WIPED OUT FLYERS
EnoIjsh Airmen Made Short Work
of Turkish Enemy.
Breakfast Proved a Very Much D.
layed Meal, but Still the ResuIts
Were Worth a Little Spell
Of Hunger.

When in the winter Of 1017-1S, Cen
eral Allenby decided to wipe out the
Turkish army the next fall, he planned.
with the assistance of Emir Feisal and
his Arabian troops, to take Nazareth
and Galilee. Feisal led a camel troop
of two thousand men inland into the
desert in the late summer Of 1918, says
a writer in the Red Cross Magazine.
There were heat and flies that few
white men could endure, and the way
led l.r north behind the Turkish army
that was facing Allenby.
When they had cut the only railway
by which the Turkish armies down
below could get their supplies, and
had blown up bridges and long stretch
es Of track, the Arabs fell back into
the desert to await Allenby's drive,
and there the Turkish airplanes found
them. Nine machines spent most OF
their time over the huddled Feisal
army.
BY good luck, Colonel Lawrence,
Feisal's adviser, an Englishman whose
endurance proved equal to the hard
ships of the trip, had arranged that
General Allenby should send an air
plane for reports, and at the appoint
ed time he went out on camel to meet
the machine. It came, speck In the
sky at first, and finally 1t landed ana
a British officer stepped out.
"You stay here" said Lawrence.
MY servant will take care Of you. j
must go to Allenby myself to ask him
for airplanes."
Before the officer could protest, Law
renee was off and in few hours was
talking with Allenby.
1--WE must have airplanes," he told
the general. IF we don't stop those
Turkish planes our Arab army Will
dissolve into the desert. The men say
they can't stand still and be killed
from the sky"
"All right" Allenby replied. I'll
send three planes and cargo OF Pc
troll to you in the morning. Day after
tomorrow I'm going to start my drive.
Keep the railroad broken until then"
Flying back to the waiting officer.
Lawrence took the good news to Feisal
in his tent, and at five o'clock the next
morning three big machines landed and
six hungry men clambered down to the
sand.
"First thing we'll do Is have break
fast" they said to Lawrence, who had
come out to meet them. But as they
began to unpack their food bags they
saw five Turkish machines coming for
their daily slaughter Of Arabs and
camels.
1--WE finish breakfast after we get
those fellows" said the airmen.
Within the next half hour Emir
Feisal and his Turks saw five Turkish
airplanes come tumbling down out Of
the sky. The flying men then came
back to breakfast, but they had barely
got started again when two more Turk
ish machines appeared. Once more
they left their breakfast, and within
another half hour two more Turkish
machines were wrecked in the desert
sand. Then they once more came to
eat. Although they had begun break
fast at five, the meal was not finished
until ten o'clock. But it afterward
transpired that the Turkish flying
force was finished at the same time.
The pilots of the two remaining ma
chimes burned their planes to avoid
going up with English machines in the
neighbOrhOod.

It was decided to hold these conferences monthly hereafter, on the last Friday in the month. with a definite programme to be followed
 The bringing together of the extension workers in this manner for the prepara- tion of a programme for the annual meet ing was an innovation. but proved most successful A distinct feature of Hhe meeting was an address to the conference by President Spright Dowell, which was brimful of inspiration and encouragement for bringing to pass the ideals and visions of greater Auburn.
