PERSHING PRAISES

American Flier Bring Down

Washington, May 10, Gen. Pershing

In his communique to the War' Depart

ment to-day says'

HEADQtrARTlins AMERICAN KXPKDITION-

art Forces, May 19.

Section A Aside from the activity

of the air forces on both sides the day

was quiet at all points occupied by our

troops. Our aviators brought down

two hostile machines.

Section B Repocts In hand show a

notable instance of bravery and devo

tion shown by two soldiers of an

American colored regiment operating

In a French sector. Before daylight

on May 1." I'rlvate Henry Johnson and

Private Koberts while on sentry duty

at some distance from one another

were attacked by a German raiding

party estimated at twenty men, who,

advanced In two groups, attacking at

once from flank and rear.

Both men fought bravely In hand to

hand encounters, one resorting to the

use of a bolo knife after his rifle

Jammed and further fighting with

bayonet and butt became impossible.

There is evidence that at least one and

probably a second German was se

verely cut. A third Is known to have

been shot.

Attention Is drawn to the fact that

the colored sentries were first attacked

and continued fighting after receiving

wounds and despite the use of gren

ades by a superior force. They should

be given credit for preventing by their

bravery the capture of any of our

men. Three of our men were wounded,

two by grenades. All are recovering,

and the wounds in two cases are slight.

Major Lufbery waa killed in flight

during' which he had been In combat.

He was seen to fall from his machine,

which itself fell a short distance from

him. He was possibly wounded or

dead before he fell. Earlier reports

stated that he was at the time engaged

In a long tunning flght and was flying

upside down at 3.000 feet.

Last night one of our aviators en

gaged two German planes and brought

down one In the vicinity of Apremont.

This morning Lieut. Douglass Camp

German reply to the protest against

The possibility of a German-Japanese

says :

"Events are now rlnenlnc in the Far

1 doubt If any army fighting In this

war feels more passionately the, cause

of common patriotism and common alms

than do the units in the mats made up

of Individuals whose names their grand

fathers would have found mutually un

pronounceable and who largely worship

God in ways their fellows In the ranks

never heard of.

In the proximity at the moment are

British units, and It is hard to say

which speaks of the other with more

enthusiasm. The Americans are elo

quent regarding the praise, helpfulness

and comradeship of the British, and the

latter are enormously Impressed with

the keenness and deadly earnestness of

their allies.

I'nlts Help Each Other.

In theory It Is the Americans who

are doing all the learning and the Brit

ish, from their hard won knowledge, are

only anxious to help teach. But ever

there Is a profound suspicion that the

Americans are teaching about aa much

as they learn, even If their standing

motto is keenness and teachability.

Three years of experience have made

us dreadfully expert. In the deadly tech

nlCof war, and that It It which the

Americans are In a hurry to learn.

In the avidity of the Americans' ab

sorption of this knowledge and their con

centration and determination to win, It

Is the British who are taking lessons

from their pupils.

"We are ctiiefly busy now." a member

of the staff aald to me. "with maps."

Certainly a staff which has to begin,

de novo, to wrestle with the problem of

army mups out here has something:

wnerewun io wresue. nut i nuui-cu

while he snoke that already these men

had adopted a plan for familiarising all

ranks of the unit with those same maps

In a way which, so far as I know, we

never adopted. They may be fooled on

mapa for the moment, but shortly, un

less I am much mistaken, the common

soldier of the American army Is going

to know more about them tnan tne aver

age common soldier of the British or

French army has thought of knowing.

British Practice Adopted.

As far as practicable the American

troops In the British army tone arc

adopting British practice and equipment

In' details where diversity might cause

confusion, although there are particu

lars In which the British equipment is

rather painfully difficult to reconcile

with the American drill. These things

are trifles, however, which will disap

pear before the enormous willingness of

purpose which animates these new

forces. Nothing counts except to fight

as efficiently as possible and win the

war aa early as it can be won.

In the presence of these men yester

day it was Impossible not to smile at the

confident German prophecies mat Amer

ican armies never could gat to Europe.

They are making an amaslngly good

Imitation of getting here, and those I

t should like to specify exactly where

the American troops on this front are

Knickerbocker avenue, Brooklyn, to the

apartment of Michael J. Proveniano, an

American father who Is proud that his

three sons, as he expressed It, "are at

fatherly pride.

A letter carrier brought the first mes

his father's consent, had been promoted

from the Job of private lii the Twenty

I was to have my first smoke and she brought me a

Its mild fragrance went right to the spot. I never

'Did 'John D.' donate these?' I inquired. The nurse

laughed. 'That's just part of our regular 'welcome

IRISH DESERTING

SINN FEIN LEADERS

Coiillmird from First Pagr.

taken a keen Interest In the events

happening since Saturday. There has

been a distinct effort by tho extremist

Irish element to make capital out of

th visit of the Americans, but the

.delegates proved a match for all In-

trlgues, and succeeaea in meeting mm

Rpeaklng with representatives of all

shades of opinion, without embarrass

ing consequences.

A Sinn Fein demonstration yesterday

at Cootehlll, East Cavan. was attended

by d.OOO persons. Among the speak-

era were two priests. I lie rutin rein

ers boro a banner Inscribed: "They

may kill our leaders, but they cannot

kill the Sinn Fein."

The Sinn Felnera apparently do not

Intend to be hurried Into any Ill

advised outbreak by the recent turn

of affairs. They have nominated Prof.

John MacKelll and Alderman Kelley of

Dublin to the places In the organisa

tion made vacant through the arrest

of Prof, de Vnlera and Arthur Griffith.

The newly appointed leaders arc men

of less revolutionary type than those

who were arrested. One of them, Prof.

MacNclll of the National University,

formerly was Chief of Staff of tho Irish

National Volunteers. Although ar

rested at the time of the 1916 uprising,

hn was credited by John Dillon with

having broken the back of the rebellion.

Vfe was sentenced to prison for a long

term, but subsequently was released,

and wan reappointed to the faculty of

the university.

Alderman Kelley Is a working man

and In no sense a revolutionary. He Is

moderate In his political views, and Is

principally known as an advocate of

teototallRm. He was In custody for a

short time after the 1916 disorders In

Dublin, but was released almost Imme

diate v.

Prof MacNelll has been Identified with

the Intellectual aide of the Sinn Fein,

and until 1914 was known as a Consti

tutional Nationalist. MacNelll Is the

only one of the conspicuous Sinn Fein

leaders who was not arrested last week.

His Immunity to arrest generally Is

credited to a belief In his moderation.

On St. Patrick's Day Prof. MacNelll

sent to America an expression of warm

hope that the United States would win

the war for the Entente Allies and

would secure the freedom of small peo

ples. He was the only Sinn Fein leader

who made such a declaration.

The nominal head of the Sinn Fein

since the arrest of Prof, de Valcra Is a

priest. Father Offanagan of Roscommon,

who occupied the honorary position of

vice-president of the society, and may.

therefore, be regarded as De Valera's

successor until another president is

chosen.

Father Offanagan generally Is re.

garded as an extremist and a fighting

man. He formerly was known as an

Industrial and agricultural reformer,

warmly supporting the movement headed

by Sir Horace Plunkett. chairman of

the recent Irish Convention, for the

cooperative distribution of Irish agri

cultural produce.
