Guessing About His Brother.
The German communicate was hu
morous in the light of what we &C
tually saw. The French tried once
before to take the same territory,
and tried on large scale, but failed.
1t was a hard nut to crack, but was
cracked nevertheless.
We were absolutely familiar with
the territory over which our division
advanced, having worked over that
sector from the first. This famil-
1arity was a great help and was in
large measure responsible for the
Goth not losing a man. Two of our
teams were disabled by fire from the
ground, but managed to land just in
side our own lines. They had great
experiences on the ground before
getting back to the field. One team
was gone for forty-eight hours be-
fore they got to a place where they
could phone in after we had given
them up.
Ralston may have been in on the
big doings here, as 1 heard Of some
railway guns somewhere. Have had
no chance to look further into it,
but will sure do so as soon as pos
sible.

messages at both division and corps
headquarters about what l had seen.
A Dozen Holes In His Plane.
In the afternoon it was much the
same, except for the fact that our
lines were much, advanced. We shot
at German infantry on the road in
the afternoon. German machine
guns shot at us from the ground
quite a little and put five or six
holes in the plane, but neither Of US
was touched.
Yesterday the troops had advanced
as far as the Hindenburg line, and
the corps staff Immediately wanted
late pictures of that justly famous
blot on the map.
Lindstrom and I went after them
and got them. and they were fine
pictures, showing what they wanted
to see.
We got six holes in our plane that
time from archie fire, and had a
fight with a German scout plane,
which we will call a draw, as no one
was hurt. However, we got the pic
lures, and 1t was evident from the
violence Of the archie fire that the
Huns knew what we were up to and
did their best to stop us. There were
three planes OF US, with cameras IN
two of them and the other for pro-
lection. II that Boche plane had not
run, we would have downed him
sure.
American Avlators Appreciated.
Things have quieted down bit
now and the weather has cleared.
The American army did what it set
out to do in great shape, much to the
Joy of the French who were attached
to the various branches.
The French captain with us told
us we worked like veterans and did
the work in proper style.
Probably more flying was done In
bad weather from our field Thursday
and Friday than was ever done by a
similar number of ships anywhere
before. It was our first chance. and
we were not going to let the infan-
try and artillery say that the rain
kept the pampered aviators on the
ground. They are rather jealous of
Us in many ways and we were bound
to stay with them.
They appreciate American aviators |
more now than they ever did. In the |!

themselves. i

after il had occurred. He was con-
victed with John II. Wilson. who has
little to say about the robbery except
that he also is innocent.
The robbery Of the Citizens Nation
81 bank at GlenwOod Springs was one
of the bOldest in the criminal annals
Of Colorado. Two men hired horses
at livery stable in the town and rode
to the bank, tying the horses in an
alley. They entered, covered Vice Pres
ident Drach and Bookkeeper T. 81. Da-
Wis with revofvers and proceeded to
gather in $4,000 in cash.
At the trial Edwards was identified
as one of the robbers. He made a
personal plea in his own behalf de-
claring that the men who identified
him as a bank robber might be honest
in their statement, but. he said, Il am
not the man they take me for" 1t
took him eight years to prove this
assertion. Edwards and Wilson were
sentenced to from 20 to 80 years for
the crime.
