GARROS Died FOR

"The fate of Roland Garros, who
made a deliberate sacrifice of his own
| life to destroy the German army d.
| rigible and send it's crew to death,
| confirms the most terrifying 'suspi-
cions Germany has ever dared to en-

Israel Ludlow, John Moissant, Garros
and another or two of the boys were
sitting in the Hotel. -Astor chatting
about aviation. in general
Ludlow, poor fellow. just, had re-
covered from fall which eparalyzed
him from the hips down. He was on
crutches. He had been telling us
that if he bad obeyed his wife and
kept out Of the flying game he would
have been a we'll man. Then re-
marked that my wife had, been after
me to get out of it,
Meantime Garros was sitting not
saving a word. Someone asked him if
he was lovesick. II /

"Then the conversation veered
around, as it inevitably does
when there are Frenchmen in the
crowd, to military aeroplaning.
"To French flyers personal achieve
ment always is a secondary consider
alton. Their first thought always is,
Hoy can they render service to
France? And that is the same as say
ing. How can they deal destruction
to Germany?
During the conversation, Garros
made this remark, which struck me
All my feats are for the glory Of
France. All my experiments have anil

| flying, we had more talks. His state
ments amazed me. l questioned him
for details and was told some things
I could scarcely believe. But in the
light of Garros' feat they must be
so. ps
II was told how some of the most
widely known aviators France has
known the world over for their dare
devil work, are in the service of the
French government and each has
made a solemn promise to give his
life should the occasion arise just
as Garros did, in wrecking dirigibles
of the enemy.
among the number I can call to
mind are Rene. Barrier, Andre Hou-
pert, Rene, Simon, Wegman, Vedini
and Beaumont. The first three men
know personally. have flown
with all the others. All exhibit the
same intrepid spirit of patriotism as
did Garros. If occasion offers they
will go to their deaths just as Garros
did. and do 1T; as they say, for the
glory of France
There is just one way to do up
Germany's terrible Zeppelin dirigi-
bles. GarrOs chose that way.
"The Zeppelin dirigible is the most
destructive engine of warfare the
world has ever known. Some of them
can carry 81 tons of nitro glycerin.
That would blow up an army. There
is just one way to. get them. That is
for an aeroplane to ram their gas
bag. 1t is Impossible for an aero
plane to fly over them and drop ex-
plosives on them. as has been sug-
gested, for an aeroplane travels too
fast.
: E The only way is for the aeroplane
to get up in the air, where gun range
from the dirigible, is obscured by the
gas bag, and do the spiral right into
the balloon. It means sure death to
the aviator, but the patriotims of
these Frenchmen knows no limits.
Thus France with her aeroplanes
will vanquish Germany with her dirig-
ibles, or I miss my guess

New York, Aug. 15.-The moving
picture houses are going to do the
greatest business in their history this
year. Things have been rather dull,
but the European war has proved a
great stimulus to attendance at the
theatres where events of the world
are shown On the screen. The first
pictures Of the war have begun to ar
rive and, in spite of the rigid CEN
sorship many of the views secured
by the moving picture men are very
interesting. In few weeks these
will be distributed throughout the
country.
