WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES IN
THE FIELD, June 15—(By Mall.) -
Fighting with machine guns and ever
revolvers, pilots of battle plants art
today malting the clouds as hotly a
contested battle ground as is to be
found on the earth below. Sumraet
skies and fine weather have forced
fighting in the air on a large scale
One British pilot attacked by a Oer
man Nieuport, found his machine gur
jammed. Immediately he put down
bis nose and dived, fixing his gun at
the same time. Relieving the jam. he
climbed back to fight and tore ofl
every round of ammunition he had for
the machine gun. The German, Btlll
apparently unharmed, continued to
fight, so the English boy — less than
21 years of age — drawing his Colt'B
automatic pistol, charged straight at
the German, firing sevtu shots at him
at close range. The German toppled
and fell, his machine breaking In two
in the air.
Here Is the official report of another
air fight which happened the same
day. Names and numbers only are
omitted:
"Captain Blank, with three others
I of the same squadron, dived at a Ger
I man aeroplane, which they riddled
[ with bullets and drove down. Then
.they saw four red Albatross scouts
and Captain Blank engaged one at
close range. Eventually the German
machine got into a favorable position
- and Captain Blank Immediately pul
his machine into a spin. On shaking
off the German he at once regained
height and dived at another Scout
With whom he fought for a consider
able time. He finally outmanoeuvred
his opponent, and the hostile machine
crashed. Shortly he engaged anotbei
machine of the same type, but was
shot through the wrist, and the top ol
his control lever was carried away
Although in great pain and flying at
a disadvantage, he succeeded in land
ing his machine undamaged on out
side of the lines and then fainted.”
While this was happening at one
part of the front, another battle was
taking place at another only a short
distance away. A photographic recon
nalssance, with a small escort, was at
tacked by seven German planes. A
captain drove down one of the hostile
machines out of control and then dived
' at three others, which were following
one of our machines down. He was
unable to catch up in time, however
and our machine was forced to land In
a field, but he eventually succeeded in
engaging one of the German machines
which crashed quite near ours.
Second Lieutenant B. opened fire
at a large white two-seater which went
down and was seen to crash by other
pilots.
Lieutenant C. drove down a black
and white German scout, which was
also seen to crash. A third hostile
machine was destroyed by Lleuten
ant D.
The Germans are painting their ma
chines all colors of the rainbow and
some of the shades not to be found
there. And not satisfied with solid
reds, greens, blues and so forth, vari
ous combinations are seen. There art
yellow topped wings with green under
neath; white wings with violet bodies;
blue and gold wings and red noses;
silver wings and striped bodies; can
ary colored bodies with blue tippet
wings and more curious combination!
still. German pilots, it appears, whet
supplied with machines can then d<
pretty much as they please with them
painting them any desired colors ant
even changing the shape.
On the other hand, the British fly
era are more modest. Their machine
are khaki, white or cream. Day afte

, LEAflN TO PICK
HERRING LIKE
Herring curing in Alaska, while at
present sadly neglected, will with the
proper support of the people become
one of Its leading Industries.
The few herring that have been salt
ed were packed principally according
to the Norwegian method, and then In
many cases In a rather unsatisfactory
way, due chiefly to the scarcity of la
bor and lack of understanding of the
trade requirements. Greater attention
to the cure and a more uniform sys
tem of selecting, salting and packing
would greatly reward the curers.
The limited market for the herring
prepared In this fashion is the middle
west, while the real herring market Is
the east. In New York city upwards
of two hundred thousand barrels of
Scotch herring are imported each
year, besides the regular shipments
from Norway. Iceland. Holland and
Newfoundland. The bulk of the Scotch
herring are consumed by the large
Jewish population. Those people are
exceedingly good Judges of quality
and insist upon a uniform selection
and cure packed in the standard
Scotch barrel containing 250 pounds
of herring, free of salt when thorough
ly cured.
This standard Scotch barrel Is now
being made for the first time by the
Western Cooperage Company of Se
attle at $1.60 each, and will shortly
make Its appearance in Alaska.
The United States bureau of fish
eries will give free Instruction to
those desiring to learn the Scotch
method of curing herring. If inter
ested, communicate with Ernest p.
Walker, Inspector of Alaska service,
Wrangell, Alaska, who will arrange
demonstrations by the bureau's spec
ial assistant, August H. D. Kile, or
other competent curers.
