(WILLIAM PHILLIP SIMMS. X '
WITH THE BRITISH FX FRANCE
June 6 Jut aa events on the ground
are shaping thenHelves fnr a final
crash which will Inevitably decide
the world's fate, so the aerJul offen
sive Is dally waxing- fiercer.
' The mutual struggle for the air's
mastery has scarcely ceased day or
night. '
British airmen felled 336 German
In less than three weeks up to June 2
of which 28 3 were totally destroyed.
- 8omeilmes the agonized pilots Jump
ed from the burning; planes In midair
a.nd went whirling over and over,
landing far from the machine'
wreck.
During- the same period' 536 tons
of high explosives were dropped be
hind the German lines.
Feats Spectacular.
The Zeebrugge mole, Bruges docks.
railway stations and munitions works
far Inside Germany have been attack
ed and repeatedly set afire. On one
day a boyish- British airman shot 34
Prusslons from the sky, dropping 59
tons of bombs on enemy military cen
ters, going as far as Bruges, disdain
Ing; , anti-aircraft shells bursting
about, and swooping low and starting
disastrous flrea along the waterfront.
Next day the same raiders charged
several German air fleets, demolishing
ti crau. ine wrecss somersaulting
to the ground. Klsewfrere they drop
u ped S3' tons of high explosives, going
aa far aa Karlsruhe where they
bombed trains, stations and war
work although ferociously attacked
by German planes. The fighting
Patrol so perfectly protected the
bombing planea.that only one Brit
isher was lost. These two exploits
occurred May 20 and 31. June 1 I
saw an air battle -resulting In. the
downfall of 25 planes. The same
night 27 tons of bombs were dropped
on the Keebrugge mole.
; Allied Air Victory Near.
- German warplanes are more dar
ing. They bombed many towns and
villages behind allied lines. Hospitals
were the worst sufferers. Several
hundred patients, doctors, SlHtara and
attendants were killed outright nnd
some burned alive. With the Am
ericana the allies are now able to In
crease rapidly the silled advantage
In the sky. and airmen are confident
the enemy will soon be completely
outdone.
BRITISH PRESS SAYS
SUBMARINING WILL
' MEAN DETERMATION
. LONDON", June . The - British
press believes the submarine opera
tions agxlnitt the coast were Intended
to lure back Amerlcon destroyers and
patrol boats from Kuropean wnters.
btia are confident that result is not
accompllHhed.
The bombardment of American
coast cities Is considered entirely pos
sible. '. The first news ow the submarining
was published here yesterday after
noon. The express said: "IMrates
have plenty of opportunity for mis
chief in the western Atlantic. It is
possible some American seaports will
be bombarded. An extension ef the
campaign will mean some loss, with
certain retribution and hardening of
American determination. America
can protect herself and help us. too."
The Graphic said, "This desperate
search for victims Is & proof of the
straits to which Germany Is reduced.
A number of victims Is the result ol
the" attacks being unexpected. Th
United States Is now prepared."'

MAY CASUALTIES
OF BRITISH REACH
TOTAL OF 166,802
XrONDOX, June- . Casualties fn
the British ranks reported during the
month of May reached a total of
166,802. The losses were divided as
follows:
Killed or died of wounds: officers
1,636; men 20,518. Wounded or miss
ing: officers 6.182; men 138,566.
British casualties reported week by
week have recently been running near
the 40,000 mark, evidently represent
ing the losses sustained during the
!inninS of the German offensive in
March.
The total reported during April was
only 52,475, as the lists apparently did
not begin to reflect fully the effects of
the casualties sustained in resisting
the German thrusts m Picardy and
" t." w 1
Flanders until the beginning of May.
EXPECT NEXT BLOW
WILL FALL TO LEFT
PARIS, Juno 6. Marcel JIutin, the
French military expert, declared it is
"clearly evident that action will de
velop farther to the left of the present
battlefront. probably in the Monte
tndier and Noyon front. Tho right
wiug of the Crown Prince's army Is
doubtless preparing for violent pres
sure north of Compiegne.'
Paris Still Objective.
IsOXDON. June 6. British military
writers agree the present slackening of
the Marne offensive does not mean I
that Germany's effort Is ended. It is
merely a 'halt for bringing up artillery
and to reorganize the transportation
system before a next blow, which may
change direction Blightly but will still
be toward Paris.
