How German Gun Which BOmbarded Dunkirk Was
 Driven Off

Dunkirk, June 12.-The airman who To- cated the 15-inch German gun that bom- barded Dunkirk succeeded by only the ton in. Several pilots and observers French and English, volunteered for this service. The honor fell to a biplane with a pilot designated by permission of the censor as Monsieur NJ, with Monsieur H. as observer. Four other machines with their crews were ready to follow in case the first should not come back
 The second volunteer was about to take the air when speck appeared In the dis tance, rapidly growing larger but wab- bling like d wounded bird, struggling to maintain it's equilibrium. Suddenly 1t slipped down rapidly some hundreds of yards The waiting pilots watched with blanched faces until the machine lighted itself; 1t was still descending very rapid ly and the allies lines were still a thou- sand yards away.
 Its all mp with her" said one pilot Shell land Inside their lines" The bi- plane then made sudden lurch upward a hundred yards, then came down again more precipitately than before. It was this last desperate attempt that lifted her over the lines she landed just be- hind the allies trenches. The Germans opened a hot fire but a sharp attack by the French drove them out of their first line of trenches and the biplane was hauled back into safety with its great secret.
 Flying at height of 22o0 yards the bi- plane had gone abQat F miles behind the German lines There the observer saw some new eaNhworks and at the same moment a storm of shrapnel burst around the machine; a shell carried away part of the tail and tore a large hole in the lower plane. The observer, however. had time to locate deep ditch roofed over with concrete from which peeped the gaping mouth of the big guns that was sending half-ton shells into Dunkirk.
 The aviator was bleeding profusely from a wound in the stomach when he landed but he had the energy to make a clear, comprehensive report. He said, 'T am satisfied" and then died.
 A few hours later the French artillery had located the German gun and were reducing its concrete armor.
