Intimating that German plots are
in progress to spread serious diseases
among soldiers in nearby army bar
racks, Judge Bates declared Friday in
Portland Municipal Court that he
should adopt a policy Of imposing
heavy sentences on women convicted
Of disorderly conduct. He said 1t is
the opinion of several army oncers
that spread Of disease through asso-
citation of soldiers with women OF i'm
moral habits is something more than
accident.

AMERICANS SHOOT
DOWN 81 PLANES

Paris, June A remarkable rec
ord has been made by American avi-
ators flying over the Toul sector OF
the battle front.
American pursuit units since April
IA, when they started operations,
have shot down at least 80 enemy air
planes seventeen of this number
were seen and officially confirmed by
the French. while during the same
period and counting yesterday only
seven American chasers have been
lest.
OF these, four were killed, one by
accident; two are prisoners in the
hands of the Germans and the fate
of the pilot is not known for certain,
The victories gained by the Amer
leans are all the more important
when it is considered that most Of
the enemy machines shot down have
been biplanes, so that the loss in
these cases has been doubly great
for the Germans. All the American
machines lost were monoplanes.
For the first time in nearly a
month, German plane was so bold
as to venture more than a few kilo'
meters 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 with
in 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 Ameri-
can units, in addition to patrolling
the line, answering alarms and chas-
ing off prowling German airplanes,
have taken the difficult task Of pro-
tectlng British bombing squadrons.
This serves a dual purpose OF pro-
tecting the British and giving com.
bat to the German pursuit machines,
which sometimes pursue the British.
Several fights which have ended dis
astrously for the enemy have re-
suited.

WEEKLY REVIEW OF WAR

quered 1t.
Successful raiding operations have
been carried out by the British
in the region of Arras, Lens and Be-
thune.
The week has been an active one
on sectors held by the Americans.
Northwest of Toul Uncle Sans boys
raided enemy positions and rear
areas. They destroyed defenses and
returned with several prisoners. Four
German counter attacks against the
American troops at Cantigny, west Of
Montdidier, were repulsed after shart
fighting. Machine guns we're espe-
cially active. A wounded German
captain was captured. American avl-
ators also were successful in a series
of combats with enemy flyers.
Artillery duels and raids featured
the week on the italian fronts.
June 3-Although 1t can not be said
that the Germans in their new often
sive have been definitely stopped,
there is, nevertheless, marked d.
minution in the speed with which
they started out. Allied reserves
have been rushed to the front and
resistance has stiffened as a conse-
quence. Particularly hard fighting
again has been in progress between
