...Toul, in Nancy and around Pont ä-Mouson, we were bombed on every clear night and shelled occasionally to vary the monotony. Later, in the Meuse Argonne offensive, bombs were our nightly bedtime story rain or shine.

C. near Toul, France in 1918, I saw a lone enemy plane attack and destroy a captive balloon, miss a second, destroy a third, return and destroy the second, then fly home. The whole operation required but minutes, was done at a very low altitude (following a power dive) in broad day light, and in spite of the activities of anti-aircraft gunners stationed at balloon positions. I feel the same thing could be done today (TIME, June 23). I remember H. C. Barnes (then Major), onetime commander of our Battery...
