Washington, Feb 7---Chasfng a ter- rffied Hun officer, clad only in pa jarnas of delicate pink, and shooting up little narrow gauge train back of the German lines until the wheez- ing locomotive exploded with & bang are two expolits with an amusing side to the credit of Capt. Reed G. Landis, American aviator, and son of Judge Kenesaw M. Lapdds.
 Capt Landis described some Of his experi-- ces before leaving for Prince ton to attend the services in memory of Hobey Baker, the fa3 3mous hockey player, who was killed in France in practice flight after the signing of the arrnistice. Capt Landis ireturned to America on the Agamemhon-
 Telling of his encounter with the railroad train, he said that when he swooped down and began (rtddling the cars and engine wit: his machine gun the engineer threw t4e th hrottle wide open nd put on all steam The little train rocked and rattled in frantic but futile efforts to distance the air plane.
 Capt Landfs returned again and again to the attack, to the evident terror of the train crew. Finally, af- ter what seemed to be a last despair ing burst of speed, the locomotive blew up, the train pdMng upS on top of it like string of toy cars,
 Capt. I.andis told how he came to flush a German officer out from his shelter in one of the air raids on the enemy lines. He saSd the officer emerged without having had time to change from pink pajamas to-. his uni form. Round and round the field Capt Landis chased the Hum, occa- stonally letting loose a squirt of ma chine gun bullets to accelerate the fugttive's jumps. r Capt Landis was in command of the 25th American Pursuit Squadron when the armistice was signed. He formerly was with the 40th British Squadron and when with them took part in a fight in which 60 machines were engaged. He was in a SE-5 scout plane on Aug. when ordered with his comrades to escort day bombing squad home. In the fight the British squadron either crushed or chased away all the German planes which attacked the allied fiiers, with out themselves losing g. plane.
 Soon after this engagement Landis started to attack an observation bal loon, but spied single scatter below the balloon, which he proceeded to attack with such success that the en- emy crashed to the ground, He then retu-14ed and destroyed thss balloon, the whole action taking only about F minutes
 For this ho received the British Dis tinguished Flying Cross and a cita- ton.

 How glorious appropriate and typ ical of Vermont and New England men Is that last entry: "Attacked- Halted by the Armist1ce!" In other words, the Vermont and New Eng land boys were up and at it to the very last minute.

 Let me, as a native of Vermont whose New England ancestors on both sides of his fannSly fought in the War of the Revolution, and who. in these recent days, did everything in | his power on the international firing line at Washington, so to speak, to make sure that the other American nations co-operated with the United States in backing up the Vermont and New England boys Overseas, urge, first, that the returning troops be shown every consideration possi-
 ble, both in the hearty welcome ex- tended and in the immediate re-em-
 pioyment provided for them, and, second, that not only Vermont but every state of New England shall thoughtfully and enthusiastically plan | and erect fitting permanent me nrordals to those who were killed in battle, died of wounds, or otherwise perished in the war service of their country. Let us make sure that we will | build for all dme-that such me- n1orials wil satisfy not only the hv- | ing, but meet in our imagination | the approval of those who have gone to the realms of eternal peace. Let | these be so appropriately designed | and soHdly constructed that our chil- | dren, our grandchildren and future 1 generations, long after all of us who are alive today have joined our sol !, dier dead, shall ever be reminded of the achievements of their ancestors
