excuse offers itself for making a close
inspection of Germany from above.
When we get & Heinle on the run and
can follow him home, we sometimes
drive him down near the tree tops, if
the archies are not too busy.
"Once in awhile we take a chance
and strafe the German trenches from
above. I once got down so low after
an attack that I could see the men
very clearly and could get targets to
shoot at. But it is only on rare oc
casions that we ever get close to Ger
many and most of our views are from
high up.
Looks Much Like France.
"It's surprising how much like
France Germany docs look. Your
imagination pictures something differ
ent as soon as you cross the lines.
There are the same rolling plains and
hills and woods and villages.
"Civilian activity, that can be seen
from high altitudes, is less, I think,
than on our side, tho that may be be
cause we fly lower when on the home
side. We can see automobiles and
trains and strings of wagons now and
then on the roads. The German
trenches are more in evidence than
ours and these stretch back for miles
behind the lines. Right up to them
tho, the Germans are cultivating the
soil and their farms are easily spot
ted. The railroads over there look
about the same as those on this side
of the line. In several places the lines
on this side run up to No Man's Land
and then axe smashed up for a way.
but continue on the German side of
the line. It seems wrong that there
shomld be no connection.
No Man's Land Plowed "Up.
"No Man's Land usually looks very
much plowed up. We are glad to see
that, tho probably we are ' the only
ones who are. It gives us a definite
assurance of where home is. Often
you are in doubt and if you happened
to cross the lines where No Man's
Land is not shot to pieces you are not'
sure of your position. Some of the
boys have gone great distances back,
looking for towns or landmarks they
recognized and one chap lost his way
so completely he landed in Switzer
land when his gasoline gave out.
"The villages are fairly well bat-,
tered on both sides, tho unles they'
are in ruins, you can not tell from
above how much damaged they are.
Some are completely obliterated and
are but a mass of stone and plowed
ground. The larger cities are easily
seen and large factories can be easily
spotted,
Earth Isn't Soft.
"Germany looks rather peaceful
from above and there seems to be lit
tle disturbing them back a ways from
the line. That is where an airman's
point of view is defective. A German
and his fields look as soft as ours.
Probably they are, which is not very
soft. Any field covered with grass al
ways looks soft and you think it would
make a fine landing place. When you
get down lower and are forced to land
on any old field that happens to be
under you, sometimes when you're en
panne, you learn differently. Trees
you didn't see stick in the covered
field to turn you over. Barbed wire
stretches along the country and you
cannot see it, either. With ordinary
breaks of luck you can land safely if
you are on the right side of the line
when your motor cuckoos, but what
is very important is that ordinary
break of luck, as one of the boys put
it. Mother earth isn't half as soft
a' you anticipate when you touch
ner."
"SEND OVER PRETTY GIRLS,"
Y. M. C. A. WORKER CRY
Pittsburgh, Pa.. Aug. IB. Sena over
more American girls. That's the plea
of William H. Johnson, Jr., a T. M. C.
A. worker in France, to the local head
quarters. "It does our young Ameri
can soldiers a world of good to gaze
upon pretty American girls who are
working as canteen workers," Johnson
says in his letter. "'The very fact that
they are pretty means so much to the
men, and then they are much more
than clerks at a county store."

DOUBT GAS STORY
?(aval Experts Do Not Believe Sub
marine "Gassed" Coast Guard.
Washington, Aug. 15. Altho final
reports of the Investigation into the
"gas attack" on Smith's Island,
North Carolina, last Saturday, have
not reached the navy department,
there are strong Intimations that the
"gas" was not from a German subma
rine as first reported. No explanation
of the incident, however, has been of
fered and none probably will be until
complete information is at hand.
It is understood that there is reason
to believe that no submarine was in
the vicinity of the island at the time
six men in the coast guard station and
lighthouse were reported to have been
overcome. The theory that a subma
rine had discharged gas-laden oil on
thnsA watprs never was accented hv
naval experts, and fishermen living inf!
that vicinity have insisted that no
submersible could have 'approached
close enough to the island to discharge
gas that would have remained ef
fective until the oil carrying it had
drifted in with the tide.

Including1 Trimmed and Untrimmed Hats, in all the new straws, nothing
