ACTS AMAZE ITALIANS
Yankee Flyers Credited With
Great Heroism.
Exploits Quickly Win Honors Given by
King Victor Emmanuel
Himself.

Italian Army Headquarters.-The
rection the American flyers are work
ing on the Italian front has only one
fault to find with them. They never
want to remain on the ground.
The exploits which brought five of
the American airmen decorations cam
not yet be published, but the value of
their services may be judged from the
fact that King Victor Emmanuel trav-
eled to the section held by the Amer
leans to make the presentation.
A few days ago Lieut.. Alexander G.
Craig of New York, while flying over
Austrian territory, was attacked by a
chaser plane. By skillfully handling
his own machine, after a few minutes
of jockeying he put his adversary at
a disadvantage and Unanswered his
Own gunner into such a position that
a burst of machine gunfre shot the
attacker dead and sent his plane to the
ground in flames.
Lieut.. Harry l.. Holtz of Burley,
Idaho, showed he could combine great
GOODNESS in danger with a thorough n
Outstanding of Italian habits and GUS
toms. On his way back owe the Aus
trian lines after a deep raid into en-
envy territory his plane was struck by
a burst Of shrapnel from anti-aircraft
guns. One fragment lodged in the
body of Holtz's machine, another tore
a hole in the right wing, while a third
Splintered one of the left-wing spars,
at the same time cutting M of the
aileron control cables to such an ex-
tent that a single strand of steel wire
was left.
Lieutenant Holtz calmly pointed out
the break to the Italian mechanic ac-
companying him. The mechanic, with
out a moments hesitation, climbed out
and fought his way to the wing against
a tremendous wind pressure. Then,
lying fiat on his face and bracing his
feet against the strut, he grasped the
damaged cable with one hand on each
side of the break.
Just when he was getting a grip
on the last strand of the cable it parted
and the value of his daring action was
apparent. With the cable gone, the
big airplane virtually was useless, but
he coolly chung there, substituting his
strength for it and enabling Lieuten-
ant Holtz to bring the machine safely
into Italian territory.
