FOE CUTS FLYERS
PARACHUTE ROPE
Wounded American Tells O
Cruelty 1000 Feet Above
Battlefield.
HUN BRUTE GaINS AT HIM
Yank Swings HeIpIessIy in Air Watch
ing the Rope the Parting of Which
Would Plunge Him
to Death.

! Partisan act of refined German
cruelty 1000 feet above certain bat.
tlefield was related to me at the great
hospital at Neuilly, near Paris, by an
American balloonist, whose name can
not be mentioned because he is not yet
listed as a casualty. This American
was descending in parachute when a
German aviator deliberately cut the
parachute ropes. Here is his story:
/ another lieutenant observer and
myself were up in a sausage we
were not worried, because the German
aviators had been very quiet lately.
Suddenly German pursuit plane
dropped out of the clouds overhead
in a straight nose dive toward our bal
loon, firing explosive bullets. We i'm
mediately took to our parachutes. The
blazing balloon collapsed and plunged
20 feet away from us, the fire scorch-
ing us as it fell.
Cuts Parachute Ropes.
II did not see the German aviator
until about minute after my para
chute had opened. Then he drove
past me, firing not at me but at the
parachute ropes. l saw tracer bullets
overhead had cut two r1pes. The
parachute began to wobble and threat
ened to collapse.
"The enemy flyer drew a circle, then
came back, despite the arches (high
angle guns) whose shells were menac-
ing me as well as him.
II tried to use my revolver, hoping
could land one bullet before plung-
ing, but I was hampered by the har-
ness. The coward deliberately grinned
at my first shot. Then he fired again
at the ropes. Il fell with a sudden jar.
I saw third rope swiftly unraveling;
it had been cut Just then a shell
burst near and drove the plane away.
"Got Foes Number"
Imagine my sensation, swinging
helplessly in the air, watching the rope
the parting Of which would plunge
me! Well, the parachute collapsed
about thirty feet above a forest. Here
am, and my only hope is to get back
and get chance at that German avi-
ator. / remember his plane number
yes, / got his number!"
