DESCRIBES KILLING
OF FRENCH AVIATOR
German Artillerist Tells How the Mans
Machine Was Brought Down and
Gun-Pointer Won the
Iron Cross.
Correspondence OF the Associated Press

| Correspondence OF the Associated Press
| Berlin, Dee II A German artillerist
writing from Bapaune, France, tells OF
the death OF French aviator who was
brought down by German gunners.
To-day saw u French aviator
brought down by our guns" he said.
"The French Aycrp had been growing
holder and holder especially in reconnoit-
ering behind Our front, and so we CON
cealed a half battery of howitzers in a
village about four miles to the rear in
order TO teach them II lesson. Things
happened as we expected; by 8 o'clock
in the morning there came an aeroplane,
sailing along with the greatest assurance
in the world The guns at the front were
not permitted 10 fire, and after passing
them the aviator thinking all danger
past, kept coming lower and lower, reach
ing finally level Of only about 1000
feet Not suspectinR that he would en-.
counter German artillery so far to the
rear he came within easy shooting dis
tanee for our gunncrs in the village.
Suddenly two shots were heard, and
two little white clouds were observed III
the air not far from the aeropane. The
aviator remained virtually at the same
spot, until he was almost enveloped by
the next two cloudlets; one shot explod.
ed just in front of him, the other just be
hind him. Our men had gotten Their
range very quickly. Then followed two
more shots, one little TO the right, the
other Just to the left. As seen through
my field glasses the aeropIane seemed to
waver, as if it had been damaged. 1t did
not seem to obey its steering gear, for it
could not get away from the spot
"The next two shots fired almost sim
settled its fate. The first
one cut off wing smoothly. The other
was square hit and the apparatus was
sea ttered to the four winds. | have not
seen such beautiful shot in the whole
war. The gun-pointer who fired it had
already distinguished himself on several
occasions, and he won the iron cross with
achievement. The fragments OF
this aeroplane were picked up afterwards |
from wide reach of ground, but of the |
lviator only few bits were found.
Yesterday" the letter continued, eve |
set up some boards in an abandoned posi- |
ion to resemble gun shield. Then we |
iawed off logs and painted them to look |
ike cannon muzzles when placed in posi-
ion between the boards. To-day the
french peppercd away at this supposed
,attery and fred l72 shots before their
yiators could tell them that they had
,een duped."

Victim to Mines.

liner Pennsylvania, in yesterday from

by the waves and exploded about 25 feet
off the steamers bow A fragment OF
steel from one of the mines shot across
the deck OF the liner and tore away

Notes on the Game.

oliver, who played right guard. did
not lower his reputation Of last year as a
star guard. While he played Alexander,
who got six baskets during the game,
only got one.
Hooker, if he keeps up his fast play
ing, will surely make a big help to the
Spaulding team.
The coach is surrounded by fast
bunch of substitutes.

start to finish. First one team would be
ahead and then the other. Graniteville
got the first point on foul by Levin for
running, Aldrich putting the ball in
Feeley was fouled for the same thing and
Tomasi made the point. Alexander made
the first basket from the floor but Hook
er soon had one in to even up. Thus the
game went through the first period of 20
minutes, leaving Graniteville in the lead
by one point, the score being IA to l3,
II was in the first period that oliver
won hearty applause by getting his sim
gle basket of the evening from the oppo-
site side of the hall.
In the second period F. Carroll replaced
oliver and later Sector was put in
Nichols replaced J. Carroll at center and
toward the last part of the game Smith
replaced Tomasi. In this stage of the
game Graniteville showed some very fast
work in the line of passing, but when it
came time to shoot, Spaulding had them
covered. Toward the last of the second
period the score was 20 to % in favor of
Granitevlle when Hooker on a neat play
dropped the ball in, tying the score. Le-
vim, the left forward of Spaulding, played
a good game at defence, but failed to To-
cate the basket although he tried several
times The game was not by any means
devoid of fouls, for ii were made during
the game. only five coming from Spauld-
ing. BY the outlook of the game Spauld-
