Sat- | urday morning the British renewed , the attack on the village. . It was a battle in which the British gloried, for it took them back to the days of other wars, when men strug- gled out in the open. The tryving pe- riod of fighting behind sand-bag para- pets was temporarily past and they were at close grips with the enemy | where they could employ the bayo- net, which they know so well how to use. The Germans had rushed up re- inforcements which they had obtained by raking every point an the line. The village of Fontaine Notre Dame, i between Bourlon wood and Cambral ‘was still in German hands today. This shattered hamlet, however, was giving the British no cause for worry and at the latest reports they were ignoring it and continuing to push ahead. | The work of British airplanes dur- |ing the present offensive forms a graphic chapter in itself. Despite the . vile weather which compelled them to operate within a few feet of the ground, they kept steadily at thelr task and rendered invaluable aseist- ance both in reconnaissance and offen- sive operations. There have been almost continual battles hetween German infantry and British airmen flying as low as 20 feet above the ground. Never before has this kina of warfare heen carried out on such a large scale. Pilots have at- tacked infantry and gun crews indis- criminately wherever they encount- ered them and had inflicted heavy los- ses on the enemy with bombs and ma- chine guns. Nervy Aviator. One aviator attacked a column of German infantry marching in close formation and hurled two high-power bombs directly among them. The troops scattered, and as the airman whirled away he saw two heaps of dead about huge craters which the bombs had torn down. There were many cases of airmen successfully bombing airdromes, troops transports and gun crews. A large number of artillery crews have been wiped out either by machine gun fire at close range or by bombs. Naturally many of the airmen had miraculous escapes from death and some have pald the full price and gone to swell the toll of brave men who have given their lives for their king and country. Among these hairbreadth escapes is one aviator whose machine was torn to pieces while he was fighting with his machine gun. He was caught in the shell fire and all the wings of his machine were “shot away. Fortunately, he was flying only 20 or 30 feet above the ground and close to his own lines. He crashed in No Man's Land and, after finding himself unhurt, he immediate- ly came under rifle and machine gun fire. He found a German rifle and with some ammunition engaged the enemy single handed. As he fired he worked his way back until he reached one ot his own patrols There is not much humor in fighting of this nature, but one incident oc- curred which is making the British afr service laugh today. of the youngest British alrmen was fiying at a low altitude when four enemy machines opened on him. He swooped down and shot three of his opponents as he swept by. The fourth machine gun kept firlng and the aviator, in a spirit of boyish mis- chief, leaned over the side of his car and wriggled his fingers in joyous de- rision at the German. Just as he was in the midst of this interesting per- formance, his opponent put a bullet through the palm of the airman's open hand. The aviator presented himself at a dressing station and when queried ad- mitted the truth with crestfallen face. His consolation for his wound was Toars of laughter and advice to be more polite to a Boche in the future. WAR THANKSGIVING FIRST SINCE 1396 (Continued from First Page) whole One armory on Arch street at 10 a. m. Tonight at 7:30 o’clock these Polish soldiers will go in a body to the war bureau office in City Hall where they will receive gifts from the New Brit- ain chapter of the Red Cross. These gifts will include sweaters for every man as well as the soldlers’ pocket sewing kit and other trench outfits. Their own friends and Polish societies also plan to make the men some fare- well gifts, including among which will be trench helmets, wristlets and other articles for their comfort. Thanksgiving Menus, As an interesting sidelight on Thanksgiving menus the following prices, obtained at one of the lead- ing grocers this morning, may prove worth reading: Turkey, 60 to 65 cents per pound; chicken, 40 cents per pound; duck, scarce at 40 cents per pound; cranberries, 18 cents per quart; celery, 16 cents per bunch; apples, 650 to 75 cents per peck; po- tatoes, as high as 60 cents a peck; sweet potatoes, 40 cents & peck; tur- nips, 30 and 35 cents per peck. There is still that scarcity of sugar and all dealers are limiting their customers to a pound at a time. The price of this has been fixed at higher than 11 cents per pound by the government, grocers state, so that people will not have to pay higher than this amount. The scarcity of the commodity, how- ever, will probably have a material effect upon the sweetmeats prepared for Thursday’s dinners. ‘The Sunshine society intends to follow out its custom of bringing cheer into the homes where the sun- beams of friendship seldom enter. Gifts of fruit and vegetables may be left at the Y. M. C. A. tomorrow morning. BREAD PRODUCTION.
