MARK PLANES LIKE ALLIES
American Fliers, for Fear of Attack

up Close

With the American Army in France
German aviators are now resorting
to unsportsmanlike tricks in an en-
deavor to outwit American fliers. The
thickness Of the German soldier afoot,
is emulated by enemy airmen who
are marking their machines to make
them look as much like allied mark
ings as possible.
The Germans have taken to round
off corners Of the cross on the wings
of their edges to make them look like
allied badges. The game of the Ger
man airman is to play around, get in
a shot if he can, and then run. Amer.
lean fliers, for fear Of attacking a
probable friend, must get up close to
an enemy machine, usually after con-.
siderable manoeuvering before OPEN

this area was the raid last Friday

raid was conducted at only light cost
but both sides of the road were mark
ed with enemy dead. We captured
