It was only a few days ago that
pilots, after having had sc, erh weekB
experience, began to complain OF the
scarcity Of hostile planes visible In
the sectors they were ordered to
patrol So they made special request
for permission to visit a lfvelier region
on their right After some delay and
full consideration of the Americans
experience. the necessary order was
given. The result Of the first days
endeavor was that four hostile air
planes were brought down in flames
and two others were sent down out Of
control. There were no losses for the
Americans. who had been attacked
simultaneously above and below. Th,.
attack was very nicely foiled.

Two Germans fell IN sight of the

FRENCH PEOPLE
 LAUD PERSH|NC
 FOR OFFERED AID

Paris, March 30-Gen. Pershing's sincere and manly words in placing at the disposal of Gen. Foch the entire resources of the American army have gone straight to the heart of the French people.
 Echoe de Paris says France as a whole does grateful homage to the United States, adding ''to use the language of surgeons, we may say there has been and there is more than ever today transfusion of blood be- tween the two countries"
 The Petit Journal says: Gen. Per- shing's act asking so nobly to share in the honors and sacrifices of that battle of nations, now in preparation, is solemn warning to the Central em- pires of the grim resolve of free na- tions to conquer"
 "Gen. Pershings words to Gen. Foch have in their simplicity deep mean ing" says the Figaro. ''They bring put the magnitude of the stake at is sue. One Of the events of the Somme hangs not only the fate of England and France, but of civilization and progress for which Germany victorous, would substitute her coarse methods of human exploitation"
 L'Oeuvre says: Certainly the Boches did not foresee such rapid in- tervention< They soon will have op- portunity to judge it's growing import ance. They shall see these new sol diers, pressing on in serrid ranks, inn patient to try their virgin weapons Turning to thd deastward, they will see behind them the Japanese. trembling with eagerness, ready to spring"

South Norwa1k, March S0-"Be- cause of lack of evidence, your hon. or,' Prosecuting Attorney Cramer C.. Hegeman said in court today to Judge George H. Vosburgh, q would suggest that the charges against these men be nolled."
 ''These men, referred to, were Police Commissioner William J. Moore, Attorney J. J. Linxwei1er, Robert McAllister, Harry Tarlov, Aime Tarlov, R. c. Willard and Geo. Hopkins, who were arrested at an early hour on Wednesday morning ar Dr. Moore's private office on Wash ington street, charged with gaming, by a squad of police headed by Ser geant Bryan Silk.
 The men when arrested gave false names, why, it is not known, and were released in bonds until today. The players when arrested admitted that they had been playing cards but said they were not gambling. Judge Vosburgh did not nolle their cases, but instead entertained a mo- ton from Judge Joseph R. Taylor and Judge William F. Tammany counsel for the accused, for an abso- 1ute discharge and granted the dis charge.
 The raid is said to have been "spite work by the police.
