Dear Mother:-As the newspaper
would say, 'all is calm on this part
of the 'front.'" for it has been very
bad weather for the last week. Not
withstanding, we have been aloft
a number of times. Golly! 1t sure
was bumpy, and you can imagine
how much with a gale of wind GO
ing over so miles an hour, and the
sky is always filled with clouds,
sometimes a solid white and black
mass and other times with few
holes where the blue peeps through.
If possible. we always fly over the
clouds. fort it's very dangerous fly
ing under them, as one might be
surprised by a Hun. Thus, with
such a blanket covering nearly all
of the aviator's map, he must needs
use his compass or the sun, trusting
to luck TO see a familiar landmark
through a hole in the clouds every
now and then to keep the general
direction.
Personally. | prefer the sun, as it's
much more reliable than the COM
pass, as it is not affected by the diff
ferent drawing qualities of steel and
iron, with which my compass is sur
rounded on all Sides Besides, the
magnetic in the motor has consid-
erable effect also on its variations.
Just now ] am waiting for new
motor for my plane, meanwhile fly
ing with one of my comrades. who
is on permission. There being
brand new motor in his plane it runs
very sweetly-at least so I thought
until last night, when she spluttered
around like Q hen who has lost her
brood Fortunately, ! was right over
the "piste" at the time, so had no
difficulty in landing. What was my
disgust on landing to find it was
only water in the gas, small thing
in itself. but just enough to prevent
the motor from working.
Climbed Too Quickly
On top Of this. along comes the
commander OF the escadrille and
bawls me out properly for climbing
off the ground too steeply. Accord
ing to him I had stood straight upon
my tail, and he ordered me never
to do it again. suggesting as a pun
ishment for disobeying that I might
kill myself There being a strong
wind blowing at the time, I was
last off the ground and desirous OF
catching the rest of the patrol, I did
not realize how steeply I was climb
ing.
Having it called to my attention
by one so high in authority, I could
see the wisdom in his remarks and
promised not to do it again.
We Americans. are always being
called down TOR doing something
foolish, or busting ironclad flying
rules and its no wonder the name
"those crazy Americans" is univers-
ally applied to us by the Frenchmen.
At any rate. 7 would much rather be
called a fool than a coward for fools
get away with a lot of things.
Balloon Hunting
Yesterday one of the Frenchmen
wanted to go out hunting for bal
looms. and one man not being al
lowed up alone, I agreed gladly to
go along. The wind was blowing a
gale as usual, and the sky was filled
with clouds. After waiting some
time to have special bullets put in

the city man. "Whatever became of

the native. There was picnic out
here last August, and when night came
on they had nearly barrel Of pretzels
left, which they didn't want to cart
back home, so they threw them in the

How Naval Warfare Changed.

"The arrival Of the submarine as an
active factor in naval warfare" says
e. Ashmead-Bartlett In The Wide
World, "has entirely altered the pecu'
liar role which the different units COM
posing a fleet were supposed to play
when they were originally designed.
Battleships and great cruisers can no
longer command the sea by strength
of numbers and weight Of armament.
Even light cruisers, nOminally intend
ed for commerce-destroying protection
of trade routes and as scouts. are fire.
quently exposed to danger from SUBJ
marines. Nevertheless battleships and
and cruisers are still the final court OF
appeal between nations, and the most
responsible duty which now falls to
the light craft cruisers, destroyers and
torpedo boats is not attacking the en-
smy's ships, but In protecting their
own battle squadron against under-wa'
