 Many instances Illustrating the reckless. daring of the British aviators sent over the German lines to obtain information, destroy aerodromes and harry the German reserves are con- tained in the official narratives. One pilot who crossed the lines at Ypres threw off two attacking machines, bombed the Heule areodrome near Lille and was fired upon by two ma chine guns. He dived at one of them firing with both guns of the British airplane, drove the Germans from their guns, fired upon the acrodromc again. attacked and scattered a column of 200 German infantrymen on the road.

RttitNb BRITISH LINES I

 F'rance-Stories of daring escapades of British aviators exciting aerial com- bats from which the alr-fghters es- capped alive seemingly only by miracles and of brilliantly executed raids upon German aerodromes and troops be yond the German lines are narrated in the reports of the Royal Flying Corps covering the activities of about ono week. Hair raising incidents of fierce conflicts above the clouds or low over the German communication lines are described in these succinct reports without bombast, as though these narrow escapes from death were com monplace and all in a days work of the air-fighters.
 For example, there was the case of a British aviation officer who, when nearly a mile above the earth, was attacked by two enemy aircraft. He shot down one of them out of control but was himself wounded and fainted while still high in the air. Recovering consciousness he found his machine upside down at an elevation of 1000 feet and one enemy aircraft still firing at him. The Britisher, however man. aged after a struggle to right his ma chine and land safely.
 In a somewhat similar instance, q German scout attacked a British air plane carrying a pilot and observer One of the German bullets passed through the gasoline tank of the Brit ish airplane and seriously wounded the pilot. The British observer, how ever, pumped a full double drum of bullets at the enemy scout at very close quarters and the Gerwan went to the ground with crash.
 Meanwhile the British pilot had tainted and fallen against the steer ing stick" in such fashion as to throw the airplane into spin. The British observer climbed over the side and forward along tho plane to the pilots cockpit, lifted the pilot to his seat and still standing on the wing of the plane released the steering gear and brought the machine out of the spin and safely to the ground.
 Two British officers, were return ing from an expedition over the enemys lines to locate hostile batter ies when their machine was hit by anti-aircraft fire and the engine dam aged. Volplaning. the machine landed 300 yards from the British lines. the airplane turned over and the avlators were hurled out on the German side

 The basket ball game between the All Nome team and the Nome High School was one of the best seen in several years and was full of thrilling plays throughout. The High School lads demonstrated well that they can play basket ball by leading the Nome team all the way, in spite of the vet ercn capacities of the Nome aggrega- ton. The Nome team made q hard rally In the last half and landed sev- eral baskets by brilliant playing but could not overcome the lead of the youngsters.

WASHINGTON. Nov. iS-Cessation IN
troop movements viii result in better
passenger train service throughout the
country within the next two months
railroad administration officials pre-
dicted today. Thousands OF passenger
cars. which for eighteen months have
been used wholly in Transporting
troops, will be gradually released to
passenger traffic, It was stated. IL was
hinted local passenger trains would be
added wherever the demands made such
necessary. Addition of one or more
transcontinental trains also was re-
garded as likely. But the former sys-
tenn OF many competitive trains will
not be witnessed again while the pres
ent administration retains CONTROL 1t
was asserted.
Director General McAdoo. last spring
clipped about 2i,0O0,O0O miles monthly
from passenger train service. Among
those taken off were seven transconti-
mental trains, running on practically
parallel lines.
Complaints have reached the Railroad
Administration, that IN somo cases local
service was not sufficient 20 meet the
demands.
Demobllizatlon Of the troops, how
ever, presents a big problem for the
Railroad Administration. Not all OF the
troops will be sent 10 their homes and
the railroads, II is pointed out, viii be
called upon TO care for heavy passenger
traffic in returning the troops.
Great orders for new passenger equip
ment have gone into the car building
plants In anticipating Of traffic TO come,
after the return Of the soldiers, sailors
an dmarines. Much Of this equipment
will be completed within the next six
months.
There will be plenty OF motive pow
er. officials say While hostilities con-
tlnued the locomotive plants were
called upon to build engines both for
domestic needs and for the expedition
ary forces. The latter demand has al
most II not wholly disappeared. The
plants now are turning to the construc-
tion OF engines for the national raih
way lines and both passenger and
freight motive power ought to be sufil-
cIent to take care Of the traffic, officials
say.
