-1 London, ' Aug. 10. Following of-
ficial war office bulletin giving details
of British planes on August 8 in which
65 German aircrafts were accounted
i j-for, says:
- , "On August 8 our airplane squad
irons co-operated with other arms on
. '.the battle front throughout the day.
i "The line reached by our attacking
- infantry was reported by our contact
- iairplanes. The positions of the hos-
-tile artillery in action and columns of
'German infantry and transport on the
4march were signaled to our guns by
our air machines. Other machines
fsupplied our advance troops with am-
' munition from the air.
"Co-operation with the tanks was
.carried out systematically. Our ma
chines assisted the tank crews with in-
formation, attacked strong points and
'other opposition with bombs and ma-
4 chine gun fire, and by dropping smoke
.: bombs along the line of their ad
vance assisted to conceal the approach
of the tanks from the enemy.
"Our contact machines working
with ' the cavalry rendered valuable
t "services. Flying low in front of our.
V dvancing line, our fighting squad-
. Tons shot at and bombed the enemy
in his retreat, causing havoc among
' Ihe masses of hostile troops and
transport on roads congested with
traffic.
"Our bombing squadrons, flying a
few hundred feet from the ground, at
tacked trains, railway junctions and
bridges.
"Forty-eight hostile machines are
reoorted as destroyed Dy our air
planes and-17 others were driven
I Anvin nnt nf control. Fivr hostile bal-
loons were shot down in flames. Fifty
of our own machines are missing,
most of these casualties being due to
fire from the ground. One of our
night flying machines also failed to
return.
"On August 9 our airmen continued
the work of cd-operating with the
British infantry, artillery, cavalry and
tanks on the battle front German
troops and transports were again at
tacked with bombs and machine gun
fire from a low height whenever a
suitable target offered. .The Somme
bridges were heavily bombed by day
and night."

Every added degree of temperature
these summer days means more mis

where the familv income does not
permit the purchase of adequate food
for the babies nor ice to preserve such
food as is available. Into many homes
of this sort in Omaha The Bee's
Free Milk and Ice Fund has been
carrying cheer and good health for
the little ones all summer.
There is no more beautiful use to
make of money than to use it in the
creation of ruddy cheeks and smiling

this fund is used for this purpose.
Today the fund passes the J800

father emigrated from France to Ger
many and entered the service of Wil
liam I, serving in the war against
France in 1870.
