Hold Unquestionable Superiority, Besting Enemy Air men in Every Style of Fighting, Even Excelling , in Bombing Raids ITALIANS SWEEPING NORTHWARD IN ALBANIA n By the Associated Press With the IlrltUh Army In Vrnnte, July 11. Superiority in the air, clean-cut ana Unquestionable, rests with tho British flying men today. There hae been periods In times past when it seemed that a very slight addition of strength to cither one" side or the other mlght tlp the balance temporarily, but no such period exists now British airmen are supreme. Not only have the 'King's flyers been maintaining a decldeU upper hand In the- Intense fighting In the olr, but the work of British bombing squadrons has far exceeded that of the enemy In v Igor and results In the morn spctacular field of operations, aerial fighting, the British have hounded hostile pilots until the greater part of their battles have occurred east of the German lines, and in numerous engagements, staged every day when the weather permitted, great numbers of hostile machines have been destroyed. One British aviator alone has sent tvvenety-nve crashing to the earth In the last few months and others of his comrades are not far behind In their total The work of bombing squadrons has been growing steadily and the British have been reaching further and further lntb German back areas In search of military objectives. There has been no let up. Day and night, squadions of British planes have kept up an almost endless bombardment of important posi tions and their accuracy in bomb drop ping Is testified to In scores of photo graphs of destructive hits ' Take Heavy Toll of Life Not only have railways, airdromes and other vital objectives Been effectual ly bombed, but the loss of life among German troops In concentration camps has been exceedingly heavy. Captured documents bear testimony to this and prisoners admit It i The British have conslstenly con ducted their raids from an exceedingly low height, some times coming down to within fifty feet of the ground to loose bombs The Germans, on the other hand, seldom enture below 10,00n feet be cause of their fear of the British anti crowded by marching troops. He then began a whirlwind of machine gun fire against the unprotected riflemen, who piobably suffered more casualties in tho next five minutes than they did In all tho rest of the battle The German airmen were doing a lot of low flying that day, as is their custom during battle, and they were thoroughly outfought, many of their airplanes being destroyed. Some With Vnudunl Venture Out of scores of aerial combats re- i cently there have been some that produced unusual features. On July 4 a battle-royal was fought between the Biltlsh and twenty hostile planes. De spite the fact that the. British were greatly outnumbered, they came out lctorlous Three of the enemy ma chines had been destroyed and another driven down out of control when the fight ended, while all the British re turned safely On July 1, near Brayc, a British cap tain, who was, leading an offensive pa trol, dived on a German biplane and pumped a stream of bullets fnto It, w hlle sitting directly on Its tall The enemy went dow n almost immediately In flames Tho captain then fired at another Gei man, who went down vertically, but what happened to him was not deter mined Then the captain, with three other planes.,' ttacked a great German fleet of about?jrty machines The cap tain so riddled one enemy scout that one of its wings fell oft and it crashed like a stone. He next wheeled on an other scout and shot It down out or control with bursts from aboe The captain, being almost out of ammuni tion, started to return home alone, when he was attacked by four German scouts Ho did a turn and a half roll and got onto the tail of the leader, upon whom he poured a volley from his machine gun until thp German dropped In a swirl of flames This exhausted the British captain's ammunition, and he flew for home.

I CZECHO-SLAV LEADERS ! BOLSHEVISTS SCORED WAIT ALLIED DECISION Believe-Their Place Is in West ern Front Instead of in Russia Wilson's Ideal Demand Bernhard then refers to Balfour s statement on peace which was pub lished before Von Kuehlmann's speech m l-Srl By the Associated Press New York, July 11 Leaders of the Czecho-Slovak move ment to establish an Independent State. whose troops are now fighting against armed German and Austrd-Hungarian former prisoners of war and against the Bolshevik in Siberia, are waiting to see what action the Allies will take regard ing intervention in Russia before de termining their own policy there Thej believe, however, their place is in the battle line on the western front. This announcement was contained ln a statement given out here by Charles Pergler, an attorney, who is the Amer ican delegate to the Czecho-Slovak coun cil and who is acting as secretary to Prof T G Masaryk, president of the council. Dispatches from London quote Vladi mir Hurban as declaring in Toklo on behalf of the Czecho-Slovak council, that the troops now In Russia do not want to become Involved ln Russian In ternal affairs, and that orders already Issued for transporting them to France could be modified only by Professor Masaryk, In agreement with other members of council Professdr Masaryk, who Is now In New York, and who is expected soon to sail for France, would make no formal statement, but Mr. Pergler con firmed the dispatches credited to Colonel Hurban "The memorandum presented at Toklo to the Japanese Foreign Minister and Allied ambassadors by Colonel Hurban expresses with exactitude the attitude of the Czecho-Slovak National Council and our troops have adhere to it with regard to Russian internal affairs," said Mr- Pegler, , "It must be remembered that tho Czecho-Slovaks are not Russians, that, when they were authorized to organize their Independent forces ln Russia and given the opportunity to fight the Cen tral Empires, they were the guests of tlje Russian nation, and could not with propriety mix up with things puiely Russian. When Russia dropped out of tho war our troop9 and the National Council, to whose political control they are subject, had but one thing ln view to "transport these troops to the western front, there to give such aid to the Al lies as they are capable of and .to fight for Independent statehood for the Czecho-Slovak lands. "Professor Masaryk, the president of our council, who was then In Russia, reached an agreement with the Bolshe vlkl forces that our men would be per mitted ,to proceed unmolested to points from which they could embark for France.

In a box were representatives of the Entente, among them British Consul General Lockhard In another box were representatives of the German embassy, among them Von Mirbach, who was mur dered two days afterward It was noticed that the Social Revo lutionaries kept away from the Bolshe vik! and held lively discussions within their own circle. After the president's address, a dele gate from the Ukraine, M Altxandrov, spoke He was greeted enthusiastically, and said ' "I came from a secret congress ln that land where the bourgeoisie and the German-supported Skoropadsky govern, the land of workers and peasants. Here, however, the government negotiates with Skoropadsky and tolerates ln Its midst the leader of the German imperialists, Count Mirbach " This caused thunderous applause from the Social Revolutionists. The speaker then described public sentiment in the Ukraine and asked for support to throw off the yoke of the Urest-Lltovsk peace. This statement occasioned new applause from the Social Revolutionists and pro tests from the Bolshevlkl. The Social Revolutionaries shouted: "Down with Brest-Lltovsk ! DownwUh Mirbach !" After order had been restored, Trotsny spoke about threatening symptoms from the Red army, parts of which at the Ukrainian front had taken the offensive against the German troops In spite of express orders. Then he referred to the Szecho-Slovaks and happenings In Si beria. "Kerensky!" shouted one delegate. "He. has the will of the bourgeoisie." Trbtsky replied, "And you have done the. will of Mir bach." the Social Revolutionaries shouted. Then Kamroff, a leader-of the Social Revolutionaries, spoke. "There are no provocateurs at the Ukrainian front," he said, "and no drunken, troops, but loyalists who will not be moved See how our brothers In the, Ukraine are shot down by these damned canaille " Saying this, he turned his eyes to the box where the German minister was sit ting. The Bolshevlkl protested, but the ' attow recognized officially by France as Scial Revolutionaries rose, shouting; -v- the- tuprejmo representative off the fu "Down with murderers'" "ThroT thtm from the Adriatic into southern t'erbla , alt for England's and Japan's pro posals on this question If these offer an adequate basis for negotiations, no Ger man Government will refuse to negotiate, all the less because Get many Is only a member In the alliance of the Central Powers Reasynable armaments will meet with approval ln Austria-Hungary It all depends on how the English and Japanese proposals look, for President Wilson's principle of the freedom of the seas will hardly be accepted " Bernhard says that the question of and would seriously threaten the enemy's hold on a great portion of the occupied areas of that country Starting at the Voytise Ulver the Italians, with the aid of British moni tors, have advanced to the Semenl River, a maximum of fifteen miles The near est portion of the old Roman hlghvvay Hes just the same distance northward, along the Skhumhl River, west of El-basan But the offensive also has far-reach plains Ameika as a lnlligerent QUENTIN ROOSEVELT DOWNS FIRST ENEMY Gets Close to Three Believing Them Friends, but Escapes terest to her. she can give the Dual Monarchy good advice Ing political aspects.
