SHAFFER TELLS HOW HE
DOWNED BOCHE AIRPLANE

distance, but a regulating of the
speed of your motor at the right
moment, as well, else when the lead
•er turns you may collide with one of
your comrades, or worse yet, lose the
patrol.
But Lieutenant Madon, with years
of experience and some forty Boche
to his credit, was very easy to follow
and I and the lieutenants had little
trouble in staying in place.
We climbed up to 6,000 meters and
for one hour we floated around at
that height of rare and cold air. it
was very clear, despite the fact that
many clouds were in the sky, and
when we were over Spissons it was
quite easy to see Rheims, which if
you look on a map, will see that is
some distance away. It was very cold
up there and what with the cold air
rushing past and the rarity of the
air, 1 soon had a fierce headache. I
already had the stomachache and
had it ever since leaving the ground,
so I was hoping we would either go
home or get in a fight, as 1 could for
get these ever present troubles. As if
in answer to my wish the leader
suddenly began to dive, and promptly
following, immediately saw why. for
far below and some distance away
was a big Boche plane coming to
ward us.
A Big Bird j
He was an enormous bird and l
had little trouble in seeing the black
cross in its circle of white on his
large wings, as I watched my com
mander in his blood red plane go
down to the attack. Diving steeply as
he was, with the Boche coming head
on. made shooting with any degree of
accuracy out of the question for witn |
the two plants terrific speed an awful,
big correction had to be made. There
fore. he did not go so close, and soon
pulled up to give the next in line a
chance. It was one of the lieutenants,
and he lost no time getting after that
Hun, who seeing four Spads coming J
down on him, started to turn and i
dive for home. It was then that the ;
second in line went scooting under i
me to the attack, but his gun stuck i
and he also pulled up and turned ,
aside so as to give the next in line a i
chance to do his bit. I happened to j
Pe third, and seeing it was up to me ,
I forgot all about the head and stom- ;
ache aches in the excitement of get- :
ting that Boche in line with my sights, i
That requised but a few seconds, as ,
the Boche was diving for Berlin |
with all the motor he had and was •
not wasting any time doing funny ;
little twists and turns, which made
aiming for me a simple matter,
(getting the Aim
All I had to do was get him in the l
sight, pull on enough motor to over-1
haul him and keep shooting. So with !
on hand on the throttle, the other |
hand gripping the "joy stick" and j
trigger lightly, an eye glued to the
sight. I swung into position behind
that fleeing Hun. As the sight swung j
on him in response to the controls, 1
let go with both guns. I could see ,
the tracer bullets as they went whist
ling towards their mark, leaving a
trail of smoke behind them. But they
were not going quite true, passing ai
little bit to the left of where the pilot
and observer should be, (as it was a
biplane), so 1 gently pressed on the
right foot and was gratified to see |
every smoking ball go home —and ;
then suddenly that Boche disappear
ed as completely as the one I shot
at nea. Rheims in company with
Putnam.
I had been pretty close to him too
and was catching him all the time,
but I was also getting very low. near
3.000 meters, considering I was some
ten miles in Germany, and suspecting
some trick, pulled up and turned fori
our lines. Looking around meanwhile I
to see what had happened to that,
Boche and whether any protecting;
Boche planes were l above it. for I had:
not forgotten the time i had attacked j
another biplane and four Huns came:
down on nfe. They had merely used
the big plane for bait and when I hit, j
down they came. You remember, J;
told vou about it. that being the time
my gun was shot out of commission,;
my "Becky" nearly shot off and six
holes in my wings. Having had this:
trick firmly impressed on me you can:
w ell believe I had not forgotten it. I
suspected the stime trick here which
accounted for my careful inspection,
of the sky as the "Archies" began
breaking around me as I went back
to the lines. And sure enough, there,
were two, right overhead, but hap
pily it was my commander and one;
of the lieutenants, so all was well|
again.
We soon picked up the other lieu- j
tenant and then climbed high again.;
headed for Soissons. where numer
ous white puffs denoted the presence
of a Boche. There were half a dozen
there in a bunch, although 1 saw,
none, but they were too far in their
lines in the judgment of our leader
to attack, so he dove for the home
roost.
Just as we grrived over the "piste":
my reservoir refused to work, so T
switched onto the other one. and
came down to land. Golly! what aj
landing! 1 hit the ground and;
bounced twenty feet. Seeing that I'
could not make a good landing cut
of such a bad start, I pulled on the!
motor again, made a circle of thtj
field and tried again. This time Ii
landed without trying to break the,
wheels first. As I rolled up to thej
hangar the gunsmith came up and i
asked the usual question, "Did youi
shoot?" Yes. I had shot, but noti
• ■•lich and did not know whether the!
• •lie fell or not. It's a fact. I only
'•■• t about fitly shots with each gun,
t .t seemed to have done the trick,
' r on asking my leader what hap
neii to that Boche he counterques
■ned by asking whether I was the
'bird one that attacked. "Yes, l!
h d." "Congratulations," said he
with his grinning smile and a hearty i
shake' Of the hand, "he crashed"!
And that was where the Bofche had|
gone when I lost him—straight down i
lo the ground. No wonder I could;
not find him.
Honored by Commander
So pleased was my commander at:
my keeping in place in the patrol as!
well as bringing down the Boche
that he invited me to dinner with!
the officers, an honor, by the way.|
that few sergeants have ever en-:
joyed. Believe me. I sure was!
swamped with attention and feari
some blushes even showed through'
the Sunburn, for riding to the din- 1
ing hall in the officer's car, another
ace in the escadrille insisted I sit'
beside him. From the way he said
it. you would have thought I was!
doing him an honor.
And then when he reached the
diningroom I was introduced to riy
commander's wife, a pretty little'
thing as Frenchy and chic "as theyl
make them, who shook my hand and
prettily congratulated me also. Golly!
After that I felt like going out and!
shooting up another Hun.
The dinner was not such a wonder- 1
ful affair, being the usual carrot and'
meat affair, hut it was much enliven-!
Ed by my commander's spirits, who!
tried, much to the amusement of the'
company present, to speak English, j
even nsking his pretty wife to kiss
him. Unfortunately, she did not'
understand him. so he didn't get It.i
Tlic Decoration
Tt was indeed a red letter day in
my existence, for not only had I
brought down another Boche, but

play, called to John Ireland and
Thomas O'Gorman —who later became |
bishop of Sioux Falls—to come into i
the church. He asked them if they !
wished to become priests. Both he
and his playmate agreed 'hat priest
hood was the ambition. Bishop Cre
tin sent them, in charge of a guar
dian. to France, where they were
educated by the Marist Fathers. When
lie heard of. the outbreak of the Civil
War in America the student turned 1
homeward, tired with a* much patri- J
otism as religion.
After bein ordained at St. Paul, he
eagerly accepted an appointment as j
chaplain in the Fifth Regiment of the
Jilinnesota Volunteers.
An Ardent Unionist '
He was ardent for the Unionist
cause and shared every hardship of
the soldier's life In their terrible win
ter raids. At luku he ave yeomans
help by rushing ammunition to the
front when it was sorely needed. He
was striken with fever after less than
a year's service and returned to a St.
Paul pastorate.
He soon attracted national atten
tion through his work for temper
ance. The story Is told of how on
one January night in 1869, three
drunkards . staggered into his door
way and handed him a rumpled sheet,
which read:
"For God's sake organize a Tem
perance Society." The paper was
signed by seven men including a
saloon keeper. Those were the days
when St. Paul was filled with border
turbulence and yte riot of drink.
The next Sunday Father Ireland be
gan his eampain by organizing a
Temperance Society of eighty mem
bers. He made hut-to-hut visits to
St. Paul's shantytown, throwing
whisky bottles out of the squalid
doorways. The work he thus began
he extended throughout tlie north
west and traveled the whole country
preaching temperance. He even car
ried the battle back to Ireland and
Great Britain. His energy was so
abundant and his zeal for work such
that the term "consecrated blizzard"
as applied to him by one of Ills ad
mirers was accepted i}>" many others
as a peculiarly happy expression.
He at one time conceived the idea
of consolidating the Catholic paro-
chlal schools and the public schools.
The plan was tried at Falrabault and
Stillwater. Minn., but friction which
the archbishop could not relieve
tirose and the scheme was drqpped.
He was founder of the Hill seminary
on the Minnesota side of the Missis
sippi river. To this he gave his high
ly-prized private library, one of the
most comprehensive in the northwest.
One of his early works was ttie found
in of a colony of 900 Catholic farmers
in western Minnesota in 1876.
He became Bishop in 1876 and Arch
bishop in 1886. He received support
from many of his admirers for ap
pointment as the fourth American
Cardinal. Celebrating his golden
jubilee a few years ago, the priests
of his diocese presented hint with a
purse of $lOO,OOO.
As a speaker Archbishop Ireland
was dir#t and magnetic, with a
senso of liutno?. One of the phrases
which has often been quoted as char
acteristic of his particular endeavor
in life is this:
"The watchwords of the age are
reason, education, liberty, the ameli
oration of the masses."
Mt. Union Negro Shoots
Three Brothers After
Quarrel; One Dying
' Mount Union, Pa.. Sept. 25. This
powder town was the scene of a
shooting affray yesterday, when one
negro whipped out a revolver and be
fore he had emptied the chambers of
his six-shooter Itad punctured the
bodies of three brothers —William
Kogers, John H. Rogers and WJ H.
Rogers, brothers, and Oolored.
The man who wielded the revolver
was Samuel Hurd, ft former companion
of the Roger brothers. Recently the
men quarreled for some unknown
reason and the feud has apparently
since existed. Yesterday Hurd went
gunning for his former friends and
found them in frgont of their home.
Without giviing his victims a chance
to defend themselves, Hurd whipped
out a thirty-two-caliber revolver and
began pumping lead in the direction
of the brothers, all three falling to
the ground. William Fogers is so bad
ly wounded taht he is not expected to
live. The wounds of the other two
are not considered fatal.
Hurd immediately ran out of town,
closely pursued by several members
of the State Constabulary, and was
captured about four miles away from
here, giving himself up with little or
no resistance.

Prilep Has Fallen

London, Sept. 25.—French cavalry,
operating to the northeast of Mona
stic in Macedonia, have captured the
town of Prilep, according to an offi
cial statement made last evening.

the Drenska mountain range.
The Anglo-Greek forces in the Doi
