ordered TO go out I'm the dusk Of the evening, sur.
prise and destroy 1t.
at was found that his machine was not In con-
dition for this flight. Luke got another airplane,
and. though he was unfamiliar with this machine
and uncertain OF the reliability of It's motor, he
determined to risk It for night flying.
With express instructions not to attempt to go
down on the balloon until Z 80, Luke left his home
field ut Rembercourt, accompanied by Wehner. As
before. and precisely at $50 In the dusk of the
evening, his comrades on the aerodrome watched
the balloon fall in flames, giving Luke his third
official victory Of the day.
81 have all the details OF his meteoric career.
For his glorious work on September 20, 1918. the
day of his death. he was awarded the medal. He
started out to destroy three Hun observation bal
looms. When nearly overhead he was attacked by
ten enemy machines. He engaged all of them
single-handed and crashed two of the ten. Then
he dropped-out Of control, as II seemed. but most
likely only pretending to be 30. When he reached
the level of the balloons he shot them down one
after another In fames-all three of them. The
anti-aircraft guns we're very busy about the sec
opd balloon. After that he disappeared"
The Americans made every effort to solve the
mystery of Luke's disappearance. The report Of
Captain Staten and the affidavit of citizens of
Murvaux given herewith, show the situation Of
one stage of the proceedings.
The remains of the intrepid air fighter were
buried close by In a grave marked rs that Of an "Un-
known American aviator" 1t was stripped, as the
Germans thought. of everything that would iden-
tify II. but they overlooked a wrist watch. which
was found later and sent to the identification
bureau at Paris.
Then Captain F. W. linn of the air service
went to Murvaux and made an investigation
which seemed TO prove conclusively that the body
was that of Lieutenant Luke.

"f any layman or landsman reading the hts-
tory Of Luke's career liz inclined TO fancy that
balloon strafing is an easy trick, no experienced
pilot shares that Illusion" says Colonel Hartney.
I'm reality 1t is the most dangerous exploit any
man In any branch of the service can undertake.
The concentration of anti-aircraft fire from the
ground makes 1t much more hazardous than other
fighting. On every occasion of such attempts
Luke's machine was literally riddled with bullets
and twice he was compelled to abandon his air
plane and break In a new one.

TENDER Is, 1918, the enemy succeeded in getting
another balloon up at Boinville, and a second at
Bots d'Hingry. Luke had been watching like a
hawk this area, and the moment a balloon assembled
he spotted II and returned to his own aerodrome
with data and an appeal to be allowed to de-
stroy 1t.
Before Luke went out on that afternoon, there
fore, new tactics were decided upon. Three friend.
ly escorting patrols of five machines were to dart
to Luke's rescue, timed to arrive at the objective
90 seconds after Luke. Our balloons were advised
by courier that at 8 :05 that afternoon Luke would
shoot down the Boinvile balloon and asked to be
on the lookout. Almost to the second Luke was
perceived diving homeward, with a formation OF
five enemy Fokkers sitting on his tail and a burn
ing balloon falling in the background. He man.

his own side of the line and not far from the most
advanced American troops. Those on the ground
thought that he was lost. He had, In fact, landed
to get his own bearings and those of the second
balloon, which he had seen at a distance.
without getting out of his machine, without
even stopping his motor. careful only OF hidden
shell holes which might smash his undercarriage,
he took off ~skillfully from ground which was never

Of the men discharged and who were
not farming when they entered the
army intended to take up farming.
OF the 1.8 per cent Of the soldiers
who had been on farms previous to
entering the army, and who did not
intend to return, the reason given
by / per cent was that the men were
disabled and therefore unable to do
heavy farm work. At least half Of
this number are taking up vocational
courses in agriculture which will fit
them for a class of farm work which
does not require hard physical effort.
Practically the entire remaining
eight-tenths per cent had been farm
ing with their parents or were ten
ants and considered 1t too late to
farm this year, as other help had
been secured.
A similar report from the farm
help specialist In charge Of the work
at Camp Gordon, Ca, shows that
during 4 weeks in April 1921 farmers
we're discharged from that camp. OF
that number SO were directed to sit
uations on the farms In Georgia.
while 2,342 said they were returning
to their Jobs or homes on the farms,
and the remaining 500 did not desire
to go back to farm work.
At another camp 30 farmers were

that they we're going back to the
