Miss Godsey Now
On Way to France
WILL SERVE IN RED CROSS
RANKS IN CLERICAL CAPAC-
ITY; SAILS SOON

Miss L. Marguerite Godsey, who
for The past five months has served
as the private secretary of Attorney
Frank Clague, left Tuesday for Mimi
eapolis where she will visit for few
days before going to New York,
whence she will sail for France. She
has enlisted for the service and will
do clerical work for the American
Red Cross, her training and experience
having admirably suited her for this
work.
s From New York Miss Godsey will
go direct to Paris where the Bureau
Of Personnel will send her to the
point at which she is to work. She
has no further instructions than to
report at Paris. Her term Of enlist
ment is for at least one year, and she
was requested to bring a years sup

soap, especially the two later articles

The getting of a passport for a
trip like Miss Godsey's, particularly
for one entering the service, involves
considerable of that element which
the laity is prone to call "red tape"
Twenty-four small, u-lmounted pho
tos, taken in strict accordance with di-
rections must be furnished. four of
them for use on the passport and the
others for use in France. Each appli-
cant must also furnish a birth certi-
ficate and the examination as to 10y
atty and character is exceedingly
stringent, taking several weeks to
complete.
During the term of her service
Miss Godsey will wear a uniform, as
does every other member of the Red
Cross service. Her particular uni
form is of Oxford grey whipcord,
plainly made, trimmed with collar and
tie of tan, which indicates to just
which branch of the service she be-
longs. A small close-fitting hat of
the same material is worn, This also
having narrow band of the tan. The
insignia of this branch is a simply
marked u. S. on the shoulder, and
metal buttons bearing a raised cross.
The wearing of a uniform simplifies

must be worn at all times, the same

the members of the service, and Miss
Godsey will find it necessary to take
with her only two collapsible valises
and her suit case-rather lighter
baggage than is usually carried for q
year abroad, In cold weather, hea-

uniform. ---~E ss.s55 e.
Miss Godsey is we'll fitted, both
by training and experience, as well
as by natural ability for the work
ahead of her. She has had special
training in secretarial work, has
been successful il civil service work
and has proven herself very capable
and efficient in her work since TAX
ing her training. During the several
months she has been here she has
won the confidence ond esteem OF
her employer and all others with
whom she has had business relations
as well as making many warm friends
il social circles. She is the first wo
man to leave this vicinity for over
seas service and she carries with hel
the best wishes of all who know hel
and who are confident that she will
serve Loyalty and efficiently.

AvIATORs RAID GERMAN TOWN
American Observer With French Pilot
Drops Bombs on Mannseim.
Another Bombs Balloon.

New York.-The World prints a spe
cial from the American front in France
stating that for several days American
observers flying with the French pend
ing the arrival of American pilots on
the American front, have had some
thrilling experiences. One of the OBJ
servers participated in the recent
French raid on Mannheim on the
Rhine, which was the first time an
American has helped bomb German
city. tte .t.tf fatf,
Another flew among the German
trenches opposite our lines at height
Of few hundred feet, seeking chance
to spatter bullets on German infantry.
men. He was hindered by misty
weather, and the Germans kept out of
reach in their funkholes, so he got no
chance to shoot before enemy 'archies"
forced his French pilot to climb out Of
the way of the shrapnel.
One reckless youth tackled e Ger
man sausage balloon and actually oblig-
ed 1t to return to its nest on the ground,
although this is a job generally resery-
ed for the best scout machines. When
an American observer is aloft he is in
command Of the airplane and can d.
rect the pilot to go where he wishes.
Participating for the first time In q
night bombing raid. a young second
lieutenant of coast artillery temporar-
lily assigned to a French air squadron
as an observer, shot down an enemy
plane far behind the German lines
The destruction of the German craft,
which was one of the battle fleet sent
over TO prevent French bombers from
getting back home, was attested by
several pilots who witnessed the fight.
The lieutenant thus achieved the dis
tinction of being the first American
observer to bring down an aerial ad'
versary.

ONE AMERICAN Is KILLED AND
FIVE ARE WOUNDED IN THE
ENGAGEMENT.
GERMANS HAD LAID A TRAP
One Survivor Wounded In the Chest
Unable to Talk-Encounter Oc-
CURED in Isolated Spot and
Details Are Meager.

With the American Army In France.
One American artilleryman was killed
and five artillerymen were wounded
Saturday night by shell fire when an
American patrol was ambushed in No
Mans Land by superior force OF
Germans
The Americans sprinkled the enemy
trenches with shrapnel all during the
day. There was considerable patrol
activity, but no further clashes were
reported.
The spot where the encounter oc-
Cured is an isolated one and reports
concerning the casualties inflicted by
both sides are meager.
Only one American is known to
have escaped the trap of the Ger
mans, which was laid in front OF our
wires. One survivor, who crawled
back to the American lines with a
bullet in his chest. is unable to talk.
Our artillery Immediately laid a
barrage around the ambushing Ger
mans and some are believed to have
been accounted for. The infantry ac-
counted for others, as 1t is certain the
attacked patrol fought to finish, ac-
cording to information trickling in
from the front line.
Our patrolling soldiers were work
ing in front of our wire entangle-
ments when a big enemy patrol that
had been divided into parties which
took up concealed positions opened
fire at close range. The night was
clear and the forms of the Americans
NADIA the best possible targets for the
hidden Germans. There is no doubt
but that the Americans battled gal
lantly until completely overpowered.
The artillery duel in our SECTOR
continued. Scores of airplanes were
out observing and making photo
graphs. The men in the line were
thrilled by number of air duels high
in the sky over their heads. u
