SWIFT WATER "SLEDS"
TO SAVE FALLEN FLIERS

FORT WORTH, Tex, September 81.
A submarine chaser, tuned and
groomed, has been transported into
the heart Of Texas and put to work
not hunting down lurking German
U-boats but in >rescuing unfortunate
American aviators who fall into the
water.
This is a new venture for the sub
marine chaser, or the sea-sled, as it
is moro commonly called. Ordinarily
this craft, which attains a speed Of
sixty miles an hour under the lash
ing OF its powerful eight-cy1inder
motor, Is employed along the Atlantic
coast as a guard against the activi-
ties. of the undersea boats. They have
been successful in hunting down foes
and in guarding coasts. Sixty-one of
along the Atlantic coast and the
sixty-hrst on Lake Worth, in Fort
Worth.
Several months ago, when the fatal
falls among the aviation students
around this city grew alarming in
concluded that simplifying and adj
vanced training would be less deadly
over the waters of Lake Worth, than
over the dry land The, problem Of
how to rescue the aviator. should he
tumble, was solved by the sea-sled.
The cost of constructing the boat
and getting it to Forth Worth was
$17.012. It draws eighteen inches OF
water. Its length is twenty-four feet
and its width eight feet eight inches.
It has eighteen air pockets and the
walls are about eight inches thick.
The sled has V-shaped bottom.
Credit for suggesting this shape to
the manufacturers Is given to Capt.
S.; v. Schermerhorn, who was former
ly stationed at the Fort Worth air
fields.
A crew Of three men Is required to
operate the sled. which is kept in
readiness for action all the time Ike
q fre engine. Quarters have been
erected for the men on the lake shore.

WITH AMERICAN SHOCK TROOPS,
August 1s.-.For three days and two
nights I laid in no mans land and
played dead" said John J.. Fftzsim-
mons Of; New !: York city. s'Then I
craw1ed out"
'.why didn't you crawl out before %
| asked. -.
II had hell of chance" said Fitz-
| simmons.
Over in the next bed lay Lieut..
Henry K. Cassidy Of Wichita, Kan.
BY a chance he commanded a platoon
in which Fifzsimmons fought did
not ask how western man got so
far east. The two talked from bed to
bed for moment
| (which platoon did you go over
| with, Fitzsimmonsg" asked Cassidy.
:"rhe second" says Fftzsimmons.
| 'and in the second wave, But we got
| all mixed up together. AS fast as the
men in the first wave dropped we re-.
forward and took their places"
Tells of the Charge.
Cassidy told of the charge. 1t was
l -
machine guns. right across the open
to certain death. Many a time the
Americans have done impossibilities
and taken guns that by every rule
were untakable. This time the wave
stopped half way. Some Of them dug
in and some of them ran back to a
little cut-bank and waited to see what
might happen. They charged those
guns five times that afternoon. Finally
they got them.
why were they not smashed by
our artillery I asked.
Cassidy didn't know. The man in
the line rarely has the answer to
puzz1ing questions like that. He
heartily damned the German fiiers
who had swept up and down his line
of men that day, machine cunning
them as they lay waiting for the order
to go on.
'Why?" I began to ask. Then
stopped. What was the use? Cassidy
did not know the answer, and if he
had known it could not print it.
He had missed many of the happen
ings Of the, day, because, a little bit
of shell had scratched him up bit,
and his colonel had profanely evac-
uated him. Cassidy said he'd be back
in two weeks. He had a score to set
tie. His best friend-'the best man
that ever was"-was killed by his
side.
