ON THE WESTERN FRONT

O4N 141C w LIN Lawn l. 4tO4N
(by wireless) - We ran to the
wrecked British plane, lying there
upside down, and dropped on our
hands and knees and peeked
through a tiny hole in the side.
A man lay On his back in the
small space of the upside
cockpit. His feet disappeared
somewhere in ~ tumble of dial
and rubber pedals above him His
shirt was open and his chest was
bare to the waist. He was smoking
Acigaret.
He turned his eyes toward me
when I peeked in, and he said in
typical British manner of offhand
friendliness, oh, hello.'
"Are you all right I asked,
stupidity.
He answered, Eyes, quite. Now
that you chaps are here"
1 asked him how long ne had
been trapped in the wrecked plane.
He said he didn't know for sure as
he had got mixed up about the
passage of time. But he aid know
the date of the month he was shot
down. He told me the cate. And I
SAT-. out loud, Good Cod"
For wounded and trapped, he
had been lying there for 8 days
His left leg was broken and pune
tared by an ack-ack burst. His
back was terribly burned by raw
gasoline that had spilled. The foot
of his injured leg was pinned rigid
ly unaer the rudder bar.
His space was so small ne
couldn't squirm around to relieve
his own weight from his paining
back. He couldn't straighten out
his legs, which were bent above
him. He couldn't see out OF his
little prison. He had not had a
bite to eat or drop of water. All
this for eight days and nights.
Yet when we found him his
physical condition was strong, and
his mind was as calm and rational
as Trough he were sitting in Lon
don club. He was in agony, yet in
his correct Oxford accent he even
apologized for taking up our time
to pet him out.
The American soldiers of our res
cue party cussed as they worked,
cussed with open admiration for
this British flier's greatness Of
heart which had kept him alive
and sane through his lonely and
gradually hope-dimming ordeal.
One of them said, God, but
these Limies have got guts!"
1t took us almost an hour to get
him out. We don't know whether
he will live or not, but he has a
chance. During the hour we were
ripping the plane open to make a
hole, he talked to us. And here, in
the best nutshell I can devise fl ON
the conversation of a brave man
whom you didn't want to badger
with trivial questions, is what hap
pened-.
He was an Raj flight lieutenant.
plotting a night fighter. Over a
1 certain area the Germans began
letting him have it from the ground
with machine-gun fire.
:, The first hit knocked out his
motor. He was too low to Jump,
so-foolishly, he said-he turned on
his lights to try a crash landing.
Then they really poured it on him.
The second hit got him in the leg.
!. And a third bullet cut right across
the balls of his right-hand fore.
/ gingers, clipping every one of them
to the bone.
\ He left his heels up, and the
rlane's belly hit the ground going
uphill on a slight slope. We could
| see the groove it had dug for about
50 yards. Then it Hoped, tail
over nose, onto its back. The pilot
was absolutely sealed into the up
side-down cockpit.

SOURDOUCHS ON ALASKA 60 BIB
 FOR SNOW HEP.

Headquarters, Alaskan Depart- ment oct ie.--(UP) Alaskan sour ioughs and Indians used to tell you seriously that the only vehicle that could possibly traverse the frozen swamps and spruce jungles of the northern wilderness would have 70 be Q Buck Rogers atfair complete with wings, pontoons and cater pillar treads. Any more conven- tional conveyance, they said, wouldn't have Q prayer, It would bog down in the first halt mile.
 But that was before they saw their first snow jeep.
 The snow jeep looks like Q racing car crossed on O tractor, with per- haps Q strain of P-So somewhere back in It's mechanical ancestry. It was designed to travel over hogs and snowflelds ct high speed, and it was first tested during the laIid- ing on Kiska island, where 1t was so secret you weren't even sup- posed to wear an interested ex- pression when you looked at it, It has the same weight per square inch on Its treads as the average human foot has, and consequently can negotiate terrain in which any other vehicle would bog to It's hub caps. If there had been any Jap- anese on KiskA when we landed there, they would have been dis- mayed to see fleets of these snort- ing mechanical curiosities racing over bogs they had considered to be impossible,
 Later, during the snow maneu- vers held during the winter at Tal- keetna Village, in the footsiopes of the Alaska Range, the snow jeep was first unveiled to the civilian public, which stood around bug. eyed watching 1t dash over i6-foot drifts so soft they would have begged e snowshoe rabbit.
 Gotta have me one of those after the war;" asserted 0 griSSled prospeetor, who ct first obviously didn't believe what he was seeing, "Why, dammit, with Q gadget like that I could prospect every river and creek in this part of the north, I could load some grub and Q stove and tent In 1t and go anywhere, It is the doggondest thing since the airplane,"
 The snow jeep took part in es- tahlishing the Normandy beach, head, where 1t was nieknamed the weasel. and Army men who saw t in action state it was Ns effective there as ct Kiska and during the Talkeetna mAneuverS. But their enthusiasm for the queer-looking vehicle doesn't exceed that of the sourdoughs, who state 1t will revo. lutloniSe winter travel in the north and retire Q lot of husky sled dogs.

One More Mark

By his action in opposing a rec
ord vote on the soldiers vote bill, the
Honorable Homer A. Ramey who repre-
sents this cOngressiOn district in the
House of Representatives, has added one
more black mark against his record and
furnished the workers and plain people
whom he is supposed to represent with an
additional reason for defeating him this
year.
Does Mr.. Ramey or any of the other
Republican representatives think they
can fool the people into believing they
will vote for the bill, after they show by
their opposition to a record vote that they
have something to hide?
Does Mr.. Ramey think the people
back in his congressional district are
bunch of morOns and nitwits who can be
deceived by his action in opposing rec
ord vote?
Perhaps the trouble with Mr.. Ramey
and some other representatives of the
people is that they have been deceived into
a false feeling Of political security which
their election in 1912 does not really war
rant. They think they are riding the
crest of the wave of reaction; but they are
riding to fall in the trough.
Mr. Ramey and his kind seem to be-
lieve that labor is on the defensive, be-
cause they and the other lackeys of big
business are threatening with anti-labor
legislation. They will be rudeIy awakened
i'm November.
