many looks much the same as France
from up above" replied Lieut.. Eddie
Rickenbacker, American ace, to a
question.
I'VE get to look at it quite often
naturally. OF course. we cannot go
down low very often. Once in a while
the excuse offers itself for making n
close inspection of Germany from
above. When we get a Heinie on the
run and can follow him home, we
sometimes drive him down near the
treetops, If the archies are not too
busy.
''Once in a while we take a chance
and strafe the German trenches from

an attack that l could see the men
very clearly, and could get targets to
shoot at. But its only on rare occa-
sions that we ever get close to Ger

high up.
They All Look Alike.
ITS surprising how much like
France Germany does look. Your
Imagination pictures something diff

But thereare the same rolling plains

than on our side, though that may
be because We fly lower when on the
home side.
I'VE can see autos and trains and
strings of wagons now and then on
the roads. The German trenches are
more in evidence than ours, and they
stretch back for miles behind the
lines. Right up to them. though, the
Germans are cultivating the soil, and
their farms are easily spotted. The
railroads over there look about the
sane as those on this side of the
line. In several places the lines of
this side run up to no mans land and
then are smashed up for a ways, but

line. 1t seems wrong that there
should be the connection.
No Mans Land.
NO Mans Land usually looks very
much plowed up. We are glad to see
that, though probably we are the only
ones who care. This gives a definite
assurance of where home is. often
you are in doubt, and if you happened
to cross the lines where No Mans
Land is not shot to pieces you are not
sure of your position. Some of the
boys have gone great distances back
looking for towns or landmarks they
recognized, and one chap lost his
way so completely he landed in Swift
zerland when his gas gave out.
The villages are fairly well bat
tered on both sides, though unless
they are in ruins you cannot tell from
above how much damaged they are
Some are completely obliterated, and
are but q mass of stone and plowed
ground. The larger cities are easily
seen, and railroads and large factO-
ries can easily he spotted.
Germany Looks Peaceful.
Germany looks rather peaceful
from above and there seems to be
little disturbing them back a ways
from the lines. That Is where-an air
mans point OF view is defective. The
German hills and fields look as soft
as ours. Probably they are, which
is not very soft. Any field covered
with grass always looks soft and
you think it would make a find land
ing place. When you get down
lower and are forced to land on any
old field that happens to be under
you. some time when you're en- panne
you learn differently.
Trees you didn't see and sticks or
bitches in the fields covered with
grass, are there to turn you over
usually. Barbed wire stretches along
the country and you cannot see it
either. with ordinary breaks of luck
you can land safely If you are on
the right side of the line when your
motor cukoos. but what is very i'm
portant is that ordinary break Of

trict than any other man in Congress.
He served for years as chairman OF the
Senate District Committee.
Senator Gallinger. whose home wss
at Concord. n. r., was born on
farm in Cornwall, Ontario. Canada,
March %. 1887, and was entering on
his eighty-second year. He was one
OF twelve children. He was a printer
and practieed medicine until he en-
tered Congress. He had been for
years on the board of trustees OF Co.
lumbia Hospital for Women here. He
served in the legislature OF his own
State, in both houses: served In ths
House, Forty-ninth and Fiftieth Con-
crosses, and was elected to the Senate
to succeed Henry W. Blair in 1891.
Senator Gallinger was a Republican
of the old. conservative, high tariff
school. He was contemporary with
men like Aldrich, Hale, Platt OF Con-
nectlcut and Allison of Iowa. He
served as President pro tempore Of
the Senate part of the Sixty-second
Congress.
He was remarkable for an iron
constitution that, in sipte of years,
upheld him through the storm and
stress OF public life when younger
men went to pieces.
He had been through political bat
ties innumerable. but he took them
philosophically. To add to his bur-
dens his wife and his children pre-
ceded him to the grave, and he lost
two sons under tragic circumstances.
He will long be remembered at the
Capitol and in Washington as one OF
the most remarkable personalities out
OF many remarkable men sent by New
England to Congress.

ROY CASE PROBE
STILL UNDER WAY

The Commonwealth's case against
Lou Hall, the wood cutter. accused
of the murder last week of fourteen
year-old Eva Roy. near Burkef Sta
ton, was strengthened today by the
positive statement of Sheriff J. r.
Allison that the story Of deserting
soldier having been in the vicinity
of the crime about the time it Is
believed to have been committed was
without foundation.
1t was reported to the Fairfax
county officials that a deserter from
Camp Humphreys had been arrested
at Charlottesville, Va, that he had
come from Fairfax county and that
his face and hands bore bruises
which had the appearance OF having
been inflicted by finger nails.
An effort had been made to locate
someone bearing scratches. the as
sumption being that the assailant OF
the girl has suffered at her hands.

1t was stated to Sheriff Allison at
the camp that no soldier had deserted
there during the last month nor had
any deserter from any ether camp
been brought there.
In its investigation the Common
wealth has found three important
witnesses on whom it relies to refut:
the statement OF Hall that the
scratches on his hands when he was
arrested were caused by his two-year-
old daughter.
When he left home with his wife
and two children a short time after
the crime was committed. Hall led
them to his wife's fathers house sew
eral miles distant.
Hall claims that he carried the
baby in his arms and that the chill
scratched him.
The Washington times., 1918-08-17
Three New Witnesses.

The three new witnesses assert
that they saw Hall walking and lead
ing his four Year-old son and they
claim his wife was carrying the baby
in her arms. The wife also says that
she carried the younger child In her
arms.
Just before reaching his wife's
fathers house, Hall left his wife to go
alone with the baby. and he went
away toward ACcotink to begin work
driving "A wagon for Joe Magner. He
led his four-lear-oId son b. the hand.
