YOUTHFUL AVIATOR'S GALLANTRY Propped bombs ori German Convoy and a Few Hours Later on a Squadron of Cavalry German Convoy and a detaehment of, cavalry have suffered consider- able damage at the hands of a 20 - Year -el Belgian, who only six weeks ago volunteered for flying work. The hero of this daring ex- ploit has been pronToted to the rank 05f, lieutenant and will probably be decorated.- Recently, though a stiff -wind was bloWing, he set off in the, direction of Ostend, but subse- quently turned ;south .on catching sight' of a' German column in mg - lion With the rec. lessness of in- . eiperienew and youth, he flew very low Over the enemy's lines, 'So low that it was not.until he dropped his •flrst bomb that' the pernatams grasp- ed the fact that this was not one of their own aeroplanes. Before they could open fire on' the youngster, the mischief, y, -as done, Three mO- tor trueks were destroyed, and the Nvhole transport eolumn, which was hurrying to the front, was thrown into emnfusion. Having made his escape by rising to about five -thou- .sand _feet, the aviator flew, in the drection of Bruges, South of that town, he observed a detachment of cavalry taking eove,r behind a chi's - ter of faele houses. The first bonab he dropped went wide, but the sec - end fell into the midst of the squad- ron. The airman was riot' able to observe accurately the amount of ,damage he , dad, for. the, Germans opened fire. with an anti -aeroplane gun, and. a shot severed,,has con- trol wire. He thought' he ' would just manage to, volplan,e to safety, but he landed in the flooded area area near Rainseapelle, directly in the ,line of fire from borth sides. However he was able ' t,o wade ashore, and get, to, has own lanes. Even the aeroplane was ultimately brought in.

Then at certain times of the day these food projectiles are thrown over the wails into the thas incident relating to the situa- tion in Alsace: "To the north-west Senories, near La Mere Henri, ail the counter-attacks of the Germans were repulsed.

In the early honrs of Monday morn- ing, -when it was considered the effect, of a, bombardment which had considerably shaken up the Ger- mans had given them a particularly sleepless night, the Gurkhas left their trenches with knives and bayonets. They crept over the in- tervening ground like panthers stalking their prey, then stiddenly they opened an awful hullabaloo and fell on the Germans in their own trenches. "It v -as a hand-to-hand fight. and no troops in the world could beat the Gurkhas at that kind of war- fare. The kukri did much swift 110,,VOC, but some of the wounded bronght back to the British lines re. ported that the butt ends of rifles were also used. "While the first line of trenches were being stormed with grim suc- cess other comPanies of Indians charged forward, yelling and shout- ing, and the Germans took to their heels. They didn't stop until they eartie under the effective support of their own artillery. "As a result of their sortie the Indians gained some valuable Posi- tions in the direction of Lille. The Indian casualties were heavy, but the results achieved were of tre- mendons importance.''
