CHAPTER ".
CIipped Winus.


The hospital in which l found my
self on the morning after my capture
was a private house made Of brick,
very low and dirty, and not at all
adapted for use as n hospital. 1t had
evidently been used but a few days on
account of the big push that was TAX
ing place at that time Of the year, and
In all probability would be abandoned
as Oon as they had found a better
place.
In all. the house contained four
rooms and a stable, which was by far
the largest of all. Although l never
looked into this swing" Of the hospital,
I was told that 1t. too, was filled with
patients lying on beds Of straw around
on the ground. l do not know whether
they, too, were officers or privates.
The room in which l found myself
contained eight beds, three Of which
were occupied by wounded German Of
ficers. The other rooms. I imagined.
had about the same number of beds as
mine. There were no Red Cross nurses
In attendance, just Orderlies, for this
was only I'm emergency hospital and
too near the firing line for nurses. The
orderlies were not old men nor very
young boys, as l had expected to find,
but young men in the prime of life,
who evidently had been medical stu
dents. One or two Of them, l dlscOv-
cred, were able to talk English, but
for some reason they would not talk.
Perhaps they were forbidden by the
officer In charge to do 30.
In addition to the bullet wound In
my mouth I had a swelling from my
forehead to the back of my head al
most as big as my shOe-and that is
saying considerable. l couldn't move
an inch without suffering intense pain,
and when the doctor told me that I
had no bones broken l wondered how
Il fellow would feel who had.
German officers visited me that
morning and told me that my machine
went down In a spinning nose dive
from a height Of between 5000 and
5000 feet, and they had the surprise
of their lives when they discovered
that l had not been dashed to pieces.
They had to cut me out OF my machine,
which was riddled With shots and shat
tered to bits.
A German doctor removed the bullet
from my throat, and the first thing he
said to me when I came to was, "You
are an American !"
There was no denying it, because
the metal Identification disk on my
wrist bore the inscription:
"P. OBJ.
U. s. A.
r. F. c."
Although l was suffering intense
agony. the doctor, who spoke perfect
insisted upon c%Onversing with
"You may be all right as a sports
man." he declared, "but you are a
Id murderer just the same for be-
ing here. You Americans who got into
his thing before America came into
The war are no better than common
nurderers and you ought to be treated
he same way"
The wound in my mouth made it i'm
for me to answer him, and |
vas suffering too much pain to be
lurt very much by anything he could
'ay.
He asked me If I would like an

very important part of our work t,
keep them out of the sky.
There are two ways of going after ;
balloon in n machine. one of them |.
TO cross the lines at n low altitude. fly
ing 81 near the ground that the maj
+ with the antiaircraft gun can't bother
you. iOn fly along until you get to the
level of the balloon and if, in the
meantime. they have not drawn the
balloon down, you open fire on it and
the bullets you use will set it on fire
if they land.
The other way is to fly over where
you know the balloons to be. put your
machine in IL spin 50 that they cam
hit you. get above them. spin over the
balloon and thcn open fire. In going
back over the line you cross ut II few
hundred feet.
This is one of the hardest Jobs in
the service. There is less danger in
attacking an enemy'S aircraft.
Nevertheless, | had made up my
mind to either get those balloons or
make them descend. and | only hoped
that they would stay on the job until
] had IL chance at them.
When our two hours duty was up.

was AT II height of 5000 feet, con
sidcrably higher than the balloons.
Shutting my motor off, | dropped down
thrO;Lh the c'ouiS. thinking to find
the balloons ut about five or six miles
behind the German lines.
Just as | came out of the cloud
banks | saw below mo, about Il thou
sand feet, IA two-srater hostile ma
chine doing artillery observation and
directing the German guns. This WAS
At II point about four miles behind the
German lines.
Evidently the German artillery saw
me and put out ground signals to at
tract the Hun machines attention, for
I saw the observer quit his work and
grab his gun. while their pilot stuck
the nose of his machine straight
down.
But they were too late To escape ne.
| was diving towart them at n speed
of probably two hundred miles an
hour. shooting al the time as fast as
possible. Their only chance lay in
the possibility that the force of my
drive might break my wings. | knew
my danger in tina direction, but as
soon as I came out of my dive the
Huns would have their chance to get
me. and l knew I had to get them first
and take a chance on my wings hold
ing out.
Fortunately some of my first bullets
found their mark, and l vas able to
come Out of my dive at about four
thousand feet. They never came out
of theirs.
But right then came the hottest sit |
uatiOn in the air l had ever expert
enced up to that time. The depth of
my dive had brought me within reach
of the machine guns from the ground,
and they also put a barrage around me
of shrapnel from antiaircraft guns
and had an opportunity to "ride the
~barrage." as they call it in the X. F. c.
To make the situation more interest
ting, they began shooting flaming on
IONS at rne. FLAMING onions are
rockets shit from a rocket gun. They
are used 10 hit q machine when it Is

to about five thousand feet Some
times they are shot up n after an

The difference In power required be-
tween good roads and poor is power
wasted. The loss is borne not alone
by the farmer but by all Of us who
consume farm products and who pay
to have them hauled to rs.
