Yelle Defiance Yelling defiance at the Huns, Di) yw hoy stood up on the railroad track, | exposed to the view of the Ger- ‘mans, and opened fire on them with his rifle, while the bullets rang against the rails beneath his fect. Apparently, however, his fire had no effect on the Hun machine gun crew. “Tl get ‘om, Sergeant.” he yelled to his platoon commander, and, with | his bayonet fixed, paying no more) attention to the bullets flying about | him than as if they were halistones, he rushed down the and charged ahead thru a wheat field toward the gun emplacement. For 75 yards Dilboy dashed ahead unhurt. Then a piece of shrapnel leg just above the knee, nearly severing the leg. At the same time several bul lets lodged in various parts of the | boay. The brave soldier dropped and | stretched out on his stomach, but with undaunted courage,” to use General Pershing’s own words, he kept up a continual stream of bullets into the German position with his rifle. Lying there in the wheat field this seriously wounded hero killed | two of the enemy and drove the rest of the gun crew off. As the Ger | mans fled Dilboy’s companions came to his relief and bore him to a base hospital, where he died of his wounds. Haynes, 26th engineerm Charles F.. Hubbard, 26th engineers; Martin J.

JOHNS, N. F., April 12. —4Unit- od Preas.)—Maj. C. W. F. Morman, the British aviator, who arrived here on board the steamer Sachem from Liv. erpool, was today speeding plans for a flight across the Atlantic in the | Martinsyde plane which he brought over with him. Morgan hopes to make his start before the larger Sop with plane, with which Harry Hawk er plans to Make the flight, can take the alr. Maj. Morgan's theory is that his smaller plane, with its narrow wing spread, will not require the same calm weather conditions necessary for Hawker. Hawker was prepared to make the flight yesterday afternoon, but was prevented by & stiff northwest wind and light snow flurries. Keen interest was manifested to day in the contest as to who is to bel ® | the first to cross the Atlantic in an airplane. Until Morgan's arrival, Hawker and Lieut Commander Grieve had a clear field, and his ap- parent readiness quickened the sport: ing blood of all concerned. Morgan's pilot is F. P, Raynard, a veteran fiyer.
