FLYING WITH SHAFFER
PUTNAM'S FINE WORK
BOY TO HIS MOTHER

In his dirty work, for rolling along
the ground at this speed he hits the
hump, and zooie! up in the air he
oonnces. Having neither enough
| speed to hold him in the air. and
| therefore his controls having no eff
| rect he just naturally comes back
10 Mother Earth with a resounding
pump, and something naturally
gives; as the landing gear of an air
plane is not made to stand an "ele-
vator" landing.
Since the last letter nothing has
happened of note, although i've
been in the air twice, once fying

we saw no Huns however, which
was good thing for my guns were
not working. l tried them twice.
nut only got couple of cracks
out of one of them and the other
would not speak at all, trying them
both again neither would work, so
being no good up there with only a
good motor l came home.
Up Again
Last evening | went up again. but
after / had climbed over the clouds
at 5000 meters my motor began
knocking, vibrating and making
more peculiar noises than two lovers
watching the moon come up. | had
no desire to keep company with such
a motor and promptly came home
again, and say maybe l didn't make
some landing! Golly! / sure was
proud of it, because you know when
I wrote the last letter, two smashed
"Beckies" stood against me as result
of bad landings, and this time l sat
her down as lightly as leaf, so
easily did l touch the ground,
hardly knew l was there, and to
make me more pleased with myself
we stopped several feet from that
doggone hump. even crowed about
it at dinner and Putnam lost no
time in reminding me of the
busted 'Beckies," but even that did
not lower my optimism, for you
could surely tell how sad 1 felt in
the last letter.
Bad Humor
You know I'm flying a Spad now,
armed with two guns, lots of cart
ridges and about a million instru-
ments. l am getting used to hand
ling these numerous instruments now
though, and golly, but there is lot

most trouble of ALL because If the

is experienced, except when diving,
and then one must shut the shutters.

DR.. Nudge Gives Patriotic
Sermon on Bastile's Fall
and Its Effect on World

Not only was the fall of the Bas-
bloody days of the French Revolu-
ton significant as the commence.
ment of French civil liberty, but ii
was also significant for the COM
mencement Of French religious lib
erty. Declarations to this effect were
made by DR.. Lewis S. Nudge. pastor
of the Pine Street Presbyterian
Church in q special sermon on The
Fall of the Bastile" yesterday morn
ing.
The church was tastefully deco
rated yesterday morning Sor the
commemoration of the French In
dependence Day. The tricolor of
France predominated among the
decorations and the music, too, was
especially selected for the occasion.
Only compositions of French COM
posers were rendered at the service.
At its conclusion, after the benedic-
ton, at the request of DR.. Nudge,
the audience remained standing
while Frank A. CcCarrell played the
French national air, the "Marseil-
laise," as little token of the nigh
esteem in which the French are held
by Americans.
DR.. Nudge in his sermon, pictur-
ed quite graphically incidents lead
ing up to the fall of the Bastile and
the fall itself. He told of the ef-
forts made by the French ruling
classes to eXterminate the Hugenots,
but how they persisted, all the time
growing stronger, awaiting continu-
ally a chance to overthrow the auto
Gratis and establish a democracy.
The odious prosecutions visited
upon them by Louis XIV and his pre-
decessors, the many conspiracies of
the many French cliques against the
happiness of the lower and middle
classes all were related with vivid
ness.
The special significance of the fall
of the Bastile as regards civil, reli-
gious and political liberty for France
was mentioned. The fall of the Bas-
tile, with the freedom which il
brought, DR.. Nudge declared, paved
the way for religious freedom IN
America as we'll"

Debts Due Two Years

Whether the court has the jurisdic-
ton to order a private sale of real
estate for payment of debts of an
estate which have been due for more

sented the petition asking permis-
sion to sell five Steelton properties
in order to realize funds toward the
payment of debts totaling $4,000, but
which have been due for more than
year as there is no personal prop
erty which can be used to meet them.

pending further study of the prop
er course of procedure which will be
made by the attorney for the estate.

Escadrille Spad 3S,
Secteur Postal IL,
June z, 1918.


Dear Mother:
To-day we are really beginning to
feel summer here, despite the fact
that we live in a pine grove. In
deed, the hangers and barracks are
so well hidden by the surrounding
pines that l have difficulty in recog-
nizing it from the air. tits cam
outlaged so well. We are we'll estab-
lished in our new quarters now and
are getting accustomed to the new
landing ground.
! used to kick about the punk
"piste" we had at Melette. but it's
no comparison to this. It's plenty
long enough, but so doggone narrow
and one must needs steer a mighty
straight line to keep out of the
trees, hangers, bad ground and
planes lining its side. Only last night
while going off l nearly took the
wireless outfit with me, there being
a cross wind which drifted me side
ways before 1 had hardly cleared the
ground. AS it was, banked up on
one wing, 1 saw with relief the wires
pass a foot under me. Such things
as these, though, are everyday oc-
currence in the flying game, and are
forgotten nearly as soon as finished.
for since it's impossible to stop or
back up one must continually keep
mind and eyes ahead.
To make things worse on our mar
row Landing strip, right in the ex-
act middle OF the length of it runs
bump about foot high. Never
having landed a fast plane loaded
with two guns, cartridges and a
heavy motor, you will not see the
significance of that bump. Believe
me, it has every pilot worried on the
"piste," and he carefully calculates
his landing so that he will have
stopped before he hits it. Not that
it's dangerous for the pilot. On the
contrary, it isn't-not any more than
thousands of other little things, but
he is liable to smash his machine and
especially the Becky" No pilot
wants to do that, although 1t will
happen, as the saying goes, 'in the
best regulated families"
Where the Trouble Is
The sharp hump causes trouble
in this way; the pilot is coming
down to land, he gets near the
ground, levels out some few feet
above the ground and lets her ride
along until she (the -x(ng) loses
speed and starts to sink then he
slowly pulls the tail down so that
the tail skid (Becky) and wheels hit
at the same time.
He may hit the ground at VARYING
speed from seventy to ninety miles
an hour, all depending on the pilot,
so you can see after he is actually
on the ground he will roll a con-
siderable distance before stopping
and here is where the hump gets

 hold By Connecting Shell Holes.

With the American Army in France. After terrific artillery preparation large numbers of the enemy crossed No Mans Land on the extreme right of the American sector northwest of Toul Apparently the purpose of the raid was quickly accomplished and only a comparatively small number been given to mention the number of casualties.
 This raid, like most of the others carried out all the way from the sea to Switzerland, was designed to gath CT information by taking prisoners.
 East of Luneville our patrols have explored part of the German trench. which our artillery forced the enemy to abandon. Patrols proceeded later ally until they established contact with the Germans. Our reconnais- sance and wire patrols found snipers' posts, listening posts and nests from which machine guns had been firing on our lines. The artillery attended to all these posts. The German posi- tions have been so uncomfortable at several places that they now are try ing to regain a foothold by connecting shell holes. Our troops have been subjected to an extraordinarily heavy artillery fire for the last "A hours. More than 240 shells, which made cra- ters 20 feet deep and 30 feet in diam eter, fell in one etection of the line. In another section batteries have been shelled heavily. Moro gas shells have fallen in both the Foul and Luneville sectors. but the larger number in the former.
 The American troops in the sector east of Luneville, in conjunction with the French, are still holding the for mer enemy trenches northeast of Ba- denvillers, although the Germans have made another attempt to drive them ont with artillery shells, most of them heavy and some of item of the the i22-iReh ? type, have pounded the position intermittently, but the Amer jeans and their allies have held on.
