HE star of Lufbery was rising in French aviation. Already it was beginning to reach the { zenith, which drew to him the | attention of the world. King | George of England decorated the Yank with the English Military Medal and the Aero Club of France voted him its {Grand Gold Medal. Late in June he was further honored by pgomotion to the rank of lieutenant in the French army. His comrades in the escadrille re- joiced in Lufbery's success and strove emulate his triumphs. James Norman Hall of Colfax, Iowa, | a new member of the escadrille, came |into the limelight.

On the afternoon of June 26 Hall was late in getting off the ground and was forced to seek his patrol in the | clouds. His rebuilt engine was weak |in climbing power and it was with| great difficulty that he reached lhl" height of 13,000 feet above the ground. From that altitude he saw a patrol some miles within the German lines. The formation and flying tricks he| saw convinced him that these were his comrades and he flew to join them.

Sent to a prison camp, he determined to escape and to die in the attempt rather than to sub- mit to recapture. Securing possession of a clasp knife, this American cut his way through the wire. Intercepted by an armed sentry with two police dogs, he rushed the man in spite of his shots and killed the enemy with the knife, afterward killing the dogs. A second sentry who came to the rescue of the first was also killed by the determined Ameri- can. A third met the same fate. Elud- | ing a fourth armed German, the Amer- ican hid by day and traveled by night, with only such raw food as he could find in the fields and the water of occasional streams to quench his thirst After a week of suffering the escaping prisoner crawled through the battle lines and rejoined his unit. On August 18, 1918, Harold Willis of the Lafayette Escadrille was shot down behind the German lines and taken prisoner.

SUNDAY LAW BILL URGED AT MEETING Proponents of Measure Hold Lank- ford Plan Is Being Mis- represented. Charging that opponents of the measure are misrepresenting the Lank- ford Sunday closing bill for the District of Columbia, the United Council to Se- cure a Sunday Rest Law for the Na- tion's Capital held a meeting yesterday at the Congress Hall Hotel to further the enactment of the bill into law at an early date. Rev. David G. Wylie of New York, president of the council, insisted that the measure does not unite church and state in the slightest de- gree and that the state will co-operate simply with the church. One will be free to spend the day as he sees fit, Rev. Dr. Wylie said. "He gave 13 rea- sons why the law should be acted, one of which was. “It is for the best| interest of the people of the District of | Columbia.” The Lankford bill will protect the laboring man from working seven days | a week and protect the business man from his competitor who would seek to | make him work seven days a week, Canon Willlam Sheafe Chase, president of the International Reform Federation, asserted, in promising support of his | organization. He charged that commer- clal interests are attempting to break down the proposed Sunday law. Representative Lankford of Georgla, the bill's author, declared that absence of a Sunday closing law here is being | used by opponents of the law in seeking |to repeal the laws in other States.
