HUNS MURDER WOUNDED MEN
 THEY CAPTURE

LONDON, (By maiD-The most graphic description yet to come out of all the terrific fighting on the west front of the brutality of the Germans in killing wounded men and men of fering to surrender is furnished by Sergeant Edwards of Princess Pat ricia's famous Canadian Light Horse. His story relates to the fighting about Ypres. during which the Ger mans, by a preponderance of man power, were able to force the British back, despite stubborn resistance by the defenders of the salient. It fol- lows:
 By Sergt. Edwards. of the "Princess Pats." The Germans lay on the opposite side of the ravine, and the smoke of Ypres and all the close-packed will lages of a thickly populated country side rose sullenly on every side.
 A German airplane dropped within 300 feet of our trench, and with tiny jets of vari-colored smoke bombs di- rected the terrible accurate fire Of their guns.
 This continued for another half hour, at the end of which time there remained intact only one small tra- verse in the trench, which owed it's existence to the fragment of chicken wire that held it's sides up. The rest of the fight was chaos, bit of pure he'll

 Men struggling, buried alive, and looking to us for the aid they would not ask for. We were receiving rife fire from four directions and bayonet thrusts from the Germans on the par apet. Moved down like sheep. And as they came on they trampled oui dead and bayoneted our wounded
 The Germans were pouring in from all sides, in waves, and especially from our unprotected Hanks and rear, hindered only by the desultory rifle fire of our two weakened companies in the support trenches. The machine gun crew had gone under almost to a man, doing their best to the last
 Fighting is Terrific One man, George Easton, was firing with me at the gray mass of the On- coming Huns. "My rifles damned" he cried.

 Just then the main body of the Ger mans swarmed into the end of the trench.

There Is A Reason For
Every Aviation Accident

flight commanders say from pilots los
ing their nerve. The driver finds he
has lost control of his engine, makes
frantic effort to right the plane, fails
the first time, lapses into unconscious
ness and the plane falls to earth al
such terrible speed that the aviator is
dead before he reaches the ground.
During their period of instruction, ca
diets about to fly are given strict
course to follow in the air. The loca-
ton in which some airplanes nave
fallen indicated that the cadets, once
up in the air, disregarded their IN
structions and followed their OVID
sweet will. According to the rules oil
the air If each plane has kept its course
under normal conditions collision Win
another plane is not possible.
Lieutenant C. s. Chase, Of Ellington
Field, Houston, recently described some
,, OF the hazards and duties of an airman.
Immediately following the first exercis-
es in which the students develop their
sense of balance and stability, they are
drilled in aerial dynamics.
Lieutenant Chase declared that air
pockets" are not pockets" at all but
are ascending and descending currents
caused by hot and cold waves in the
air. A plane ascends in warm currents
and falls in cold currents. Forests and
wet grass and trees make cool air
level stretches where the sun shines
contain warm air.
An aviator must understand meteor
ology, photography, wireless teiegra-
ply and be a master of machine-gun
fire. Lieutenant Chase added. When he
becomes a flying cadet and wears a
white hat band, he gets his first ride
aloft After few trips he does solo
that is, goes up alone, the most impor-
tant part OF his training. Next he flies
in formation and then on cross country
trips where he is compelled to land
guided only by maps and instruments.
Then comes his higher development
with machine gun fire and other spe-
cial training which increases his use
fulness as one of the "eyes OF the
army"
Officers commanding the Texas camp
while deploring the fatalities that have
accompanied the training of Uncle
Sans filters, say that, in comparison
with the number of men who have
been trained and become expert, the
total is surprisingly small.

DR.. R. l. BRYANS Is
HURT
I'm AUTO ACCIDENT

DR.. r.. L. organs suffered the frac-
ture of one of his legs in two places
last night at 10 80 o'clock, when an au-
tomobile driven by DR.. Thos. Stokes
ran into the other physician, at point
on the south side of Wright street be-
tween Guillemarde and Tarragona
streets. The suffering physician was
Immediately conveyed to the Pensacola
hospital in the city emergency wagon
and he was there treated by Drs.
Mobiles and Stokes, the two other doc
tors having been called in consultation
by DR.. Stokes.
Police Lieutenant Harper at once in
vestigated the accident and no arrests
were made, as it appeared that DR..
organs, unaware Of the approach Of
the automobile Of DR.. Stokes, seemed
to step directly in front of the ap-
preaching car of the other physician.
The accident created the greatest ex-
element. for it was Immediately re-
ported that a man had been killed.
Some woman who saw the accident
screamed shrilly several times, and
this only added to the excitement.
The police ascertained that DR..
organs, who has a drug store on the
opposite Of Wright street almost i'm
mediately opposite the place where the
accident occurred, had been summoned
to attend some woman, who was re-
ported to have had a fainting spell. The
woman's condition caused some other
party. it seems, to try and locate other
physicians, and among those told of the
need OF a doctor, was DR.. Stokes. At
any rate, after the woman had been re-
suscitated by DR.. organs, the latter
turned and started back to his office
across Wright street. About this time.
it was said. there were several auto
mobiles in the immediate vicinity, and
about this time the car driven by Dr..
Stokes reached the scene. Proceeding
at comparatively slow rate of speGd
on account of the partial congestion OF,
the street, the car was being carefully
operated, it was claimed, when the &C
cident happened, and Immediately DR..
Stokes rendered first aid to the sufferer
directing that he be removed to the
drug store and thence to the hospital.

Dallas, Tex, May 5-There il rea-
son for every aviation accident some
times ii is an obvious one but toe
often only the dead flyer ever knew
just what sent his machine crashing to
the ground.
Up to the middle Of April there had
been IS fatalities in the six Texas avia-
ton camps and in many OF the acci-
dents that caused them no one knew
just what unexpected condition, just
what weakness in man or material had
developed high in the air. Fort Worth
with its three aviation fields and its
preponderance of filters training under
the British officers in the Royal Flying
corps had 40 deaths up to April IL;
Houston was next with is.
Crashes may be due to misapplica-
tion of rules, unfamiliarity with pecu-
liar aerial conditions, faulty material
in the airplane, sudden fright Selling
the vaiator and mere recklessness.
In flying there are no brakes to ap-
ply. The pilot must be alert and ready
for any emergency. A plane just leaving
the field has the advantage over a
plane about to land in an impending
disaster. The landing plane is going
must faster than the one just revived
up" The pilot just starting up must
be careful not to misjudge his start
and thus be overtaken by plane that
is. rowerless to avoid the crash.
Machines passing in the same direc-
tion should have an interval of at least
200 yards to insure safety against col
lisions. When they are passing over
and under, they must pass at a dis
lance OF at least 80 yards and those
approaching head on pass must have
at least $50 yards between them.
One of the most common reasons for
nccdents, as given by instructors, is
1isobedience of orders. At a certain
height and going at certain well de-
fined speed. so many loops or dives or
whatever maneuver Is to be adopted,
may be made with safety. II the avia-
tor disregards the laws OF mathematics
In which he has been drilled and I'M
dertakes one more loop, the conse-
quences may prove fatal.
Landing in cross wind is highly
dangerous. 1t frequently causes the
plane to turn completely over and spins
the pilot underneath the heavy en-
