DARING WORK OF Twin AvIATORS
MAKES THEM HEROES IN FRANCE
Navarro Boys Both Mentioned National Army Orders Succeed in
Destroying Many Enemy Battle Aeropanes-Mother Says 1T
Is Not the Cradles but the Tombs Which Attach Us
So Closely to Our Country"

Paris.-The Navarro twins. as avi-
,ators, are for the moment the talk Of
rance.
I Several times both of them have
been mentioned in national orders.
one in particular on account Of his
wonderful success in destroying Ger
man battle aeroplanes.
Jean Navarro. who has hitherto
been the best known as "Adjudant'
Navarro where "adjudant" is not the
equivalent Of "adjutant" in the Ameri-
can acceptation of the word. but cor
responds to sergeant major) Is now a
sublieutenant. It was not he. however.
a. erroneously understood by the Ger
man newspapers. but the other twin,
Pierre. who recently challenged the
successful German aviator. Lieutenant
1mmelmann, to q duel in the clouds.
which the latter refused.
While Georges Guinemer continues
to be the hero Of the French school
boy on account of his extremely youth
full appearance and his delicate. boy
ish face. the Navarro brothers have at
tracted wide attention in a most sur
prising degree, as they are equally
youthful. being only twenty years old.
and as they had already been noted
for their general ability as amateurs In
field sports. They are small. vigorous.
bright and vivacious.
They had been in the military serv-
ice only a few weeks when both be-
gan to receive decorations. Jean was
the first to become an airman and thus
far has the advantage over his brother
Of having already destroyed a suffi-
cient number of enemy machines to
warrant his name being used with
each fresh exploit, an honor which has
not yet been accorded to his brother
Pierre for aviation work. as his deeds
in the air are alluded to without the
name being given.
Pierre already has been mentioned
by name. however. for other military
service.
Mere Boys Become Aviators.
But 1t is not merely the popular in.
terest which the two young men have
aroused that makes their case inter-
esting. but the fact that the military
authorities regard the advent Of the
young men into the French aviation
service As an event Of the greatest i'm
portance. and as proving that mere
boys can make great aviators.
