AMERICAN BI9MEN IM
 FOUR MORE BATTLES
In the Sector Northwest of TouI-None Was Decisive.

With the American Army in France, May 5-(By The Associated Press).- Four more aerial battles were reported today by American airmen flying in the sector northwest of Foul. All of the combats were indecisiye, although one of the American machines return ed with bullet holes in it's wings and two others with holes torn by frag- ments of shells from anti-aircraft guns. How the Germans fared is not known.
 The first report was from the pilot of a pursuit airplane who encountered the enemy over the lines at height of 5000 metres. The pair fought a duel for several minutes, the German final ly turning quickly and. running into the direct line of the sun in his home : ward way, getting clear.
 Later one of the American photo graphing machines was attacked by two enemy airplanes. The American l observer emptied one of his guns into one of the enemy machines. Then the | American pilot exercised discretion and turned homeward.
 The Germans remained in pursuit until the American anti aircraft guns picked them up. Then they turned and went home. The American air
 plane circled once or twice and then
 went back over the lines and calmly resumed the photographic operations
 where they had been left off.
 l Another report now available relates
 a somewhat similar incident, except
 that this time three of the enemy at | tackled two of our machines which
 were working with our artillery.
 In the fourth engagement a German
 sailed up in the direction of one oi
 the American photographic planes. but
 one of the fast American fighting ma chimes rushed in, causing the German to turn tail and fee towards home The German anti-aircraft pieces got busy
