FRENCH OFFICER HAS
THRILLING EXPERIENCE

Paris Journal ~ Interesting:
Yesterday afternoon report ran
through the French lines that a
sausage balloon was or. Thousands
OF anxious eyes were directed toward
the little speck which grew fainter
In the distance as the southerly wind
waited 1t toward the German po-
sitions. -Four aeroplanes at once
started in the vain hope Of rendering
assistance, but everyone felt that the
observer was doomed. Minutes
passed. The balloon kept rising.
Soldiers forgot to FIRE, the suspense
was so terrible.
Then suddenly tiny gray speck
was seen to part from the balloon,
which shot up thousand feet, but
instead Of falling to earth the speck
seemed to be pulled up sharp in mid
air. At last, with the aid Of glasses,
observers saw that the speck was
human body suspended from a
parachute. A mighty cheer rose as
the truth was realized, but full ten
minutes Of suspense lasted as the
parachute with its human freight
slowly descended, and finally landed
close to the French lines"
The young lieutenant thus de-
scribed his experience: THE first
intimation that something had gone
wrong was when felt slight shock.
I thought the telephone cable had
parted. All at once became aware
that the other balloons were growing
smaller, and ! grasped the fact that
l was adrift. A glance at my barom-
eter told me that was already 5000
feet up. ! tried to pull the cord
working the hydrogen automatic
control. but It had become jammed
and refused to work. tried to climb
It,. but failed.
Then I feared was lost. My
first thought was to destroy my
papers that I Thought Of blowing out
my brains to avoid falling into the
hands of the Germans. Then, how
ever, came inspiration. Why not try
the parachute2 I had to be quick,
lfer, ! was now Al 90 feet up, The
