New Type Combat

Washington, July 25.--rhe s. E.-5, {

air forces abroad, it was learned today
The new plane, which closely ap
proaches the English spad, will carry
the Hispana-suiza engine. 1t is now
being put into production as rapidly a,
possible.
Adoption of the S. E.-5 as the Ameri
can air fighter follows abandonment
of the Bristol fighter, because it was
found that extension of the plane space
to allow the machine to carry the heavy
Liberty motor made it cumbersome.
Assertions that $l0O,000.000 had been
lost in experiments with the Bristol
were denied today by members of the
senate aircraft investigating commit.

was considerable, it did not approach

pected TO be issued soon, will empha-
size that while the Liberty motor has
not been found useful in the Bristol, it

With the American Boys at tht
Front, June II. -(By mail Thrill,
out here at the front come from tht
most unexpected places. When there
is no excitement in one place it usually
comes from another
A most interesting thing happened
q few days ago. One of our aviator:
came very low over the town ant
we all rushed out as soon as we heard
the roar Of his motor for we thought
possibly he had been brought down
One American machine did crash lust
outside town some time ago.
But this tiny little machine whizzed
over the roofs and went away, evi

archies," which always shoot when
American airplanes get in sight We
went to work again, forgetting the in
cident.
About twenty minutes later a very
tired and dusty airman walked into our
kitchen and asked for doughnuts
made by the doughgirls for dough-
boys. " He said he was not a doughboy
but he had not eaten doughnuts for a
year, since he left home.
Had Some Extras
Fortunately we had extra doughnuts
that day, so we brought out a pan of
them. We were delighted to feed them
to an aviator, and especially fighting
pilot. He ate several, and then asked
for our doughnut recipe, saying the
cook Of the eseadrille might be able to
make doughnuts.
He had heard of our doughnuts and
after locating our village from above,
had alighted in field ON the out
skirts, just ont of sight of enemy OBJ
servation balloons. From there he
walked to our hut.
We were tickled to death when he
promised to come back the following
day and do stunts over our hut We
gave him batch of doughnuts to take
back to. his pals, via airplane.
Sure enough, the next morning along
came our aviator man. He turned SOM
mersaults and flips of many kinds, to
our delight Doughboys from every
where gathered and watched our bird
man friend, and were almost crazy with
joy at his stunts.
Finally the little airplame darted OFF
and up. We had just about decided the
show was over when back he came
diving very suddenly until he was on
ly about three hundred feet from us.
Plays More Tricks
Then he straightened out and cir
cled around once turning way over on
his side and then we saw him wave his
hand to us. We surely were excited for
fear he would crash into something,
and thrilled with his skill.
Suddenly he went away like a streak
and very soon afterwards we saw him
higher and nearer the lines. Back of
him was string of little black puffs,
and we knew the Germans were shoot
ing at him. But they did not get him,
for he has been back several times to
do stunts over our hut.
Once when he came beck he dropped

hut, and we raced ont to see what it
