HAND I ] HAN J BATTLE IN AN
 AEROPLANE
(By United Press)

WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES. June 19 - Adjutant Madon, of the French army aviation has just re- ceived a new citation to the order of the day before the French armies for what might be termed the first hand to hand battle between an aero plane and infantry.
 By leaving a German infantry pa. trol of twenty members annihilated, Madon has demonstrated that the ma chine gun mounted aerop,ane is as deadly on the ground as in the air.
 Madon. who Is one of the crack "aces" of the French aerial service. with eight German machines to his credit, had his battle just after bring ing down his eighth victim.
 This encounter had taken place miles behind the German lines. In the sharp manoeuvring about his Ger man antagonist before he finally caught the latter square in the range of his machine gun and sent him gyrating to the earth, Madon over. strained his motor, throwing out of gear the rythmic throb so essential to flying.
 Too far away from the French lines to cut off his motor and yolplane to safety, Madon had only one chance. This was to descend behind the enemy lines with the hope of getting his mo. tor started properly and getting back into the air before the enemy should bounce upon him.
 Selecting a cleared space back of a forest. Madon alighted and began the nasty readjustment. Presently he noticed a man approaching. staring at him curiously. As the individual was not in uniform, and as he was far enough back of the German lines to be in territory where the civil popu- lation might still be, he decided the

man must be French peasant. Call. ing out to him in French, he said
 Please go away quickly. my friend. don't need your services and your presence might attract the Germans. "
 Within an instant Madon was dis. ilusioned. Turning, the man uttered a command in German and signalled Tor an advance. Instantly a German patrol leaped to its feet, and with rifles aimed started to bear down on the French aviator.
 Almost at the same insant the motor or the airplane began the rhythmic chugging that indicated that 1t was again operating properly. Madon then leaped to his seat, loosened his brakes, adjusted his machine gun and charged at eyer-incrt as'ng speed on the ad yancing infanGry patrol
 The latter opened fire with their rifles as Madon's machine gun caught them in its deadly sweep. The Ger mans went down as though moved by cycle, not over three or four re maining standing or kneeling.
 Madon increased the speed of hi. engine and then bore down on tho few remaining Germans. Whether they fell before the wings of the aero plane struck them, or were moved down by the machine, Madon does not know. He knows that he swep over them and an insant afterward had taken the air.

Then we stasted little battle all our own, ard for half an hour we were shooting all over the place in the woods.

Three U-Boat Attacks
We're Made Upon
Pershing's Exp

Washington, Aug IMThree U.boat
attacks were made ON sections of the
Pershing expedition, Admiral Gleaves
to Secretary of the Navy Dan
iels today.
The first attack was by two boats
the night of June 22. Two torpedoes
were fired but missed the transports.
The second attack was on the. night
of June 25, one hundred miles off
France. One ship speed ahead, passing
over the submarine s bubbles and drop
ping depth charge as it went. This
was probably effective, as timber and
oil were seen later. Another ship had
fired on the boat first but missed.
The third attack was on the morning
of June 80.
Two torpedoes fired missed because
the transport at which they were direct
ed began zig gag course when realiz-
ing the danger.
Gleaves' account is even more spec
tacular than that put out July by
Daniels and the public information
committee.
1t states that the Germans apparent
ly knew of the location of the Ameri-
can transports and arranged an organ
lied series of attacks.

SOUTHERN PACIFIC
IS FACING A STRIKE
Railroad BrOtherhOOds De-
mand Grievances Be Re-
moved by Saturday

San Francisco, Aug. l.-Representa.
tives of the four railroad brotherhoods
today threatened to call members of
their orders employed by the Southern
Pacific rt ilroad on strike at midnight
Saturday unless grievances which have
been in process of negotiation for sew
eral months are Immediately settled
1t is estimated that such strike, if
called, would involve about $500
men.
W. r. Scott, vice e-president and gem
eral manager of the Southern Pacific,
this afternoon declared that he did not
anticipate any serious difficulty.
Grievances involving the members of
the brotherhoods are now being nego-
tiated, he said, and he added that he
is confident an amicable adjustment
will be reached
It is understood that the grievances
involve some $50 individual cases.
Representatives OF the Sbrotherhoods
have been here for several weeks con-
ferring with Southern Pacific officials.
Several months ago the Southern Pa
cific trainmen, by a referendum, EN-
powered a committee of their officers
to call strike if they decided one
would be necessary after failing to
gain satisfactory settlement of the
= srIeyances
