"R0kRiNG WAVE OF FIRE,"
 IS HURLED BY GERMANS
Many of the Victims Die From Suffo
 cation In Intense Heat.

A dispatch from the Daily Chronk cles correspondent in the north of France says that an officer who was on the fighting line when the Germans attacked with blazing gases has given his impressions of this novel engine of warfare as follows:
 'I don't think the use of these flames was any less formidable than that of asphyxiating gases. Their effect at short range is much worse, but it is easier to find shelter from them. The flames carry only a relatively short distance and cannot reach you a long way off, as often is the case with poi son gases.
 ''The flame Is yellow with a blue nucleus and Is directed through pow erful air jet It springs from the ground level and expands into roar ing wave of fire. Indeed, the flame is very much like that of common Bun- sen burner. used in laboratory. only yellower
 'The pressure of air or other gas that Is used to force the fnf1ammable liquid through the jet must be enormous in

them; second, the great need of the south is for farmers, capable of doing intensified farming, to settle upon waste tracts of uncultivated farm lands in Dixie.
 There are now in Georgia at least two concrete propositions which will be made to Belgians.
 One Is the settlement of q tract of some 1.700 acres of farm land in Lowndes county. Upon showing that families desiring to settle on this land are reliable people 1t is stated that all financial arrangements will be made for them, including transportation. Part of the land is wooded, and Bel gians settling there will be paid for clearing this land There is com munity store, at which credit will be extended to those tillng lands on this tract. Options will be given on these lands at their present price. There is a similar plan for settling large tract of land in Jones county. near Macon. where fifty farmhouses have already been built.

WILLIAM THAW DECORATED.
American In French Aviation Corps
 Gets His Third Citation.


 William Thaw of Pittsburgh. who Is serving as an aviator in the French army, has just received his third cita ton in the orders of the day. He has been detailed to the dangerous work Of locating and observing German bat teries, often situated two or three miles behind the first line.
 Recently while flying low one shell broke immediately beneath his ma chine. It is the Germans custom to fire three test shells to locate an avi- ator's range. As soon as the first shell broke Thaw immediately started to rise and then dive to avoid the two ensuing shells.
 moment later one shell exploded a short distance in front and the third one directly behind. A piece of shrap- nel carried away a portion of the tail, and for a moment the machine ap- peared lost. Thaw succeeded in right ing it, regaining control, turned and, after passing through a hot rife fire, landed safely inside the French lines.
 The general commanding the divi- sion, who witnessed the feat, asked to be presented to the aviator, as he wished to compliment him. Thaw was immediately brought before the gener- al The following morning the citation appeared in the orders of the day.

COURTESlES OF THE WAR AS
 TOLD BY MAN AT THE FRONT
Neither German Nor French Headquar- ters Have Been Attacked From Air.

Although well within the striking radius of aircraft. neither the general headQuarters of the German nor those of the French army along the western front ever have been subject to an aerial attack.
 Some light has been thrown on this mystery by a Belgian who recently escaped to England from his home near Charleroi, where the German general headquarters Is located. One day he expressed his surprise that these headquarters, frequently visited by the kaiser and where more than a thousand German officers are housed in new buildings in a conspicuous group, never had been bombed. The German officer to whom he expressed his surprise shrugged his shoulders, and, answering the question with an- other, said:
 Have you ever heard of General Joffres headquarters being bombedT' The Belgian replied in the negative, and the officer ended the conversation by saying, Well, that's the reason"
 This immunity does not extend to either divisional or corps headquar- ters, which frequently have been under fire from the air.
