Four Machines Downed.
An aerial observer coming into hi,
station shot down four machines. In
the same fighting a British pilot
chased one enemy plane to earth and
was swooping down to finish off his
antagonist when the-man climbed out
of his machine and held up his hands
in token Of surrender.
$50 ! didn't kill him." the British
pilot said
But on my way home | met a
group of enemy machines and got a
bullet in me but managed to land in
side our lines"
The report of this incident ends
with the statement that the pilot died
in hospital shortly after relating his
experience.
A British two-seater shot down two
enemy machines. The pilot was bad
ly wounded and fell across the con-
trolls. The observer secured his COM
rade's body and managed to get con-
troll of the machine. He brought it
to earth where it crashed, but both
the occupants escaped death.
Many Thrilling Tales.
Another pilot started for home
wounded. When 10 feet above the
ground inside his own lines, he COL
lapsed from loss of blood.
There are dozens of thrilling tales
of how machine after machine, skim
ming clese to the ground, fired point
blank into bodies of enemy troops,
killing a great many, despite the fire
from the ground and how they wiped
out the crews of enemy machine guns
holding up the allied advance. They
also effectively attacked the poorly
constructed German tanks before they
ever had chance to get into action.
Prisoners from fresh Prussian and
Bavarian divisions have been cap
tured in the past few hours. The mo-
rale of these men is extremely low, a
great many of them expressing the
opinion that Germany, twice badly
beaten in recent weeks and perhaps
having further defeats in store for
her, is on the down grade, headed for
defeat.

YPRRS VALUE LARGELY SENTI'
MENTAL.

So far as the ruined town Il Ypres
Itself Is concerned, says 4 writer I'm
Leslies'. its value is almost wholly
sentimental. What was important
from a technical and stragetic stand
point was the system Of defenses on
the high ground 10 the east and south
OF Ypres. Once the Germans we're In
possession OF these heights. the mill
tary value Of Ypres vanished. Yet this
heap OF ruins which the British had
30 long defended with such valor and
al 30 heavy a cost. had a sentimental
value not 10 be underestimated
And in this war sentimental values
have an exceedingly important prac-
teal effect upon the morale OF nations
and armies.
In this sense the very name Ypref
is comparable with Verdun. IL is a
fact worth remembering that many o.
the French military leaders would
have preferred TO give up Verdun anC
make their stand On stronger positions
beyond Il, but they were overruled b.
the political leaders. and Il is by
no means safe 10 say that the mil
itary men we're right and the poll
iticians wrong.The German blow a
Verdun was a blow against French
morale. and the German check at Yer
dun was equally a blow at German
morale. In view OF these conditions

"The Kaiser, the Beast of Berlin"
Stirs Boston and Chicago to the Depths

This is a picturized story of the war
in Belgium and northern France, with
striking features reenacted in realis-
tic settings to bring home to the Am
erican people the true meaning of the
war. 1t portrays the things the peo-
pie ought to know to stimulate them
to meet their part in the war program
Words can not describe this great
war drama any more than words a
describe the great battle of Flanders
and Picardy. 1t must be seen to gain
a true conception of its scope and
magnitude, and the scope and magni-
tude of the things it portrays.
