region and against the right wing of
the Internationally the Americans
are in for some sharp and severe fight
ing in the course of the next few
weeks.
During the earlier battles Of verdun
that section of the line running almost
point to the west of Toul was subject
to tremendous German attacks. but, as
every one remembers, these were turn
ed back in the main. though the Ger
mans came perilously near breaking
the French line to the southeast Of
Verdun. 1t is not to be expected that
the Germans will not again attempt to
strike in this direction and along that
section of the line where the Americans
hold forth.
To really envelop Verdun. a plan dear
to the hearts of the Germans, they first
must roll up the American line Frontal
attacks at Verdun will come-though in
the past the Germans have lost $4,000
men by such tactics-along with en-
veloping measures.
During the past week the forces under
Gen. Pershing have participated in
numerous patrol activities and have
learned that the first German line
is but thiHly held. The second line. how
ever, is constantly being reinforced. and
this might indicate that the Germans are
planning immediate offensive actions of

have been uppermost in the minds of
the American people during the past
few days
In regard to the first. it may be seen
that it is possible the German divisions

to punish the Americans for their i'm
pudence in opposing Germanic princi-
pies and military aggression, though
operations on that section OF the front

has been an outburst in the Dutch par

should she break relations with the en-

would have absolutely no say, inasmuch

would prevent the United States and

for Flying.


voked. 1t rejected the proposed amend
ment, even though it came supported
by the recommendation of Gen. Per-
shing and the Secretary of War: but
not until it had heard the statements of
Col. Bloomfield of the British aviation
service and Lieut.. Marquisan of the
French service that their aviators re-
ceived extra pay while actually flying
in percentages considerably higher than
that provided in the defense act for
United States f1iers. They pointed out
that men of the highest type were in
dispensable to the success of aviation
and that by reason OF their dangerous
and .arduous duties they were entitled
to higher pay than ground aviators of
the same rank. Col. Bloomfield said
that pilots handled delicate machines
that cost $4,000 apiece and were worth
much more than that sum to the army,
and only men of good ability could be
depended upon to operate them. He
said that the Germans had tried putting
men of lower class in the machines, and
the experiment had been a failure, for
they would not take themselves into the
field of danger. and for that reason had
not obtained good results in fighting or
in observation: that their officers could
not make them go where they were or
struments in the cars to record their
speed and their altitude.
Lieut.. MarquiSan confirmed the state
ment of Col. Bloomfield, and added that
before the war in France it had beer
impossible to persuade a sufficient
of young men to take the great
risk of learning to fly without some adj
ditional inducement. He indicated with
slight movement of one hand that he
had three German planes to his credit.
The committee took into considera-
posed by the department took away
something that had been promised to
the young men who have entered avn
