las. The landing Of N airship is an
event in these towns and the aviator
who lands is feted and made much of.
The instructors discourage these trips
by penalties but when q flyer Is hav-
ing his o country training,
forced" landings are inevitable and
the towns which have the best repu-
tation for hospitality get numerous
visitors.
Now the trafac squad will patrol
the air, the boundaries Of the training
field except for those engaged at
stunts or cross country flying, will be
we'll marked, andsa reprimand will be
due for flyers who pass out of bounds.
Reports both from Love field and
Call field at. Wichita Falls are that
both these camps r to- be made

will be gent to them direct from the
ground schools, bat only after they
have been put through, its. fundas:
mentals OF flying and had a certain
number Of hours in the air in some
OF the other schools. Then they will
come to Love and Call fields and re-
ceive their training in stunts and in
war duties. These include acrobatic
work, extensive formation flying of
the dificult military type, and cross
country flying with advanced instruc-
ton in wireless, aerial gunnery and

HOSPITAL AlR
ship IS ADDED
TO- CAMP FLEET
Machine Carries Doctor and
Nurses to Scene of Acct
dent in Texas.

Dallas, Tex. June ia hospital
airplane is the latest innovation at
the Love. field aviation school. It IL
an emergency airship manned by a
skilled pilot. with a physician in the
observers seat and it is kept ready
during all hours Of flying practice to
enable medical help to reach a fallen
aviator.
The hospital ship" is always ready
for instant use. That there may be
no delay, the emergency machine is
"cranked up" every twenty minutes
SO that engine may be kept warm
and ready to produce its best speed rs
soon as needed. The pilot and the
physician stay close at hand.
Observers with field glasses keep a
watchful eye upon the men in the air
and the instant a flyer starts falling,
information is t~elegraphed simultane-
ously to the ambulance, the fire
wagon and the hospital Ship"
Oftentimes when a forced landing
occurs it is in a field distant from
any road, and the ambulance can
reach it only by travelling a long and
round about way. The hospital
ship" can save time, not only by its
speed, but also by going direct to the
scene of h accident.
1ue UBIQUITOUS OF prep.
arations for accidents is thoroughly
approved by the young flyers and has
no depressing effects on their spirits.
Always during flying times the am
balances manned and with motors
running. stand on the dead" line
ready to start. Forced landings
sometimes occur,.with occasional &C
cidents, but most frequently the in
juries are not serious, 10 the ambu-
lances have no terrors for the cadets.
They call them ''meat wagons
Adjutant Wyman has just an
noCnced that work in aerial wireless
and aerial photography is being done
at Love field now, special equipment
being placed on the planes last week
for these purposes.
Another innovation is a "trafnc
squad" composed Of two or more ma.
chimes which patrol the air during
flying to see that the practicing avi.
ators stay within the aerial bounds

HUNS COMPLETELY SURPRISED
BY ALERT AMERICAN ARTILLERY
Germans Planned to- Enter
Village Of Xivray, but the
Americans Pour Shells in
to Lines with Gratifying
Results. ~,

With the American Army "a France.
Sunday, June 1s.ltBy the Associated
Press.l-In their attack one ivray.
onsthe tToul sector today, the Germans
hoped to enter the village and carry
Off q large number Of prisoners. but
the alertness Of the American artillery
observers completely overturned. The
enemy plan. Examination Of captured
Germans disclosed that the enemy
planned the raid a week in advance
and that the six hundred special
troops who took part In 1t were re-
kearsed behind the German lines.
The enemy plan was to send for
ward q large party without prepara-
tory artillery fire. This party was to
take up a position near the American
barbed wire and then send up a signal
rocket for q box barrage to cover
xvray and the approaching commun-
ication trenches while the heavier ar
tillery was to lombard the villages in
the rear.
American artillery observers saw a
large number of Germans creeping
about in No Mans Land and thinking
they composed a large working party,
the observers signalled for a barrage.
The American artillery and machine
guns went into action Immediately
and before the enemy barrage could
ret started, had inflicted heavy casual
ties on tho unprotected Germans in
No Mans Land and played havoc
with the plans for the raid.
The original enemy plan was for the
attacking party to enter Xivray from
three directions Only one section &C
tually reached the outskirts Of the
village. OF these only q small group
got into Xivray where they were
quickly surrounded by the Americans
and either captured Or killed. Eight
prisoners. including a lieutenant, re-
NAMED in the American hands.
A majority of tho American casual
ties, which do not include n miss
ing, resulted from tho German artil-
.lery fro.

Caught Between
Car Couplings
Tom Pitner Receives Fatal Injuries.
Dies at Helena--Well Known Here

A letter from Tex Pitner this
week brings us the sad news of
the sudden accidental death of his
brother Tommy, who was well
known here. Mr.. Pitner was for
merly employed at the Banner
office and while here his brother
Tommy also, spent considerable
time here and had many friends
who will deeply regret to hear the
sad news. Following is an account
of his death from the Livington
paper:
Tom Pitner aged Is years, a
painter with the Northern Pacific
bridge gang, was caught between
two cars at Townsend about II
o'clock yesterday morning and
sustained injuries of so serious a
nature that he died in a Helena
hospital a few hours later.
According to the best imforma-
ton obtainable, Pitner, who was
engaged with others in painting
some cars attempted to pass be-
tween two cars which were Slight
ly separated, Just at that NOM
ent switch engine bumped into
the string and Pitner, it is said,
was caught between the couplings
and badly crushed.
The young man was placed on
stub and taken to Helena, being
taken to ST. Peters hospital. DR..
S. A. Conney, the company's
Helena physician, was Immediately
summoned, but the unfortunate
mans injuries were of so terrible
a nature that little could be done
except to make him comfortable
until the end.
Pitner's home is in Livingston,
where his mother, Mrs Alfred
Trager, resides.
He is also survived by two
brothers, Tex and Atwood Pitner,
and a sister Mrs. Ernest Mcdonald
all of whom live in Livingston.
The body arrived in this city
yesterday afternoon on train No 4
and will lie in state at the Thielen
undertaking parlors until Monday
Funeral services will
be held at the Methodist church
at 2 o'clock and interment
will be made in the Mountain
View cemetery"
The Banner joins Tommy's
many friends here in extending
sympathy to the bereaved rela-
ives.
