AMERICAN AIR FORCE BATTLE
WITH HUNS.--O man MISSING
Captain Hall Last Seen Making Spiral Dve-Attempt Wipe
Out the American Flying Force Fails

With the American Army in France
Tuesday, May 7.-"Jimmy" Hall is
gone, and the whole American air
service is mourning his loss. All
are wondering whether he was killed
or was able to bring his machine
safely to earth after his battle in
the air over Pagny-sur-Mosclle.
Captain Hall was popular through
out the army and had won admira-
tion by his daring, GOODNESS and skill
in handling his machine.
The captains flying companions
are all certain he would have knock
ed out his opponent had it not been
for maneuver unheard of SO far
as American and French pilots in
this section of France are concerned.
1t has been considered dangerous to
the last degree to bring up ma
chine sharply from . a downward
plunge because the strain is almost
certain to cause the collapse of
some vital part. The German avi-
ator whom Captain Hall was pur-
suing, being hard pressed, adopted
this desperate expedient TO escape
death and won.
The captains companions waited
for several hours after the fight for
him to return before giving him up
for lost. They felt certain unless
some serious accident had occurred
he would return, Notwithstanding
the fact that. he was seen to plunge
toward the earth. The aviators all
have the greatest confidence in him
and express the conviction that il
he landed safely and was captured
he will escape eventually.
After a thrilling battle with enemy
airplanes ten miles north of Pont
a-Mousson, Captain Hall made {
spiral dive for the earth and was
last seen close to the ground ap
parently trying to land. His fate is
! unknown.
Meet Four Germans
Captain Hall, with two others, wa;
patrolling between St. Mihiel ant
Pont-a-Mousson. When they were
over Pagny -Moselle, four enemy
Albatross airplanes, painted with
black and white stripes were seen

A banquet was held this noon at

for Camp Logan with the draft boys.
Table was set for ten. After the
banquet military shaving set was;

Robert has also been a member of
the local Home Guards here since
that organization was started and we
feel sure that the instruction he re-
ceived with the local company viii! be
of great help to him on reaching
camp and hope it will land him COM

friends wish him good luck and god

MY FIRST TRIP TO THE FRONT

I can't say that l worked extra
hard in order to be among the lucky
ones who were allowed to 60, but I
did do my best to make my comrades
think I was, so when I was told by
friend who has friend that had talk
ed with a man who worked in the Col.
Hdq. who said he had seen my name
on the list, l was not at all excited
nor did it faze we when two days
later I heard from an equally reliable
source that it was not on the list, but
l was somewhat startled when my
name was read off of list at 900 p.
NJ. stating that I, with others, would
leave at 500 A. M. the following
morning. My boots were in the re-
pair shop, my extra pair of pants in
the Tailor shop, and my laundry had
not returned, but these minor details
were quickly overcome, as my BROTH
er who is an officer in the same Com
pany unfortunately wears the same
size clothes so when five bells rolled
around, there was I waiting at the
station with a piece Of paper in my
hand reading: "You will report to
the Comd'g. Gen.----Div.----
Army at---for two weeks Duty
Duty it seemed to me was the wrong
word or I had misunderstood the
thing all along. I supposed it was
just for observation to finish my
training but it read "Duty" and rath-
er than make anyone feel badly over
simple mistake, I let it go.
Now then a train is scheduled to
leave station in the U. S. at 500
A. NJ, barring accidents, etc, it gen
orally leaves somewhere near that
time but in France the scheduled time
for leaving has absolutely nothing to
do with the time it really leaves, so

TO THE AMERICAN ExPED1rIONARY FORCES
Men of America steading to war;
Through death haunted waters to peris afar,
Sons of q land trod by king
From hearts that swelling, your valor we sing
Fruit of a race that had dared the unknown,
Their courage as we'll their blood still your own
Reapers of harvests their sturdy hands sowed,
You now are repaying the debt we have owed
Reared upon freedoms expansive domains,
Bv height of their mountains and reach of their plains
Fashioned for greatness of soul and of deed
In fearless young manhood you meet the worlds need
All that the Old World bestowed through your sires
And all that the New by its vigor inspires,
Led by the spirit the Saxon gave birth,
You pledge for democracys spread round. the earth.
Men of high source to great purpose decreed!
On mission heroic bid you God speed
Loving you, trusting you, bravest and best
We send you forth proudly at honor's behest.
