T_he death-challenging biplane of the French war heroes was long over- due as land, sea ‘and air forces of ‘the American government were or- ganized for a hunt through the area extending from New Foundland to New York, ‘Apprehension increased hourly as Vague reports from ships and shore Points proved unfounded.
