There has been a big influx of people into towns outs-ride of London Fince the recent moon light air raids and at many places diffi culty at first was found in providing "accommodations for the visitors. Dur ing: the first few nights many of the poorer people who emigrated from the metropolis slept in the open, but since then the authorities have made ar rangements for sleeping quarters for them in public buildings. Most of the people are in London after daybreak each morning. In last night's air raid, 10 persons were killed and 38 injured. Londoners who, while heeding official warnings to take cover, show no signs of panic or even of great ex t-itement during the raids. The people have accommodated themselves to the enforced alterations in their method of living and are hurrying home at the close of their working hours to take an early dinner and prepare to spend the evening in the security of their homes or in the greater safety afforded by the protection of the subways, the base ments and other underground refuges. Hotel IMacea of Refute. Many carry wraps and food and make themselves as comfortable as the cir cumstances will permit in the corridors of the big hotels, which are becoming a favorite place for the residents, the walls affording protection against fly ing glass. -A. large proportion of the people con tinue their usual work. Last night, for example, the delivery carts continued on their rounds, the drivers taking cover when the bombardment became intense, only to proceed when the guns at intervals ceased firing. The London press is becoming strong- i critical or the government. Semi official explanations that the British cannot spare machines for rerlnrnra raids are questioned by the Northcliffe newspapers, the Daily Express and oiners, wnicn point out that the Ger mans are able to spare aircraft for raiding England and have enough along the battle lines to give the British a continuing tight for supremacy in the air. More Attacks Expected. Tt is argued that the Germans evi dently nave outbuilt the British in ait- craft and may be expected to continue building on an increasing scale and improve tne types of their machine "mi.: me oritisn are trying-to catch np with them. Predictions that this would be the case were made months ago by some of the newspapers and by experts like Montagu or Beaulieu. Lord Montagu also predicts that the Ger mans will soon pass the experimental stage of operation!! and be able to at tack London in all kinds of weather wuijjvrij infill.

BRITON VANQUISHES ENEMY Teuton Aviator Meets End at Hands of One of Allies' Most Brilliant Birdmen Body Found With in British Lines. fBy the Associated Pres.) BRITISH HEADQUARTERS IN FRANCE AND BELGIUM. Oct. 1. The body of the famous German aviator. Lieutenant Vosse, who was recently re ported in a German official communi cation as missing, has been found within the British lines and British airmen have already dropped messages behind the German front giving notice of his death. Vosse was killed September 23 while engaged in a spectacular combat with a British airman. It is a peculiar co incidence that the famous French air man. Captain Guynemer. lost his life about the same time in tattle over ene my territory and was reported missing uniu tne Germans found and identified his body. The opponent of Vosse is one of the most brilliant British aviators who, for the purposes of this narrative, may be referred to as Brown that not being his real name. Here is the story; Six Kngaa-e In Fight. A number of British planes were na - trolling on the 23d. flyiner at a height of 7000 feet, when one of them whs attacked by a German red-nosed alba tross and a triplane. It appeared later that Vosse was the Dilot of the tri plane. Two other planes rushed up and engaged these two. with a third enemy scout who appeared on the scene. Anout 11 other enemy airplanes were waiting at a distance to join in the fray, but did not attack, as some ten British planes were circling about, keeping them off. The third enemy scout who had Joined in the combat vanished, but the Albatross and the triplane fought in wonderful form. Brown singled out the triplane and a hard fight ensued. Brown got in a number of good bursts rrom his machine gun and several times had to change drums on his gun, so furiously was he firing. Hot Battle Wafted. For a long time the two opponents circled, dived and maneuvered for position and so close were they at times that only a few inches separated their wings. Eventually Brown got a little above Vosse and made for the triplane. the British airman working his machine gun steadily all the time. vosse passed Brown's right wing bv inches and dived. The British airman wheeled into position and observed the German gliding westward with his engine shut off. He dived again and got a good shot at his opponent; then followed this with a heavy burst from his gun and Vosse did a slight rieht- hand turn and continued to go down until he disappeared. This ended the adventure so far as Brown was concerned. He flew away, not knowing who his opponent had been or what had become of him. Later the shattered machine was found and the body identified. Briton Has Narrow Escape. There has been much hard fighting in the air recently and the aviators have had some remarkable experiences. One British Lieutenant flying last Wednes day had Just forced the enemy to pull down a big balloon, when he was en gaged by guns on the ground. He dived on the gunners and fired more than 100 rounds, dispersing the crew, who fled, leaving two of their number stretched on the ground. Continuing onward, the Lieutenant had nine separate combats. Eight of these were indecisive, but in the other case he brought down the German. In this last combat he cot right on the enemy plane, first killing the observer, then firing into the pilot and engines. The enemy plane spun down to earth. The British airman engaged still fur ther in righting and returned home very much shot about, one bullet hav ing pierced the ear pad of his flying cap.

Opponents of -the proposed extension of Greely street from Killingsworth avenue to Delpy street yesterday filed a protest against the starting of pro ceedings for the project. The protest is signed by IS persons owning prop erty in the district proposed to be as sessed for the tost of the work. The 'protestants say they were put to a great deal of trouble and expense once before in getting sufficient re monstrance to kill the project and they reel It is unfair to be fort-ed to go through the opposition again. Following is the protest filed with City Auditor Funk: To the Mayor and Council: At a petition has been filed Ity a iw property owners, requesting that proceeding he again com menced for the extension of tlreely mrptt. we have been selerted by tbe Peninsula Ad visory flub as a committee to represent the property ownets who are opposed lo the opening of this Htreet. Most of the people In this district travel principally by streetcar and would not be benefited by opening this street, but only the comparatively fewr who trnvel otherwise. Iteallzine; this to bs the condition, bist year a remonstrance was filed by more than property-owners represeniins from one to r.oo lots each, and It is well known there Is a largo number of others (bcsiries these that are protesting. A renewal of proceedings would compel the people to tro to much expense and trouble to protect themselves against this unneces sary and unjust proposition: and for these and other important reasons in behalf of all who are protesting, we respectfully request that the petition be denied. tt.

FIRE MAINTAINED WEEK Relier and Ration Parties Have difficulty In Reaching Front. Captives' Found Dazed by Ferocity of Attack. (By the Associated Press.) BRITISH HEADQUARTERS IN FRANCE AND BELGIUM. Oct. 2. The badly punished German troops east of Ypres today were largely resting on their arms after reverses suffered yes terday when they attempted in a series of fierce counter-attacks to drive the British back. Possibly the designation "resting" is a misnomer, for the enemy was sitting under a terrific bombard ment from hundreds of big guns, which were deluginar his back and forward acreas with high explosives and turn ing his fastnesses Into twisted masses of debris, which formed the graves of the defenders. Any of the nerve-racked. half- stunned German prisoners who have lived through these bombardments can tell of the tragedy now beinz enacted along the German front in this section of Belgium. Thanks to the German counter-attacks, there has been hardly a moment's cessation of the intense ar tillery work of the British since last Wednesday, when Field Marshal Haig's troops executed their latest offensive. (erman Drfeiuei Demoralized. Captured Germans say that their for ward defenses have been greatly de moralized by this ceasefess Doundine. Relief and ration parties venture out. to De turned back or to make their miserable way forward by circuitous routes to the men holding the advanced shellholes. who have often been com pelled to hold on without water or proper food. Badly needed ammunition has frequently enever reached its des tination. Every approach to the German lines is covered by British guns, making the movement of enemy infantry an ardu ous process.- Naturally, the question arises what effect all this is having on the morale of the German troops. It is generally admitted among the pris oners that the morale of their men has deteriorated since the beginning of the battles in Flanders. Divisions which !iave been through one siege on the German front lines sometimes resent being used a second time in this position. This marks a striking change from the former atti tude of the German troops, who have worked as unthinking machines to carry out unquestioned orders issued by their officers. British Spirit Rise. Meanwhile the spirit of the British troops is daily climbing .higher. Two more counter attacks were at tempted by the Germans against . the British lines between the northwest corner o'f Polygon wood and the Menin road last night, but. as in the case of three heavy assaults made during the day, the enemy was smashed by artil lery and rifle fire. . . There is no doubt that the punish ment being dealt out to the Germans Is tremendous. Every prisoner taken admits that, and appears to be glad to be in the hands of the British. BERLIN, via Ixir.iun, Oct. 2.
