ISKItl.lN, January 20.? A German
.journalist, serving In the Kaiser's

spirited battle in tlte air in which lie
participated. lie was decorated with
the Iron Cross for the lira very lie dis
; played in this' spectacular conflict.
"The weather was miserable during

"However, we kept ui> our practice,
and tried to do as much damage as
i possible to Ihe enemy. iMir opponents
were very daring, ami I must give
them credit for the bravery shown in
their flights above our ranks. They
were not afraid of our batteries, and
, managed to escape the hail of shots
directed at them.
"So we decided we would have to
fight them In the air. We organized
a system of espionage, and one day
we received word that five machines
of the enemy had arisen in the neigh
borhood of A and were coming our
way. At a moment's notice we got our
machines in position, the motors were
whirring and In Intervals of one-half
| minute each we rose in the air.

"Immediately we took our course In
iln- direction of A., and tried to reach
a greater height than the French, de
termined to send them to the ground.
We w??re armed to the te<>th. so to say.
We not only carried bombs, but also
machine guns.
"In the neighborhood of A we saw
the French machines cruising. Ma
chines of the single and double-decker
type were flying around in open forma -
' lion, tailing observations of our post -
I lions. As we were llyliiK In close forni
i ation, it seems they did not recognize
how many we were. So they went for
our first ?Tauhe' in a body.
"lhit this little 'dovey* ducked, and.
I rising again, sent a shot at one of
; the French double-deckers. which
1 seemed to put its propeller out of
commission. At least, we saw the ship

for business, and now began .*> fight of

frustrated their game by following

"I saw my colleague, l.leutenant M.,
about lion yards to my left, finish his
' adversary, lie must have received scri

' out of business very soon.
"Then came my own and my eom- ;

"Evidently the licrinnn.i intend to |

this purpose they need reinforcements,

; railway system to throw over troops
I from Kovno toward Horjimow.
"In order that we shall not be able <

j troops southward to the Hzura and
( Rawka Rivers, the nermann are mak

ami then with infantry, to cut the rail- |
road from Warsaw north to Yilna. |
Thanks to the watchfulness of our
commanders and to the Indomitable 1
energy of our troops, the efforts of the i
enemy have been futile."
