With The American Army In
France, Thursday, May 2.-Lieut.
Jas. A. Meissner. whose home is in
Brooklyn, and who brought down his
first German airplane today on the
American front northwest of Toul,
returned to his hangar to receive the
congratulations OF his comrades and
TO make his report with a bashful
grin on his face. The lieutenant is
young and slight and "tickled to
death that he has one enemy scalp
hanging to his belt.
The story of his exploit having
trickled in over the telephone wire,
the correspondent went to the lieu
tenants hangar. It had been report
ed that a wing OF Meissner's ma
chine had been torn off by his OPP
ponent's airplane.
Impossible" said one of the mem
bers OF Meissner's squadron before
the young aviator had returned TO his
billet. IF the Boche really had
scraped Jimmy with his wing we
would have had to call on the Red
Cross TO make inquiries through
Switzerland as to what had happen
ed to him."
Just at that time Lieutenant Meis-
sner himself jumped out of an auto
mobile and walked toward the group
gathered about the hangar.
We'll! Well! There's Jimmy now"
cried his companions, as they all ran
out to meet him. ALI tried to grasp
his hand at the same time and shake
it, while many questions were hurl-
ed at the young aviator. The lieu
tenant blushed and looked around
as If at loss how to begin. Then he
briefly told an American story in
an American way just as If bringing
down a German was an every day
trick. s

above him. I went down after him,
firing all the time.
Then he Strengthened out and
turning his wing point quickly, ram

again. Smoke came from the Ger
man machine which headed for the
interior of Germany and we both
were soon over his territory.

sort of camouflage for a getaway, for

of tricks so kept right on his tail.

Their plan. therefore, is TO have
big peace offensive lie they cannot
knock out tho Allies. This peace Of
fensiyeN will likely be made very
largely against Great Britain. That
Is to say they win put forward Of
fers which are likely In their estt-
nation, to be attractive TO this coun-
try.
In comparison with the great OUT
burst OF pan Germanism engineered
by the government just before this
offensive, with it's very. high claims,
the next offer probably will be more
moderate, but compared with JUS
tice, anything but moderate.
'"They can then turn to their peo-
pie and speak of German modera-
ton, but their offers will not ap-
preach anything we can look at"

allies can look at.
In this opinion made In q state
ment to the Associated Press, Lord
Robert expressed the further belief
that the new peace offensive would
be largely for German consumption,
because the rulers of Germany
know If they have to rely on their
own resources they cannot hold out
much longer"
Il do not believe in the grandiose
plans Of the Germans" said Lord
Robert but clearly they will play
for peace unless they can achieve
a victory by knockout blow. They
want to prolong the war until they
can get possession OF Russia's re-
sources
IF they fail in the west there will
be a very bad time in Germany and
Austria. We cannot tell how bad.
Therefore it will be their aim to lead
their people to believe that they need
hold out a few weeks until harvest
and that then they will receive food
