MAKES DIVE OF 10,000 FEET Aviator Reaches Ground Safely Al- though All the Wires on His Ma- chine Are Loosened — Spend Holiday in Air. Washington.—Word pictures of the work of the members of the Lafayette Squadron and other American aviators in France are given in letters which Dr. Charles D. Walcott, secretary of the Smithsonian institution, has re- ceived from his son, EH. S. Walcott, whose airplane fell “somewhere be- hind the German lines” along the west- ern front. The allusions to the work of the American aviators contained in these letters are all the more interest- ing at this time in view of the fact that the men about whom Walcott wrote have just been commissioned in the American air service on the rec- ommendation of General Pershing. Doctor Waleott has received a dis- patch from Paris informing him that his son fell within the enemy lines December 12 while fighting three sin- gle-seaters, after having demolished an enemy two-seater, and that his fate is uncertain. Inquiries are being made to ascertain, if possiblé, from Germany whether young Walcott was seriously tojured or not. In a letter dated November 13, In re- sponse to an inquiry about Campbell, an aviator from Chicago, who was re- ported lost, young Walcott wrote as folfows: “Campbell was in the Lafayette Es- cadrille, and they are a member of the same group as Squadron 84, so I have asked them about him, He was on a patrol with another chap; they attack- ed some Boches, and when it was over the other chap was alone. was brought down in German territory and so reported missing. I believe the chap he was with has seen and talked to Campbell's father or some close rel- ative since, “Another chap named Bulkely was brought down in similar circumstances about the Ist of September. Ten days ago word was received from the Amer- ican embassy that he bad communi- cated with them, a prisoner in Ge many, a “There are many similar cases where men brought down with crippled machines, or wounded, escaped de- struction by a miracle. The only sure thing is when a machine goes down in flames or is seen to lose a wing or two. “For instance, there are two officers scribed, before H. W. Garets, U, S. Commission- er, at his office in Grangeville, Idaho, on the 15th day of August, 1918. Claimant names as wit- nesses: Ben F Church, Clarence Watson, Arthur in the group who are in the best of health and daily working. Several months ago they were on patrol to- gether and collided in the air. One machine cut the tail rigging complete- ly off the other plane, and then they separated, one plane without a tail and the other machine with various parts of a tail mixed among the cables and struts of one side of his machine. They both landed in France, one on his wheels, followed by a capotage, or sSomersault turnover, the other quite completely upside down. Then a term in the hospital, and back they are again. “Kenneth Marr, an American and a friend of Pete’s, had the commands of both his controls cut in a combat, .the rudder and elevator, leaving him noth- ing but the aileron, the lateral balance control, and the motor, He landed with only a skinned nose for casualties, and got a decoration for it. Dives Vertically 10,060 Feet. “Another chap, in an attack on cap- tive balloons, dived for something like 10,000 feet vertically and with full mo- tor on, thereby gaining considerable speed, as you can imagine. He came right on top of the balloon, shot and, to keep from hitting it, yanked as roughly as he could, flattening out his diye in the merest fraction of .a sec- ond. Imagine the strain on the ma- chine! When he got home all the wires had several inches sag in them; the metal connections of the cables in- to the struts and wood of the wings had bit into the wood enotigh to give the sag. “Machines are built to stand im- mense pressure on the under side of their wings. In some acrobatic man- euvers I was trying the other day I made mistakes and caused the machine to stall and then fall in such a way that the full weight was supported by the upper surface—by the wires which in most machines are supposed merely to support the weight of the wings when the machine is on the ground. “¥es, the Spad is a well-built ma- chine, the nearest thing to perfection in point of strength, speed, and climb- ing power I've seen yet. Of course, it’s heavy, and ‘that’s why they put 150-230 horse power in them. The, other school, that of a light machine with a light motor, depending for its success on lack of weight rather than excess of power, may supplant the heavier ma- chine in time; I can’t tell. “Yesterday there was a review here in honor of Guynemer, and decorations for the pilots of the group who had won them. Three Americans received the Croix de Guerre—members of the Lafayette Eseadrille. Lafbery, the American ace, carried the American flag presented to the escadrille by Mrs. icCracken, all of Spring Camp, | MeAdoo and the employees of the ee aviation ¢mblems of France: He was called ta receive his decoration for having in the course of one day held seven combats, descended (six) one German plane in flames, and forced five ethers to land behind their lines, (which means that he is officially cred- ited with one—his thirteenth—and that the other five, though probably brought down, do not count for him because there were not the necessary witnesses required by the French regulation.) “Aviators are not very military. The chief of one of the escadrilles was com- missioned to command the mechanics, who are plain soldiers with rifles and steel helmets, for the occasion. He is a bit of a clown and amused the entire gathering, kidding with the officers. The pilots of each of the five esca- drilles were In more or less formation, most of them with hands in their pock- ets, for it was chilly, and presenting a mixture of uniforms unparalleled in its heterogeneity. Every branch of the service represented endless personal ideas in dress. ‘ Spent Their Holiday in the Alr. Campbell - “Because of the occasion, repose had been granted to the entire group for the afternoon, another group taking over our patrols, So that after the review every one had the afternoon to waste—a sunny day, whieh is quite unusual this month, Within a half hour every machine that was in work- Ing order was in the air, forming into groups and then off for the lines, just looking for trouble—voluntary patrol, they call it. Which opened my eyes a hit as to the spirit in the French avia- tion service after three years of war.” In another letter, written December 1, young Walcott says: “TI tried to give you some idea of the strength of a Spad in a letter a while ngo. At home people speak of a factor of safety, meaning the number of times stronger the machine is than is neces- sary for plain flying. The Spad is made so that a man can’t ‘bust’ it, no matter what he does in the air—dive as far and as fast as he can and stop as bru- tally as he can, it stands the racket. Of course, motors do stop, and if it happens over a mountain range—well, that’s just hard lyck. : “Have had a few patrols since last I wrote. One at a big height—4,000 to 4,500 meters, considerably above the clouds, which almost shut out the ground below; a wonderfully beautiful sight, but beastly cold—and a couple when the clouds were low and solid. The patrol stays at just the height of the clouds, hiding in them, slipping out again to look around, If it stays be- low the enemy ‘antiaircraft guns pep- per it whenever near the lines, and at a low altitude that is rather awkward, so the patrol shows itself as little as possible, “It’s lots of sport to try to keep with the patrol; be behind the chief of pa- trol, see him disappear, and then bump into a fog bank, a low-hanging cloud, and not see a darn thing. Then dive down out of the cloud, wondering whether the other guy is right under- neath or not; dart out of the cloud and see him, maybe 500 yards away, going at right angles. Then back up and turn around fast and give her the gear —full speed to catch up—and so on. See a Boche regulating artillery fire, start to maneuver into range, and, zip; he’s out of sight in the clouds, and the next you see he is beating it far back of his lines. Not very dan- gerous this weather, but lots of fun.” In a letter from the front, dated November 380, the following passages occur: Yesterday was Thanksgiving day, and, praises be! the Lafayette bunch invited me and my partner to dinner, or rather to the feast. They have the most remarkable chef. Soup and fish prepared the way for a most remark- ably big bird called the turkey, barri- caded by chestnuts. And then a plum pudding—a regular American one—and as good as I ever tasted. I sat at the table with Captain Thenault, Lieuten- ants Thaw and Lufbery, and some Frenchmen, “An early patrol this morning, de- spite low clouds. Lots of fun it was, ducking in and out of the clouds, keep- ing from hiiting other machines in the clouds and from losing the patrol. Saw a few Boches, but all they had to do was to slip up out of sight when the patrol approached. Every now and then their antiaircraft guns would | blaze away a bit, but there was lots of room for them to miss and for us to leave the place they were shooting at.” USES OVERCOAT AS BANK Negro Proves Ownership to Garment by Disclosing Location of Savings. New York.—Monroe Smith, a negro, insisted in the court of special ses- sions that he had not stolen the over- coat of Leslie Davis while he enter tained Davis in his home. Smith said the coat was his own property and he had a right to pawn it. “I can prove I own the coat,” sald Davis. “There is nine dollars sewed in the lining.” Promptly the justice ordered the lining ripped open and the money was found.

Chippewa Falls, Wis—An increase in the herd of deer at the public park in this city and an increase in the cost | of food for the animals, has caused | the park board to have five of the deer slain, and the venison placed on sale in one of the markets.
