 There still has been no resumption of the battle on the fTont in Flanders and Picardy where the British are facing the Germans.

THE MOST TIMID
 OF FOUR CHILDREN
Thus Does Alabama Father Describe Son Who Is an American Ace in Lafayette Escadrille.

l. MOBILE, Ala, June 5.-Lieutenant D. Frank Baer, member of the Lafayette Escradrille who has just won denig nation as an American lace" by off cial recognition that he has brought down five German airplanes, is de scribed by his father as "the most timid of our four children" But fight. ing has been Pauls game for some time, the parent continued.
 How Lieutenant Baer achieved his ambition was described by the Lieu tenant in a recent letter to his father A. E. Baer, an engineer of the Louis vile & Nashville railroad.
 Lieutenant Baer told his father in his letter dated March 13, that he had had five combats in the previous ten days. Three bullets hit his machine but he shot down two Germans "and perhaps another one not yet confirm ed" he said.
 Previous to winning this lace" Lieu tenant Baer had been decorated with the Distinguished Service Cross for shooting down Hun aviator in bat tie against great odds. At the time he was attacked by seven German fiji, CTS. Describing that fight Lieutenant Baer wrote:
 Well, Dad, at last I got my first official German airplane. Day before yesterday (March II, p. m.) I. unac- ccmpanied, was flying inside the Ger man lines. As time drew near for me to come home, as I had been out my full time, and while almost at our lines, the French sent up a signal to me which told me in what sector the Boche were. I turned around and was greeted by seven German planes. Part of the enemy machines were above me and part of them below.
 Well. only had enough gasoline for ten minutes more flight, and l was six or eight kilometers inside their lines.
 'T pointed my machine at the clos est one to me. and as l got right on him. I opened with my machine gun and down he went The rest of them came at me and at the same time l sure did some scientific retreating. Well, the Hun I killed is official; that is, I got credit for killing him. He fell about seven kilometers in his own lines, but the French saw him hit the ground.
 "The next morning, March 12. at 9:25. speared another Hun. It was in just about the same place as the first one I killed. He was about ten or eleven kilometers within his lines when he fell. I saw him crash into the ground. He was one of a patrol of five Roche. Again had to do some scientific retreating.' I had all of them on my tail. Their bullets were flying all around me. However, l got home. The scond one is not yet of ficial.' I do not know if it will be of ficially recorded, but I hope so.
 q really have four Germans that l have bagged in the air. but credit for only one so far. I have had five com bats in the last five days. with three bullets in my machine. But I shot down two Germans and perhaps an- other one not yet confirmed"
 Lieutenant Baer has two brothers in the service of their country. Arthur Baer is a quartermaster aboard the cruiser Charleston and l. w. (Bud) Baer is in the Gun Sighting Depart ment, Navy Yard, Washington. A. w. Baer served two years on one of Un- cle Sam's submarines.

 While he is a professional man in New York city his gifts are so popu- lar and so well recognized that prac- tically every moment of his available time is being demanded by the gov ernment to appear before the soldiers tn the various cantonments where he is exceedingly popular.

ELMER OLIPHANT
 WILL BE MARRIED

New York, Jan. 17-Elmer Oliphant has been downed at last, and credit for the knockout goes to Kid Cupid. Oliphant announced the other day that he had become engaged to Miss Barbara Benedict of this city and that he expected to be married in the West Point Chapel immediately after his graduation on August 29.
 Oliphant now is playing hockey at the Point and will play baseball in the spring. That will wind up one of the greatest athletic careers in the brilliant athletic history of the Mill tary Academy. It had been expected that West Point again would have "Ollie" on the eleven next fall, but the decision to graduate his class ahead of time will prevent his playing any more football. In "OTlie's" place the army will be led by Gene Vidal who was off the eleven last season or account of his having been mixed up in hazing case.
