General Feland reports that five aeroplanes returned today from region described in Legation’s 292, July 21, 3 p.m., reporting [Page 584] that they were again subjected to machine gun and rifle fire, three aeroplanes being hit by rifle fire but not seriously damaged. They returned the fire, but results not yet reported and difficult to ascertain clue to dense forest. This occurred at a lumber camp owned by a German citizen which the outlaws had seized and were occupying.
