16 Flying With Shaffer The Disappearing Hun LETTERS FROM A DAUPHIN BOY TO HJS MOTHIiR Escadrllle Spad 38 Secteur Postal 12 June 15, 1918. Dear Mother: These letters are getting: to be more like a diary than correspond ence, but things happen so often lately that my pen won't keep up ■with events. If I usefl to kick at the lack of flying or excitement, I surely am getting enough and to spare now, for it's quite the usual thing to yank us out of bed at 4 a. m. every morning. The Huns are early worms and we of necessity must be early birds. Yesterday morning we were awak ened—l say. awakened because if my mechanic did not shake me I never would wake up on time —at 4 a. m., but the clouds were so thick and low that we did not go up, so it was back to the hay for everyone, and thus I caught up on the sleep end. Later in the afternoon though it cleared up a little bit. The clouds were still thick, plentiful and numer ous but were considerable higher than in the morning, so a patrol of four of us were sent aloft with Put nam as leader. About 1,500 meters was as high as we could get and even then wo were continually passing in and out clouds. To say it was dangerous, would be putting it mildly, for If one's motor quit on him at such a low altitude he sure would be out of luck, as his only landing ground would be the trenches —if he even made them—which some are not as smooth as an aviator would wish for landing. And then flying in close formation as we were, going through clouds continually, there was the danger of running into each other, for when one is inside a cloud all sense of direction ana "air feel" is gone and all one can do Is hit the cloud straight and let the controls alone until he comes out the other side. Three-fourths of the time I could not see the leader. Just a Pik And good food- Good mu tic. ind vV'l 21 stories Above XX s \ NJ ImikMocLmiA/ I RESORTS ATLANTIC CITY, N. J. HOTEL. ST.

But we kept our formation very good, each machine in its alloted place, turning aside for nothing and keeping straight on down the lines. Plenty to Do Even with watching my compass, leader and motor I BtUI found time to enjoy rare scenery. It was like having a moving picture unrolled beneath one, with the blank spaces when we went through clouds. There were considerable blank spaces and no advertisements written on them to entertain one while - passing through either. Thus we flew along while we came to Rhelms. Right near there Is a mighty good battery of German "Archies" and he got busy "tout de suite." With our low altitude we were "pie" for htm and he soon hid "Archie" barking uncomfortably close, but since we eouid not Jump out of range on account of the clouds there was nothing to do but keep going. Pussing through clouds us often as we were we threw "Archie's" aim off considerable hut < he still kept barking away, shooting in the clouds where we should have been but weren't. Over Rhelms On the west of Rheims. you know, is the newly-acquired territory of the Boches. and it was here we kept heading, soon being away inside of their lines—at an altitude of 1,200 meters. Never before did I realize how much depended on my engine, for if she would have quit then, it would have been a prisoner and bread and water for the duration of the war for "yours truly." But my motor ran like a charm as we con tinued to hump right along, "Archie" giving us a warm welcome all along the line. Once I thought I had lost the pa trol for good, as I went into a cloud which seemed to have no other side. I kept going and going through that white, enveloping vapor and thought 1 would never come out. Finally, getting worried as to my direction and where the others of the patrol might be, I dove down out of it. Fortunately, the patrol was still right ahead and I was soon up in my place again. It was quite inter esting flying this low, for one eould see more of the details of the pano rama laid out below. As usual, we fly very high—6,ooo meters, and from that height the ground just looks like a map and its not at all interesting, except as a guide. We had gone in some twenty miles over this captured territory when we turned around and headed back for Rheims. The Enemy As we arrived over this City our leader suddenly gave the signal that he saw a Boche, and turning right about face he headed for them with we three right behind. They were two "trplace" (two-men) machines and Just the thing we expected to find. True, they were several miles away in their own lines, but what's a mile to a Spud! 80 we were soon near them—and then they saw us. There's not to ask the reason why four Spads were flying Ground in such awful weather, mere's but to ran and dive, which they promptly did. So anxious were they to reach Mother Earth they dove with full motor, a most dangerous proceeding in any machine, so to catch them we had to do likewise. Wires were certainly humming as we tore dow nafter them. Putnam with the best motor in the crowd, soon got behind one and caught It, while X went pell mell after the other, slowly catching up and shoot ing as I came. Out of the corner of m yeje I saw the Hun Putnam was chasing break in the air as I shot past on my way after the other one. After that I was fully occupied with catching my Hun and filling him full of lead. , One of my guns refusad to work at all, although I tried to pull the trigger with both hands. Finally, X gave up trying to make them both work, got the sight in line with the pilot's seat and let go with the other gun. This only made the Hun dive still steeper. I did likewise, always shooting and getting closer all the time. And then a strange thing ' happened—l lost him. He disap i peared completely or my sight, literally as well as figuratively, and there being nothing more to shoot at I pulled up and circled around to see what happened to him, for X was only at 500 meters then. The Disappearing Hun But that Hun seemed to havt dis solved into thin air, fie wasn't any where to be seen and I could not find him on the gruuna In a heap as I wished, or scooting along the ground for home. All this time "Archie" was barking away at me, but I was so Interested hi finding that Hun again T never even tried, to dodge them. Finally giving it up I climbed up through the shrapnel and Joined my three comrades who were circling around overhead. As I think of it now, losing that Hun was a very simple matter to do, for he was "camouflaged" most effectively, for the ground he was flying over was a sort of whitish col or with dark lattice-work lines run ning over his wings. Whether he was using any thought at all is a question, buc, if diving toward that canal was done on purpose, his was a good thought, for the canal only had a little water in It and tne white chulk-colored ground, which is prev alent in this regioh and which lined Its sides, was the exact shade of that Hun's wings. With that as a background and looking through three glasses—my goggles, the wind shield and the telescope sight—as I was, about all I could see was the body, and that dimly. But it was the pilot I wanted to get, so the wings didn't matter. Toward Home There being nothing more to shoot at, our leader led us toward h<jme, but we had not gone far before he signaled again he saw a Boche, turned right around and started back again. This time it was -five "Albatross" fighting planes. They were way In. but, nevertheless, Put nam starts In after them. At first I didn't see them, seeing only an enormous mass of brown smoke In one corner of Rheims. and, since we were heading right for it, I supposed he was flying over it out of pure curi osity. My personal opinion just then of one flying, over that broWn smudge was anything but flattering, for I got a whiff of It and its sweet ish smell and smarting tang on the nose brought thoughts of gas Into my mind right away. Never having smelled gas, I knew no better, and neither did Putnam, for that matter, but he kept right on going, and, since It's an Ironclad rule never to leave your patrol leader, I must needs follow. We were soon right over th© place it was coming from and the cloud of brownish smoke was nearly at our height, but we were on the nam in the clouds. Hy thin tin.-, having been in the clouds so fre quently. my mind was getting a lit tle hazy on direction and, seeing the Frenchman turn around to go back, I followed. It was during this re turn trip that some new fireworks were sprung on us. The "onion" gun. I believe it is called. X had just read of it lately in an article in the Post, written by a British flier, but this was the first time J had Seen it in action. I? It had been night. It would have made a pretty sight, I Imagine, for It reminded me of a lot of Boman candles going oft Since none was coming very close, it amused me to think that, although I had seen many Fourth of, July cele brations. this was the first time I had eiter been up where they went off, and, as for having "onions" thrown at onfe, no actor was ever ap plauded more thoroughly. "Onion" is, Indeed, a gpod word for this par ticular shell, as it.looks exactly like one, even to the stem and top as it comes hissing up to meet you. Having been out nearly two hours, the Frenchman and I went home, Putnam arriving nearly the same time. He had finally reached the Huns, but they turned and ran far ther Into their lines, so ho turned around to come hack. As he did so, he noticed a balloon right in front of hiin and opened fire, only shooting four shots, when it went up In flames. It was probably as big a surprise to .him as to tho Huns be cause he had no incendiary bullets and not even a tracer had entered the balloon. It was his belief that one of the Huns' own shrapnel shells hit It, for "Archies" were bursting all around-Jitm at the time. Putman's Victory Confirmed Anyway, this is .Sunday, and this morning contlrmatnon of Putnam's Hun and balloon came in. but up to Dives, Pomeroy & Stewart - Store News For Friday Reveals Noteworthy Thrift Items i 1( —- ]C - , No Friday Special.

I Steelton News Items Consumers Now Carry Ice to Their Homes The new order compelling ice consumers to carry ice to their homes, wont into effect this morn ing in the borough. The various sub statiane of the United Ice and Coal Company and Detweller Brothers were busy the best part of the morning. Women came with wagons and baskets and children came with home-made carts to get the Ice homo. There were many complaints but dissatisfied customers were not given any sympathy rrom the deal ers, The ruling was made to enable dealers to place the labor demand- J ed to do this work on coal deliv eries. . j "Get-Together" Meetings For Laborers at Grove Meetings for the purpose of en- J listing the support of every colored laborer in putting the local plant in the 100 per cent, efficiency class were held at Locust Grove, the plant labor camp, last night and this morning. The laborers were very enthusiastic and were free with their singing of patriotic airs. Last even ing's meeting was held at 7.30, while to-day's session was called at 8.30 o'clock. Among the speakers at the meetings were: The Rev. O. P. Goodwin, Dr. High H. Haklns and Attorney P. L. Nutter, of Atlantic City. Lieutenant George L.

He assumed his new -i duties to-day. 1 s J BIRTH ANNOUNCEMENT 1| Mr. and Mrs. Harry Bufflngion, Bi North Third street, announce tho s birth of a daughter, Beatrice May, i. Wednesday, July 31, 1918. NEW ORDER MAY AFFECT PLANT Iron Age, in Weekly Issue, Discusses Plans Concern ing Steel Plants The local steel plant in all proba bility will be aft octed by a new order which the Iron Age to-day says will be issued at Washington to increase the allotment of steel to I shipyards, in view of the enlarging | program for the Schwab drive. The' Steelton plant, has been furnishing! j products for this work and will ] j likely be called upon to increase the i I allotment in the near future. The Iron Age to-day also comments on I a. 10 per cent, wage ( increase of the Steel Corporation and says that in dependent companie are likely to make similar advances in wages. A similar wage increase becomes effec tive at the local plant to-day. Summarizing the situation for the week, the Iron Age says: "A conference in New York Mon day between Government leaders in shipbuilding, the director of steel supply and the steel manufacturers* committee had to do with means of increasing the allotment of steel to shipyards, in viO%* of the enlarging : program for the Schwab drive. At a meeting in Washington later in the week, plans will be made to In sure shipyard work against inter ruption in the coming year, alsp for the prevention of lost motion . through competing efforts of Wash -3 ington departments, tho command- 1 _ j ing general in France and the allies. i "The whole tenor of the confer ljenee talk was that however detailed i/ figures, it is believed the reservdfr fact was he increasing war demand r'or steel and with it an indefinite but inovitablc reduction In the , amount available for other uses, a "The large schedules of steel for , direct and indirect war needs give weight to the claim still widely AUGUST 1,1918. made that all Government agencies concerned have ptit tlxeir require ments at top figures, in spite of re peated requests for, pruning. In short, if deliveries meet schedule titlgures, it is believed the reservoir would be an ever-tilling one, unless the talked-of railroad breakdown should be really serious. The half year's demand for shell steel has risen to .3,000,000 tons, requiring a shipment rate probably 15 per cent, above that now obtaining, and the plate total is close to theoretical ca pacity and about 12 per cent, more than the recent record outputs. "The ten per cent, wage increase announced by the Steel Corporation was a surprise to the independent companies, from which like action may be expected as heretofore. Five other ten per cent, advances in the •past thirty months and one of fif teen per cent make the new wage 103 per cent, higher than that paid on January 1, 1916. The Steel Cor poration pace of wage increase adds to the problem of some small pro ducers. who are pinched by Govern ; ment prices on which the corpora | tion can make large profits." nomrF.R FUNERAL Private funeral services for Ed- I ward Bodmer, of Highspire. who died fat his home on Monday were held this afternoon from his late resi dence.
