Dear Dad,

Dear Dad,
Your letter Of April 30th came
several days ago and | was
mighty glad to hear from you as
it was the first time since I'd
been at the Front.
| haven't flown any today but
hope to get up tomorrow. Yes
terday three of US went out on
d Protection Patrol. 1t was our
job to escort a tWo-seater which
was doing artillery 'regulage"
so we had to fly low-about 5000
feet-and of course the anti-air-
craft would open up on US every
time we crossed the line. 1t
was quite interesting to watch
the shells explode around us and
see puffs of smoke appear, but
we unanswered too much for
them to hit us. One shell ex-
ploded under me and gave my
machine a little lift" but it
was the only one felt at all. |
could see the trenches very
plainly but it was difficult to tell
which were the Hun trenches
and which was the Allies. After
I've been here about ten days
longer Pm going to ask to be
sent to a tWo-seater observation
squadron. While | had rather
stay here and fly these scouts
yet | feel that | can learn some
thing more at another squadron
and | want to be well equipped
for the work | am to do. This
morning Dug" Campell got his
fifth "Boche" which makes him
an ace. | don't think any
man has ever equalled his rec
ord. He has brought down five
machines during his first six
weeks at the Front.
We have been having quite a
few entertainments recently.
Elsie Janis gave her show here
several nights ago and then the
next day the Heron Sisters"
five girls gave a musical enter
tainment. Elsie has token sew
eral meals with US recently.
We have been having some
wonderful nights recently and |

of them with you ~. Two

the country thru which we

really a pleasure to ride in an

Flying of course is fascinating

has been maneuvoring over the
lines for nearly two hours it
becomes rather tiresome. | saw

Yesterday was full day for

on a patrol with three others
but before we reached the lines
one had to land and another be-
came separated from us leaving
only two of US in the patrol.
We flew up and down the lines

and a half but didn't get in any

EIGHT MEN INJURED

Twenty men were occupants Of an
automobile truck that skidded on
Good Hope hill last night and over
turned. Eight of them were so badly
hurt that they were taken to Casual
ty Hospital. Police of the eleventh
precinct who investigated the acct
dent said they failed to understand
how the men escaped with such slight
injuries.
The truck was operated by Leslie
Weisman, 1888 18th street, who was
returning from the naval proving
ground at Indian Head, Nd, where he
had taken the men for the purpose of
getting work. The men were disap-
pointed at their failure to obtain en-
ployment, they told the police. Most
of them were going to Union station
to board outgoing trains.
Those who were injured and taken
to the hospital were: Ira F. Deturk

WOULD BAR BERGER
! FROM HOUSE SEAT
Members Plan Vigorous Fight
on Socialist, Under Indict-
ment for Espionage.
PRECEDENTS FOR ACTION

In preparation for a vigorous at
tempt to prevent Victor Berger. So
cialist, elected to Congress as sue
cessor to Representative W. H. Stat
ford in the fifth Wisconsin district,
from taking his seat, several MEM
bers have been looking up precedents
on which he may be barred.
They say that because he is under
grand jury Indictment for violation
of the espionage act by obstructing
recruiting. attempting to cause in
subordination in the armed forces of
the United States and seditious ut
terances, there is abundant authority
under the rules to prevent his serv-
ing, even before his case comes up
for trial.
Find a Parallel Case.
Two precedents have been found, in
GLIDING a civil war case, in which the
House members feel that they have
located a parallel to that of the Wis
ccnsin socialist.
The cases of Philip f. Thomas of
Maryland, to whom admission to the
Senate was refused in 1868, and of an
elected representative from Utah
named Roberts, are now being cited
as presidents, illustrating the rights
of the House to pass upon the qualifi-
cations of its members. Thomas was
a southern sympathizer during the
civil war, and it was alleged that he
had encouraged his son to enlist in
the Confederate army. After a long
debate the Senate passed this resolu-
ton:
Resolved, That Philip F. Thomas.
having voluntarily given aid, counte-
nance and encouragement to persons
engaged in armed hostility to the
United States, is not entitled to take
the oath of office as senator of the
United States or hold a seat in this
body as such senator. and that Presi-
.ient pro tempore inform the Governor
OF Maryland of the action of the Sem
ate in the premises"
Roberts was not allowed to take
the oath because of his belief in
polygamy.
Refer to Constitution.
Two clauses of the Constitution are
being suggested as giving authority
to the House to decide whether Berger
shall take his seat. Section 1 of
Each house shall be the judge of
elections. returns and qualifications
of it's members"
Section 3 of the fourteenth amend
ment states:
NO person shall be a senator or
representative in Congress. or elected
to be President or Vice President, or
hold any Office civil or military under
the United States or under any state.
who having previously taken an oath
as member of Congress or as an
officer of the United States or as an
executive or judicial officer of any
state to support the Constitution of
the United States. shall have engaged
in instruction or rebellion against
the same, or given aid and comfort to
the enemies thereof. But Congress
may by vote of two-thirds of each
house remove such disability"
As Berger has served a term in the
House. he must have taken the oath
alluded to. If he should be found
guilty in the courts he would be au-
tomato. diSbarred from member
ship in me House. But under It's
rules, congressman said today, the
House, even before the trial, could
refuse the socialist his seat.
