THE TRUTH ABOUT
GERMANY
By MARIE BONINI BROWN
A Forbidden Trip Through the Air Over
the Battle Lines —"Looping the Loop"
Not very Terrifying
No. 7 —Over the Battle Lines in an Aeroplane.
One of my most thrilling memories of the three years and
over that I spent in Germany and one at which even now I catch
my breath, when I think of it, was my flight in a German aero
plane over the Austrian and Italian battle lines.
I took the flight Aug. i 5, 1916, while I was 1
in Munich, in the southern part of Germany.
I was in Munich about two weeks. This was
before the United States had entered the war, of
course; for after that I was not permitted to
leave Berlin, until I went home. T
On the street one day a girl friend and my
self were talking in English, and talking very jM j
low so people could not hear us. But a German a
officer passing heard some of our words and fT / - gl
stopped. |/>jT - V
"You are American," he said to me with a 1 jjj
"Yes," I said, and wondered Just
what was going to happen for I got
so us>ed to thinking I might be ar
rested (although I never was) that I
was prepared for it all the time.
But he held out his hand, "I lived
aeyen years in Chicago," he said,
"and I am glad to meet any person
from America."
The man was Capt. Wever and he
then was training in the aviation
corps. He had been training only a
fow weeks, but, one day when w
were talking of aeroplaning, I said
I would like to go up in an aero
plane.
"Wouldn't you be afraid?" he
asked me.
"Just give me the chance," I said,
"and I'll show you."
He did. It was forbidden that any
person should go with an officer, anil
in addition to this, it was dangerous
as he knew comparatively little about
aviation. But he said he would take
me, and I would have taken any
chance to get to go.
My girl friend tried to dissaude
me. When she could not, she said,
"Well, at least, if you are killed, 1
will testify that you went of your
own free will."
READY FOR THE VOYAGE.
Capt. Wever flew from 4 to 10 a. m.
•nd from 0 to 10 p. m. He took me
on one of the morning flights.
I was up long before daybreak,
trembling and too excited to eat. Bijt
ho told mo to eat something, as 1
might get "airsick" if I did not.
"Airsickness" corresponds to sea
sickness, and, I am told, causes much
the same dincomfort, I did not get
airsick, so I cannot ray.
Capt. Wever ivim waiting; for me lit
4 n. 111. with n machine. He did not
Bo to tlie cninp with me a* that
would liare made my trip too eon
nplcnouA and he did not want any
person to know I was roliik.
The camp wan called ••Schllrslielm"
and wan about 8 or 10 miles out of
Munich. I don't know how many
aeroplnnen were there, but they run
Into the hundred*.
Capt. Wevcr hurried to the camp
before I pot there. I was In a tax!
eah. I had the cab stop about a half
mile from the camp and I got out.
I hurried across the field. When 1
reached Capt. VVever he had the
leather coat and hood which T was to
wear, ready for me. He hurriedly
helped me off with my own coat. 1
pulled oft my hat and thrust both
garments under the seat in the areo
plane. Then he buttoned the bil?
leather coat on me and tied down the
hood, which had heavy flaps over the
ears.
A TRIP THROUGH THE CLOUDS.
I climbed into the machine, both he
and I afraid every second some per
son would come and discover I was
a stranger and forbid him to take
me. In the I sat in front,
he behind m<\ and a littlo above me
so he could look over my head. I
was strapped in the seat. I was
afraid every minute—not of the ma
chine. but that some person would
stop us before we pot well rtarted.
But no f.ne did. Evidently they alt
thought that Capt. Wever simply had
a workman with him, for every per
son was too busy to watch any per-
Hon else.
When we flrst rose off the ground
I caught my breath for then I real
ized that I might never come back.
I knew we wore going- over the
enemy lines. But I was in for it, so
I took my courage In both hands,
gritted my teeth and "sat tight."
We had to rise 3.000 feet In the air
and stay at that height most of the
time, as the ascent was made over
the Tyrol mountains. The air cur
rents between and among these
mountains and the suction are so
strong that a lower level Is thor
oughly unsafe.
As vve row, I could nee the Itallnn

CUMBERLAND
Suit of Valley Railways
Company Against Borough
of Mechanicsburg Argued
Carlisle, £a., Sept. 22.—Another
chapter in the history of the con
troversy between the Valley Railways
Company and the horough of Me
chanicsburg, was written when the
argument in an equity suit brought
by the corporation to secure an in
junction restraining collections and
to have the ordinance for a higher
street rental declared null and void.
Judge McPherson was here yes
terday for a special all-day session
of court when the case was present
ed. Charles Bergner, of Harrlsburg,
leading counsel for the corporation,
conducted the argument. He declar
ed that the borough had no power
to set the sum of rental at $1,200,
as was done by an ordinance passed
in 1914, but could collect purely a
license tax. He claimed further that
the company considered the new sum
exorbitant. Attorneys for the bor
ough said that the sum was just, in
view of the fact that it amounted to
but four cents for each car through
the.town and that Shiremanstown, a
community with a population one
eighth that of Mechanicsburg, got
$l5O annually.
Judge McPherson will later give
a decision. Decisions in several other
suits covering the same ordinance,
are held up pending the decision of
the courts on the one heard here.
$25,000 FOR HOSPITAL DF.RT
Carlisle, Pa., Sept. 22.—8y a spe

of the debt of the Carlisle Hospital,
leaving but $30,000, the amount of
the mortgage, yet remaining. Of
this sum $17,000 was contributed
by two local men.

Capt Wever touched me on the shoul
der In warning. I did not know what
was coming so braced myself for
whatever it would be. It was a quick
drop from the clouds. When an avia
tor decides to come back to earth he
simply comes. I don't know how far
we dropped, but when I got my breath
and could see again, we were gliding
along smoothly within a short dis
tance of the ground.
When we lit we bounced along for
a hundred feet or so before we rolled
easily. As soon as the aeroplane
touched the ground, Capt. Wever
touched my coat as though to tell me
to hurry and get It off. I obeyed
him. When I first took off the hood
I could not hear for a minute or so.
Just as soon as the machine stopped
I jumped out, grabbed my coat and
hat and hurried away as fast as I
could.
We landed about 8 a. m., and, as I
was hurrying away, I saw we had
landed in a golf links. I had to walk
back to Munich, of course, but I was
so glad of my experience that I did
not mind that.
I had gotten away without any per
son suspecting that a stranger, and
an American at that, had taken a
trip in a German aeroplatfe over the
firing lines.
For fear that I may be thought In
discreet in exposing Capt. Wever's
kindness, I want to say that only
two weeks after I dew with him he
was killed in the very machine in
which he had taken trie. Both he and
the machine were broken to pieces. I
never would have betrayed his kind
ness had he lived.' for I know what
it would have meant to him had the
government found out what he did.

letic association, the members of the
senior class have set a record that
has never before been eualqed. One
hundred per cent of the members
of the fourth year class have given
their "two bits" for membership,
which makes them eligible for a

the direction of the organization.
The Tech mandolin and guitar club
that was inaugurated last winter and
made a big hit at its concert, met
with Professor W. D. Moyer in the
third floor study hall last evening
and decided to hold regular prac
tices every Thursday. While fifteen
turned out for the first meeting it is
expected that many of the first year

Wilbur Nisley, Roy Deimler, Henry
Young, Jeff Colo, David Rosenberg.
Fred Essig, Harold Cassel, Richard

I gard Tech as of championship cali
] ber, and are anxious to meet Tech
this year on March field. Tech won
here last year by two touchdowns.
Professor A. M. Lindsay started
drilling the school yesterday on the
selection, "The' Lost Chord." The
j singing this year is better than ever,
with almost 700 boys responding to
, the chorister.
The orchestra this morning con
sisted of four cornets, one trombone,
pianist, one flute, five clarionets, one
viola and ten violins. Their playing
does much to enliven the singing. At
dismissal they are always ready with
a racy march.
Almost 100 books have been do-
I nated so far to be turned over to tho
soldiers for reading. Tech students
j are going to make another drive on
their libraries during the week-end
to bring in duplicates and extra
! books for the collection.

of these nationalities going with the
first twenty men to-morrow.

Col. Roosevelt Brands
LaFollette as Copperhead
Chicago, Sept. 22. Theodore]
Roosevelt believes that Secretary!
Lansing's expose of Former Ambas- j
sador Von Bernstorft's plotting is 100
per cent. true. He said as much a!
moment after he had leaped from a I
Lake Shore train yesterday. In the |
next breath he branded Senator La-'
Follette, of Wisconsin, as the " grand
American neo-copperhead." He said:
"The government from the highest
to the lowest, must have known what
Germany has been doing and cer
tainly after Dumba, Boy-Ed and Von
Papcn were expelled, all well inform
ed men have realized that Germany
has stooped at nothing to accom
plish her purpose.
"True? Of course they are true,"
the Colonel replied to a query as to
his view of the authenticity of Sec
retary Lansing's exposures.
"It is no secret in high places that
German money has been used right
and left. Sometimes through the so
called pacifist organizations, some
times otherwise."
"What about LaFollette," the
Colonel was asked.
"I haven't read his latest speech,
I don't have to," he answered with a
characteristic gesture. "I know that
LaFollette, in these times, outshines
the arch copperhead of Civil War
days. I may say that LaFollette is
the grand American neo-copper
head." I

DICTIONARY PLAN
IS APPRECIATED
Readers Must Act Promptly
as the Supply Is
Dwindling
The great demand for The New
Universities Dictionary being offered
by this paper to its readers has re
duced the supply almost to the point
of exhaustion. Those who have not
jet secured a copy should present
their coupons at once if they do not
want to be disappointed.
It is gratifying to note the ap
preciation of the offer by readers and
the eagerness they have shown to
take advantage of it.
The book is wholly deserving the
success which is attending its distri
bution. It has been many years since
the public has been given an actually
new dictionary. The New Universi
ties Dictionary is new in all the word
implies—new in type, new in con
tents and new in the arrangement of
helps to the study of words and
their usage.
It is a dictionary for the masses
of the neopie. It embraces all the
words that will ever be needed by the
ordinary reader or student and at the.
scute time the scientific student or
scholar will find words in this dic
tionary that arc not to be found in
an> other printed in the English lan
guage.
