AMERICAN AVIATOR
WINS ITALIAN FAVOR

Burley. Idaho. an american aviator.
showed he could combine coolness
In danger with thorough under
standing Of Italian habits and GUS
toms. On his way back over the
Austrian lines, after deep raid
into enemy territory. his plane was
struck by burst of shrapnel from
anti-aircraft guns. One fragment
lodged In the body of Holtz's ma
chine, another tore hole In the
right wing. while third splintered
one OF the left wing spars. at the
same time cutting one OF the con-
troll cables to such an extent that a
single strand of steel wire was left.
lieutenant Holtz pointed out the
break to the Italian mechanic ac-
companying him. to show the i'm
mlnent danger they were in. The
mechanic. without a moments hesi-
tation. climbed out and fought his
way to the wing against tremend-
GUS wind pressure Then, lying flat
on his face and bracing his feet
against the strut, he grasped the
damaged cable with one hand on
each side of the break. sss 8irs
Just when he was getting a grip on
the last strand Of the cable 1t parted,
and the value. OF his daring action
was apparent. With the cable gone,
the big airplane was useless, but
he scoolly olung there. substituting
his strength for 1t. enabling Lieu
tenant Holtz to bring the machine
safely into italian territory.
After landing the lieutenant show
ed himself true student of Italian
customs. Instead of trying to
thank the mechanic in faulty sItal-
ian. threw his arms around him and
kissed him vigorously on both
checks. The cheering from the near

greeted this act must have made the
Austrians across the Piave wonder
