English Boy Defeats Germany's
SuperfIyer VoSs in DeS-
perate Battle.
DOWNS y BEFORE DEATH
Lieutenant Arthur Rhys Davids Said
to Be One of the Three Elect
Among Bravest of British
Airmen.

London.-Whcn Voss, the intrepid
German airman, was brought down
there was considerable demand that
the name of the British airman who
accomplished the feat should be re-
venled. He was Lieut.. Arthur Rhys
Davids, an Elton boy of twenty. In
the official Gazette 1t is stated that
among his other feats he brought
down nine enemy aircraft in nine
weeks.
But after much anxiety the boys
father, Prof. Rhys Davids, and his
mother, both Oriental scholars of dis
tinction, no longer have any doubt
that their son, missing since last De
cember, is dead.
In their home on Chlpstead Downs
the parents and sisters mourn the
brave and daring boy, said to be one
of three We y elect among the bravest
of British airmen.
Arthur Rhys Davids, after doing
brilliantly at Summerfeld, where,
kings scholar, he won Balliol exhi-
bition and the Newcastle scholarship,
took his commission in the Royal Fly
ing corps in the autumn of 1916, leav-
ing his civil service ambitions until
after the war.
Brought Down Twenty-Five Germans.
Young Davids had been good ut
! sports and he took to flying as though
born to 1t. He won the M. @. with the
bar and the d. S. o. after five months
in France in April, 1917. He brought
down % Germans for certain-he
actually saw that number crash-but
he drove down many more out Of con-
troll. Among the % were the German
superflyers Voss and Schafer.
The story of the defeat Of Voss,
who had been credited with being the
greatest airman of all the armies, Is
thrilling. When Rhys Davids went up
with a squadron of six and four Ger
mans were sighted, 1t was not so easy
as 1t seemed, for Voss was among
them, and he took on three Of the
British machines. Two of these he
put out of action, causing them to re,

turn home with their engines full Of
lead. The third was the boy from
Elton.
Voss and Rhys made duel of 1t.
The Hun was in triplane, and there
was most tremendous fight. The
story Of 1t was afterward told to the
family by an officer acquainted with
the facts.
II want to give Voss all credit"
snys Miss Rhys Davids, sister of the
brave young airmnn, In repeating the
story. "He had a fearful fight with
the three for twenty minutes, and
then my brother and Voss wheeled
round and round; and then, suddenly,
Voss crashed to earth.
Yes, my brother spoke Of one or
two narrow escapes. On the very first
time he went up out there something
made him turn round, and to his as
constituent he saw Hun on his tail.
If he had not glanced round at that
moment he would have been killed.
Worse still, his gun damned, and for
ten minutes he had to get out of this
machines way by rolling and turn
Ing. Then suddenly, to his amaze
ment, the Hun turned tail and went
home. That was one Of the narrowest
escapes he had.
"My brother was inclined to fly
recklessly low, and that is probably
how he met his death In October, last
! year. We knew he was missing, and
we hoped and hoped for eight weeks
before we had any practical certainty.
Shot "Palnted Banana"
"He had very often been in a big
fight Of 25 on each side, and when he
wrote home about such, he said: All
you can think Of Is pumping lead into
any machine you see and looking out
and avoiding collisions, Just missing
each other by perhaps a couple Of
feet. He used to laugh when he saw
the German machines painted up like
an unripe banana. He described one
of these machines, and said that when
1t came toward him he chuckled with
laughter at the curious appearance of
it, and then let fly. He brought the
painted banana down."
And now young Rhys Davids has
himself been brought down. But he
lives a memory Of schoolboy British
pluck that can never die.
Among other raiders mentioned in
the Gazette is Lieut.. r. Fl. Ayre, r. E.
c., who during one of his 'many sue
cessful raids" bombed an enemy air
ship shed. and on another occasion
bombed railway station from q
height Of 500 feet. He also deraile,l
part of train and poured machine
gun fire on its occupants. The mill
tary cross is awarded to him.

The eyes OF the old lady glowed I'M

yet expressed.
"a French general came and thank
ed me for what did for our soldiers"
she said. "Then, long after, he wrote
me letter saying was brave wom-

A BUSINESS OhOuld pc
as Big as Its Job
If bigness is Of benefit to the
public it should be commended.
The size of business depends upon the
needs which that business Is called upon to
serve. A business should be az big as its
job. You do not drive tacks with pile
driver-or piles with tack hammer.
Swift & Company's growth has been
the natural and inevitable result of ma
tional and international needs.
Large-scaIe production and distribution
are necessary to convert the live stock of
the West into meat and by-products, and
to distribute them over long. distances TO
the consuming centers Of the East and
abroad.
Only an organization like that Of Swift &
Company with its many packing plants, hum
dreds of distributing houses, and thousands
of refrigerator cars, would have been able to
handle the varying seasonal supplies of live
stock and meet the present war emergency
ny supplying WltARoot AAAeSAhe HeAehs
First-The u. S. soldiers and the Allies
in Europe by shipping az much as 800 car
loads of meat products in single week.
Second-The environments In the United
States.
7hird-The retailers upon whom the
American public depends for its daily
supply of meat.
But many people ask-Do producers and
consumers pay too much for the complex
service rendered.
Everyone, we believe, comedies the eff
cheney of the Swift & Company organization
in performing big job In big way at
minimum Of expense.
Swift & Company's total profit In 1917 was
less than cents on each dollar of sales of
meat and by-products. Elimination of this
profit would have had practically no effect on
live stock and meat prices.
Do you believe that this service can be
rendered for less by any other conceivable
method of organization or operation

We know they are going through
