Since April Ii American
Losses Have Been Only
Eight Fliers
Teutons Wary of
Approaching Lines
Usually Soar at Great
Height, and Turn Tail
When Pursued
(By The Associated Prcss)


WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, June 2.--Compilations which
The Associated Press secured to-
day show that the American avi
ators flying over the Toul sector
have made an enviable record. Ameri-
can pursuit units since April ID, when
they started operations, have shot down
at least thirty-two enemy airplanes.
Seventeen of this number were seen
and officially confirmed by the French,
while during the same period, and
counting a pilot who fell in flames to-
day, only seven of our chaser fiers
have been lost.
(To-day's official statement brings
the score to 33 German to 8 American
planes downed.-Ed.)
Of the seven American pursuit pilots
who were lost four were killed, one
by accident; two are prisoners in the
hands of the Germans, and the fate Of
to-day's ill-lucked aviator is not known
for certainty.
Fly at Great Height
Late this evening, for the first time
in nearly a month, q German plane was
so bold as to venture more than few
kilometres over the line, and it did
not stay long after discovery. but beat
a hasty retreat homeward. The ma
chine was so high that the men within
1T were unable to see much and at that
altitude must have had on respirators.
The Germans have learned the les
son that it is dangerous to try to
operate over the American positions.
Within the last few days the American
units, in addition to patrolling the line,
answering alarms and chasing off
prowling German airplanes, have taken
the difficult task of protecting British
bombing squedrons. This serves the dual
purpose of protecting the British and
giving combat to the German pursuit
British. Several fights which have
ended disastrously for the enemy have
resulted
British Praise U. S. Fliers.
The British are strong in their praise
Ct the skill and the daring of the
young American ficrs.
While an American aviator was fight
ing German to-day a bullet fired by
his opponent traversed the length of
the airplane and passed between the
pilots legs The bullet clipped mag
neto wire, but otherwise no harm was
done.
Late this evening a German plane
was seen far above the clouds, at a
height Of perhaps 5000 metres above a
field on which were American aviators.
Americans started in pursuit, but the
German turned quickly and escaped.

Champagne came yesterday
to a dead halt. 1t had run
a week-and at an extraordinary
pace, measured by the depth of
penetration from the starting point.

really important question now is rot

but whether its development in a
certain direction will or will not
have grave strategic consequences.
Foch had no misglvings about let

they tried to shift their attack from
