ELKO BOY BRINGS DOWN
HIS FIRST GERMAN AIRPLANE

Flight Lieutenant Ira Woodhouse OF
the royal air force, who enlisted in
the French ambulance corps more
than two years ago., from Ruby Valley,
is being given considerable mention in
the metropolitan newspapers for his
success IL the aviation corps, having
just beer credited with bringing down
his first German airman.
He is the son of Mr.. and Mrs. Isaac
Woodhouse of Ruby Valley, and is
well here, having attended the Elko
schools. Shortly after the great war
broke out he was fired with the idea
of joining the allies. but at that time
there was no way by which an Ameri-
can could join, so he applied and was
accepted in the French ambulance
corps. He went to France and was
assigned to service. and in the spring
of 1917, at Verdun, was awarded the
French war cross for bravery under
fire. Shortly after he was promoted
to the French aviation service by the
French minister of war.
When the United States took over
the aero experts of its own and or
ganized the elaborate system of aerial
coast defense service in France. Lieu
tenant Woodhouse joined the Ameri-
can squadron. While engaged in this
work he was so severely wounded in
the chest that he was relieved of
further duty in the war by the war
department.
While recovering his health and
strength in a base hospital in England
the young man resolved not to leave
the battling while things appeared a
bit gloomy. Consequently he applied
for enlistment in the royal British
air force and his services were accept
ed. He was sent to a school for Off
GERS and recently secured his flight
commission. The German plane which
he reports having felled is his first in
his new line Of seryice.-Elko Free
Press.

YANKEES GIVE HUNS
CHRISTIAN BURIAL
Mercy Is Shown to Dead and
Wounded Enemy by
Americans.

Paris.-The spirit which prompted
Americas entrance into the world wal
perhaps cannot be better exemplined
than the way In which German
wounded who fall into American
hands are cared for. 1t is likewise
evidenced In the Christian burial CIV
en- German dead and in the care taken
by the Americans to properly mark
their graves.
For while the creed of the Ameri-
can soldier is to give no quarter In
battle, those wounded are given every
consideration when they call out that
they have surrendered. Then It IL
that mercy is shown.
In a little cemetery nea Meaux
there are now graves of about thirty
Germans. each of whom was given a
Christian burial and each grave was
marked with a neat black cross, upon
which the name of the German was
inscribed. A few yards away Is an
other cemetery-that of French and
Americans. The only difference In the
manner of burial is that the American
and French graves are marked with
white crosses.
Moreover, ~caretakers of the GENE
terry, whenever they have placed flow
ers on the graves of fallen heroes of
the allied armies, have also strewn
the ground covering the enemy's sol
diers with flowers. The cemetery IT.
self is as neatly looked after al that
of the Americans and French.
