GERMAN A|RMEN DEPICT
DANGERS TO ANATORS
Hazardous Daily Life Graphically
Described by Two Recipients
Of Iron Crosses.

Correspondence OF the Associated Press.
BERLIN, October 25.-A graphic de-
scription of the hazardous daily life
of army aviators, particularly of two
Germans who have gained iron crosses
of both the first and second class. but
who will not discuss specific achieve
ments, has been written by Heinrich
Binder. one of the best known German
war correspondents. who came across
the airmen at Antwerp. This is Mr.
Binders account of tho aviators' work.
which was for artillery reconnaissance:
"At an average height of about 5000
feet our aviators circle in huge el1ipses
between our batteries and the hostile
position. The aeroplane vibrates. The
motor rattles and roars and huns and
HUNS This music soothes the nerves
of the aviators. It Is so loud in the
quiet in the upper air that it browns
the thunder of even the heaviest ar
tillery. With their field glasses the
flyers observe the hostile positions and
note the effect of our artillery. Sig
nails are given-feu to the right fell
to the left.' fell short and 'overshot
mark'-but these signals are secret
French Change Positions.
"The French follow their we'll known
tactics of changing their battery posi-
tions continually. But the aviators re-
turn again and again. dashing along
at over sixty miles an hour, and re-
port the new positions. 1t is murder
Gus fight. AS hawk circling around
chick before seizing it, so the avi-
ators, high in the air, circle around the
artillery positions of the enemy. her
aiding death and destruction. When
he approaches the hostile position bat
teries spray their shrapnels upon him
and the infantry concentrates it's fire
upon his aeroplane.
The aviator goes higher and higher.
till he can no longer see a man, and
the trenches appear as mere scratches
on the ground. But those of the
French are more distinctly visible, a
sharp red line marks where the French
infantry lies. Their fine red trousers
and bright colored caps betray their
position.
Shots Exchanged in Air.
1.-THE motor continues its roar and
clatter. Suddenly little French aero
plane emerges from a cloud. 1t Is
smaller and lighter than our kind, of
the type known as the peasants ter
ror.' 1t makes an average speed Of
seventy-five miles an hour and it is
armed. They try to approach and then
to elude each other. Neither side hears
the shots fired by the other. The avi-
ator can scarcely feel when a bullet
strikes his own machine
The two aerial combatants soar
higher, till one or the other disappears
in protecting cloud that closes
white and moist around him.. If the
danger becomes too threatening. a
gliding landing brings the aviators
within their own lines. They must
take care. however, not to get into the
line Of fire of their own army, for
some of the big mortars throw their
shells a mile or more into the air"

The limited amount Of money allowed
the United States engineers office in
this city under the curtailed river and
harbor bill for work on the Potomac
and other tributaries of Chesapeake
bay along it's western shore has caused
the practical laying up of the army
engineer service inspection steamer
Castle. and 1t is stated few trips over
the Washington engineering district
will be made this fiscal year. Recently
the steamer made trip on the bay
for the purpose Of destroying a sunken
vessel that was in the path of naviga-
tion. and on her return here all but the
master. engineer and one fireman were
laid off,
The steamer and the snag-pulling
boat York are lying at the engineer
service wharf on Potomac Park, at the
foot of 14th street southwest. Should
it be necessary for her to make a trip
to any part of the district men will be
employed to make up her crew for the
trip and on her return home will be
discharged.

look after the location of the nets
and to see that they are kept within
bounds, SO that the fish can reach fresh
water in tributaries of the Chesapeake
to spawn, and it is expected that a
special effort will be made to have an
allowance made her for this special

HENRY JOHN HAPPIER.

His many friends here learned
with deep regret that Henry John
Happier, seaman on the batleship
South Carolina, was seriously in
jured ashore, April %, in the opera
lions at Vera Cruz.
The news was conveyed to his par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. John Happier,
447 Elmira avenue, by a telegram
signed by Victor Blue, chief of the
ordnance department at Washington,
d. c.
The latest reports are that his condi-
ton is improving but he may lose his
right leg, as the bullet struck him near
the knee-cap. He is under treatment
on the hospital ship Solace.
Young Happier is the only son OF
his parents and is a native Algerine,
having been born here twenty-five
years ago. He is a tall, well-built
young fellow, being more than six
feet in height and weighing 1872
pounds.
About two years ago young Kapp-
Ter enlisted i'll the navy at New Or
leans recruiting office and was sent
to the Norfolk training station,
whence he was assigned to the battle
ship South Carolina, on which he
was serving in Mexican waters. He
was last heard from by relatives a
few days ago, when a postal card
mailed at Key West, Fla, arrived at
the Happier home in Elmira avenue.

His Choice.

Hobbs Is a good soul and a clever
pianist, but no genius, and nobody
takes him for one. Nevertheless he Is
a very serious person.
Consequently it seemed to his friends
a bit out of place for him to decorate
his music room by hanging up Wag-
ner's portrait and as a match to it on
the opposite wall one OF himself of
exactly the same heroic size. Some
body ventured to call Hobbs attention
as tactfully as possible to this slight
error of taste. He took it all very
kindly and seemed impressed. Upon
the next visit to his quarters it was
observed that the hint had borne fruit.
