Story Is Told Showing Gallantry and Self Sacrifice
 |Of Men Who Fight in the Air

| Paris, June 5-(Correspondenee of the Associated Press )-The gallantry and self-saerafice of aviators is illustrated | in the story of a captain observer and his protector-pilot. who have just es- caped death after a perilous flight in Lorraine
 The captain was assigned to observa- ton duty only, with pilot as protec- tor. in a swift Spad, accompanying him to guard against enemy attack The at tack materialized quickly enough. but so suddenly that the pilot could not warn the intent captain, and so quietly that the captain lid not notice the three German machines that came sweeping down from far above
 The pilot saw at once that there was but one way to save the unconscious and absorbed captain-by drawing the attack upon himself-and this he did His Spad machine was soon shot through with bull let's despite his utmost efforts and in no time he was whirling earthward. The captain had been attracted by the ma chine gun fire and was making rapidly for the French lines in his slower ma chine.
 The German attacking machines sec ing the Spad apparently hopelessly dis aided. went after the observers air. plane. They never succeeded in catching u with it. The captain was mourning the loss of his friend. the pilot. when a telephone message informed him that the latter had landed safely within the French lines.
 Despite his almost certain sacrifice he had been able, when within short distance of the ground to straighten himself out. and fly just over the tree tops, unhindered by furious enemy fire. to point just within the French lines His airplane, after landing, was vicious ly shelled by the Germans.
