of fight and RickenbaCker had two

death by the narrowest of margins and
IN the course of which he lost track
OF Smyth. Fearing the worst for his
comrade. Rickenbacker fastened back
10 the airdrome. where his fears re-
ceived fresh impetus as he saw a
crowd of pilots and mechanics on the
field
When he landed he got far worse
shock than he would have received If
Smyth had been shot down. Lufbery
was dead
The story of "Lut's" death has been
told in a previous chapter. A French
ace from q nearby squadron had flown
to avenee Lufberys death. but he, too
was shot down by the same German
whose guns had sent Lufbery down in
flames. Another French flyer had bet
ter luck. and the German pilot who
killed Lufbery never returned to the
airdrome to report his victory. Douglas
Campbell had also pursued Lufbery's
slayer. On the way back. Campbell had
met German Rumpler plane and had
killed the rear gunner and wounded
the pilot. sending the plane down in
side the American lines, The Germans
had begun 10 pay the long price that
was TO be collected for the death of
Raoul Lufbery.

Col. Robinson suggested that the paci-

where they could be of real service in
quieting the warlike tendencies of the
nations that are always seeking war.
We want war with no one" Col. Rob-

hence, the pacifsts are wasting their
time in this country"
While the organizations that are
seeking peace are doing laudable work.

bers Of his staff here are unable to say
whether the Parker property is being
sought as home for the national head
quarters or for the Offices of the execu-
tive chief. located here at present. The
sale of the Atlanta Khan property
strengthened the belief that the Parker
property is sought for new home for
the national headquarters.
The Atlanta dispatch did not reveal
whether the Khan would continue to
occupy its present national headquar-
tiers Offices in the building. The West
ern Union Telegraph Co. has rented
several floors of the Khan Building in

price given by the Atlanta Constitu-
ton was $1.100000. The building was
