(Rrom a Staff Correspondent of the Asso. elated Press.) British Front in France (Via Lon don), May 31. The recent lull in the fighting has had no' effect whatever upon the British aerial offensive, which continues day and night with unrelenting intensity. In the last few days there have been witnessed some of the most desper ate air battles of the entire war. One or two of these have been fought at the unprecedented height of 19,000 feet, or more than three and one-half milea from the earth. Recently there was a duel In which a British pilot having run out of am muntition for his macihne gun got close enough to his antagonist to shoot him down with his revolver. This Incident served to recall the fact that when the war began the only weapons which aerial pilots had were pistols and carbines. First Planes Poor. . Commenting today on the dazzling altitudes at which many combats oc cur nowadaya, a pilot said that when he first went to war in 1914 he flew a machine which took an hour and a quarter to reach 6,000 feet, "That's nothing," said one of his comrades. "The old bus I had in those days couldn't reach- 6,000 feet at all." The airplane which could not nego tiate 10,000 feet well under ten minutes would be scrapped quickly now. A notable feature of the air fighting in the last ten days has been the ten dency of the German machines to break In pieces soon after being shot out of control, , ,4 , ,,. Heavy Toll of Flyers,- J The toll ' of German planes' de stroyed in May will mount far into the hundreds. In last Sunday's fighting alone, thirty were accounted for. Fif teen were seen to crash to the ground, fourteen were driven down completely out of control and one was shot down by artillery. - One of melees On Sunday between six British and eight German ma chines was as thrilling as any aerial battle ever fought. At Close Quarters, It was at close quarters throughout, so close in fact that wings scraped against wings and pilots could look each other squarely in the eyes, No sooner would t British pilot swoop up to the tail of one of the Gerrr.an machines than another Ger man was on his tail. This German in turn would almost immediately have another British pilot pouring bursts of machine gun bul lets at him. At one time seven ma chines were following each other in headlong fashion toward the earth. It was nearly 8 o'clock in the eve ning when the British offensive pa trol sighted the eight Germans, well over their own lines, The enemy ma chines fled, but were eventually over taken and brought to combat.

A tim ber cruiser residing in Seattle haa reported to United States authori ties here that s secret wireless plant Is In operstion on Elk creek, In the Olympic forest reserve, about twenty-four miles from the Pacific ocean. The cruiser reported that ma terials for the wireless plsnt were tsken into the Queets country in ths summer of 1915. Three Ger msns bore the stuff on their backs over trsils thst horses could not have traveled, the cruiser says. About 800 pounds of material were carried In. mation dived at the nearest German, but the latter turned sharply beneath him and escaped the firat burst of fire. The commander then attacked another machine just In front of him, pouring in manv rounds at ranges shortening from fifty to twenty yards. The German went down 4,000 yards in a spin then turned over end con tinued to fall, completely out of con trol. By this time another hostile air craft was on the commsnder's tsil. He tried to shake off the German, but could not do so, and deliberately went down in a spin. When he flat tened out he found sthe German still with him and so he again went down in a apin. The German waa then at tacked by s British pilot who had fol lowed him down and sat on hia tail. flooding his machine with bullets un til he went tumbling to earth, swav ing back and forth like s piece of pa per in a gale. Battle Continues. Spinning and diving, this battle kept no until three Germans had been shot down. The othera having fled, the British patrol reformed with out a single delay. The pilot who brought down a machine with aeven shots from his automatic oistol. al ready had accounted! for two other Germans, making t record of three for the day. , pne of the most remarkable es capes from death which a pilot ever naa. occurred toaay. While over the German lines his machine was hit by a shell which tore a hole through it and exploded on the engine, wrecking it The pilot's leg was fractured in two places, but he brought his machine Sack over the lines to within five feet of the ground, where he lost consciousness and crashed to earth. The machine waa so shot about that the men who extri cated the young flier had to pull him through the hole which the shell had made.
