Internal Machines Left

PARIS, Oct 18.--An act of German
cruelty committed 1000 feet above
certain battlefield was related today
at the great hospital at Neuilly, near
Paris, by an American ballon observer.
This American was descending in a
parachute when a German aviator de-
liberty 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.
Suddenly a 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 Are
scorching us as the bag fell.
IL didn't see the German aviator un-
til about a minute after my parachute
had opened. Then he drove past me,
firing not at me, but at the parachute
ropes. saw tracer bullets overhead
had cut two ropes. The parachute be-
gan to wobble and threatened to col
lapse.
1.-THE enemy fiier drew a circle, then
came back, despite the arches (high
angle guns), whose shells were men,
acing him.
II tried to use my revolver, hoping
could land one shot before plunging,
but / was hampered by the harness.
The coward deliberately grinned at
my first shot. Then he fired again at
the ropes. fell with sudden jar.
saw the third rope swiftly unraveling.
1t had been half cut. Just then a
shell burst near and drove the plane
away.
Imagine my sensation, swinging
helplessly in the air, watching the
breaking rope.
We'll, the parachute collapsed about
80 feet above a forest. Here / am,
and my only hope is to get back and
get a chance at that German aviator.
! remember his plane number-yes.

English officer was torn off yesterday

and an explosion followed which ripp-

placed in connection with the keys.

THE END OF THE WAR.

Glory! Glory!! Glory!! The past
week has been one of the most event
full in the worlds history. Germany,
the enemy of our country, has sur
rendered to our arms and those of the
Allies. Autocracy is broken. The
naughty Kaiser Wilhelm is an out
cast, fugitive from the fatherland
to which he and his kind have brought
unspeakable misery and woe. Emp
error Charles has abdicated. Other
kings, princes and dynasties are fall
ing. The socialists have taken charge
of the government of Germany and
have proclaimed a Republic. The end
of the great world war is in sight and
the results is the triumph Of democracy
and the rule of the people. Two and a
half million American boys in Europe
will not have to spend the winter in
trenches and face the terrors of no
mans land. They still have work to
do, but their folks may look forward
with reasonable certainty to their
safe return, crowned with the laurels
of victory.
