up In enthusiasm what 1t lacked in at.

a newly awakened patriotism stirred
In them, and greater desire to dc
their part in this great struggle. More
meetings will be held by the Liberty

Pacific engine driven by N. H. Sher-
wood was forced over the Warren
Spruce log dump in West Toledo and
1t and two cars now lie at the bottom
OF the bay. The engine was pulling
fifteen cars Of spruce logs and piling,
and when It reached West Toledo It
found the switch thrown for the log
dump instead Of connecting up with

Ibut failed to work. The engine was
reversed but could not hold the heavy
load on the slight grade to the dump.
The engineer, firsman, and train crew
all jumped to safety. The engine, ca
boose and one or two cars OF logs
went over the end Of the dump before
the heavy train stopped.

rega riding the increasing asccendancy
of the allied airrnen on the western
front. This has been especially evident
since the American airmen have be-
gun to appear in force and have proved
themselves of the same mettle as the
French and British filters.
1t has become common place
among British airmen that their OPP
ponents will not face combat III the
air unless in strength Of three or four
to one. and German prisoners have told
of German airmen being punished by
their flight commanders for returning
bombs and ammunition which they had
been ordered to drop over the British
lines. 1t is becoming increasingly hard
to find a German airman over the al
lied side of the lines in tn. daytime,
as is proved by the Germans own adj
mission that when they do manage to
! bring down an allied machine 1t is al
most always over their own territory.
Perhaps the most striking evidence
of German official anxiety regarding
the allied superiority in the air is to
be found in the official German wire
less news. This. while always magma
tive and rarely accurate. has Of late
been singularly wild and full of fic-
ton regarding the situation in the air.
In an effort to counteract the depress-
ing effect of the real facts OF the situa-
ton the German wireless editors make
the widest statements, bordering al.
most on humOr.
Thus a recent copy of the German
wireless report says: Superior meth
|. DDS of flying and greater skill have Sc
cured for the German air force sue
cesses on scale such as were never
known before" The same statement
refers in glowing terms OF the '.reck-
less attacking spirit" OF she pilots OF
the German chasing planes-a phrase
which provoked much merriment
among British, French and American
airmen. who OF late have found that
even one OF the reconnaissance ma
chimes can rely on putting to flight
companied by three or four of its own
kind.
IF Germany is really pleased with
her air record for the past few
