LUXE M BURG

The whole world understands and
appreciates the tragic position of
heroc Belgium and Sirba and all the
allied peoples have deep sympathy
only scant attention has been given
to the bitter lot of the people of
Luxembourg.
For four years now the citizens of
Luxembourg have lived isolated under
the yoke of German military domino
tions. 1t is said there are 5000 LuXem-
burg volunteers in Frances foreign
Logon and that they are gallant figh-
faced the cruel devastation wrought
1t is true that Luxembourg has not
ters on theside of justic and humanity
by defensive fighting against the Ger
man legions on their own soil. but
war has come by air, and just as it
has been necessary for the Entente
Allies to bomb German billets in Bel
GUM and French towns so they have
frequently had occasion to bomb Lux
emburg and with deadly effect.
Naturally the German propagadists
in Luxembourg, as in Belgium. have
tried to arouse hostility against the
ntente by exploiting the air raids, but
again as in Belgium their efforts have
proved singularly unsuccessful. The
LuXemburgers persist, in spite of all
propaganda. in regarding the German
invader as the real culprit; they
recognize clearly that Luxembourg is
raided because the German is there
Protests by the Luxembourg parement
and government against Germany's
action in placing anti-airft guns "a
round Luxembourg have been un
availing.

1t will be necessary for some of our
larger farmers to acquaint themselves
with the potatoes drying house and
its advantage where enouht isthought
of the potato crop to save it after it
has been made. Potatoes are becom-
ing a crop of great value and the
whole country has learned to call for
them. 1t begins to look like the potato
drying house has become a necessity.

Unfortunately, the German were too
far off to be attacked successfully
and the British pilot figured that IL
they realized his presence they would
fly for home and safety long before
he could get within range. He there
fore flew up into the clouds and turn
ed in the direction in which the enemy
machines we're moving.
Judging his time, he pushed the
nose of his machine downward, diyed
out of the clouds to the German be-
meath, and when close enough to be
fairly sure of his mark, pressed the
trigger of his gun. A stream of lead
played about the German machines,
None of them returned his fire.
Once before the pilot had heard Of
similar occurrence. This flashed
through his mind, and pulling back
the control lever, he scared UP again
into the clouds, He was only just in
time, for as he vanished into the vapor
three enemy scout appeared. The slow
machines were the bait and tire Brit
ish airplane was the expected prey,
for its pilot was well-known and fear
ed by the German in that part of the
line.
Once he knew what the odds were
against him, he no longer hesitated
Down once more out of the clouds he
came, straight at the nearest scout.
A short burst from his machine-gun
and the hostile machine waved, then
slowly fell into spin hurting down
wards and crashing far below
The odds we're still five to one
True, three of the enemy machines
taken alone might have been account
ed for one by one, but the addition OF
two fast-flying scouts manoeuyred by
skilful pilots gave the matter differ
ent aspect The Britist pilot did not
wait, but no sooner had one machine
fallen than he flew at the next, bank
ing looming, sideslipping, ever trying
to reach the vulnerable spot in the
enemy's armor All the time the sec
ond scout was trying to secure favor
able position to fire at the attackel
and the three old two-seaters were
firing long range bursts as opportuni-
ty afforded
For some minutes this competition
for position continued, each party
firing short bursts without definite
result, Then suddenly the deciding
factor arrived.
Out Of the sky doomed two-seater
British fighter of the latest type. 1t
was proceeding on special errand Be
for the Germans had reallzed his
arrival the new pilot seered his mach
hine into the midst of the fight. A
long burst from his rear gun caused
one of the German fighters to stagger
flight, then dropits nose and leave the
combat Evidently the pilot had been
hit. Then together the two Brit
ish machines charged the German. A
short skirtmish ensued before the enc

better part of valor
