~ HERE has been great objection
among the members Of the
- American aviation squadron
with the French army, known as the
Lafay cite escadriIle, to changing
from the French to the American ser
vice on account Of the treatment they
so long received from the American
government, which was continued in
what was to the aviators an even
more Objectionable form after Amer
lea interviewed in the war.
It was a difficult thing to persuade
the American aviators that they
ought TO fly for this country. As re-
Gently as the middle Of June a ma
lOriry Of the members of the Lafay-
cite escadrile were against changing
their uniforms, and they demanded
considerable concessions before the

Up 10 the moment this country
went into the war there was only
one member Of the Lafayette esca-

fact that he was officially known to
exist TO his brother. Benjamin Thaw.
an under secretary at the embassy.
Lieut. LudW could drive up openly TO
the embassy in his automobile and go
in and out without fear. Some of the
other fliers could visit their friends
