TEUTONS LOSE PRESTIGE AS AIR LEADERS IN WAR Germans Start to Fly in Great Flocks and at Great Height t ! With the American Army In | France, May 21.—Control of the air no longer belongs to the Germans along the Toul.sector. Aerial activity there seems to be increasing dally, but the Germans are not permitted to prowl about freely. Two hostile airplanes have been brought down by American aviators, an official announcement issued at American headiuarters said last evening. . Fighting Ar..er<jan airmen have locked wihgs with the enemy, and to-day the tally of machines brought down is overwhelmingly in their fa vor. In fact, they have had such good fortune that they are wonder ing whether it can keep up without change. They are not passing by a single chance to get at the enemy. The German airmen have started to fly In flocks at a great height. Early yesterday morning five of them came over together at 6,000 meters (about three and two-third miles), 2,000 (6.500 feet) above the ordinary flre of the "Archies." The alarm was given promptly, but as soon as the Germans saw five Americai} pursuit planes climbing to meet them they turned and started home rapidly. Fliers Speed Far Into Germany More German squadrons have made their appearance opposite the Amer ican sector, but to the Americans the increased number simply means that many more chances of adding notches to their machine guns. While the enemy has Increased the number of his fliers, his airmen in turn have increased their caution. Only seldom does a Boche venture , far within the American lines. When he does he usually takes advantage of the clouds and flies so high he can get home before it is possible for our aviators to ascend to his al titude. On the other hand, our fliers i often penetrate Germany for a great | distance. ments, and will be announced the end of the week.
