Letters From Rickenbacker

were regular German crosses, just
like the ones you see on German
planes before you let them have it.
"You want to look at Doug's coll
lection of crosses. He started them
in one end Of the ring and made them
real small. There are now seven Of
them in the ring, but they stretch
barely quarter of the way across
the ring. That is Doug's quiet way
of showing his confidence in getting
lot of boches before the war is over.
Doug wants to have room for all the
crosses necessary across the ring and
he has made them small.
"The rest Of the boys are now put
ting crosses in the rings as soon as
they land Germans and we're getting
quite collection of black iron cross
es in the gimper squadron. For holes
made by German shells in our planes.
we Also use crosses, provided the
holes are of large enough size. Small
ones are too common to count. But
big ones are patched and black
cross is painted over the patch.
"Not a few of the gimpers put
other pictures on the planes by way
of inspiration. ] think the best stunt
was that of gimper who pasted
Howard Christy Chandler's war pos
ter of the Liberty Girl on the lower
wing of the machine, where he could
always see it. The poster has the
words Buy Liberty Bonds or Fight
for Her. Which will you do?' As
the gimper explained to us, it in
spired him to fight. I see a boche
up there and then always look at the
girl on the wing, he says,
:" 1T says buy bonds or fight. /
haven't any money and couldn't buy
a bond up there if / wanted to. So
there's nothing to do but to fight.
That's the way the girl inspires me-
"We've been out here long enough
now to know the gimpers will live up
to the hat-in-the-ring idea, and they
never run away from fight. The
idea was happy one and IL has had
a lot to do with the morale of the
squadron. The gimpers started out
with the right kind of spirit and en-
thusiasm, and it's worked wonders
when we got into fights with Huns"

Russian Pleads
That Old Regime
May Be Returned

AMSTERDAM, Aug. 5.-Michael
Rodzianko, former president Of the
Russian duma, has published an ap-
peal in the Vechernee Vremya, Of
Petrograd, n favor Of the restoration
of the imperial regime.
"Only a car" he writes, "ean ere
ate a strong army and establish a
able to retain the rights
gained by the revolution. Only a
car can bring the labor question to
a satisfactory solution. One single
party must be organized in which all
classes can unite in a strong league"

WITH THE AMERICAN AIRMEN
IN FRANCE, July 10.-(By Mail. y
"All gimpers have to live up to the
idea of the squadron emblem" ex-
planned Lieut.. Eddie Rickenbacker,
all-American ace, and former auto
mobile racing driver.
"Every man has picture Of hat
in a ring on his machine. That means
he is ready to fight any time, whether
Heinie wants to or not. The squad
ron is sometimes known as the hat
in-the-ring squadron. But among
ourselves it's gimpers. We adopted
the hat-in-the-ring as our emblem
back in our training days. Then it
was our hope to be the first fighting
squadron to get to the front.
"Our commanding officer, who had
flown with the French, used to have
a hat as the emblem of his machine.
Some one suggested that we take the
hat, put a ring around it, carrying
out the idea of ex-President Roose-
veit's famous statement tnat we were
ready to fight any time
"The hat we had in mind then was
a derby, and some one suggested
when we were discussing the emblem
that it be made an Uncle Sans hat,
with stars and stripes on it. The idea
was gimper itself, and we soon de-
signed an Uncle Sans hat in a ring
of red, white and blue on each ma
chine.
"For long time we could say
of the emblem, but finally
a couple of the boys were forced
down in Germany. cannot say we
noticed any difference in the way the
German flyers treated us, for they
never did have the say as to whether
we would fight or not. We always
have had to carry out the hat-in-the-
ring idea and go after them.
"Doug Campbell added the finish
ing touch to the hat-in-the-ring en-
blem when he got his fifth Hun, and
became the first all-American trained
ace. Somewhere, he scared up paint
brush and painted little black cross
in the ring around the hat for each
German he had brought down. They

Tales of the V. c..
Two Men Cap
ture a German
Trench
By Lieutenant J. P. Lloyd
This is the story of how an Eng

-HIS is the story of how an Eng
lish soldier of a London regi-
Il ment, with the help of comrade,
attacked a German trench, captured
two German machine guns and killed
their crews.
"a, 1917, the 18th Battalion of the East
Surveys advanced against the German
positions near the village of Villers
Polvich. The company on the right
was held up by two machine guns firing
from a trench in front Of the village.
Protected by a thick belt of barbed
wire, the two guns swept the ranks Of
the attackers from end to end. Under
such hail of death it was impossible
to advance.
Then, when it seemed as if the at
tack must fail, Corporal Edward Eos
ter and q lance corporal of his COM
pany volunteered to make an attempt
to silence the machine guns. Armed
each with Lewis gun and some bombs,
the two men jumped to their feet and
rushed across the open ground toward
the German trench. They had reached
the entanglements almost before the
enemy had realized that the desperate
enterprise had begun. Under storm
of rifle and machine gun fire the gal
liant pair forced their way through the
wire and jumped down into the trench
among the Germans.
Hopelessly outnumbered as they
were, the two Englishmen proved more
than match for their enemies. Luck
was not with them at the first, as the
lance-corporal's gun jammed, and be-
fore he could free the stoppage the
Germans were upon him. They
swarmed like bees down the trench,
thinking to have an easy victory. The
Lewis gun was wrenched out of his
hands, but he did not lose it for long
Before they could do him further mis-
chief Corporal Foster mad come to his
rescue. A few Mill's bombs quickly
changed the Germans ideas on the
rights of property, and they fed along
the trench, leaving their dead behind
them.
Corporal Foster lost no time in fol-
lowing up his success. He led the way
ment. and, opening fire with his Lewis
gun from the distance OF a few yards,
wiped out the guns crew and the
whole of its infantry escort. The sec
ond machine gun Jared no better, and
in a few minutes the corporal had
captured the whole trench and killed
every man of it's garrison.
Now that this obstacle had been re-
moved from its path the company went
forward once more and swept through
the village to it's objective on the fur
Their side. Meanwhile Corporal Foster
had rejoined his platoon and remained
with it throughout day OF heavy
..E.-ing.
By his splendid bravery and absolute
! disregard for his own safety he set a
shining example to every man in his
company.
