BIG u. S. NAVY BASE

American Naval Base, France
Here on this rugged Breton coast there
is an American naval establishment
which is a sort of composite of the
busy activity of the navy department
at Washington and one of the big
navy yards on the American seaboard.
Vice Admiral Wilson, commanding
the American naval forces in French
waters, has his headquarters here,
with an executive staff CHARTERED in
one of the largest buildings of the city,
fronting the Place President Wilson.
American bluejackets are on guard at
all the entrances, and steady files of
American naval officers and sailors
crowd the corridors on their various
duties
Besides the rush of the port itself,
this is the naval administration CEN
ter for 800 miles of the French coast,
divided into three districts, with a
number of the chief ports into which
the masses of American men and ma
teria1 are pouring.
Aside from the American transport
fleet which comes and goes, there is a
standing personnel of officers and men
in these districts. with some eighty
ships-destroyers. repair ships, con-
verified yachts, mine-sweepers and

aerodromes for balloons and airplanes,

tanks for fuel oil.

DOWN PLANE WITH RIFLE
Remarkable Feat of Workmanship
Described by American
Newspaper Man.

Atlanta, Ga.-How a German air
.,lane was brought down by a squad of
American infantrymen armed only
with rifles is graphically described in
a letter from Harl H. Coffee, we'll

through his former connection with the
Western Newspaper Union, and wl.o
Is now serving in France with the
Eighty-ninth division.
A small squad of American soldiers,
among them Mr.. Coffee, was resting
by the side of a road, when a German
plane, flying very low, passed over and
began dropping hand grenades. The
Americans opened fire with their rifles
and a chance shot struck the pilot in
the head, killing him instantly and
bringing the machine to the ground
with a crash. This is the first instance
reported where an airplane has been

FOE CUTS Fl YER s
PARACHUTEROPE

Paris.-An act of refined German
cruelty 1000 feet above a certain bat
tlefeld was related to me at the great
hospital at Neuilly, near Paris, by an
American balloonist, whose name can
not be mentioned because he is not yet
listed as casualty. This American
was descending in a parachute when
German aviator deliberately cut the
parachute ropes Here is his story:
Another lieutenant observer and
myself were up in a sausage We
were not worried, because the German
aviators had been very quiet lately.
Suddenly a German pursuit plane
dropped out of the clouds overhead
in straight nose dive toward our bal
loon, firing explosive bullets. We i'm
mediately took to our parachutes. The
blazing balloon collapsed and plunged
20 feet away from us. the fire scorch-
Ing us as it fell.
Cuts Parachute Ropes.
81 did not see the German aviator
until about minute after my para
chute had opened. Then he drove
past me, firing not at me but at the
parachute ropes. I saw tracer bullets
overhead had cut two ropes. The
parachute began to wobble and threat
ened to collapse.
1.-The enemy flyer drew a circle, then
came back, despite the arches (high
angle guns) whose shells were menac-
Ing me as well as him.
Il tried to use my revolver, hoping
1 could land one bullet before plung-
ing, but I was hampered by the har-
ness. The coward deliberately grinned
at my first shot Then he fred again
at the ropes. I fell with sudden jar.
I saw third rope swiftly unraveling !;
it had been cut. Just then a shell
burst near and drove the plane away.
"Got Foes Number"
Imagine my sensation, swinging
helplessly in the air. watching the rope
