ANOTHER PLANE IS BAGGED American Pilot Defeats German in Air Battle Star St. Mlhiel. Lieutenant Campbell First TJ. S. Flyer to Become "Ace." Washington; June 1. After ev- eral repulses the Germans apparently have abandoned, temporarily at least, their efforts to retake tne ground cap tured by the Americans at Cantlgny. General Pershing's communique for to day, issued tonight at the War Depart ment, said the day was quiet at all points occupied by the American troops. The shooting down of another hostile airplane is reported. WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN FRANCE. June-1 (By the Associated Press.) Another German airplane was brought down this morning by an Am erican pilot in an air battle, crashing near St. Mihlel, in the sector -northwest of Toul, according to unofficial Infor mation. Plane Fires on Hnna. Another reconnaissance plane flew ever the German trenches at a height of 200 meters for observation purposes. It was the target for a heavy fire, but re turned safely, its mission having been achieved. , Our reconnaissance planes accom plished numerous successful missions under the protection of pursuit ma chines. One suddenly swooped down from the clouds and fired 110 rounds Into enemy communicating trenches filled with men. The Germans returned a hot fire and the plane got back to its own lines with a number of bullet holes in it. Two German airplanes, in addition to the two previously reported, fell vic tims to American pilots In Thursday's ir fighting on the front northwest of Toul. according to reports from aerial observers for the artillery. These ob servers say that the machine with which Lieutenant James A. Melssner, of Brooklyn, collided on that day, tear ing the wing of the American airplane, fell to the ground after the collision. They also report that the machine with which Lieutenant Edward Ricken bacher attacked as the German airman was pursuing Meissner in his damaged machine also fell after Rickenbacher had made a long dive after it. Campbell Is First "Ace." To Lieutenant Douglas Campbell, of California, goes the honor of being the first "ace" in the American flying corps. It was Lieutenant Campbell who Fhot down the German biplane near Pont-a-Mousson yesterday. It was his fifth victory to be confirmed officially. It Is probable that another ace will be announced shortly, and the aviator to win the honor probably will be Lieu tenant Edward Ricbenbacher, of Co lumbus, O.. the former automobile racer. Official confirmation of the vic tory reported gained by Richenbacher Thursday will bring his string of vic tories to -the coveted five. With a number of other pilots. Lieu tenant Campbell was out early yester day. They were acting as patrols and as protection for an American observa tion machine returning with British bombing airplanes. Some distance away. Lieutenant Campbell saw a German airplane at a height of 4600 meters. He sped toward it, and when he got near the German the enemy biplane began to dart in and out, firing bursts from his machine gun. The German did his best to get a shot home, but Campbell kept circling and darting at high speed. The battle continued for 20 minutes before the enemy observer abandoned his gun. Campbell saw that' the German's am munition was exhausted and he closed In on him. Hon In Sent to Earth. Lieutenant Campbell tried to signal the German to surrender and descend on French soil, but the latter apparent ly decided to take a chance on getting home. The American got on the tall of the German, forcing him down, but all the time the enemy was getting nearer home. Lieutenant Campbell again sig nailed without success and then when the choice came of permitting the Ger man to escape or shooting him down, he cut loose with bis gun and poured a deadly stream of incendiary bullets into the German machine, which crashed to the earth inside our lines. Our first all-American Ace said: "I did not like the idea of shooting him down when he was not fighting, but I could not let him get away." Lieutenant Campbell downed his first German airplane on April 15 inside the American lines. For this achievement he was decorated with the French War Cross. His second enemy airplane was brought down on May 21 and his third and fourth victories were achieved in the 10 days up to Friday. Lieutenant Campbell is the son of W. W. Campbell, director of the Lick Observatory. Lieu tenant Campbell is 21 years old. 3 Hp75 1 i fewer J I -ftf11 f X ?7o,,euJp AVvXljV eeurJ --o ; PJi Q''"'"" 1 u ovf',lyTe C Z'r Ks Tv I - V o-flwtTl. . . .

There were many! aerial encounters yesterday. Bombing squadrons , dropped explosives on the enemy's troops in movement and at con centration points. Buchf Force Is Hujce. The formidable nature of the German offensive may be gathered from the absolute identification of nearly 60 of their divisions (about 675.000 men). There certainly are a number of other divisions In immediate support. The divisions talcing part in the of fensive which have been added most re cently belong in the volunteers' army. All of them were engaged' in the March battle and afterward were sent to the rear to be fitted out and to receive spe cial training. The French and British troops facing the German onslaught numbered about one-fifth of the great enemy army. Al though the Germans have thrown back the allies they have not been able to create a breach In their lines. The gradual retirement of the French and British has been executed with considerable skill. The Germans have never been certain where they were likely to meet with strong resistance. PROFITEER HUNT STARTS BOOKS OF BIG INDUSTRIES WILL BE INVESTIGATED. Twenty-Five Federal Accountants Dis patched to Go Over Account of Coal Operators. WASHINGTON, June 1. As the first phase of a big drive to check up excess profits and income tax returns of big business Interests 25 trained account ants were dispatched today by Internal Kevenue Commissioner Roper to ex amine accounts of coal operators in West Virginia, Ohio and Pennsylvania to ascertain whether any charges nhould be made. . The operation of these examiners will be extended within the next three or four months to other coal fields, and virtually all leading operators will be subjected to examination concerning the accuracy of their reports. This action Is not to be taken as implica tion of fraud, it was explained, but as precaution against errors which might deprive the Government of revenue. Similar examinations will be made eoon of wool manufacturers, cotton manufacturers, mining Industries, mu nition makers and oil producers. These industries are selected for special ex amination, because they showed ex traordinarily large profits since the war began, the internal revenue bureau explained. An Intensive campaign against tax dodgers will be started about July 1, two weeks after tax payments are due. Kead The Oregonian clasBifled, ad3, way point on the river, the situation is somewhat obscure, but the French apparently have a protecting line flung northwest from the Marne at Char teves, miles northeast of Chateau Thierry and linking up with their north and south line above the latter town, which the Germans . are strongly threatening. Rheims, on the left of the German advance. Is still in allied hands, and in general there is little apparent effort on the part of the Germans to enlarge their salient in this direction except at its narrow edge, where they are mak ing some headway and broadening along the Marne. The line between Rheims and the Marne takes the gen eral course of the Dormans-Rhelms road. Americana In Battle Area. Paris military commentators report the masses of the . allied reserves be ginning to take part in the action and it develops that American troops al ready are in the battle area, stationed at points whence their intervention will be easy when the time is consid ered favorable. News from the Italian front reflects the opinion that the long-expected Austro-Hungarlan offensive is likely to open shortly. Italy is declared to be thoroughly in readiness and probably better off than ever in the way of mod ern war material. WITH THE FRENCH ARMT IN FRANCE. June 1 (By the Associated Press.) Attempts of the Germans to cross the River Marne have met with rigorous resistance and failed. The troops which made the effort retired from the river bank. The enemy is increasing continually the number of troops engaged in the battle. The general Idea, when the of fensive began, appears to have been that each army division should occupy a front of only 2000 yards. Since that time the line of battle has been ex tended and in order to maintain the density of the attacking army further units have been brought from the rear and thrown into the fight. Hon Chiefs Pussled. The time and place of the return blow by the allies seems to be puzzling the German commanders, who are en deavoring to secure strong points for pivots. The task of strengthening the retir ing divisions of the allies, where this is necessary, was placed in the hands of the local reserves. It has been carried out exceedingly well under the most difficult circumstances. -As far as has been reported only comparatively small forces have at tempted to force a crossing of the Marne. German artillery has reached the heights behind the river in some force and was active early yesterday, but was not effective. By pushing on to the northern bank of the Marne, the Germans have brought the point of their fan-like movement to a sharp salient. -hey evidently are anxious to develop the advantage ' thus gained by pressing westward from Charteves to Chateau Thierry. . Enemy Is Watched. The correspondent watched the enemy's movements in this vicinity, which were plainly visible in the bril liant sunshine. All their efforts tended westward. The allied artillery Is taking splendid nrpH nn the German troons.
