THRILLING SCENE
AS PLANES FIGHT
Donald G. Kibbe Writes of German Re
covering Control After Tumbling
Some 5000 Feet.

The following is copy of a letter re-
ceived by Miss Charlena Bemis from
Donald c. Kibbe of Longmeadow, Mass,
now with the medical department of the
l04th regiment in France, dated In the
Trenches, March .. 1879:
You will have to excuse the writing
because | am perched on a log with
magazine for table. You noticed, no
doubt, that I have headed this letter
In the Trenches Well, it is true
Il cannot tell YOU what sector we are
holding, but we are IN the front line and
but few hundred yards from the Boche

1T is wonderful what things ! see

| L. $. \. I'll tell YOU all about them. |
! am going to tell YOU OF a few and trust
the censor will pass them.
The weather is beautiful now, Just
as warm and nice as summer. There IS
much action in the ain Only this morn
| ing | watched wonderful battle between
two Boche plane. and one French. The
| Frenchman went over the Boche lines
and in an instant the two planes were
after HIM He fired many rounds of
ammunition at both of them, but they
were too much for him, and after won
derful maneuvering he succeeded III get
ting back with US with few holes in the
wings Of his plane.
! Il think the most thrilling scene was
| YESTERDAY. A French and German were
| having fight III the air. The German evil
IDENTIFY lost control of his plane and it
came tumblng over and over towards
| the earth He must have fallen 5000
! feet and when not more than 800 feet
| from the ground he gained control of the
machine and went sailing at great rate
| back TO his own line.

engaged in battle. Last night they
passed over here and probably We're on
their way 10 lombard Paris. We could
not see, but the German plane has very
peculiar sound and is easily detected
while | was at my supper tonight
about ! O'Clock there were four big Ger
man shells fired al our kitchen. We laid
fiat on the ground very quickly When
they broke we could hear the shrapnel
fly, but no harm was done
1T is a wonderful war and also very
cruel.

American troops. Desultory fighting
continued for several hours.
The Germans again attacked at Il

the stories told by prisoners taken on
Wednesday, who said that the Ger
mans had been ordered to penetrate the
American third line at all costs.
The American troops, although tired
from nearly six days Of infantry activ-
ity. went into their positions singing
and expressing their pleasure at an OPP

Dear Mother:
Have Just received your letters dated

letter | have written fer several weeks,
as we were in the trenches and | could

J We live III dugouts deep in the ground.
! some OF them 10 or 10 feet below ground
and able to hold thousands Of men. When
we were in the trenches we had two
meals day and when not fighting all we
did was guard duty. Most of our fight
ing was barrage work for the infantry
All of our fighting is done at night.
We have had a few gas attacks, but
with our masks on there is not mucl
danger from them as everybody is very
careful. | never saw so many rats OF
such large ones as there are here.
When the artillery fires YOU can hear
the shell coming and have time to ducl
down so as to escape the shrapnel.
Acropiane fights are very common
here. and it is interesting to see an anti
, aircraft gun firing at an aeroplane. W
