore and Annapolis trains
to circle that neghborhood This puts railroad terminal
in block already crowded With the coming months the
congestion there will be much greater than it is today The
Washington, Baltimore and Annapolis already the
streets for depot utilizing stretch of track New York
between Fourteenth and Fifteenth streets northwest
to the dscredt Of the cy but this appalling plan to build
street depot all around mdcity block is absolutely with
right Justice No private citizen is allowed to park
automobile for than fifteen minutes many Of the
downtown streets-a regulation which should be extended
rather than curailedand the shorhrft should be
given to the Washington, Baltimore and Annapolis Rail-
road Company.
There may be some small real estate advantage to one
two individuals to two business in the
neghborhood of the proposed grab but the principle Of the
plan is all wrong
No interurban railroad should use the streets for
terminal site.
No plan clutter up the business section should be
considered for a moment
Stop the grab.

All the time the Poor Relation
has been visiting US we've all been
as nervous as a cat trying to skate
when the ice was very thin in

II we dressed up when We went
out with her, we did II to show OF
and to crush her by contrast.
IL We didn't dress up, we did it
to insult her by showing her that
we didn't care how We looked
when she was with US.
If We talked much in company,
We OVERRIDE. her and didn't give
her a chance. II we were quiet,
We were ashamed Of her and
wanted people to know II.
If we took her to our rich
friends, we did it to crow over
her. II we took her to poor
friends, we did it to show her
where she helon0ed
Oh, no, of course, she didn't say
anything about it-she'd scorn to
do that, and, besides she didn't
have to.
She's one of the sort who can
give you a silent treatment and
make you know just exactly the
way she feels without lifting an
eyebrow.
And she does it, too-let her
alone for that, poor thing. l sup
pose it's mean to be glad she's
gone.
She didn't approve of dogs, but
then, Of course, what she ap-
proved OF didn't matter, anyhow.
She couldn't expect it.
The children had an awful time
when the Poor Relation was with
US.
She was always wondering il
they were grateful enough for the
things that were done for them,
and weren't we bringing them up
TO set too much value on money,
didn't We think?
Now, we're going to have visit
