ORDERS OBSEBTO ESCAPE
Pilot Deliberately Blows Himself and
His Craft to Pieces With Bomb
to Evade Capture
by Huns.
LoDdon. British aviators and me
chanics sometimes are compelled to
destroy their own machines to prevent
the Germans, from obtaining a jeal
ously guarded secret about the new
type of airplane. Occasionally it is
necessary for the aviator to sacrifice
his own life together with his air
plane. Such an Instance is described
in an official report of a brave avia
tor, who deliberately blew himself and
the airplane to pieces with a bomb
to evade capture by a German flotilla
of destroyers.
There were two men, the pilot and
his observer, In one of the latest fly
ing boats the British makers have
turned out.
They had got well out to sea
when a fog suddenly cut them off from
the rest of their companions. The
pilot headed for home, but a few sec
onds later the engine "died" and the
pilot brought the boat to rest on the
water. He climbed up to the engine
to see if he could make good the de
feet. A glance showed him that only
a repair shop and a squad of expert
mechanics could hope to make the en
gine run. His face was slightly more
grave when he climbed down to the
hull.
"Are you going to make the works
go around again, daddy?" asked the
observer.
Machine Can't Be Fixed.
"Can't be done, my son," said the
pilot. "We shall have to wait on some
one coming to pick us up."
"I suppose the fog will lift soon
and give our chaps a sight of us.
Wake me up before they come," and
snuggling still further down into his
seat, the observer went to sleep.
The night drew on. The pilot sat
up on the deck combing, and listened
intently for the slightest sign of ap
proaching rescuers, while behind him
down in the cockpit ' slept the boy,
dreaming of home.
With the coming of the morning the
fog lifted and the observer glanced
eagerly over the shadowy waters. Far
on the horizon was a little black
smudge growing steadily In size, and
behind it another smudge, and anoth
er. It was a patrol flotilla fast ap
proaching them.
"It is German, my son," said the pi
lot. "Is your life belt on securely?"
"Yes."
"Well, get over the side and swim
as hard as you can."
"But don't you want me to help "
His Privilege to Die.
"Get over the side," said the pilot
curtly, and there was that ltf his voice
which made the junior man instantly
obey. "Good-by, sonny," he added, as
the observer slipped Into the water.
"It is my privilege, you know."
About 200 yards away the observer
paused and looked back at the disa
bled plane. The pilot was crouching
on the top of the wing underplane,
just above the bomb rack, with a
heavy spanner in his upraised hand
heady to strike a blow. A mile away
the first German destroyer was tear
ing the sea In twain in nervous haste
to save the coveted trophy and get
away before the appearance of the
dreaded British patrol. The observer
turned and swam away from the tra
gedy which he knew was about to hap
pen. There came the roar of a mighty ex
plosion. He heard the swish of the
air blast along the surface waters and
the rush of the approaching wave from
the sea disturbance. ' The wave en
gulfed him just as he began to hear
the splash and patter of the falling
debris, and in the blackness of its
heart his senses swam Into uncon
sciousness. He was still sobbing de
lirious when the British patrol boat
picked him up an hour later.

Faris. At last a French correspond
ent has found a weak spot in the
American expeditionary force. The
man who has ventured to strike this
first discordant note is the special rep
resentative of Le Temps at the French
front, who happened to be near the
American section, which had the first
real fight with the enemy and so paid
them a visit. He writes :
"There are certain practical points
In which our allies are not yet past
masters, notably cooking. At first
scorning their own stews, they pre
ferred to stick to canned meat entirely.
"Our cooks showed them how to
make soup, and they soon acquired a
taste for it. It won't be long before
they will be making some good stuff
themselves, better any way than the
extraordinary mixtures I saw them
eating this evening, like canned sal
mon with mashed potatoes and pickled
cucumbers I"
