 United States.
TEXAS AVIATOR IN WARNING
Depreeiates Patronizing Air of Some Americans New to War-eoasts Offered Friends in France,
 Who Understand.

Austin, Tex.-Sergt. H. Clyde Balls icy is the first Texan to return from France as a hero of the flying service of the Lafayette Eseadrille. of which he is member. Young Balsley's home is in San Antonio, and he is a former student of the University Of Texas. He came to Austin few days Sgo upon invitation from his old-time friends in the university to relate his ? experiences. He is home on con- valescent leave, having just recovered from wounds received when attacked by flock of German airmen. He fell with his machine from a height of 12,OO0 feet to an altitude of 2,000 feet, when he managed to right his airplane and land safely behind the French lines. He spent three years in the flying service.
 Patriotism Must Be Aroused.
 "Wake up. Americal" should be the slogan of the people of the United States, Sergeant Balsley said while here. '.1t is so terribly necessary and right now-that the whole country be filled with patriotism. It must feel that on it. and 1t alone. rests the outcome of this war. Until that time do not believe America's best efforts can be put forth. For while no one, of cheerfulness or happiness away from our soldiers, still we who are at the front-the allies and the French feel that Americans are too cocksure too full of braggadocio. Confidence is all right, but man who does not measure the enemy's resistance and take into account that he is fighting to the death, may stand to lose vast odds just because of his shortsighted- ness."
 Balsley spoke of bombing Germany with American airplanes.
 ''Of course, 1t will take time. From the French viewpoint 1t will be 1919 before Americans can really go in In great forces, because she must get her planes built and transported, and 1t takes time, time, time. We really think that in 1918 America will only be able to take charge of some sec tions of the front. and that it will be two years before she can really make herself felt in the real struggle"
 Of German atrocities. Balsley would not speak.
 'I feel as though I never want to shake hands with one of them again. he declared. Tn the whole world there Is only one I regard highly. and he is in San Antonio; and because felt he was so different I have hunted him up. But only those who have actually known the meanness and cruelty of their methods over there can understand what q terrible thing their disregard of every principle ot right means"
 Balsley has many souvenirs of the war-several bayonets, cap taken from a German prisoner. some shells a German artillery belt, etc. In q worn bit of cloth he carries the shell which. bursting, shattered his thigh.
 '"The nurse gave 1t to me after the operation" he explained.
 In enlarging upon the American at titude as viewed from the foreign standpoint Balsley went into details
 'I speak of American braggadocio as l have seen it in France and in Paris and as have seen 1t from the French angle. So many of the boys
