sheer daring, courage and bravery
none surpassed Frank Luke
Luke'S record stands without a par
in the history Of the war. In the
fun sweep of his fighting career he
averaged nearly one German plane or
balloon for each day--at the rate Of
almost 80 for a month. II his victo-
r.es are considered in relation Ia entire
time OF active service. he averaged
abou, Q planes or balloons for each
month he spent at the front. The
great Richthofen. with his 50 con
f9rnled victories. averaged IL little over
ois triumphs for each month Of
service
Perhaps a flyer who fought with
the abandon and CarelessuesS Of risk
which characterized Luke could not
survive as long as Eichthofen sur.
viyed: from standpoint OF military
usefulness he wouldn't have 10. II
Luke had served for "A year and had
fought at the pace he set during his
period Of combat. he would have ex.
terminated the German air force So
far rs the German observation balloon
service on his sector Of the front
was concerned. he did almost attain
the point OF DISCRIMINATING his en-
emics
That Luke's victories were over
mer competent in defense is proved
ny the fact that no other flyer in
tho Allied Armies attained his record
of performance. That his own de-
Tense was competent ia shown by the
fact that though he was attacked by
scores of German fighting planes. he
always eiuded or DESTROYED his at.
tackers and was at last killed by iirt,
from the ground rather than from an
enemy airplane
Air fighting IN 1878 was a new sci
enCe OF warfare. With It's princip!cs
still nntixed. although IL had pro-
Eressel materially from the early DAYS
~. sky warfare which obtained in 1915.
The story ~ how Americans living
under mn alien Nag helped write the
opening pages in the air history Ut
the war Is a record Of courage and
ingenuity which in many WAYS equals
the meieoric tale OF Frank Luke.

HICKMAN CHANGES
Motive FOR CRIME
Slayer Now Claims He Was
Guided in Staying by kind
of Providence"

D. the Associated Press
las ANGELES. January l4.-An.
other statement OF motives in the
Kidnapping and Staying of little Marian
Parker has been added to the already
bulky collection OF confessions pen
cilei by William Edward Hickman.
The latest document was scrubbed
yesterday by Hickman in the presence
of one of his alienists, one Tor the
prosecution and the county Jail rhy.

II Immediately drew fire from the
prosecution camp, representatives of
the district attorneys office mailing
the new work OF Hickman'S pencil as
defense plan 10 tear holes in the
wall OF confessions previously made
by the young slayer.
Changes Story of Motives.
The States forces pointed oft that
the new story in spots coutradicted
tiickmanS TWO previous statements.
Whereas he previously said he took
the small girls life in the fear that
his apartment would be searched. in
his last declaration OF motive Hick.
man wrote.
The impulse TO kill just popped
into my head. l wasn't scared of the
search"
In telling of the dismemberment of
the body, Hickman added a new bit
10 his previous stories, writing: Il
PLAYED lazz record in the bathroom
during the crime. and don't think
IL Was a cold -hlooded murder.
Th,Uuchout his new confession
hickman wrote Of a kind OF provi-
0ence" which he declared directed him
in what he called this terrible
crime
Would Kill Mother.
If they had hindered me / would
have done H. namely. Kill my mother
o. any ore else who stood in my way
because they stood in the way OF this
providence which was intending this"
hickman wrote when asked if he ever
had threatened his mother. And later
he added: In the pursuit Of this great
calling the murder Of my own mother
would be only incidental. The life of
one person is of no value when the
property and lives IF millions OF peo-
pie IS 10 he considered"
While Hickman was yielding his
