ton, he was the second American to
be given the title of ace.
At this juncture, he met with an
accident that nearly ended his career
as a flyer
His ear drums were split as the
result of a 6,000-foot fall which came
after a single-handed fight against
three German planes. The tip of one
of the wings of the plane Rickenbach-
er was plotting was carried away by
a hostile Fokker, and he plunged to
earth. He was pronounced incapaci-
tated for further service.
Carries Case to Pershing
The former racing driver refused to
be put out of the running, and carried
his case direct to General Pershing.
The latter ruled that he still might
fight.
When he became captain, Ricken-
bacher commanded the famous Hat-in-
the-Ring Squadron. His victories con-
tinued to pile up, one after the other,
until he was acclaimed American ace
of aces.

United States, protests against the
mixing of religion and politics, in an
article which, as a Presbyterian elder,
he contributes to the forthcoming Sep
TENDER issue of the Presbyterian New

difficult thing to be a Christian, either
Catholic sor Protestant, and a mans
job to be an American citizen, and
says it is weakening thing to try
TO unite the two under either church
or civil rule. He adds that the King

congress being memorialiZed by de-
nominations. and protests that indi-
vidual church members should express
themselves politically as citizens, not
in a sectarian way.
