Incident OF
AIR FIGHTING

London. July. 2O.-IIow a British
flying squadron turned the table on
German airmen who had been bomb
ing their acrodome is related by Lieut.
W A. Barnes Of the Royal Air Force.
I'VE had been giving the Hun live
~ time" the officer says, bombing
his dumps, billets, communications
and towns nightly When. there
fore. he bombed our aerodome two
evenings in SUGGESTIONS and complete
ly upset all our arrangements, it was
generally agreed he had scored one
over US. Much as his enterprise was
admired however, il was decided to
try to check it.
The plan evolved was simple. The
next day the British machines were
flown over TO a neighboring aerodome
where IL was believed they would be
safe from raids Then they started
on Just after dusk to make a reprisal
attack
1--WE arrived at the enemy's lair, "
said Lieut. Barnes, lat most oppor-
tune moment, for second relay Of
his machines were Just 'taxying
across the ground to take of in the
fare path. In our widest dreams we
had not hoped for such luck as this,
and every possible advantage was TAX
en- Of IL.
"A few well-direeted bombs, drop
ped right in among the machines that
were awaiting their turn to take of,
set fire to two and badly damaged the
Others Another machine was seen to
crash whilst actually taking of IN
the fare path. Some equally well-di-
rected incendiary bombs set fire TO
"a large shed. and then the real fun
Of the night began.
"By this time the hrst relay Of the
enemy machines. sent as we after
wards learned To bomb our own aero
dome again, began TO return. As
they were on their own side Of the
lines. and IN bllssful ignorance Of the
fact OF their aerodome, they were fly
ing with navigation lights full on,
thereby giving their position away in
the darkness.
Relieved of our bombs, We were
able TO give fight and successfully
shot down one in flames, while anoth-

OFFENSIVE
SURE ENOUGH
COMPARED TO BATTLE THAT
FocH PLANS THE PRESENT
BLOW IS BUT MINOR ONE.

Washington. July 2O.-war de-
partment officials expect the real
eounter-ohensive against the Ger
mans to be launched later in the
present year. This was disclosed to
members Of the house military COM
mittee by General March. chief Of
staff. who Indicated that the employ
ment Of possibly eight American d..
visions in the present double battle
on the Aisne- Marine Rheims front
would not affect materially plans to
hurl overwhelming man-power into
the great struggle to come when the
effort TO beat the enemy back of
French and Belgian soil begins.
II was made plain that the smash
ing attack Of Franco-American forces
on the Aisne-M Marine line is yet re
garded as only a minor operation IN
comparison Of what is to come. The
success Of the drive launched yester.
day by General Foch. however. ha,
already been startling. Official re.
ports from Paris tonight said that
1900 prisoners and $50 guns ha,
been captured The Berlin state
ment admitted French advances bu
ignored American participation an
claimed 10000 prisoners had bee
taken by the Germans in their driv,
launched last Monday. Apparentl,
the enemy commanders dare not ad
init to the German people that Amer
lean armies are already fighting ovei
a long front and scoring repeated
successes over veteran German di.
visions.

WAR SUMMARY.

Out Of the news filtering through
the clouds Of battle. over the ensan-
guined field between the Marine and
scissors. there came to light two sig
nifcant reports today
The allies are laundering at the
gates Of scissors. scarcely a mile and
half from the center Of the city.
while the Germans are retreating
across the Marne between Fossoy
and Neuissley.
German reserves rushed up the
western side Of scissors and Chateau
Thiorry have slowed the progress Of
the Franco-Americans, but nowhere
stopped IT,
Reports Of the German retreat
across the Marne come as eonfirma-
tion Of the success Of the allies far to
the north. The German forces south
: t1e river must be extricated quick
iy II at all.
French reports say the Germans
have been driven from south Of the
Marne. but it is probably the move
nent really is a hurried retreat or
dered by the German eomand.
From the Marne to Rheims the
French and Italians three days ago
in retirement are now advancing and
this is an indication Of German re-
tirement here too.
Italian troops north Of Lake Garva
have made considerable gains in
local attacks.

RAY PROSPECTORS HAVE
BIG WORK BEFORE Them

The mining districts of Pinal county
are more in the eyes of the world to-
day than ever before. This fact is
not realized locally to the extent that
it is in outside circles. Prospectors
can play as gerat part in winning
the war as can the boys in the
trenches. And the mine investor is
to be encouraged as never before
There are reasons and good ones, too,
as explained by 10 E. Curry, secretary
of the Arizona Mining Chapter of the
American Mining Congress, in state
ment made here early in the week,
while paying a visit to this district.
He said:
"The countries of Europe in all
likelihood realize the importance of
the prospectors' picks and of the
energies of capital in delving in new
copper country far more than it is re-
allied at home. They have no copper
to dig; but their need of copper to
shoot is vital. They must LOOK to this
country for the metal, and that being
the case their vision goes deeper than
can be expected from the people who
have been accustomed to having more
copper than they needed, which until
the last few years has veen the posi-
tion of the people of the United States.
The man with money in his pocket in
excess of his needs is never so much
concerned about how to keep up the
supply as the fellow alongside of him
who has nothing in ..is pockets, bul
must get osmething there immedi-
ately.

RAY HERCULES EXECUTIVE
PUTS UP SHOOT TROPHY

The Ray Hercules Rifle Club has
started of its shooting season by
opening to the public it's new rifle
range back Of the baseball park, and
putting UP as a trophy one CT the most
beautiful cups that has even been seen
in this section. This cup was pre-
sented to the club by Frank G. Arm
strong, president of the Ray Hercules
Copper Company. 1t is massive sill
yer and gold cup, inlaid with copper,
and the designs thereon were duph-
Gated from actual photographs taken
in the state OF Arizona.
Any American citizen over the age
of 16 years is eligible to shoot for
this trophy, provided he is in business
or is employed in Ray or Belgravia,
the cup going to the contestant who
wins it three times, not necessarily in
succession. No handicaps will be al
lowed, every man standing on his in
dividual ability as rife shot. Those
wishing to shoot for this cup should
arrange to see the secretary of the
club, L. A. Pope, at the office Of the
Ray Hercules Copper Company, for
admittance to the club as associate
members. A small fee will be charged
for admittance to help defray Incl
dental expenses in connection with
the handling of the range, markers,
pastors, etc. No other fees will be
charged.
Springfield and Krag rifles will be
furnished by the club for all who wish
to use them, provided they are re-
turned to the club at some point des-
ignated by the range officer on the
same day used. AT the present time
the club has only avery small supply
of ammunition on hand and is unable
to obtain a further supply from the
government. Whenever the club has
a supply of ammunition, however, it
will be sold to contestants at actual
cost.
