Flying With Shaffer
FRENCH "CUSSING"
LEXERS FROM A DAUPHIN BOY TO HIS MOTHER
S. - J
Escadrille Spad 38,
Secteur Postal 240, G. C. 22.
August 2, 1918.
Dear Mother:
Answering your question aS to how
many of the boys that sailed with
me are living, 1 would say that as
far as I know only one has been kill
ed. But the percentage of the others
1 had known in school in killed has
been rather high. And speaking
about getting stung, the Huns seem
to be starting where the bees left
off. Three times have I come back
to roost with numerous holes In my j
plane. Fortunately, so far none have
caused me as much pain as those,
bees of boyhood days.
In my hurry to write down an ac
count of my latest scrap before, I for-!
get the details. 1 neglected to say
that the day before that event I went
"en panne, ' it was a very bad day
to fly as the visibility was very low,
that is, cne could not see far. for
there seemed to be a thick mist 1,000 !
meters thick which from our height,
of 5,000 meters was very hard to see'
through- The day being very sultry j
made our motors heat up very quick- j
ly and I found myself having trouble j
before I reached the lines. The tem-j
perature of my water continued to,
mount and since a Spad flies a water- i
cooled motor this is dangerous after
passing a certain point—9o degrees j
being the point. Even 85 is abnor
mal. and after it reached there I lostj
faith in the cool breezes of the high-|
er atmosphere, and dove for home, |
thinking the rush of cool air might i
bring the temperature down. But'
not such luck. As I continued com-,
ing down the temperature kept go-,
ing up. .which was not according to'
Hoyle at all.
Temperature Goes Higher
Soon I was down to 200 meter and
30 inches from the home roost and
still going up. Suddenly the little
needle which had been mounting
steadily all the time got feverish and
jumped from 83 to 110. I stopped
coaxing the motor to cool down then
looked around for some place to,
land, for 1 had to come down as the
water was boiling hot. There were
plenty of fields under me but the
question was to pick one which was
not filled with grain, as I did not
want to be upset by the high grass.
Fortunately here was a smooth one
nearby and coming down I landed
and rolling along the ground came
to rest just at the edge of a rye field.
Walking to the nearest village I
asked for the Mayor of the town,
and when 1 found him. demanded
two men to guard my machine while
I telephoned to the escadrille for a
mechanic.
Wife to Rescue
The Mayor did not seem to be a
very executive gentleman, but his
spouse took a hold of things and in
formed the commander of a company
of artillery on "repose" there of my
wants. AVith military directness I,
was soon in communication with my
escadrille after that. No. I did not;
do the telephoning for the simple j
reason that I could not pronounce!
the name of the village. The opera-1
tor kindlv spoke for me however, I
while I told him what to say. When!
they learned I was a "pilote de!
hasse" connected with the escadrille |
of Madon nothing would suit them ,
but that I must have dinner with j
them. Imagine a Serg. dining with j
Colonels, Captains and Lieutenants.!

It really was flattering and it was
HUNGARY WANTS
TO GET FREEDOM
FROM AUSTRIANS
Movement For Separation '
Starts at Chicago; American
Peace Plan Approved
Chicago. Sept. 23.—A nation-wide
movement said to be approved by
the federal government and spon
sored by the State Council of De- !
fense, for the separation of Hungary ;
from Austria, was launched by Chi- J
cago's Hungarian colony at a mass
meeting attended by about 2,000 per
sons yesterday. It was planned to
send emissaries to read the propa
ganda of a Hungarian republic ;
among the Hungarian prisoners of I
the French, Italian and Serbian j
fronts.
Among those present at the meet
ing was a delegation of Hungarians
from Akron. Ohio, headed by Dr I
Husko, and Darego Polgar.
"This is our answer to the recent i
plea of Baron Burian." Dr. Husko 1
said. "We will have peace when an
American peace is possible, when
Hungary is once and forever free."
Washington. Sept. 23.—Leaders of
the Czecho-Slovaks, the Jugo Slavs i
and Poles at conferences in Wash- j
ir.gton during the past two week.- ; [
have agreed upon a program of aims j
of tb. oppressed peoples in Austro- ! ;
Plunge ry which has been laid before i
President Wilson. Creation of a new '
central body of the Central Euro-| 1
pean groups which will protect the l
interests of all of them, was fore- ,
cast in the announcement to-day |
of the result of the conference.
President Wilson was assured that '■
not only had the oppressed nation- !
alities within Austro-Hungary sever
ally reached agreements for the for- '
warding of their own nationality
aims, but also had agreed to uphold
the President a.nd the American peo
ple in winning the war.

some meal, starting out with fresl.
sliced tomatoes—something I had
not eaten for ages—with a beef
steak and egg course to follow and
, ending up with blackberry jam and
k cheese. I even had fresh milk to
, drink, which is very difficult to ob
tain even if one is in the country.
• iThey hunted it up when they found
,I I preferred it to wine. The cora
.; mander even wanted to open cham
|' pagne In my honor. I appreciated
I the implied compliment, but I
' > dodged the drinks by saying I ex
-1 pected to fly again that day, which
, | was about the brightest excuse I
cover thought up. Incidentally dur
! ing the meal the commander paid
I me a most flattering compliment, for
I when his orderly asked if he should
i bring a man who spoke English to
! interpret, he remarked that I un
derstood "tres bien." I was getting
! along swimmingly, too, only getting
stuck several times, and then when
1 they changed the wording of the
i sentence I got It. for you understand
! my vocabulary, although workable
is not very large.
About two hours later, my me
| chanics arrived and the village got
; the surprise of its life with actually
seeing an airplane get off the ground.
ITo repay the commander for his
kindness" I did a few stunts over
'■ the village, and then seeing that
! doggone temperature going up again
i headed straight for home, landing
I there safely.
Italians Building Barracks
There are quite a number of Ital
ians around here; for building bar
. racks, roads, etc., you know. Well,
! the other night a few talented mem
-1 bers got together \vith their horns
; and played some mighty fine mu
sic. It tickled the Frenchmen so
; much, it went to their feet, for they
tried all kinds of fancy steps. One
even insisted on doing a two-step
with me. Armed with hobnailed
! shoes as we were and with rocky,
uneven roads for a baltroom floor, it
was anything but a thing of beauty,
i And you can imagine the penalty of
getting out of step.
It's very amusing to hear the
words a Frenchman uses when he
swears. Translated into English, they
iare the most innocent words in the
world. But they make quite a
mouthful in French and that seems
to be the point in cussing—to let
off steam as quickly as possible. The
| cow, the pig. name of a dog! all
these are used in the cussing voca
bulary of the French, and to call
a man a camel is worst of all, and
would probably provoke a duel all
of which goes to show that cussing
! is more in the point of view than
|in what one says. It was several
nights ago that a Frenchman, who
• reminds me of Bud Fisher's Mutt
! more than any other man, got ex
! asperated with his comrade and ex
pressed his contempt by calling him
! "la vache".
That is quite a contemptuousl ex
! pression in France but it wasn't
contemptuous enough to suit him,
so he ask me to translate it into
| English, I obligingly complied, and
! was much amused thereafter by
hearing him proudly and with all
| the emphasis he could master eall
' ing his fellow country man an "old
j cow".
And now I have written a blister
i on my little finger, it's raining again,
and I'm sleepy.

DOING WAR WORK
WHEN ARRESTED
AS GERMAN SPY
Beaver Springs Man Accused
of Aiding Huns; Explains
and Is Released
Beaver Springs. Sept. 23.—T0 vol
unteer for patriotic government serv
ice, to he accepted, and then to be
arrested as a German spy was the
unique experience of Wade McClel
lan. Beaver Springs, who has just re
turned from Newport News with
hatred for the Kaiser jutting out all
over him. McClellan, in company
with Charles E. Keller, also of this
town, went to Newport News to serve
Uncle Sam in government operations
there. He worked hard and earn
estly. he declared, and one evening
after work decided to write the home
folks about himself and his labors.
Just as he finished the second para
graph of the letter something cold
crept up to his temple and. just like
the bad robber in the Jesse James
books, he had a pistol for a telescope
before his eyes. "You are under ar
rest!" he was told, and the march
to the guardhouse began. Friends
of his in Beaver Springs received
"S. O. S." calls for money and after
much explaining McClellan is back
home, with the high resolve that il
he ever gets the Kaiser, Bill 'll have
a terrible black eye.
Kight in line with McClellan's ex
perience is that of a man who gave
his name as James Segrist. Dai
matia. He came to Beaver Springs
last week, posing as a United States
Army officer, having a deserter in
tow. According to the pseudo-offi
cer the two were o ntheir way to
camp where the deserter was to be
penned up in the guard-house. How.
ever when he attempted to show his
authority in the town citizens became
suspicious, both men were arrested
and placed under the care of
Sheriff Charlie Mattern at Middle
burg. to ruminate on the sad turns
of fortune until the next term of
court.
BARGAINS IN SNAKES
Atlanta. Ga., Sept. 23. Wonderful
bargains in snakes! Closing them out
at ridiculously low prices. Rattle
snakes. blncksnakes, moccasins and
other plain and fancy reptiles are
ofTered by Carey Keegin. near Lith
onia. Ga.. at $2.93 for fin king snakes,
marked down from- $3. with equally
astounding slashes in prices on other
varieties. Lack of demand, due,
Carey savs, to the war. has put a de
cided crimp in the snake business.
For the special benefit of bachelors,
chicken shakes will be practically
given away and the ladies will now
be able to secure special quotations
on the garter species. The big sale
is now open. First come, first serv
ed.
REJECTED SIXTEEN TIMES
Sedo, Woo ley. Wash., Sept. 23.
Qutmby R. Bingham, cashier of the

various branches of the service six
teen times he was finally accepted

THE STREET OF SEVEN STARS"
AT THE REGENT TODAY
AND TOMORROW
Student life in the Latin Quarter
lof Paris, the carnival of wlntor
sports at the famous St. Morltz,
Switzerland, and other picturesque j
and thrilling presentation of Euro-1
pean scenes and events of especial ;
interest to the tourist and the ob- !
server are given in all their realism j
in "The Street of Seven Stars," the j
photoplay attraction at the Regent;
Theater to-day and to-morrow, with i
Doris Kenyon heading her own I
company. For story interest and
artistic quality this charming photo- ;
drama is said to be in a class of its
own.
The standard set by Miss Ken- j
yon's company, De Luxe Pictures, j
Inc., is the very highest, and her !
director, John B. O'Brien, was in- J
structed to spare no time, expense
or effort to meet that standard in j
every detail of production.
The story is hy one of the most j
famous of American women writers, ,
Mary Roberts Rinehart. It was '■
published originally in the Saturday |
Evening Post. Since then it has i
had a sale of more' than 250,000;
copies in book form. Recently a j
special Doris Kenyon edition has |
been issued, with an autographed!
photograph of Miss Kenyon on the !
cover and a picture of the author
and the young star as a frontispiece. |
As Harmony Wells, a young Amer-1
lean girl who goes abroa'd to com-1
pjete her musical education. Miss |
Kenyon has a part which charmingly
fits her winsome personality. In'
fact, Mrs. Rinehart has stated that |
she does not know of any other'
American star who could carry the
role so well and so consistently. The j
story is one of tense human appeal,
and is livened with thrilling pas
sages. It squares absolutely with I
the highest standards of clean j
photoplays.
"This is indeed a picture de luxe," !
says Marion Russell, a New York |
reviewer who has made a campaign ;
for clean pictures, "a step forward I
in motion-picture bulding. This un
precedentedly beautiful screen idyl, j
all smiles and tears, will afford i
pleasure to the world at large for I
many a day and should be booked
all over the country."
Navy Is to Get 15,000
Monthly Through Draft
Washington. Sept. 23.—The pro
gram under which the navy and the!
marine corps will secure the men;
hereafter needed was announced;
yesterday by Secretary Daniels. The I
navy is to have an average of 15,000 1
men monthly, while the marine corps!
will get 1,000 monthly for four!
month thereafter.
Of the navy's allotment, it may en
list or enroll men who have special
qualifications for certain navy work,
but the remainder will come from
"the run of the draft," navy officials
culling out skilled men to meet as far
as possible the special needs of the
service.
Men who now hold, or may here-1
after be given deferred classification
on account of dependency, will be
permitted to enlist in the navy, as
the higher pay given is expected to
do away with the possibility of hard
ship to the dependants.
Much the same system will be fol
lowed in enlisting men both in the
navy and marine corps. Men desiring
to enter either the navy or marine
corps will be required to make ap
plication at the recruiting center. I
For Delaware and Pennsylvania it
will bs in Philadelphia.
WILLIE BAXTER AND GEORGE CROOPER
IN BOOTH TARKINGTON'S "SEVENTEEN"
v
THE SERENADE
"Seventeen." a play of youth and love and summertime, is the account
of the heart-wilting rivalry of William Sylvanus Baxter and his youthful
acquaintances for the favor of a summer visitor—a fluffy, baby-talking
alphabetarian In coquetry, a maddening, silly, cooing young thing who
will never stay put. Her train of moonstruck goslings numbers four, all
of a kind in the mortal seriousness of their lovesickness. William pursues
her with ukelele and assails her with poetry, lives out a gloriously
wretched summer in wooing her. and then on the great night of her going
away learns that she does not care for him.
"Soventeen" Is a dramatization of Boath Tarklngton's story of like name,
and comes here direct from a run of eight solid months In ew NYork!
preceded by three months in Chicago. Stuart Walker is sending a remark
able company to the Orpheum. where the delightful comedy will be seen
[for one performance on Friday evening. „ . .

"Fnlr anil pheum to-morrow. "Fair
Warmer" and Warmer" is one of
those plays of whom
everyone has heard and which about J
everyone wants to see.
"Fair and Warmer opened at the j
Eltinge Theater, in New York one
night two seasons ago without an> ■
more preliminary notice than is CMS
tomarv to give any new attraction.
Within twenty-four hours it was the
talk of New York. A more hilarious
ly funnv plot had never been.seen
within the memory of theatergoers
It is said about it that all that is
leeded to insure a packed theater is ,
• to hang out a single card in a con
] spicuous place to herald tile coming
j of the farce.
I Selwyn and Company, who present
i this record-breaker of Avery Hop-

| its presentation here, and the produc

| which the play was first presented
1; in New York, where it ran for cne
, entire year, and in Chicago, where it
, tan for eight months and was only
f j brought to a close in order to fulfill
j contracts made long in advance,
j There is more than usual interest in
I the forthcoming production of "Eyes

. Extraordinary in theme and novel in

A. H. WOODS PRESENTS
The Sensational New York
Corned, Success
"BUSINESS BEFORE PLEASURE" Is Funnier,
Than "POTASH AND PERLMUTTER"
BY MONTAGUE GLASS AND JULES ECKERT GOODMAN
ton, an aged millionaire, stockbroker 1
and social leader of San Francisco*
He is devoted to his motherless daugh
ter. Beatric, a pretty girl of 20, and
to Wuverly, his 22-year-old son.
Into the life of contentment at Cov
ington home enters Fay Hope, a New
York adventuress. Using all the
witchery of her sensuous beauty and
every alluring art of which she is mis
tress, Fay plays upon her heart
strings of the aged millionaire.
Friends warn Covington that Fa>" is
seeking his money, but he is capti
vated and does not heed even the
declaration of his daughter that mar
riage to such a woman means moral
suicide. Remarkable dramatic results
follow.
