SPELL SAYS FLYING
is SAFER THAN RIDING WITH
ROY RITNER OR r. ALEXANDER

Lieutenant Marshall Spell who left
here with Troop d and who has since
been shifted around in various de-
partments. has been doing some high
flying in France and he describes his
feelings on the subject somewhat as
follows tThe first flight was sure
some sensation. but now that am ac-
customed to It 1 would a whole lot
rather ride in the air than with Roy
Ritner> or Roy Alexander in an auto"
He got his experiences In the air
while with the aero observation
school and, in letter received this
morning by Carl Cooley, states that
altogether he had been in the air
about ~ hours. had risen as high as
10000 feet and several times nearly
froze to death. Taken all in all, how
ever. he says he prefers to be on terra
firma and got transferred TO the am
munition train which isn't exactly
safe work even IL operations are done
at nighttime.
THE Huns have been giving us he'll
this week but It has been costing
them something" he writes. AS for
his trip over, he refers Mr.. Cooley to
Irwin Cobb's recent article in the Sat
urday Evening Post. stating he was on
the same boat as Cobb Cobb wrote
about the sinking of the Tuscania and
the article in question tells of a tor
pedo striking the boat he was on
glancing blow.
Lieutenant Spell is in the same
camp as Lieutenant James II. Sturgis
and Corporal James r. Bowler of
