Tricks of the Bold Aviators;

WHY THEY ARE PULLED
Deceptive to Startling Degree;
How the Scheme May Be

WHY THEY ARE PULLED
WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS.

With the British Armies in France,
September 27.-[By Mail.]-It is not
only the smart dog that knows how
to play dead and roll over" Battle
plane pilots out here do it every day,
both British and German. 1t frequent
ly happens that it is only by playing
dead that they keep alive.
When planes are fighting high in
the air and one suddenly finds himself
in tight corner, he plays dead" That
is, he shoots vertically up into the
air, turns over on his back and liter
ally falls, head first, rolling over and
over, Stimulating all the motions of a
plane whose pilot has been killed and
which is utterly out of control. So de-
ceptive are these movements that it
is impossible to tell the difference very
often from the real thing.
How the Plan Works Out.
Today I saw a good example of how
this playing dead" works out. Lieu
tenant A flying at an altitude of three
miles, well above the clouds, en-
countered two enemy machines. He
dived at the nearest and at short
range fired short burst into it from
his machinegun. 1t pitched on its nose,
and with smoke coming out of its
fuselage, went plunging and spinning
into the clouds below
1t so happened that a pilot belong
ing to an entirely different squadron
happened to be patrolling under the
clouds above which the fight took
place. In his report he mentioned see
ing an enemy plane, of a certain type,
fall in flames out of the clouds over
his head and, burning fiercely, crash
to the earth at such and such spot.
AS both time and place and the
circumstances conceded exactly with
the report of Lieutenant A. Lieutenant
A was credited with bringing down
the German plane. But for this acct
dent his fight would have netted his
record nothing.
Other Must Fall Also.
Whenever possible the victor in a
fight in the air follows the falling
plane to the ground and actually sees
it smash to bits, When this happens,
to onlookers on the ground, it appears
exactly as if both planes are falling
for the one which follows must put
his plane into a 'nose-spin" and fall
in the wake of the other like stone
1t is only when the pursuing plane
sees his victim crash that he, at only
few hundred feet from the ground
"fattens out" and ICONS up into the
sky again. Sometimes, to make sure,
the pursuer fires so or 100 rounds at
his falling opponent as he falls in
his wake to make sure that the spin
is real and not just willy pilot play
ing dead" So it sometimes happens
that fall begins by pilot playing
dead and ends it becoming genuine.
In these cases the victorious pilot will
never know whether was firing at
an enemy trying to escape or into the
back of a dead man.

make good argument for the Lib

$l5 or $40 per month. A few of the men
who draw extra pay for various rea-

the men in the regiment as 1900 is
more than 1920 per man, and all the

we have until October 25. Of course
the men will get 20 per cent extra for
foreign service pay as soon as we
leave this country. That will be Sc per

and little more for the comparatively
few higher paid men. 1t is a good
thing for the men, as they will not
have so much money to spend, but
will have plenty especially in France
where they don't need much and then
when the war is over, we will expect
to get at least $4,000 for the regi-

200 men now. 100 of them signed for
$21,050. Another battery has 25,OOO

any spreading of it's fame in regard
to Liberty bonds for the reason that
the effect on the soldiers giving so

lery raised $4,000 in twenty-five
