On the military front, the war ministry reported "revis-al of ac tivity on the part of contact units," and "local artillery ac- i tions." Unofficial reports described an aerial battle Monday as an even greater French victory than the government commun ique Indicated at that time. They said 13 Frenchmen, fly ing American Curtlss planes, battled 43 German planes in three different engagements, bringing down 12 or possibly 13 Germans without loss to them selves. The communique had said nine French planes downed nine out of 27 Germans. ... A. i Balsamo, iora, new iont, out Turkey Thompson, 157, Los An- Balsam Franklin. t,v....-- Eeles (10). Houston, Tex.
