CHICAGO. November 10.-Col. Frank

Army Corps Air Service, hung UP the
military telephone in headquarters OF
the 25th Aero Squadron, near Toul and
gazed silently into space.

to Capt. Reed Lands, commander OF
the squadron.
That's how Reed Lands, son of Ken

war aces of the United States, learned
of the armistice 10 years ago. Lands
officially was credited with bringing
down 10 planes and twice that number
unofficially.

hilarity was at its highest whon Lahn1

war ending We knew 1t would some
day, but we lived cnly from day to day
always in the present"
The 25th was disappointed, Landi;
relates.
The squadron, just down from the
| British front, had fumed and fretteC
four weeks before planes were sent tc
us and when they came they did not
have guns. 1t was another two weeks
before guns arrived. That was the
week before ;rnistice We had watched

Our planes didn't have bomb racks
so we carried them in our laps, pushing

A few days later Lands, Capt HobJ
