must confess that we got little inn
patient, although we realized that
every time a new man was called 1t
meant that some one else had, in all
probability, been killed, wounded or
captured.
One morning an order came in for
q scout pilot and one of my friends
was assigned. / can tell you the rest
of us were as envious of him as if it
were the last chance any of us were
ever going to have to get to the front.
AS 1t was, however, hardly more than
three hours had elapsed before an
other wire was received at the mess
and I was ordered to follow my
friend. / afterward learned that as
soon as he arrived at the squadron he
prevailed upon the commanding Off
Ger of the squadron to wire for me.
At the Pool Pilots Mess 1t was the
custom of the officers to wear Shorts"
brooches that are about eight inches
long, like the boy scouts wear, leav-
ing a space of about eight inches Of
open country between the top of the
puttees and the end Of the shorts. The
Australians wore them in Salonlki and
at the Dardanelles.
When the order came In for me,
had these Shorts" on, and didn't
have time to change into other clothes.
Indeed, was in such sweat to get
to the front that if had been In my
pajamas / think / would have gone
that way. AS 1t was, it was raining
and / threw an overcoat over me,
jumped into the machine, and we made
record time to the airdrome to which
1 had been ordered to report.
AS I alighted from the automobile
my overcoat blew open and displayed
my manly form attired in Shorts" in
stead of In the regulation flying
brooches, and the sight aroused con-
siderable commotlon in camp.
'Must be a Yankee!" I overheard
one officer say to another as 1 APP
preached. mo one but Yankee would

came up to them, and welcomed me
to the squadron, and was soon very
much at home.
My squadron was one of four sta
toned at an airdrome about eighteen
miles back of the Ypres line. There
were Is pilots In our squadron, which
was scout squadron, scout machines
carrying but one man. w
A scout, sometimes called fighting
scout, has no bomb dropping or recon
noitering to do. His duty is just to
fight, or, as the order was given to me,
''You are expected to pick fights and
not wait until they come to you"
When bomb troopers go out over
the lines In the daytime scout squad
ron usually conveys them. The bomb
troopers fly at about twelve thousand
feet, and scouts thousand feet or SO
above them.
II at any time they should be at
tucked, It is the duty of the scouts to
