GERMANS COMPLETELY REPULSED IN
LOCAL OPERATION AT ANCHIN FARM
SOUTHEAST OF AMIENS LAST NIGHT
GERMAN 4IRHEN
DECLINE FIGHT
EXCEPT At ODDS
But Allied Airmen Have Succeeded In
Bringing Down 1o6 in Six Weeks
on the Western Front.

London, May 6.-Wounded British air.
men back from France report that the
squadron operating in an important sec.
tor on the Amiens front probably has es-
tabished a record by bringing down log
enemy machines in six weeks, including
Fl on one day.
The only member of the squadron
known to have been wounded up TO the
time this man returned to London said it
was hard work getting the German air
men to fight. Virtually the only times
they would come out, he said, were when
the glare of the sun would be in our
faces and in the evening. Even then
the would slip away if they had half
chance.
Nearly all the machines we brought
down were two-seaters In fact, few of
the German airmen will fly anything
else
"The pilots like man with a gun be-
hind them"
The airman said the German infantry
was bombed and machine -gunned BY the
aviators four times day regularly and
that when the enemy came forward in
masses they were easy prey for the air
forces
"We would swoop down while flying at
/ speed of 100 miles an hour firing our
machine guns all the while. Sometimes
We came within fifty feet of the ground,
yoing so fast they could do nothing
With us. Their machine gun fire from
he ground did little damage.
