GERMAN A|RMAN
Tells How He Lo S t
Passenger
Prisoner Within British Lines Is
NOnchalant

From a staff Correspondent of the As
ISOLATED Press. British Headquarters in
France, via London. NJ 27-A German
aviator just shot down within the Brit
ish lines told with amazing nonchalance
how he lost his passenger in mid-air. The
prisoner corporal, was plotting a two
The passenger was new lieutenant OBJ
server whom the pilot was taking up for
the first time.
The lieutenant was nervous from the
start and kept giving the pilot contradic-
tory instructions which caused him COM
pletely TO lose his way. That is how he
happened to get over the British lines.
The pilot turned his machine eastward,
as he thought, but believed something
must have gone wrong with the compass.
He had not flown great distance when
he sighted several British fighting scouts.
Now the passenger became fairly frantic
and began beating the pilot on the back,
urging him to swing around in the oppo-
site direction.
This further confused the pilot and
the first thing he knew one Of the
British machines had opened fire and
shot him through both legs. The pilot
took matters in hi4 own hands then
and in order to escape from the at
tackers, dived almost vertically with
the engine full on. He did not flat<
ten out until within 200 feet of the
ground and then, almost faint from
his wounds. he let the machine slip
and landed with a crash.
A search of the wreckage revealed
no trace of the observer. II think, he
must have been thrown out" said the
German pilot. He was" said one of
the pilots captors. who had seen the
officer pitch headlong to his death.

STRANGE ATTACK
Believe Attack Made on
Wireless Tower
Fifty Shots Fired at Defenders
at Portsmouth Plant

Portsmouth. Va, May 27.-what is be-
lieved by government officials to have
been an attack on the wireless station at
Virginia Beach by enemy agents was
thwarted Saturday, morning by the
Waterman and operators.
Frederick Roach, operator. was wound
ed by the ifltruders. 1t was at first re-
ported that the crew of the station had
been wiped out by the attacking party,
but Roach was the only man hit.
Help was summoned by wireless from
the navy yard in this city and marines
and bluejackets were rushed to the scene
from the battleships here and from the
marine barracks. A squad of sailors and
marines at the rife range near Cape Hen
ry was also summoned. A vigorous search
was made of the surrounding territory
and several suspectsfwere taken into Gus
tody and turned over to the United States
officials at Norfolk.
1t was about A. NJ. Saturday when the
Waterman of the wireless tower at the
beach became aware that men were
prowling about the outside of the reser-
walton. They ran into the protecting net
in the darkness and the watchmah open
ed FIRE.
Instantly his shots we're returned by the
attackers 1t is stated that some so shots
we're fired into the wireless station and
Il is regarded as remarkable that any
of the men there escaped injury.
The supposition is strong that the at
tack has sinister significance. 1t is sur
missed that it was desired for some reason
to seize the plant, presumably for the
purpose of sending some message of i'm
portance to the enemies of the United
States.
