AMERICAN AVIATORS
SAVE BRITISH CREW
Exciting Battle With Enemy
Planes OH Dutch Coast

An American Aviation Base, Some
where in England, June so, GORE
spondence of the Associated Press
The feat of two American aviators in
rescuing the crew of a British sea-
plane which had been forced to land
on the surface OF the North sea aftef
an encounter with a group of German
airplanes, received merton this week
in British communique. The off,
cial statement, however, said only:
I'm one case a stray bullet shot
away q control, and the British ma
chine was forced to alight. The crew
were subsequently rescued by another
British seaplane, which had been sent
to search for them" ne
The rescuing machine was manned
by Ensigns Benjamin Lee and J. j.
Schieffelin, of the American Naval
Aviation Service. Ensign Lee gave the
Associated Press the following &C
count of the flight:
"Our commanding officer and two
men left the station at $50 in the
morning on a fight toward the Dutch
coast. Shortly after sunrise they saw
on the horizon, five spots which rap
seaplanes.
Five to one is hardly a fight, so
the commanding officer, after q first
diving charge through the enemys
formation, showed down the nose of
his plane and headed homeward. His
two men fired sharply from the after
guns forcing the German scouts to
keep their distance. They were get
ting away all right, even leading the
enemy into dangerous territory, when
suddenly a chance shot from one of
the Germas took away a control and
the flying boat crashs nose down. The
three men fought clear of the wreck
age and got hold of floating spar,
while the Germans realizing that they
were in dangerous country, scooted
away homeward.
"It was four hours later, when the
patrol was long overdue, that we were
sent out to search for them. We
searched the horizon as we speeded
along eastward, covering, at the visi-
bility, band about twenty miles
wide. Finally one of us picked up a
black speck, which soon grew into
piece of wreckage with three men on
it.
dropping our bombs at safe dis
lance, we throttled down our motors
and landed near the crashed sea-
plane. Tt was a delicate operation,
but we managed to taxi over to the
wreckage and pick off the four men,
meanwhile sending back the good
news by wireless.
The only comment the COMMAND
ing officer had to make on his expert
ence was: whats a ducking? Just a
hit of eNDerienCCi'

that day months ago when Secretary
of War Baker dipped his hand into
a big glass bowl in Washington and

Mr.. Bakers action meant that every

be the first in his district to be
marshalled into Uncle Sans then un-
tried National Army.
Private Vilotto kept his word, for
the war department notified his
father, Joseph Vilotto Of rs Mozart
street, East Rutherford, n. j., yes
terday that his son had died Of
wounds received in action, and SO
far as any of the draft officials could
recall young Vilotto's is the first
death in action of any of the men
who received the honor Of being the
