Sending Pullman Man to His
Death from Height of 10000

Dear Mr.. Livingston:
am writing you in order that you
may be familiar with the details of
the distressing accident which befell
your son, Ivan.
He was returning to camp upon his
last flight before completing his Bre-
vet, when, at a height of $4,000 feet,
the connecting rod of the motor
broke, breaking through the crank
case, and in turn throwing a part Of
the crank case against the propeller.
which of course demolished one of
blades. The terrific vibration which
followed so unbalanced the motor
that it was shaken entirely free from
the plane. Your son was thrown
from the nGcelle Immediately follow
ing the motor, the plane itself being
the last thing to strike the ground.
1t is not believed that your son was
living when he struck the ground,
and when picked up he was scarcely
bruised, save for a slight cut on the
chin.
The accident itself can not be at
tributed to negligence on anyone's
part and is the first time an accident
of this type has happened in the his
tory of this camp.
He was buried, with full military
honors, in a vault in the Foggia
cemetery and his effects sent to the
effects depot in France from whence
they will be sent to you.
Your son was courageous flyer
and a soldier. and his devotion to
duty at all times was marked. l can
assure you that he was a credit to
the service and a great loss to his
country. Allow me to extend to you
the sympathy of his organization and
his commanding officer l am
Very sincerely yours,

SOLDIERS BUY new
FLAG FOR COLLEGE
Tattered COlOrs Attract Attention of
Men at State College and Hat
Is Passed

A beautiful new American flag
now graces the staff surrounding E.
A. Bryan hall on the college campus
the colors being the gift of the 800
soldiers who Monday entered upon a
two-months intensive training course
in mechanical pursuits. The new
colors have replaced the tattered,
weather beaten flag which has done
excellent service for several months,
but whose shabbiness failed to meet
the approval of the embryo soldier
mechanics. During a song service
conducted in front of Bryan Hall
Sunday evening one of the soldiers
observed the weather worn flag, and
asked permission to make a
speech" His words were these:
THAT flag is a disgrace. Let's
chip in. and buy a real one"
The hat was passed among the sol
diers and the nickles, dimes and
quarters aggregated 500, which was
expended for a flag that will meet
the hearty approval of the new but
extremely patriotic soldiers who are
quartered at the State College.
The beautiful flag was officially
presented to the college Wednesday
evening, the remarks incident to the
presentation being made by Second
Lieutenant Fred L. Packard, !. r. c.,
while the colors were accepted on be-
half of the institution by Dean II. V.
Carpenter, Of the college of mechan-
ical engineering, who is in charge Of
the courses offered for the soldiers.
