THE OREGON DAILY: JOURNAL. : PO RTLAND, : THURSDAY; MAY' 81, 191?; 8 HEWS THAT AMERICAN AVIATORS WILL HELP IN WEST WELCOMED If,. American Plans Mature German Armies Can Be-Almost Completely Blinded. ER MANS SHELL OWN MEN fceporte o Captured Aviator Whvw Z.ack of n;n prevented Aocur- te Direction of Barret's. ' Br William Philip Simms. TVJth he British Armies 111 the Field, May ll-(tJ. -Kothlni!1 that Amer- h ytaiti to do In f lghtln. Germany fias aroused mor Interest here at the front than news recelvel today of plane for a vast fleet of aeroplanes, manned by thousands of American aviators. Germany's aerial eye is already bad ly damaged. The allied supremacy In the air has several times handicapped the snemy. A report recently rouna on a raptured German officer showed that, through lack of proper aerial reconnaissance, th Prussian artillery has frequently turned its fire on the German instead of the Britten lines. German Gunners Confused - Four such instances were detail 1 in the report of thlfl one officer. Bach time the Germans turned a terrific barrage fire into their own, instead of the enemy trenches, the ranee had not been .corrected by aerial observation. In these four instances reported, the killing and maiming of Germans by 'their own guns forced evacuation of the trenches thus fired upon. , If America follows out her plan for a vast aerial fleet, she has the chance almost completely to "blind" the Ger man armies. Not for one moment, in these bright, summery days, do the British fliers, stop their eternal aerial offensive. On the ground below there may be periods of rest or lulls where the opposing armies are either deadlock 1 or rest ing; but in the battlefields of the' sky there is unending war. Xmpertaaee of Banality BeaUssd The Prussians are fully awake to the prime importance of maintaining at least an approximate equality in the air and ar fighting desperately to hold -such a' "place in the sun." But indications multiply that th enemy is hard pressed to. keep up-even the numerical strength of his aerial battalions. The German war planes seem to be more flimsy of construc tion. One R. F. C. man today reported bringing down a Boche with five shots from, his Colt automatic pistol. It wasn't a lucky hit of the pilot, but a smashing of some Important part that sent the German machine whirling from high aloft, crumpled and twisted out of form. Portentous "Quiet" oa Front Local attacks, raids, mutual bom 'vbardments, incessant minor activity continued today all along the front; but . there was portentous "quiet" in the strictly military sense. No masses Of troops were in action. A small British action south of the Bcarpe staged early this mo.nlng was a failure. The Prussians were too wide awake and the British attack waa broken up. At 1:30 a. m. British guns began active bombardment of the Hlndcnburg line northwest of Bullecourt, and for some distance along that sector. Half an hour later the enemy retaliated with a similar period of artillery fire against British positions west of Bulle court and southeast of Crolsilles. Attempt at Kald Cheeked, In the meantime the British nipped an attempted German raid around Kleurbaix and sent the Bochca scurry ing dock across No Alan's Land. The Germans are plainly pu cried by the lull in the general Offensive move ment. Their lines are excited into irruptions of star shells and volleys Of machine gun Tire at the slightest movement in tho British trenches. Brltish sclentlsttr have discovered in New Guinea a race of pygmies living at an altitude of about 2000 feet. hi m m .You can't go wrong If you select a theatre showing this grsat pic ture serial at which to . spend a pleasant hour. . ,V Mystery of the Double Cross is s swift- . fy moving, absorbing story of action and sur prise. .

(uV K) if a rU general conference of Socialists ma terialises at Stockholm, it was semi officially indicated Wednesday that the British government would , not be disposed in. any way to -prevent at tendance - of British Socialists. It was considered . problematical, how ever, whether any. real conference of this nature was In prospect. It was pointed out that it was the British. Socialists and laborites them selves who rejected invitation to at tend the German-inspired Stockholm conference not the. government .which forbade their attendance. British Socialists themselves indl caied they were disinclined to change their previous refusal to send dele gates to the German-called Stockholm meeting. They eaid, however, -that an acceptance had already been sent, to the meeting caller by the Russian revolutionists at the same city at a later date. : " ; . - .

"He Is conspicuously the foremost candidate because of his having been tried and found true: we can look back upod his service as commissioner and find the , unmistakable stamp of the honest man, unaffected by the importunities of those seeking special privilege." -This. Is part of a tribute paid to W. Li Brswster, candidate for city commissioner, ' by Isaao Swett at the first of a series of' neighborhood meetings In the Interest of Mr. Brew ster's candidacy held In Westmoreland Wednesday night.

"And yet another trait marks him conspicuously. He knows no Ism. Devoted j, singly to' right action, all lines are wiped out to him. Be one Tich or poor, influential or without influence, .of whatever political belief or. faith, ' as commissioner he gives the same patient attention to every person. . School Children Protected "Voters can afford to take no chances. There can be no doubt-of tho worth, of the eminent fitness, of the .integrity, fthe scrupulous hon sty of . Mr. Brewster. Mis election should be assured. It is also well to .remember that as city commissioner he was mainly -esponsible for pas sage of the meat inspection ordinance, the traffic ordinance and an ordinance protecting. School children on the Streets' near the school builalngs." . In the course Of his talk Mr. Swett referred to Mr. Brewster's, able hand ling of the unemployment problem during the winter of 1113-14, declar ing that "with his valuable and care ful- assistance, : it became possible to meet' the problem in a manner reflect ing great credit on the city.

They have found that in wash ing the hair it is never wise to use a makeshift, but is always advisable to use a preparation made for sham pooing only. Many of our friends say they get the best results from a simple home made cantbrox mixture. You can use this at a cost of about three cents a shampoo by getting some canthrox from your druggist, and dis solving a teaspoonful In a cup of hot water. Thla makes enough shampoo liquid to apply to all the hair Instead of Just the top of the head, as with most preparations. "Dandruff, excess oil and dirt are dissolved and entirely disappear 4n the rinsing water. Tour hair will be so fluffy that It will look much heavier than it is. Its lustre and softness will also delight you. Bring This Coupon AJTO OUT 2QEXTBA20 "S. A H." Trading Stamps on 'your first $1 cash pur chase, and double on the balance.
