STORY OF DEATH OF
AMERICAN AVIATOR
David Putnam Brings Down
German Fokker Just-Before
He Was Killed.

With the American Army on tn

aces. brought down an enemy Fokke
in flames a few seconds before he wa,
killed during an air combat agains
great odds on the afternoon OF Sept
-. This fight brought his total Off.
cial victories to ten and his unofncia
triumphs to eighteen.
AS acting squadron commander the
young American ace was not supposed
to make flights. But whenever the
opportunity offered he always went uI
with the other pilots.
On the afternoon OF the 18th Lieut.
Putnam jumped at the chance to &c
up with Lieut.. Wendell A. Robertson
of Fort Smith, Ark, on patrol duty
along the American line.
The two Americans were gliding
along in their machines at s o'clock In
the afternoon in the vicinity of Limey
eight Fokkers that swooped down un-
expectedly from above.
The enemy planes split into two
groups. One group attacked Putnam
and the other attacked Robertson.
The thrilling battle was watched
eagerly by infantrymen. on the ground.
They saw Putnam maneuver skillfully.
and. despite the terrific odds, begin to
battle with the assailing Fokkers. He
sent one of them crashing to the earth
in flames. Then the infantrymen saw
Putnam's machine start gliding to the
earth. 1t was apparent that no one
was steering It.
Robertson disengaged himself from
the group of Fokkers which attacked
him and flew safely to the American
lines.
Putnam's machine swept over the
American lines and crashed to the road
east Of Limey. The young aces body
was extricated from the wreckage and
1t was found that he died from two
bullet wounds through the heart.
The Mexilla militaire conferred upon
Putnam several weeks ago arrived at

MANY KILLED BY SHELL
(By Henry G. Wales.)

! (by fienTy u. NdieS.)
With the American Army on thu
Lorraine Front, Sept. 1e.-N N. 81
American soldiers, who were captured
by the Germans at Seicheprey last
May, were kept at Thiaucourt and
forced to work between the village and
tie front line trenches for more thar
| two weeks, 1t Is learned from civilians
at Thiaucourt.
Several hundred French people who
remained at Thiaucourt during the
German occupation stated that the
town was used as a corps headquar-
ters. 1t was being used as such last
spring when the Germans made their
big raid on Seicheprey. AS the Amer
ican prisoners were brought In after
the raid the Germans lined them up
and subjected them to jeers and in
suits. Three of the Americans were
reported to have been killed by Amer
lean artillery fire to which they were
exposed by their captors.
Attempt to Gain Confidence.
The examination of these prisoners
lasted five days. During that period,
Germans speaking English and wear
ing American uniforms were placed In
the guardhouse with the Americans.
They pretended to be prisoners also
and vainly attempted to win the con-
fidence of the Americans. When the
Americans declared that they know
nothing, they were confronted by
stool pigeons who tried to work secrets
from them.
When American planes began their
day and night bombing raids on Con-
fans and Thiaucourt. American pris-
,oners were brought back and quartered
in the railway yards. which the Ger
mans knew were always the target of
the bombers.
Msnial Work Required.
The Germans made their captives
perform all kinds of menial duties,
such as hauling wagons without
horses. cleaning latrines and carrying
ammunition to the front line trenches
in direct violation of international
treaties.
Dozen Of Thiaucourt civilians were
punished for giving food surreptitiously
to the American prisoners and an aged
Frenchman was sent to prison for
talking to the Americans through a
guardhouse window.
Ragged Uniforms.
The uniforms Of the Americans were
ragged and their shoes were torn.
When they asked for garments, the
German officers told them to bring In
the corpses of German soldiers lying
between the first and second lines and
they could have the boots of the dead
men. One American who made a bolt
for the American lines was shot.
