field where they encountered the
American aviators for a German camp,
according to information today.
Winslow and Campbell were playing
cards in an aviation shed when they
received the report that two enemy
aviators were headed In their dtreo-
ton at a height of about 5000 feet.
Both men, who were on alert duty and
full dressed in aviation costume. ran
on the field, jumped into their ma
chimes and mounted into the air to
repel the invaders.
Modest in Exploit.
Later they were modest in giving a
recital of their experience. Lieut.
WinsIow said:
when we got up in the air we saw
the Germans approaching. Campbell
picked out one and started for him and
I started for the other. I got onto the
trail of my man and shot a round OF
machine gun bullets into the machine.
He looped around my machine I
shot a round at him. His machine

machine was out of commission. then
arose to help Campbell. but he had al
ready mastered the adversary
Lieut.. Campbell said: my man saw
me first and fired a round tame. Some
of the bullets punctured my machine
but did it little damage. I finally got
over him and let fly. His machine
caught fire and started to fall. fol-
lowed 1t to the ground"
Campbelrs adversary was badly
burned about the face, but will re-

hurt. Both of the enemy airmen were
less than twenty-five years Of age.
winslow's captive, who had been fly
ing for two years, said in German:
We'll, the war is over for me-" when
made prisoner by the American.
. Both Winslow and Campbell were
excited and nervous after laItdfng.
Winslow walked up to his German
adversary and handed him a cigarette.
then remounted his machine and
climbed in the air to escape the crowd
of persons who had congregated about
him.
A French woman who owned a cafe
nearby heard of the exploit and, seiz-
ing a bottle of wine, ran on the field
with the intention OF presenting it to
the American conQuerors. She saw one
of the German aviators standing in
the midst of a large crowd and mis-
took him for An American and gave
him the wine, which the German drank.
The woman later learned OF her mis-
take and was very much disappointed.
