The lieutenant had come to Middle

advertised to lecture on his experiences
as an aviator and prisoner in Ger

Story of Fight

The eX-aviator's story Of his first
fight was modestly told. He had been
out in a machine of the slow type,
cruising along in the rear of his for
nation, as was the allotted position Of
the novice. His inexperience and slow
er plane resulted in his getting lost over
the enemy lines While he was looking
for his comrades he was met by three
Germans to whom he waved in greet
ing, thinking they were friends. The
third in line answered his wave with
gun fire that took off a piece of his
nose But he just retaliated and got
his first Hun. He told of his second
victory with similar modesty. He had
been lost in the clouds again and came
upon a battle between the l4Sth and
five German Fokkers. As he hoated
about, an interested spectator, three
enemies swooped upon him, one fall
ing directly opposite, perfect shot
he said, requiring only a quick aim
to force him down in flames Fokke-
number two streaked it for home. but
the third sought revenge, Knots
drove at him head on, when his guns
jammed In this difficulty he too re-
treated for his own lines and curious.y
the enemy turned about and did the
same thing. The lieutenant said thar
he has often laughed at that hgh-,

He warned the initiated about too
great enthusiasm for a first flight and
told Of his own attack Of nerves when
he first went up Saying he did not
trust fair or carnival machines he ad-
vised against going up in one without
a thorough inspection. He told a story
about a negro passenger of the l9te

One of 35 Aces

In introducing Lieut.. Knots Dr.
Ross said that he was one of the 80
American aces, credited with 8 official
victories and several Others that had
never been confirmed He had made
his record in two months and had been
mainly instrumental in putting the
18th Aero Squadron within four vic
tories of premier rank in the A. E. F.
air service.
Lieut. Knots, who is only "a and in
appearance a mere youth, seemed
abashed under the high praise Of his
former medical officer. AS he arose to
speak, he snappily saluted the five
Grand Army men among whom he sat,
Veterans W. w. Martin, Edward Gou-
lette, Charles Williamson, Edward
Jones and Charles Cady.
The speakers first effort was the
return OF DR. Ross bouquet, which he
did with unstint21 praise to the doc"
for countless services rendered on the
front when two younger medical men
had deserted the squadron during the
first bombardment.

The main body of Polish forces is

sorted out the cheap silk, taking only
the best. Entrance into the store was
through a basement window in the
back, then breaking the lock on the
door leading from the basement into
the store. The goods were removed
through the Office window on the south
side. Among the articles taken were
several bolts of silk, silk stockings
and one or two sheeplined coats. The
door between Burch's Hardware and
the store was open, but nothing was
taken from the hardware. No clue
of the identity of burglar or burglars

goods were removed in an automobile,

it is hoped that the culprits will be
