HEROINEs RISK LIVES
Attend Belgian Wounded During a
Gas Attack.
Two Women Are Decorated by King
Albert for Bravery In
Action.

London.-Caught In a German gas
attack on the Belgian lines, Baroness
Tserclaes and Miss Marie Chisholm
risked their lives to attend to the
wounds Of King Albert's soldiers. Both
women are In London recovering from
the effects Of the German gas.
They were equipped with gas masks
in their dressing station, which was
Immediately behind the battle line, but
discarded them without thought Of the
danger in order better to attend the
wounded. Both have been decorated
by King Albert for bravery.
The women had conducted an ad-
vanced dressing station on the Belgian
front for three years. They worked In
the cellar of house Just behind the
Belgian positions along the Newport
Ypres railway. In recent attack the
Germans drenched the whole Belgian
front with gas. They then attacked,
but the Belgians repulsed them.
The gas fumes penetrated into the
cellar, where the women were work
ing. They donned their gas masks
and continued to attend the wounded,
but found they could not work so well.
They discarded their respirators. They
worked steadily for hours, binding up
wounds and rendering first-aid assist
ance. Both finally collapsed and had
to be taken away.

Ability to Deal With Unexpected
Situations Gives Them Superb
GRITTY in Air.
RAMS HUN IN AERIAL FIGHT
Young Pilot, Caught With Gun Jam.
med, Crashes Into German Craft,
Sending It Hurting to
Earth.

Behind the British Lines In France.
"A British machine rammed a Ger
man airplane In an aerial battle few
days ago. The British machine after
ward made successful landing, but
the German machine was demolished.
The whole incident, shows the neces-
sity for an airman to develop an al
most supernatural ability to deal with
unexpected situations. 1t is generally
believed one Of the chief reasons for
the present German inferiorlty in the
air Is that the average German pilot Is
incapable Of adjusting his mental bal
ance In performing or anticipating the
unexpected.
In this particular contest the Ger
man airman got his gun to bear at
polnt-blank range on the British pilot
in mldair, the Brltisher's gun being
temporarily out of action owing to a
jam.
The British machine was one Of
squadron engaged in long distance
reconnaissance behind the German
lines. They had been heavily attacked
by German patrol, but by splendid
gunnery and superb airmanship had
driven off the Germans after downing
four Of them.
Quick Wit Saves Brlton.
1t was while pursuing one of the
fleeing German machines that the pi-
lots gun damned, and he was forced
to break off his pursuit and climb up
to the shelter of his squadron until his
gun could be got into action again.
Before he could regain his altitude the
German dived down on him. The en-
envy plane came out Of the heart Of the
sun straight at him, SO he did not see
the approach of his antagonist until
the latter's bullets came whizzlng
through his wings. CHANGING up, he
saw his enemy only few yards away.
1t was impossible for the British
pilot to dive or sidesllp. The German
would simply have followed him down
and continued to pump In bullets at
point-bla1k range. Neither could he
remain OF his course or German bull
let would surely reach him.
In flash he summed up the situa-
ton, saw the only chance open to him,
and snatched at 1t instantly.
Drawing back his control lever he
sent his machine shooting upward to
meet the oncoming German. Before
the later realiz d what was happen
ing the two airplanes were In collision.
But the British pilot had so Judged
thlngs-more by luck than good man.
Rgement, he afterwnrd declared-that
his undercarriage crashed into the
enemy's upper plane, tearing It clear
of the main structure.
Lands Crippled Craft Safely.
Both machines turned turtle as a
result of the tremendous impact and
nose-dived earthward, dive from
which the German never recovered.
He went crashing completely out of
control.
The British pilot fattened out his
machine after falling 500 feet and was
able to rejoin his squadron minus his
undercnrriage, but with his machine
otherwise almost unchanged.
But he had yet to land his machine
in safety. and landing an airplane
without an undercarriage is no easy
task. His comrHde" all got down be-
fore him and gathered in silent
