SATURDAY EVENING, FLYING WITH SHAFFER DOING PARIS fjKTTERS FROM A DAUPHIN BOY TO lIIS MOTHER Plessis-Belvedelie Feb. 10, 1918 Dear Mother: Left the front two Says ago and am now here learning to fly the Mo rane monoplane. Two days, I should say that were well filled with experiences, the principal one being a bath, which by the way, nearly proved my undoing, for I nearly sot sick the next day. So much for be ing "painfully clean," for that could have been literally translated on Saturday. Before I go any further I better tell you that the box of candy you sent after Christmas containing part of your can, arrived at the esca drille right before I left, also a two pound box of wonderful chocolates. I was sure glad when orders came for us to leave. We stayed in Paris over night, arriving there about 3.30 p. m., but I can't say I enjoyed it so much, as I spent most of that time —and 10 fanes—trying to cash that money order. Tried the Y. M. C. A. first, but it seems I arrived before office hours, which was 4 p. m., and since explanations as to my need for hurry had no effect. I turned to the Y. M. C. A. "cantine" for consolation since it was then only 3 a. m. Oh, no, X didn't throw my sorrow in drink, although I did try hard to do it on ice cream, but neither flattery nor bribery would get me more than one plate of that rare delicacy, and I used both quite freely. But the limit was one plate per man and the maiden stuck firm to orders, which rather took some of the wind of con ceit out of my sails, since I counted on my flattery (or salve, just as you have it), and my being an aviator to help some. But since both failed I had to fill up on hot chocolate and, cakes to the tune of four francs. Meanwhile I persuaded the "petite femme" to sit down and talk to me a while in my home tongue. The conversation became very amusing, for she wanted to know all about flying and in particular, why a puff of wind did not knock us over. That made me laugh aplenty! To hear her talk one would think I was floating around like a maple leaf instead of sailing serenely along at three miles a minute or more. Four A. m. came and I tried to cash the order. Noth ing stirring, so I tried the aviation quarters. Stung again! But they gave me the address of the Amer ican Post Office and spelled the name of the street wrong, which necessi tated me doing some detective work before finally discoevring it. Taxies Beat Shrapnel Take it from me, Dad, 1 was in more danger dodging traffic in Paris than I ever was shrapnel.' After a man dodges Paris traffic for awhile I see no reason why he should '.iot make a good aviator, for it takes both nerve and a cool head, not to mention a thorough knowledge of eccentric dancing, to cross one of these busy streets. Fortunately, when I arrived at the Y. M. A. hotel I found Putman, my roommate, there, and took ad vantage of the opportunity to have him explain the motor of the Mo rane to me, for you remember I told you 1 was the only American left where the first lot left for their new] "zangs" and I could see trouble ahead if someone who spoke English didn't explain things to me. There fore Putman was a Godsend, and after he had explained everything Ihoroughly it seemed very easy. He was greatly elated over the spoed and climbing ability of the Morane and told me how nicely it worked in the air. Having received all this useful information. I fortified my self with a good dinner and took that eventful bath. Speaking about that dinner, there was such a long tipie between courses that one had time to digest the preceding one and get hungry again. It would have been lovely with some pretty chicken on I the other side of the table. On the J other hand I saw two wounded Americans, one with a leg gone and the other with a broken arm. It was not a very pleasing sight, of co,ui\se,! but these fellows had been in the fight. The next morning I Wad to get out at 5 a. m. to catch a train for Ples sis and no sooner had we arrived than the usual red tape commenced —that tiresome process of having a paper signed at a dozeh different offices situated in different parts of the country, telling them your rank, making your will and where you want your body sent. These ques-, tions have been asked me so many times that an interpreter isn't nec essary any more. Some Speed A handsome lieutenant was in charge and he surprised me with the speed with which we were started training, for that same afternoon the little one winged bird was wheeled out by the proud mechanics who we had brought with us, and flying com menced. I say proud because we are the envy of every aviator who sees our "zanfr," for it is very tiny, re minding one of a mosquito or a wasp. Judging from the way the latter insect loved me during my boyhood days, you would never think I would come close to anything re sembling it, let alone climb aboard, and fly it. I said it was tiny, but jt is so beautifully proportioned and the lines so racy-looking that a more beautiful "zang" was never built. Indeed, when I say we are en-1 vied I put it mildly, for every one wants to get in the escadrille now, not only because the "zang" is so strong, pretty and fast, but because we are the first escadrille of this type. Every one used to gape with awe at a spad (I'll never forget how it awed me the first time I saw it), but not anymore. Let our little Mo rane come noisily out, for like most small things it makes a great noise, and everyone loses interest in the Spad, as they watch one of we privi leged ones! climb aboard and go shooting into the air like the tail of Haley's comet, for it's possible to climb vertically with them. Yes, and I got aboard this speedy bird that same afternoon and from that experi ence I see no season to change my statement of being aboard a bullet, for she sure Is fast, passing every thing on the road. One never notices the speed while In the air and I ambled merrily along, getting the hang of the motor and "feel" of the plane, but when I came down to land then I knew I was making "some" time, and I'm quite sure I ran along the ground a half mile before I stopped. They al ways give, us two rides in a row, so up T weni again, and began to feel more at home since I had gotten away with one landing, but it cer tainly was queer to look out over the side and see no lower wing. This bothers one when landing, because not having a second wing near the ground one cannot see when he is tipping upon one wing, whirh same Is liable to put one on one wheel, or his ear. so we furnished the numer ous pilot' assembled for Spad train ing much amusement as we ran along the ground rather wobbly, try ing to feel our However, none of us smashed up and that's some consolation, but the captain of the Bchool buttonholed us this afternoon j and told us we had to land quicker —that is, not run along the ground so far before stopping else he would change us to Nleuports. This didn't seem to faze the other fellows any, for one of them pro ceeded to tell us the story about said captain showing the lirst batch from our escadrille how to land—and <,top quick. He did too, but he "smashed up" and that rather gave us the laugh on him. Certainly not, we did not laugh to his face. That would be against military etiquette, as well as get one a jail sentence. An Unearthly Hour All that happened Saturday, end to-day is Sunday, and for a wonder, it was made a' day of rest—half of it anyway. However, I did not know of it and showed up at the field as per orders at 7 a. m. —a most un earthly hour for me. After hang ing around the field-for an hour or sc I gave it up and "cherche" 3ome breakfast. I don't know whether X have commented on it before, but the number of crows that inhabit this field is enormous. They must be drawn by the cosmopolitan flock of man-made birds always sailing around here. And it has amused me quite often to watch them endeavor to imitate some of our acrobatics. Honestly, I believe they are jealous. Even at that they can show us a few —and their motor never gives them trouble, either. Had a dickens of a time finding a room, but finally found one, and it sure has some soft bed, surely its minus fire, but such a trifle don't worry me any more, and it's getting near summer anyway, although my birthday is closer—are you going to make the usual freezer of ice cream to celebrate my old age, and may I have more than one plate? They have a young boy here about 7 or 8 years old and he always gives me a military salute whenever I arrive. Of course, 1 get a number of salutes now and again for every infantry soldier regards one of we aviators with awe and purely out of respect salutes us, but this kid saluting amused me exceedingly. He did it so well for one 30 young, you know. There is one chiirch in the town and that is how I knew to-day was Sun day, as every one was going to church. No, I am sorry to say I didn't go. because I just found this room when the bell was ringing. I did not fly to-day although wo went out to the "piste" (field) in the afternoon. But something got wrong with the motor on the first trip and they spent the rest of the day fix ing it, while we fumed and fretted around at the delay, because we ex pect to leave Tuesday and I for one would like to learn al few more things about it. The usual Sunday crowd walked up and down the road which runs nearby and gaped in the usual wan dering way at the antics of some acrobatic Spad, or the many differ ent types of planes flying, for every type of plane is represented here from the tiny, fast Morane to the double-motored, enormous photo planes. You notice that for once I am on top the heap, for the Zang is not made yet the equal of the Mo rane, either for speed or beauty. Thinkjng it was bed time, looked at my watch. It's only 8 p. m., but I think this will last you awhile. Be sides something more will have to happen before I continue. WALTER. Baek Again Somewhere in France, Feb. 17, 1918. Dear Mother: Back home again and glad to be here, even if it is awful cold. Of course, I have nothing against Paris, but it takes money to live there— and enjoy one's self even in my eco nomic way. Let's see, now, where did I leave off telling you my woes? Oh yes, I remember now that I wrote you several letters from Plessis Belli velle. We only stayed there about four days, two of those in which we did not fly on account of the fog, to when good weather came we were rushed through our training quickly so that when the captain arrived on the fourth day we were unanimous in our opinion that we could handle our new bird. The fact that none of us had broken anything pleased the captain mightily, and for that rea son he said we could have a day and a half in Paris. That tickled the Frenchmen me also, because I wanted another thorough (even if painful) bath. Come to think of it though, one of the fellows nearly had an accident, as he. ran into some tele graph wires coming down to land one time. That is the one bad fea ture about the field at Plessis—those wires which run along the road near by. One could not ask for a smooth er landing place—the field, I mean, not the wires—for the field is as smooth as a billiard table, but when the wind blows from the west, one must come down over these wires to land, and many are the pilots who smash up because they tried to skim the wires too close. This was my comrade's trouble, only I thought l\.e was past the wires, when suddenly the little plane staggered as if it had been struck with a club, something snapped with a loud twang, and the machine came wobbling down to earth, as the pilot quickly regained control. The only damage caused was a cut in ths propellor where the wire hit, which says a lot for the strength of this little Pegasus. Tak ing no chances though, they chang ed the propeller, and we were soon sailing around again, only it was no ticeable that nobody skimed those wires close any more. I know when my turn came, I gave them a wide berth, although judging their height was made easier by a workman on one of the poles fixing the broken wire. After a trip or so, I came prstty close to said workman as I came sinking down to a landing. Money and Medals Got into Paris this afternoon and I made tracks for Doctor Gross' of fice for some money, besides they were giving out gold badges to the Lafayette Flying Corps and I wanted mine. The allowance you know has been cut down to 100 francs for some time, but that looked like a lot of money to me, and I wasn't passing up any chances to get more. I re ceived the hadge and money. The badge is very pretty, being of gold and the design being an eagle with outstretched wings standing on a propeller. Two flags are draped over the wings which gives the pin a wreath effect. Indeed, it's much pret tier than the French "brevet" pin, but I want the French one just the same as it staqds for more in official circles. Space seems to be at a pre mium at aviation headquarters he cause I found Doc. Gross' stenog rapher In the bathroom. Say! don't look so shocked! That was her of fice, and it amused me exceedingly. Of course. I couldn't help kidding her about it, and being a French girl, even if she did speak English fluently, she 'didn't mind. One re-' mark led to another, and finally tak ing pity on my lonely condition, and: laughing at my disgusted remark) that 1 was sick and tired of looking at and talking to men—always nen, I she gave me the address of a nice] French girl, with instructions to call on her the next night. Could she talk English? Yes, just a bit. This listened good, and being used to tak ing chances, this looked like one that might bring considerable pleas ure. The only thing that made me hesi tate was the thought that she might not be pretty. But that just added one more big hazard to the adven ture, so I decided to have a look, anyway. At least, I might learn some more French for I have been here long enough to know what the expression "she knows a little Eng lish means." The emphasis is on "little," and their knowledge general ly consists of "yes" and "no" and "thank you." Of course, my French don't total much higher, but you know the saying "Fotols rush in where angels fear to tread," and X was certainly meditating some "rush ing," and considering my knowledge of French it sure was foolish. Preparations For livening However, 1 prepared as well as I could and since I then had some 30u l'rancs I began a still hunt for a pair of aviator's boots. This required all morning and part of the afternoon, during which time I walked over greater part of Paris, I think. And then when I did find the kind antl style I* wanted, for I am still &s finicky as ever about my wearing appareU I discovered the calf of my leg was too big for the standard size. The clerk seemed to think that was an indication of a strong man. Whether that was flattery or not is a question. At least, it didn't effect any reduction in the bill for t'na pair I had made to order. I would not dare tell you how much that bill was for you would have heart failure sure. Anyway, it put an awful hole in my bankroll and being out on a shopping spree I thought I might as well spend the rest, for I wanted a helmet, one of those soft leather kind that fit close to the head. They don't have any safety features of course, but they sure lessen wind re sistance, and that's a big factor in thdse speedy Zang's. Stick your head out from behind the windshield with one of those big, cumbersome, head saving helmets of school days, and the force of the wind is likely to snap your neck, while with the kind I want one might get his goggles blowti off, but there would not be enough head to make resistance. I went into one of the big stores to get this article, and ask for an, enter preter. The floor walker had some trouble finding her and meanwhile seveial clerks gathered around, and seeing I understood some things they said they thought I was joking, and had quite a lot of fun over the fact. In fact, the floor walker was kept busy sending girls back to their counters, for I seemed to be drawing quitq a few of the dears," who were curi ous to see this strange animal who had wandered into their midst with out a guide or protector and spoke such funny French. Even when I did find the right department they did not have the kind I wanted, so I must hunt somewhel-e else. How ever, I finally discovered what I wanted, bought a clean collar and a shoe shine for my "night raid," map ped out on the subway my route to her house, for taxiesi were getting too high for me, fortified myself witn a good dinner and a bath and de scended on that unsuspecting family. Rather I should say, ascended, for X had to climb to the fifth floor to find the apartment. (They are run the same way as New York). And then I stood outside the door,* "sans," wind, nerve and words. I'll frankly admit I was a hundred times as cool the first time I tried a "Veille" than I was right then. Anyway, I liad climbed that far, so I was going to see it through, and giving the bell a yank, I waited for developments. Tl' Fat Maid They soon fcppeaVed in the shape of a fat maid. "Oh, Lord!" thfnks I, this is the lady and she's fat. 1 had a wild desire to beat it while I still had the chance, for I imagine one could slide down those banisters pretty fast but that Shaffer trait of finishing anything begun made me stick to the ship even if it was sink ing under the disappointment of a fat and homely lady. Pretty soon I had found my voice and spilled the sentence I had prepared and was be ing ushered into the library there to ponder a few minutes on whether the aforesaid fat lady was going to entertain me. It seemed not, for soon a cute, little ohicken entered and welcomed me with the hand shake of a boy and the excited air of a girl with her first beau. Of course, you won't understand how I could tell that air, but I bet Dad can—ask him! She was Just a kid, not pretty enough to fall in love with, but cute enough to suit the most exacting man—and she would only talk in French. Whether the fact that such big game, an aviator and 'an American had arrived at her door frightened all her English away I don't know, but the fact remains that the con versation ran along in French the whole evening. And I was surprised how large a vocabulary I really had. Taking it all in all, I had a most amusing evening, even if the joke was on me, because I furnished the whole family with amusement in my vain attempt to pronounce the French "u." Sure, there was some more to the family, a young boy about 10, and a fat sister. Fortunate ly, I directed my attention to the slim, cute one, only In a conversa tional way, of course, for mother stuck right by all evening, as well as stout sister: and your promising son did not even have a chance to squeeze her hand, let alone her waist. Not that I wanted to, you know, for I am still a good little boy. Anyway, I caught the last subway train, which by the way, closes aw ful early—ll p. m., quite pleased with myself and the little experience I had had. Brand Now Flyers The next morning I left for a small village where all the new Zangs are brought, to get mine and try it out. One would have to be an aviator to appreciate the beauty of this place for every Zang is brand new, not even a splotch of oil on the brand new paint. I soon found my little wagon, as spic and span as a new pin. Naturally I had it filled with oil and gas right away, but unfortunately I could not try it out that day, as it would not go right. It certainly is an improvement on any- other type I have ever ridden In, in the way of comfort for the aviator. A board rests right in front of one with for Till his instruments and there even were two spirit levels, one to tell when the gong tipped to right or left, and one for up and down. Both of which are mounted wrong, for I have flown long enough to know without instrument when [ am level. The "stick" is a little dif ferent, not being like the usual straight kind with the contact but ton on the top, but being the usually straight type with a square arrange ment on the top, so one can grip jt four ways. Another feature was thej little cabinet right back of the seat where one can carry his uniform traveling for it's uite bigq—for an traveling,fo r it's quite big—for an airplane. Her Big Brother Not having flown that day I .vent back to Paris and naturally made an other call of my cute French pro fessor. This time 1 found another member of the family, a big brother,] RAILROAD RUMBLES M.B. A.

He was a handsome, lively fellow, and his sisters bothered him nearly as much as my sisters do me when 1 am home. He asked me if I had sisters, and 1 answered I sure had, only worse. I had received a number of papers per taining to instructions about the camp that day, and not understand ing some parts of them, I had my "professor" explain them. The fact that she, explained them in French amused big brother very much —and it was the evening of the second day, and once again I caught the last sub way train, at 10.30. Next morning out again to the camp I went and despite the low hanging fog and a missing engine, made two flights, coming down each lime with a broken wire in the en gine. It ran alright though, and the wire was quickly replaced, but owing to a lot of red tape I could not leave for camp that day, as I wanted to. However, there was nothing for it but that I go to Paris again. -You're all wrong though, for I did not call on the professor "ensore," utilizing the evening by attending a moving picture show which is noted for its beautiful women patrons. All the beauties in Paris must come there, for there sure are some wondrous locking women there. Of course, that don't sound like a wild time to you, but my way of enjoying myself surprises many people, but I guess you can understand. Anyway, the next day I waded through all the red tape with the aid of the lieutenant of the escadrille, and filling up my little cabinet with overcoat, cap and other junk, I was first into the air on my way with two others to the escadrille. The motor worked rot ten from the start, but I refused to come down and see what was the matter. "Darn it all," thinks I, "as long as this motor runs I'm going to head towards the escadrille head quarters." So I kept on circling around the "piste," dodging slower Zangs, and waiting for the other two fellows to come up, as I had no map, so was going to follow one of the other fellows. No Safety Belt That wasn't all, cither, for I had no safety belt either —neither did the other fellows for that matter, be cause we did not get these things, viz., map, motor coverings, safety belt and map holder, until we left. Incidentally, I had tried out the Zang during those two flights without a belt, not that I wanted to, for T rec ognized the danger if I turned tur tle on laridlng, but there was noth ing else to do. So I did without. Na turally, I didn't try any fancy stunts, but just the same I didn't like flying without one, for if I went in "panne" things might have turned out bad. So when we headed alon gthe Seine for "home" I had an eye for pos sible landing places, for my motor was stiH acting like a girl who don't know whether she is going to let you kiss her good-night or not. For an hour we flew steadily and my feet were nearly numb with col'l, as I had forgotten to bring my fur shoes, and then the camp hove in sight and I heaved a sigh of relief — and immediately the motor stopped. Gasoline was all, and I couldn't make camp, not being high enough, so landed in a plowed field near by and fortunately made a perfect landing, else I would have surely upset. lam still wondering how I did it, nut T say with surprise that when tin motor stopped I wasn't even scared, simply shut off the gas, and cut the ■ ontuct and making a sharp turn near the ground ran along the ground r.nd stopped in the middle of the plowed ground. It is a good thing the soil was frozen, else the wheels would surelv have sunk and I upset. So you see lam still lucky. WAL.TER. Hold Pacific Trains at American Border Montreal, March 30. Canadian Pa cific trains will be delayed one hour at tho American border beginning April 1, to conform to the daylight saving schedule of the United States, according to an announcement by the railroad company yesterday.
