Capt. Hall was popular throughout
the army and had won admiration by
his daring, GOODNESS and skill in hand
ling his machine.
The captains flying companions are
all certain that he would have knock
ed out his opponent had it not been
for a maneuver unheard of so far as
American and French pilots in this
sector are concerned. 1t has been
regarded as dangerous to the last
degree to bring up a machine sharp
ly from a downward plunge because
the strain is almost certain to cause
the collapse of some vital part of
the plane. The German aviator
whom Capt. Hall was pursuing, being
hard pressed, adopted this desperate
expedient to escape death and won.
He was thus enabled to pour stream
machine.
Capt. Hall, with two others, was
patrolling this morning between st.
Mihiel and Pont a Mousson. When
they were over Pagny sur Moselle,
four enemy albatross aeroplanes
painted with black and white stripes
were seen.
The Americans attacked, Capt. Hall
singing out one Of the enemy and
driving him downward while firing
with his machine gun. The pail
made a spiral dive from 5000 metres
to 1000, when the German suddenly
reversed his machine and started to
rise In a quick turn he poured 2
deadly stream of machine gun bull
let's into the bottom Of Halls ma
chine Capt Hall promptly came
out of the spiral and made dive for
the earth. He was last seen at
tempting to complete this maneu-
yer.
In the meantime the enemy ma
chine that the other Americans had
engaged dropped toward the ground
1t is unknown what happened tt
them, but two of them apparently
were in distress. No credit for victory
is given the Americans, because Off
cial verification of the destruction OF
the enemy was impossible. Captain
Halls machine had painted on it's side
the first American aeroplane insignia
to appear on the battle line. 1t was
in the form of, hat in the ring sign
showing starry striped high hat
usually pictured on Uncle Sam, sur
rounded by golden ring.
It is believed that the Germans have
sent some of their best fliers to thi'
| sector to attempt TO annin1late the
| American fliers.

GRAVE CRISIS FACES
ENGLAND AS RESULT
OF MAURICE CHARGES
TEST VOTE WILL BE TAKEN THURSDAY
NIGHT IN HOUSE OF COMMONS TO
DECIDE WHETHER PRESENT CAB
MET WILL RETAIN OFFICE.

London, May s - With the
British army in France facing
the most critical days of the
war, the David Lloyd George
Ministry in Great Britain at
home is facing the severest
government crisis since it over
threw the Cabinet Of EXPIRE
mier Herbert H. Asquith.
On a test vote to be taken
Thursday evening in the House
of Commons will be decided
whether the present govern
ment will remain in office or
whether there will be forced a
successor.
The most talked of man in England
today is Gen. Maurice, formerly chief
director of military operations at the
war Office, who in a public letter the
veracity of Premier Lloyd George and
Bonar Law question.
If some volunteer general or some
soldier who had graduated from poll
tics or business into soldering had de-
fed and trampled on all the laws and
traditions of the British army and all
armies, he would not have excited
such enormous surprise as has Gen
Maurice in his newly famous letter
impugning the veracity of the MIN
istry.
Had some less we'll trained officer
written the letter it would have been
put down to lack of tradition and to a
disregard of the conventionalities by
citizen soldier.
But Gen. Maurice is his personality,
his record and his career has been the
personification of all that is conven-
tional, austere and correct in the pro-
fessiona1 soldier. Barring his uniform,
he would readily pass for a typical
Prussian staff officer of the Molke
| school.
The government has issued a sum-
mons to its supporters requesting
their attendance on the house of
common on Thursday when 'Mr. As
Qu1In Will move reSOluuOn WHICH,
| if carried, will be a vote of censure
| of the government"
ga division is absolutely certain, -
says the call.
According to the Press association
the proposal to refer the Maurice af-
fair to two judges may be regarded
| as withdrawn, as the suggestion did
not appeal to the members of the
house and it's rejection by Mr.. As
quith and his followers rendered it
worthless.
| On the other hand it is added, it
| is doubtful whether any other form
of inquiry will be held and it is likely
that the premier will give the house
the full information consistent with
public safety, citing figures in proof
of is statement of the relativt strength
of the army in January, 1917, and
January, 1918. AS regards other
matters involved in the statement of
Gen. Maurice, it is understood that
an explanation perfectly consistent
with both versions will be made.

FLANDERS
Next Blow of Huns is

Confidence.
AUSTRALIANS IN
IMPORTANT PUSH
Great Aerial Activity is
Reported Over u. S.
Positions.

Along the battle lines in
northern France the Allied
troops still await the shock of
renewed heavy fighting by the
Germans.
Apparently the rainy weather
has lnterfered a great deal with
the enemy's transport and he
has not been able to perfect his
arrangements because of the
difficulties of bringing his
supplies over the battle torn
ground of Flanders and Pr
cardy.
Having gained some advantageous
positions in local fighting, the Allies
are waiting for the next effort of the
Germans which already has been de-
layed much longer than in previous
lulls since the beginning of the often
sive on March q. Meanwhile fresh
troops and new supplies are pouring
IN to strengthen the Allied positions
and this fact must also add to the
perturbation of the enemy, who has
nothing remarkable in military
achievement to show for his heavy
losses of, the last seven weeks.
The edging in process was continued
by the British last night in the i'm
portant sector east of Amiens, be-
tween the Ancre and the Somme, the
Australians following UP their recent
successes there. The operation was
a purely local one, but it resulted in
anchoring the British line more firmly
on the ridge between Sally lie Sec and
Morlancourt and thus putting it in a
better position to resist the expected
| German assault.
The artillery fire continues violent
on important sectors. The Germans
are shelling heavily the Anglo-French
front southwest of Ypres and the Sec
tor south of the Sornme between Vii
lers Breonnoux and Hailles. These
sectors saw the heavy fighting pre-
vious to the German repulse north OF
Mont KENNEL nine days ago. Enemy
fire against the southern side of the
Arras sector, which lies north Of AL
bert, also has been intense.
| There has been great aerial activity
on the American sector northwest oil
Toul and Capt. James Norman Hall is
reported missing. Two of the enemy
aeroplanes are believed to have beer
brought down.
Other Americans also have beer
meeting the enemy in the air along
the line east of St. Mihiel and it il
believed that the Germans have con
centrated large forces in an attemp
to wipe out the American f1iers. Their
has been no infantry fighting on an!
of the American sectors.
Except for fruitless patrol raids b!
| the Austrians and limited artillery fir
there has been no activity on the Ital
ian front. The Austrians still with
| hold their attack and neither Vienn;
nor Berlin has said anything of it TO
the last several days.
The Australian advance last nigh
pushed forward their lines 500 yard
along front of 600 yards near Sail
lie Sec, on the sector east of Amiens
They also pushed back the German
800 yards along a front of 500 yard
west of Morlancourt, just above Sail
lie Sec. Notwithstanding heavy bar
rage the Germans were unable to pre-
vent their advance.
