With the American Army North
west of Verdun, Oct. 20.-American
aviators by inaugurating night pa
stroIs along the Mouse have attract
ed much attention among the air
men of other nations. Under the
present plan the air forces are al
ways subject to a call from the
front, where observers or listeners
report by wire when the motor Of a
German airp1ane is heard approach
ing the American lines.
AS soon as one Of these forces is
heard the American searchlights
begin sweeping the sky. The Amer
lean night patrols arrive at the
same time. In the event the Ger
man machine is located by the ray
of a searchlight the American ma
chimes attack until the enemy is
downed or makes his escape,
On Friday night when the system
was inaugurated five aviators start
ed seeking any German machine
that might be about. When an
American searchlight picks up an
American machine. pre-arranged
signal is given. eliminating danger
! that the American might be shot
down by his own men. When the
airmen are aloft the airdromes are
brilliantly lighted so that they may
return without trouble.
In the all-American bombing ex-
petition behind the German lines
Friday, American pursuit planes
brought down seventeen German
machines. Most of the victories
have been confirmed officially. Not
one American machine was lost,
making the day stand out in the
history OF American aviation.
During the expedition the Ameri-
can machines met and vanquished
several enemy formations of 80 and
40 airplanes each. Among the Amer
leans who brought down German
machines Friday are the following:
Lieutenant Cleveland McDermott,
of Syracuse and Lieut.. Chester
Wright, of Brooking, Mass, two
each; Lieut.. Albert Weatherhead, of
Cleveland: Lieut.. Wier Cook, of

Tales Of the Friendly Forest
BY DAVID CORY

There was a strange noise in the
Friendly Forest, and all the little
four footed animals. and the little
two winged people were wondering
what it was. Billy Bunny didn't
know, and he wouldn't have found
out If he hadn't been brave enough
to go out into the forest. But you'd
never guess who was making this
strange noise. click-clock, click
clock. So I'll let you come with me
and look over Billy Bunny's shout
der. And what the little rabbit saw
was the Miller's Boy with bright
new axe chopping down the Ola
Chestnut Tree. Wasn't that a
shame? For that was where Old
Squirrel Nutcracker lived you know,
and Jimmy Chipmunk way down in
the roots and an old woodpecker
named Knocker.
Click, clock. Ny! how the chips
few. and pretty soon the Miller's
Boy took off his cap and wiped his
forehead and then he set to work
again chopping down the Old Chest
nut Tree.

Stop that" cried little Jimmy
Chipmunk, coming out of his hole
under the roots, but the Miller's
Boy paid no attention to him.

and would you believe it. he hoped
right in front of the Miller's Boy
and then jumped away. And, of
course, the Miller's Boy dropped his
axe and started after the little rab-
bit. And oh, my! Did they have a
race? Well, 1 just guess they did!
But a rabbit can go faster than a
boy with rubber boots. and pretty
soon the rubber boots stopped 60

Boy sat down on a log. And then
Billy Bunny stopped, too and stood
up on his hind legs and winked at
him. "Pll catch you some day."
said the Miller's Boy Grossly. and
then he turned around and started
back for the Old Chestnut Tree.
But when he got back there, what
cd you suppose had happened. and
who do you suppose had been there?
Mr.. Brown Bear. Yes, sir! Mr..
Brown Bear had walked up and TAX

smoked it. And then he began TO
laugh, for he knew how angry the
Millers Boy would be when he
found his axe was gone.
Well, I'm not going to tell you

tramped around for maybe an hour
looking everywhere for that axe,
and then, when he found it was no

Naval Operations.

London, Oct. 21.-The operations
on the Belgian coast are described in
thrilling narrative issued by the
admiralty. There had come a rumor
from up the coast that the Germans
had removed the heavy batteries
: with which the coast was armed, but
in the afternoon when a reconnois-
sance was made to the head of West
Deep, mile after mile of big guns
| awoke and blazed at the slowly
crawling screen of smoke in which
the ships had massed themselves.
Shells of all calibres, from 6 to II
inch, roared out from the coast and
! plunged into or burst upon the sea
| and spat leaking fountains of water.
| Only one burst was near enogh a
ship to drop fragments aboard her.
and between the spouts the smoke
making motor launches, each drag
| ging swelling tail of vapor behind
| it, moved unilurried, the men lean
ing from the rails with landing nets,
scooping up fish killed by the ex-
! blossoms.
| In the evening it was the turn of
the coastal motorboats, the smallest
of all. Their function was to pay a
visit to Zeebrugge, where the old
cross channel boat Brussels was re-
ported lying and sink her where she
lay. The boats working up to speed
| swung around in curve that had
the point of the mole. with the light
house and searchligt for it's center,
and drove in towards the beach at
Heyst, just east of zeebrugge.
At 700 yards the hulk of the Brus-
sells was yicible, clear enough against
the mole in the moonlight, with it's
| two tunnels standing against big
l eft afr Lnd
| dropping and were bombing, and to
this accompaniment the first tor
pedoes were then let go at 400 yards
and the boats bearing away seward
/ heard and saw the bursts OF three of
them.
Independent observation by an Of
ficer in the leading boat and by
torpedo specialist in the last boat,
1 agree that one torpedo hit the target
close to the stern. No boat was hit
and there were no casualties.
