The machine has been discovered.
AT once six or seven searchlights throw

He flies steadily on, although bar
rage of bursting shells lies now in
front of him. The observer looks
through the wires of his bomb sight
He thrusts his lever forward and re-
leases two bombs. A few seconds
later he sees the flash of their explo-
sions, and hears two dull roars. He
signals to the pilot and the machine
sweeps away from the fiery ring of
shells and searchlights.
A few miles away the airplane flies
to and fro at top speed. The puzzled
searchlights vainly feel the sky in all
directions and then, one by one, are
switched off.
Then the pilot quickly returns to-
ward the target. Another bomb is
dropped. As it explodes the search
lights reappear and the barrage is re-
newed, while through the shell bursts
are threaded the chains of green fam
ing globes SO much used by the Ger

Again the machine flies away and

fades out. All the searchlights follow

Repeatedly the airmen return to the
attack. Bombs are dropped at inter.
walls until the end of the hour, when
the machine departs, Pickering fires
and clouds of smoke telling Of the
havoc wrought by the bombs.

BY RICHARD HENRY LITTLE,

(ChicaEo Newspaper Man, Now in Y. NJ.
c. A Service on Atlantic.)
New York.-American soldiers are
grand fighters but very poor matinee
idols. When women spring from their
seats in the sidewalk cafes in Paris
and thrust flowers in their hands,
they look as ashamed as a dog caught
stealing eggs.
The most awful suffering | saw in
Paris was the case of . big husky from
an infantry outfit. A lady of great
distinction had stopped her machine
in the middle of the street while the
soldier was crossing, and. leaning out,
had enthusiastically tied bright pink
ribbon around his neck. Amidst much
rejoicing from the assembled French
spectators the lady went her way and
the big soldier looked as if he was just
about TO choke to death, although it
was a very thin ribbon and loosely
tied. l saw him an hour later and he
stil wore the ribbon and had turned
deathly pale and was evidently in
terrible pain.
The Captains Orders.
Listen" said the infantry husky in
a hoarse whisper. ''the captain said
we was to receive any compliments
given us by the French with smile
and show 'em we appreciated it and
not hurt their feelings by ditching it,
but if / have TO wear this pink ribbon

''There at Chatty Teery the officers
were making an awful holler about
the boys running too fast and ducking
right through the barrage and not
having attention to nothing except
spearin' Boches. Our colonel came
over before we started and he was
much particular-Iike in pointing out {

NEW ALLIED DRIVE
ON P|CAROY FRONT
GENERAL FocH EXPECTED TO
KEEP THE GERMANS ON THE
RUN IN THE FUTURE.
Million and a Quarter Americans in
General Pershine's First Army, All
EAGER to Take Their Part in
Big Drive for Berlin.

Washington.-A new drive against
the German positions either in Flan-
fers or between the Disc and scissors
is expected by many army officers here
as a result of the slowing up of the
advance in the Picardy theater.
Outlining the situation at his mid
week conference Wednesday, General
March, chief OF staff, confined his
statements to pointing out that the
Germans have now been forced back
until they are not within 30 miles of
Paris at any point,
The head of the army has previously
laid stress on the fact, however, that
the greatest advantage won by Mar
shall Foch in a military way is in hay
ing wrested the initiative from the
enemy.
The opinion prevailed among other
officers that the present struggle
around Roye and Lassigny would soon
terminate in the capture of those
points, to be followed by the taking of
Noyon.
Pershing's Army to Take Part.
In the course of his discussion, Gem
eral Marsh said that General Perish
ing now has 1,250,000 American troops
organized into the first army corps. Pre-
sumably the Americans on the British
left flank in Picardy, identified by the
chief of staff as the 131st infantry of
the Thirty-third Ulinois national
guard) division, are among those still
brigaded for training.
1t appeared possible to some officers
that the organization of the first Am
erican army might be followed by an
all-American attack at some point on
the line which it holds beyond Verdun,
where there has been no recent night
ing.
The primary purpose of the two
blows Marshal Foch has struck has
| been realized. Both in the Aisne-
Marine battle and again in Picardy the
| attacks were defensive measures to
free Paris from the menace of the two
| wedges the enemy has driven in that
direction. The value of the drives in
| this respect was pointed out by Cen
| eral March.
Officers here, therefore, anticipate a
| complete change in the character of
the fighting in the next phase of the
| battle, with Foch's armies assuming
| the offensive in the fullest sense of the
word and striking to force the enemy
back in such manner that he can not
avail himself of his old Hindenburg
| line defenses.
