blame which had been forced to land
on the surface Of the North sea after
m encounter with group Of German
nirplanes, received mention in Brit

"In one case a stray bullet shot

chine was forced to alight. The crew
were subsequently, rescued by another
British seaplane which had been sent
to search for them"
y. The rescuing machine was manned
by Ensigns Benjamin Lee and J. J.
Echieffelin of the American naval avi-
alton service. Ensign Lee gave the
Associated Press the following account
Of the flight:
Q "'Our commanding officer and two
men left the station ut 3: 80 in the
morning on flight toward the Dutch
coast. Shortly after sunrise they saw
on the horizon five spots which rapid
" assumed the outlines Of German
sehplanes.
Five to one is hardly a fight, so the
commanding officer, after a first diving
charge through the enemy's formation,
showed down the nose OF his plane and
,'headed homeward: His two men fired
sharply from the after guns, forcing
the German scouts to keep their dis
tance.. They we're getting away all
right, even leading the enemy into
dangerous territory, when suddenly
chance shot from one Of the Germans
took away control and the flying |
boat crashed nose down. The three
men fought clear Of the wreckage and
got hold of a fioatidg spar, while the
Germans, realizing that they were in
dangerous country, ;sco0ted away
homeward. 49,, ..-..- .<t:'
I 1T was four hours later, when the
patrol was long overdue, that we were
sent out to search, for them. We
searched the horizon as we speeded /
along eastward, covering, at the visi-
bility, band about twenty miles wide.
Finally one Of US picked up a. black
speck, which soen grew into piece
Of wreckage with three men on it,

tance, we throttled down our motors
and landed rear the crashed seaplane.
It was delicate operation, but we
managed to taxi over tosthe wreckage
and pick off the four men, meanwhile

Queens Folks Discuss With

Subway Extension.

Public Service Commissioner Whit
ney told the Transit Committee of
the Queens Chamber of Commerce last
week that no decision had been reached
as to how greensboro subway trains
would reach Times Square, which is
the terminal Queens folks have been
lighting for for some time. The
terminal Of the greensboro subway
now is at Lexington avenue. eighty
feet below the level of the street and

ough's East Side route. The original
plans. which were to bring the
Queens subway trains TO the level
Of the old subway tracks in Forty
second street at Il point east or west
Of Fifth avenue. has been abandoned
for the plan of carrying the Queens
tracks directly across Forty-second
street on a level to a station directly
under the marlborough and Brooklyn
Rapid Transit stations at Times
Square.

ter plan meant no greater expense
than the original one. Construction
would be equally as quick also. The
Board of Estimate has been asked
to issue corporate stock for the con-
struction of the extension. Mr..
Whitney said. Many suggestions
were offered for connecting the sub
way lines at Broadway and Forty
second street with the transit system
Of Queens.
In reference to the operation Of the
Broadway Fifty ninth street line by
the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company
through the new tunnel under the
East River at SiXtleth street to the
Bridge Plaza, Long Island City, and
over the extensions to Astoria and
Corona, Commissioner Whitney said
that it would undoubtedly be the fall
OF 1919 before this line could be
operated As the Brooklyn Rapid
Transit trains are 10 feet wide, while
the marlborough trains are only
feet wide, 1t will necessitate either
changes In the platforms or the sta
tons on the two extensions in Queens
or else relocation OF the tracks.
The question has arisen as TO what
the method of opera ton shall he when
the Brooklyn Rapid Transit trains az
well as the Second avenue elevated
and the greensboro subway all operate
over the two extensions to Astoria
and Corona.
Commissioner Whitney stated that
in submitting TO the Board OF EstI-
mate the request for corporate stock
for the uncompleted portions OF the
dual subway system n request had
been made for 100000 for the ex-
tension OF the Corona elevated line
10 Main street, Flushing. He pointed
out that it would be impossible at this
time to secure favorable action upon
the offer of the Long Island Railroad
to lease its tracks for this purpose,
as the railroad is now under the juris-
dictlon OF the United States Railroad
Administered on.
