FLYING WITH SHAFFER"OVER THE LINES"

LETTERS FROM A DAUPHIN' BOY TO HIS MOTHER

Somewhere in France.Dear Mother:

Two t>L' your letters received to-lay.

Army life has not affected me oneway or the other, and I imagineI still weigh the same. My picturesseem to have given you the im-pression that war bread agreed withme. You were away off in pickingIhe cause. Flying agrees with meand not the bread, for I don't eatmuch of it You know, I am realiz-ing a lifelong ambition now, so whyshould it not agree with me? Out-side of freezing my nose yesterday

while flying over the lines at 5,000meters. I am a pretty healthy speci-men. 1 will write you about thatlittle trip later, just now I want:o answer your letters.

From the tone of the firs*, letter,I must have been at Avord train-ng on Nleuport and I sure did havei lot of hard luck there, some oft my fault and some the machine's,or they were a punk assortment toJC sure. Good enough for training,jf course, but nothing to -compareto the little silver baby I fly now,nil spic and span with her newinstruments and shining brightlyifter her wash down, for she getsnore baths than I do, and hot ones.00.

"1 suffered for years with chronicleadachcs," says George Stewart, alorter at Kresge's, who lives at 1124lerr street, Harrisburg, Pa.

"I suffered a lot from indigestion,00.

big, but when one considers that20 of that "goes In the pot," as theysay when the escadrllle buys extrafood besides army rations, and say10 mote to buy flowers for dead pi-lots, it don't loom up so big. Sure,it's Just my luck to land in time tohelp decorate somebody. The mor-tality rate seems to be low in thissection, only three men being killedlast year, and two were accidents,and 32 Boche were brought down.Pretty good record, eh? Of course,my escadrille has only been in exist-ence for several weeks, so we don'tcome in on any glory.

DangiTs of landingYou don't >have to tell me it's the

little things that count, because Iknow it from experience. Luckily,the experience has very seldom beenbitter. And I don't forget to fastenmy safety belt any more, althoughone is in very little danger of fall-ing out while flying. It's surprising

I how many stunts one can do with| out the belt aiding one in stayingwith his bird. It's in landing wherethe danger is. for if one is notstrapped in and upsets he is in abad way. However, I have a verygood belt now, adjusted just to suitme, and the two belts which passover the shoulders and the other twowhich go around my waist most cer-tainly make me a part of the "zang"(airplane). The beauty of all thesesafety belts are that they can be re-leased instantly by pressing a but-

l ton?just like pressing the niggerI baby and hear him say "Mamma,"| for the button is right over one'sdinner basket.

Prayer Helps HimI Considering how great is your be-

\ lief in prayer, I am surprised my

I description of the happenings at Pau, caused you any uneasiness for me.

! Anj'way, here I am still kicking,thanks to my own hustling around,and maybe your prayers. Whetherit was more of the latter than the

1 former I don't know, but the com-| bination seems to have workedpretty well to date, so I'll keephustling and you keep praying andwe'll see how quick we can end this

; war. The way I talk you might; think I was the whole army,wouldn't you? Was wondering

i whether those cards I sent from Pau; would get there. The sad part ofit was, they did not do the scenery

; justice. One had to fly over the| country to really see its beauty. Onecould sec sfttnuch in so short a time

; that way.That's rather amusing* about

measles and mumps breaking out in| camps?the soldiers must be rather! young.' Gee Whiz! the way you write, II am still a little boy, hoping I maygrow t obe a good and noble map.Do you realize that I am due to haveanother birthday soon and I'll be?-say, how old will I be anyhow? It'sbeen so long I've forgotten the date.

I will do my best to please youthough, but just now I am so busytrying to ( learn the rules of this fly-in? game without the aid of theFrench language that I have no timefor anything else. There are anenormous number of little things toremember while flying in formation,and owing to my ignorance, I brokeanother one, yesterday. Naturally-got in Dutch again, since the Cap-

was leading the party?there were eight of us.

Sky Climbing(All new pilots at Hie front).

Everything went along lovely, and Isluyod In my allotted position quiteeasily while we climbed to 6,000meters and then 1 began to getmighty chilly. First ono finger gotstiff, and then another, and prettysoon I only had throe or four use-ful ones left. But orders were tofollow and I kept right on follow-ing, despite the fact that my face,and nose particularly, wore begin-ning to feel rather numb. Thisdidn't worry me any, since 1 thoughtIt was merely getting that healthyglow I recommended for the girls'sallow complexion. I had never beenup this high before, and It neveroccurred to me it might effect mybreathing until I began gulping forair periodically, about once everytwo minutes. And then I looked atmy altimeter and saw It was be-ginning its second round of the dial,since It only registered up to 5,000and I was past that and still goingup. We were over the German linesthen and still headed for Berlin,when I noticed the man I was fol-lowing suddenly turn and apparent-ly start for camp. That didn't sujtme a little bit, as the newness of be-ing so high and looking down on thepock-marked ground of "No Man'sLand" was wearing off and I was en-joying it. furthermore, I was cur-ious to see a German plane andsince there were four Nieuports fly-ins above me, I climbed up andfollowed them. I don't know whatthe big idea was, but they kept zigzagging up and down and across,and every which way for all theworld as if they were being shot atwith shrapnel.

Ix>st In the CloudsNaturally I followed suit, although

I could see nothing to dodge as Isaw no shrapnel breaking anywhere,although several times I did feelmyself bounced up as if by a sud-den explosion beneath me ?and thenmy engine began missing somethingfierce, and T feared it would stop."Well," thinks I, "I'm pretty high,and I might make camp, at leastI won't fall in the trenches." So Iturned right about and with themotor giving about half her power,started down in the general direc-tion of Rheims, for I was not quitesure where I was, and I knew if Ifound Rheims I could find camp. Isoon found that city, got my direc-tions from land marks below andheaded home. All this had takenbut a few moments, and no soonerhad I noticed a plane high over thecity being shrapneled to a far-u-well.Apparently, he was headed my way,so not knowing whether he wasfriend or foe it occurred to me itwouldn't be a bad idea to get mygun ready. This was quickly done,by shoving a safety lever which con-nected the gun with the motor, thistiming the shots so the propellerwould not be hit. And now that Iwas ready. I wondered whether thedoggone thing would actually shoot.Nothing like trying it so pointing inthe general direction of Germany, Ipulled the trigger. She worked allright, and then I looked aroundagain for the suspicious plane, butit had disappeared apparently, somy motor picking up again, I de-cided to learn somewhat of the topo-graphy of the country, and most ofall was I curious to see actuallywhere the lines were. They weredrawn on my map. but I'll be dog-goned if I could find them. All thistime I had been coming down, sinceone can't see anything from 5,000meters, and was getting a line on anumber of towns, picking out rail-roads and big roads, and followingthem up until they came to wherethe "lines" should be. but still Icould find no well-defined "lines."By the time I had reached 2,000meters I was right over where the"lines" should be and then I nearly

had heartfailure, for the engine be-gan missing again and from the wayit sounded was going to dlo any.minute. Thoro are nine cylinders onmy engine, but the way it soundedthen, only one was running, so onceagain I headed for camp with theengine coughing and spitting all theway, and me expecting any minuteto havo to pick out a nice soft forestto land on.

Being all alone this way and withno engine to speak of, I knew Iwould be easy prey for any Qermanwho happened to see me, so 1 kepta sharp lookiut, as I had been doingall the time, and Ilnally reachedcamp all right, only to lind 1 hadbusted another rule on the calendar,for the Captain was sure on his ear,and wanted to know from one of myAmerican comrades whether 1 hadbeen drinking the night before, andwas I all there in the head, for hesure thought I was lost. Not methough, I had a compass, map andthe sun. And I'll say I had quitean interesting hour and a half allby my lonesome. . The thing thatmade the Captain so sore was thefact that I had left the patrol with-out giving any signal of distress, andthen to crown it all had stood right

j on my nose in my anxiety to reachthe earth. The first was correct,owing to ignorance on my part,since I did not know what the signalof distress was, but the latter I wasnot guilty of, and it turned out laterit was another plane. The latter wascaused by the Captain's anger, be-cause he had called me down oncebefore for peaking too steeply. Thismorning I made it a rule to have allthe rules translated for me, althoughI could read some of them myself.And this afternoon a number oftypewritten papers in English weregiven lis, which sure helped a lotsince it told me a lot of things Inever knew before. Indeed, it's nowonder time flies so swiftly since Iam always guessing as to what I amsupposed to do. Now that the pap-

j ers have been given me, I know,and can devote more time to learn-ing the French language.

Walter.Somewhere in France,

i Dear Mother: It sure is cold here,there being six inches of snow onthe ground. Also, since it's so coldon the ground, you can imagine howcold it is at three or four milesabove it. I say you can imagine it,but I know, for that's the height Ihave been flying the last three times

I over the lines. The first time, I. froze my nose and now there is alittle black spot on each side of mynose where the goggles rested. If

| you didn't know I was an aviator,I you would think I was a schooli teacher and had left my iron-bowed

I spectacles on my nose too long. TheI second time I froze two fingers ab-solutely numb, and my, oh my! how[they did hurt when I had descendedjto 3,000 meters. Strange to say, at

I that height my hands and nose al-| ways warm up. I don't know why,I but they always do. You remember

: I told you about that trip with the| Captain and my motor went bad and|he thought me lost. The way hoi raved around one would think 1 was

; real valuable. The next day he led| us over the lines again, and in orderi to.keep an eye on me placed me on

jhis right. However. I stuck by himthis time despite a frozen finger and

jtrouble in regulating my motor, forat high altitudes I always do havetrouble with the motor regulation.The air gets thinner as one goes up,you know, and this has a decidedeffect on the power of the motor,since so much air is required to mixwith the gasoline to give the requir-ed power. Naturally, one must soregulate his motor as he climbshigher so as to get the necessaryamount of aid. This I find veryhard to do, but hope to get the hangof it soon.

A Tough LandingTo come back to the Captain, I

was right by him all the time, andwhen he peaked for the ground Iwas still near him, for all the worldlike a baby hanging onto its moth-er's apron. No, I did not break anyrules that trip, but I did break the"Becky" and hent an axle, for Imade the most awful landing I evermade in my life, leveling out tenfeet above the ground and landingso hard I knocked both wheelsknock-kneed. The funny part of itwas, the landing was made right infront of the captain, who had land-ed before me. I don't know whetherhe saw the joke or not. At least, Idid not get the calling down I ex-pected. You see coming down fromhigh altitudes, the distance to theground is very deceiving and to ac-custom the eyes to the change onemust make a circle of the field at alow altitude. I had done this, andas I circled around and saw the Cap-tain sitting below waiting for a me-chanic to start his' stalled motor,thinks I "I'll land right beside him,and show him how to make a goodlanding?without stalling the motor.And so I did, for I Handed beside himall right, but oh, what a landing!That's where the joke came in, forI was so busy watching whether theCaptain was noticing the beautifullanding I was going to make, thatthe first thing I knew I lost all myspeed and sunk like a stone. Here-after, I'll watch the ground and notthe Captain, and probably "Becky"won't suffer so much then. How-ever, the Captain had troubles ofhis own, which probably explainswhy I wasn't told about it. since hehad two fingers frozen also, and hadto depart as soon as he arrived, fora distant hospital, where one of ourmen was wounded. The other pilotsand the head mechanic sure did kidme about that breakage, saying thatif I drank "pinard" such thingswould never happen, for the factthat we don't drink "pinard" suredoes surprise these Frenchmen?theother American does not use iteither?. However, I came rightback by reminding one of the pilotsthat he had taken a whole wing offwhile making a landing. It was thetruth too and he is the heaviestdrinker in the crowd. That come-back sort of stopped the kiddingthat "beaucoap" pinard would help.My habits sure arouse a lot of cur-iosity-on the part of some of mycountrymen. One fellow, afterstudying me for a week or so, andnoticing that I neither drank norsmoked and did not know how toplay poker, was certainly astonish-ed. And wanted to know whetherI enjoyed life. My prompt "Yes, In-deed" surprised hlrn as much as myhabits, for it was utterly beyond himto understand how it was possible toenjoy one's self without painting thetown red. Of course, I did not sug-gest the fact that enjoying life hisway, cost a lot of money, for he, be-ing rich, would not have under- ?'stood.

Out on PatrolHad to stop to go on patrol work, j

Am glad to say our escadrille Isfinally in existence, with its ownCaptain, office and work, and thisafternoon the whole escadrille wasworking. My nanrje was at the topof the list, which means 1 would goout on the first "mission" that re-quired protection. Unfortunately, Itwp.B cloudy all morning, which madetaking photographs impossible, so Idod not get a chance to help pro-tect one of these machines. But theafternoon was clear?and cold, asusual ?so we were sent out In groupsof threes to patrol the lines andclmse any Boche away which inter-

fered with the work of observationplanes, which direct artillery lire.We only liew at 2,000 meters, so Idid not mind the cold, but Golly!how they did bombard us withshrapnel. It's the lirst time theyhave ever came real close to me,

I have been shot at before.Tire first one I saw In the mirror asit broke some 20 meters behind mewith a loud bang and a puff of blacksmoke. Right away I began doingthe ocean roll up and down and'cross-ways with black puffs appear-ing now on my right and now on my ileft. As far as I could see about allthe damage they did was to pol-lute the atmosphere with a few more jclouds. However, none broke overme, else I may have changed mymind about their harmlessness. Onetime though, that old boy belowwas getting my range pretty close,as half a dozen black puffs appearedunder me, and two seconds laterhalf a dozen more bursted along sideof me with a loud boom. It wasthen I began changing my directionfind altitude and to lose my con-tempt for the man behind the gun.All he could do was guess at myheight, but I always got the lastguess; and as soon as he got therange I changed my altitude, . andthen he would have to begin guess-ing all over again. We patrolled upand down the lines for an hour anda half, being shot at four differenttimes as we passed over certain hotsectors. It's quite a sight to see anairplane being bombarded withshrapnel, and to see it fly in, out andaround, the innumerable black andwhite puffs. Reminds me of someone throwing eggs up against abarn, the way those black puffssplash around the sky. The otherAmerican in the escadrille was upto-day and saw them pumping leadat us and according to his accountthey certainly were burning up alot of powder. It is while on theseairplane are called that one getsairplane are colled that one getsbombarded, and I was remarkingto-day that I had never seen shrap-nel break real close to me.

Gets Taste of ShrapnelHowever, I got a taste of it this

afternoon so it won't be anythingnew when I do go on a "mission."These photo-taking planes go awaybehind the lines to take their pic-tures and naturally get bombardedto a far-u-well, not to mention beingchased by Boches sometimes. Havenot been lucky enough to go on onfeof these protecting trips yet, butnow that our escadrille is organizedI hope to soon have a chance.

One of our men was killed theother day while on one of these"missions" being shot in the back bya Boche. Badly wounded as he washe came down in a "vrille" from4,000 meters and made a good land-ing. For this coot-headed work hewas awarded the "military cross andCroix de Guerre," but unfortunatelyhe had lost so much blood that hedied in the hospital soon after.Which accident makes my grudgeagainst the German much move per-sonal than heretofore, since he wasthe liveliest fellow in the escadrille,and incidentally was the man thatled me through my first shrapnelfire. I called it an accident becauseso it seenird to me since the fel-lows with him said the Boche wasfully 1,000 meters behind him. Eith-er that Boche was some shot or hisluck was with him. The escadrillebought him a crown of flowers, thefive francs of which I do not be-grudge. The saddest part of thedeath, I think, was the fact thatseven letters arrived for him the dayhe died.

And now the last candle has goneout, so I'll have to stop, as one can'tvery well write by the aid of anopen fire place.

Received a package from theMisses Kelker yesterday, which cer-tainly was a surprise as well asappreciated, especially the "Wash-ington coffee." None of your pack-ages have showed up yet.

Walter.Somewhere in France,

Jan. 10, 1918.Dear Mother: I flew an hour

yesterday, but it was very bad wea-ther at that, the clouds being veryheavy and low. First we have alittle snow and then a little rain,which makes hunting wood rathersloppy work. Since all five pairs ofshoes are wet I went hunting itj mywooden shoes, which was more diffi-cult than successful, as I found itnearly as hard as skieing, for therewere no hobnails in the soles to giveme a grip as with the army shoes.They kept my feet dry though, andwe sure have some fire now!

A new pilot joined the escadrilleyesterday and it was most amusingto watch him shiver with cold as'he ate in our fireless dining room.I say amusing, because wc have Igrown used to it, which goes to show jone can get used to anything if hehas to.

You should have seen said pilot Iout hunting wood to-day. He was Ia most ardent hunter indeed andwas not shivering as much during Isupper as of yore. However, after jthe meal I found him in our room Jwith his feet resting in the ashes of !a dying fire, in a vain attempt towarm them ?the feet, not the fire, i

A Queer BirdThe saying that aviators are queer

birds is certainly proved by one ofcur members, who is learning to tootthe flute in his spare time, of coursewe have other music also, but thatoccurs regularly twice a day and Ihave grown used to it. but 1 willsuffer from the flute. Fortunately,the cold freezes up his footer whenhe has no fire, and since his bed fel-low refuses to furnish any morewood, we haven't heard from hintfor sometime. Indeed the man him-self presents an interesting study tome, for I never have seen a moretimid man and my wonder grows asto how and why he ever enteredaviation. Just an instance: Welive some two miles from camp, andone day, he, another man and I werestarting for camp, when a truckcame along, stopping nearby to un-load something. Naturally, wo askedfor a lift and got in. We hadclimbed aboard and the truck wasgetting under way when the timidgentleman caught up with us, sincehe had gotten some distance behindas he picked his way over the slip-pery rood, instead of jumping on the

wouid-bo nurse had been practicingon him. He had been up at 5000meters for an hour with only onepair of gloves on, so I don't wonderho nearly froze. The wonder isthere were not more frozen. Fortu-nately I was flying at 2000 that day,and one feels nice and comfy at thatheight, although not safe, for theway they chuck shrapnel at one Is acaution, not to mention the dangerof a Boche come pouncing down

from 5000 meters, shooting as hocomes. Have not seen a Boche ujJ

yet, at least not close enough to rec-ognize him, although I have flownsomo 14 hours over the lines. How-ever, I have hopes, for peace looksabout as far off as my packages.They have been on the road so lonthat my mouth has stopped water-ing. and 1 am getting so used to thecold that I won't need the clothins.either. WATjTER.
