With the American Army in
France, Feb. S-The young American
lieutenant who had the honor of
shooting down his first German aero
plane while accompanying a French
escadrille on bombing expedition on
tuesday night had never operated
machine gun before in his life while
III hight, and never before had been
over the enemy lines. He got his
man over the German city of Saar-
burg.
The bombing squadron was over
Saarburg and in the act of dropping
bombs when enemy aeroplanes were
seen approaching rapidly By the
time the bomb dropping had been
completed the enemy was close at
hand and the French formation,
which this American and another
American had accompanied as gun
ners, was at an altitude of 1906
feet.
The lieutenant, who is a Missourian
took off his gloves so that he might
operate his machine gun more effec-
lively when he saw an enemy plane
driving in from the side and firing it's
gun. The bullets whizzed close to
the french machine before the Ameri-
can acting as gunner, could get his
piece into action. Then he turned

For shredding cabbage or cutting
julienne potatoes, carrots, etc, there
is a little wood and metal device that

the corrugated bit of metal slides up
