PARIS. July 23.-Thirty-seven Ger
man airplanes were brought down or
put out Of action by French and Brit
ish airmen yesterday. Four captive
balloons were burned and many tons
Of bombs were dropped on German
concentration points. This announce
ment Is made in the official commune
cation issued by the war Office to-
night.
The text of the statement reads:
''on July % the work Of our aerial
forces continued along the whole bat-
tie front actively. Franco-British
squadrons fought numerous combats
which cost the enemy heavy losses.
Thirty-seven German aitplanes were
brought down or put out Of action
af1re.
Twenty-Five Tons Dropped.
Bombing operations were con-
tinued in the same methodfcal way
as on preceding days and with as
good results. Enemy concentration
points,. bivouacs and communication
links were bombed with twenty mine
tons Of projectiles. British bombing
planes dropped four and one-half
tons xof explosives on aviation
grounds and stations in the rear.
"On the night of July. 1928 an
expedition against the railroad sta
tion at Maison- Blouc attained its
object Thirteen hhndred kIlos Of
projectiles were dropped on build
tngs and standing trains in this
station. A great fire broke out, fol-
lowed by violent explosions.
American fighting and observing
planes, with impetuousity and brav-
cry consistent with the troops Of
the United States, co-operated in
previous raids and took part in the
successes won by our aerial forces"

Here one finds him reporting the return
of weary but undaunted squad:
"Marching through the sloughed-up mud.
through shell holes filled with putrd water,
among most depressing conditions, I saw a
working party returning to their billets. They
were wet through and wrapped up with
scarves, wool helmets and gloves. Over their
clothes was a veneer of plastered mud. They
marched along at slow swing and in a
mournful way sang:
Left-Lcft-Lcft
We--are-the tough Guys!'
apparently there are no more words to
TINS song because, after pause Of few
beats, they commenced again:

were"
Keenc found the following poem writ
ten on the wall of smashed-up chateau:

And oft enjoyed the company Of jovial fell

But OF all the happy journeys none can

'crumps' on account of the sound they make
"a sort of cru-ump noisc-as they explode.
Rum jar is the trench mortar. Sausage is
the slow-going aerial torpedo, a beasty
thing about six feet long, with fins like a
torpedo. 1t has 2l0 pounds Of high explosive
and makes a terrible hole. WhiZz bang is
shrapnel."
When the war broke out Keene was
quietly sketching up in the Laurentian
Mountains. He was called in by his paper
to do war cartoons. But being so far
from the centre of real activity didn't
appeal to this young adventurer, who, just
as soon as he could possibly get into a
branch of the service that meant bust
ness, found himself in transport ship
on the high seas. Then came session at
Salisbury Plain, followed by actual trench
warfare.

one sort or another. Now it will be a
tense moment under fire:
"We were in our cellars, and gradually the
Smelling crept up toward u.s. Slowly solemn,
dread fear took possession of my being. In a
flash began to devise philosophy of death,
for my chances were fading with every
crash. l took out my pocketbook, containing
some letters from my mother and some per-
sonal things, and put them one of the
beams, so that, being in another part Of the
building, they might perhaps be found some
day The Smelling continued and shells
dropped completely round the cellars, demol-
shng nearly everything in sight. The enemy
evidently wanted to oblitcratc the whole
place. The smell of the smoke and the dirt
from the debris were choking, and every
minute expected to be our last. Suddenly
it stopped. Philosophy and fear disappeared
simultaneously as l sputtercd out a choking
laugh Of relief. Then Hawkins, my servant
in scared voice, started, and the others
Joined in, singing the old marching refrain
of the training camps:

What the hell do We care.

But, again, the entry will tell of very
much gentler occupation. For instance:

always arresting:
