TWO STORIES OF HEROIC
WORK OF FRENCH FL YERS

French Aviation Squadron C-65 had
had taken the air piloted by mere
corporal and a machinegun operator
Their task was to observe the fire of
a battery and regulate each shot of
the latter by wireless messages from
their biplane.
Hardly had they begun their task
when they were attacked by a Fokker.
The one order which observation
airplanes must observe regardless of
cost is that no matter what happens
they must remain at their post of duty
in the air and keep up the service
they are performing as long as either
the pilot or the observer remains
alive.
The two men defended themselves
in their heavy bipane against the
speedy Fokker the best they could
In the heat of the fight the bullets
from the Germans machine COM
pletely served the left foot Of the cor
poral plotting the French machine.
Mastering the pain, he snatched up
the copper ring of SoiXante-quinze
shell which happened to be within
reach and twisted it about the stump
OF his leg until he had stopped the
flow of blood.
A moment later finding that his
shot-away foot had fallen into tho
steering machinism of the plane, he
reached over, picked it up, and tossed
It over his shoulder to his machine
gun operator back of him said:
Here, keep this for me; its in the
way here"
For twenty-five minutes he kept
flying at his post of observation,
carrying out the one unbreakable or
der for observation pilots, and then
when his half hour of service was up,
flew back to his artillery commander
and alighted fainting.
French aviation etiquette prevents
the giving of this corporals name but
his feat is matter of official authen>
ticated record with Squadron C-65.

Washington, March s, 1918.
Owing to the difficulties experience
ed in delivering mail when care
lessly addressed, postmasters are re-
quested to notify senders of mail to
soldiers, sailors, and marines of the
American Expeditionary Forces abroad
that care should be taken to write
given names in full preceding of fol-
lowing the name of the addressee,
with the necessary title, such as pri-
vate, sergeant, lieutenant, etc. The
need for the full given name of the
addressee is apparent when it is eX
planned that the War Department has
a card-index file that may be consult
ed relative to unbelievable mail for
the troops reference to which file
furnishes no information when letter
is addressed -. F. Smith" for instance
and it can not be determined whether
it is for James f. Smith, John F.
Smith, or Jereman F. Smith. In addi-
tion to the given name of the ad-
dressee, and his title, there should also
be added the full name of the unit or
organization to which the addresses is
assigned. it being sufficient in the way
of further address to add the words
II
Should Not Use Lear Pencil.
1t is particularly enjoined that let
ters post cards, and packages be not
addressed with lead pencil. and that
every piece of mail matter bear the
name and address of the sender. so
that in case of nOndelivery letters may
be promptly returned to the senders.
The long transit taken by the mail
before it reaches the delivery points
abroad calls for the use of envelopes
that are substantially made, as ex-
perience has shown that well-made en-
velopes of poor material the writing
becomes indistinct, rendering uncer-
tain the correct reading of the name
or some part of the address.
Care in Wrapping.
Reports continue to be received to
indicate that packages reach the
