GERMAN FLlER TALKS OF
TRIP OVER FRENCH LINES

London, Sept. 1.-The following let
ter from a German military aviator
to his parents is printed in Il recent
issue of the Brandenburger Zeitung
Last Saturday night l received or
ders to start on a fight into the en-
emy's country at daybreak the follow
ing morning. The assignment was to
fly from our garrison over a French
fortress into France, thence westward
to Mas, to spy out French lines of
communication, and then to fly back.
The entire distance was 200 miles l
studied maps of the whole region un-
til midnight
Next morning we rose and headed
west In half an hour we had reached
an altitude of 1900 meters, and then
we headed for the French border My
observer called my attention to little
puffs of smoke and l knew we were be-
ing fired at by hostile artillery, so
climbed TO 1000 meters. Next we
noticed that three of the enemy's aero
planes were pursuing us. but soon we
outdistanced and lost sight of them.
I'VE now flew over the border to-
ward a battlefield of the war of 1870
II, which we reached without any
further untoward incidents. Here we
noticed long columns of troops march
ing from south toward northeast. We
circled around the place and then
started toward Mas. We were now
fired on.
Suddenly I noticed a faint culver
ing throughout the whole aeroplane.
Upon our return l saw one of the
planes had four holes made by rife
bullets"
