TUESDAY EVENING, Shaffer's Last Flight ( Continued Prom Yesterday) I wanted a bath and some clean underwear so I no 1 had no cooties then hut in this big camp they had hot showerbaths, also a big steam cootie killer. They work it this way. You see while we were taking a bath our clothes we put in those big ovens and thoroughly I steamed. Incidently this steaming I simply ruined the uniform cloth, but I didn't know that. Anyway I need ed the bath, and who knows but there might have been several cooties sticking around yet. It they were, they surely were thoroughly thawed out. There was an amusing incident happened in this camp while in the baths. 1 have already told you that while we were bathing our clothes were baked in the steam ovens. This would take a little time, as we bathed quickly and then we had to sit around in our underwear wett ing for our clothes to get done cook ing. We wrapped our clothes up in a bundle before giving them to the cootie-killer, and when they ■ came back via a small cart it was lather difficult to pick out one's be longings among all these steaming misshapen bundles. Many mis takes were made and it was not at all strange to see several men come out minus their trousers. And on inquiry it always proved that the trousers were very good ones. too. This camp was under control of ! the English, but there were many French interpreters around to take : care of the many Frenchmen com ing in. When these interpreters found I was an American and an aviator they invited me to stay with lliem in an old mansion instead of going with the rest of the prisoners to an old fort at the other -end of the town. It was this way wherever I went. My being an aviator and especially an American, got me the cream of everything. I stayed with these interpreters some Ave days waiting for a train to take me to Paris. They sure were a fussy crew, and could not keep anybody to cook for them any length of time, so most of the time they had to cook for themselves. They were a moly crew indeed, for one was a Dutchman, one an Englishman and the others French men, but taking it all in all, they were a mighty nice bunch of fel lows and they certainly did treat me white. On the fifth day we were put in boxcars and headed for Paris. After riding a day and a half we were unloaded in a big city in the middle of the night. Naturally, I thought I I was in Paris, but when dawn broke I discovered I was only in Arros, with the prospects of staying there some fifteen days before I was again headed for Paris. I didn't like that at all, for na turally now that the war was over you would' want to know what had become of me. Therefore I went to the interpreters again for informa tion as to how to get word out, and if not, how to get me out quick. (Jut of I.uck! It looked as if I was out of luck though, for there was no telephone or wire cbmmunication to Paris— not for me anyway, and as for trains, well, there was an express leaving for Amiens that day at 2 p. m., but nobody but officers could ■ride on it. "But take a chance any way," said ,the Interpreter confl ' dentially. "You're an Ameriran and you might get away with it. Be sides. if you do get caught, just tell them you are a liberated prisoner and they will surely let you stay aboard. I neded no second hint, but promptly gathered my few belong ings together, dodged out a back door, for we were under military rule now and were forbidden to go anywhere without the necessary mil itary papers, and beat it for the sta tion. True enough, there was the train, and I had no trouble getting aboard. That I had neither money nor ticket never bothered me a bit. for there was no conductor on the train. That certainly was some side, for we had to cross the battlefield, you' know, and as the train went slowly I had a good chance to see what I have always referred to as the front.

I won't tire you by giving my impression of it. for so many people have written about it that 1 could not improve on their description. All I have to say is that a rabbit could not exist in that bar- , ren, shot-up land of trenches, mud and barbwlre. That night I got into i Paris, feeling that my Journey was j nearly done.

Besides I was still pretty weak from my loss of vital ity while with the Huns. Why, I couldn't walk more than two blocks without sitting down and resting. And say, you should have seen me eat! Oh boy! I sure had some ap petite. Just kept eating all the time and never get filled up. Events More llapitlly i More things happened to me dur ing the last two months of the war than during all the rest of my bird life put together. But first, XVmust tell you about my trip to Stras burg, near which city my escadrille is now stationed. It sure is some city, but what a time to get there. Even though I took an express train it took me two nights and a day. At one time it took eight hours to go seven miles. Fortunate ly, I had put a little bread in my sack before leaving, and that inci dentally was all I had, to eat during that time. And such a packed train one never saw, for not only were all the seats taken but the aisles were packed to standing room only. And it was this way both going and coming. Naturally when I finally ar rived at my destination, 1 was one hungry boy, and would you be lieve it, they gave me black bread with my dinner—the very same saw dust stuff I had eaten while I was a prisoner. Not only did it sour my disposition, but stomach also, for one has to get used to this bread, I and it 'had been some time since I had fed on Boche grub. And rain! Why. say, it's been raln ign steady ever since I hit Paris, and that was a month ago, and if the good Lord don't show a rainbow pretty soon, I'll begin to doubt his word about there never being an other flood. And getting out of Strasburg did not get me away from the rain either. It only rained har der. But my troubles were all over when I found my escadrille. and comrades. Everyone was so glad to see me that I forgot my wet and j aching feet—l had walked three | miles in the rain—and the fact that I had had hardly any sleep for two nights. From the commander down to the lowliest mechanic, one and all were delighted to see me alive and well; for I had been given up as dead by every one. Every rumor that came in regarding my being shot down only confirmed ■ what they already knew. These ru mors were all different and mighty I conclusive as to what happened to me. One had me shot down in flames. That one interested me, for although 1 "crashed" 1 did not burn, and if anything burned around there it must have been that balloon. Any way, when the commander received my letter from Paris, he was so glad to hear of my safety that he gave me the benefit of the doubt and proposed me for some more dec orations. Here's hoping they go through, for I sure tried my darn dest t9 get that balloon. A Warm Welcome My own mechanic would not even -believe it when told I was in camp, ajriyprhen he finally did see me, he stifSk my hand several times ex tra to make sure I was still all there Indeed, I bad no idea how well I was liked in my escadrille until I came back. It surprised me considerably. The fact that I was an American, though, was the cause of most of the admiration, and I gave .this wonderful race of men another boost by saying to all who expressed surprise at my return practically from the dead—that it was very hard to kill an American. The place where the escadrille was stationed was a former Boche aviation school, and for a school I have yet to see its equal. They sure had all the conveniences. Even the cement hangars were heated, and the barracks were just as well planned and built, having hot ,and cold water in every room. Heat was not so noticeable when I was there as they were shy on coal. It wag, indeed, an interesting place and I spent a lot of time looking over the planes I had often fought with. They had all types there, even the famous Fokker. This particular plane was a disappointment, con sidering how it could perform in the air, for a more ugly and crudely constructed plane I have yet to see. Compared to my spad it looked like a fat Boche "Frauleisn" beside a "chic," Parisian rrfademoiselle, and that's some difference, believe me! Naturally, I wouldn't have been an American had I not helped myself to some souvenirs. Hope I can get them home all right. At the es cadrille I found throe letters from you. I'll let you imagine the pleas ure they gave me, for it indeed was a relief to know that you had finally heard of my success in getting "one." You can makte it three now. I also learned where my baggage was, where to go to collect my back pay and also some more of your let ters were awaiting me at Dyon. The three leters were filled with hope and anticipation of my furlough home. I don't suppose I can imagine how you felt when the news came that I had been brought down,, but my cable from Paris after the armis tice, must have made up for all that. I won't hold out any hopes of a quick return home, for you may be disappointed again, but I'm bet ting on beating this lettetr across. Hack to Parts x I was only at the escadrille one day, as 1 had to get back to Paris quickly, besides I couldn't fly there anyway. It was raining all the time, anil when it was not raining it was foggy, so flying was out of the question. It was amusing to see how few pilots were there. Nearly all of them were in Paris on special permission. And I don't wonder, for they had nothing to do, being a combat escadrille with nothing to fight, and that with the rain every day sure gave everyone "eaford" aplenty. So everyone that could tlx it got out. The few pilots remain ing, however, gave me all the news, for naturally I wanted to know whether all the others had been as lucky as I. It appeared some had not. One pilot had been killed while playing around close to the ground. He ran into a church steeple, tore oft a wing and came down in flames. A sad end, indeed, for such a good pal. Another pilot whom 1 did not know got lost in a fog while crossing the Vosges moun. tains and ran into the* side of a cliff. Those were the only tragic happenings, but there were others vdry close to tragic, the principal story being about the escape of Garand. This was the plucky little Frenchman who followed me down when I attacked my last balloon, ■fteven Boches jumped on him and they put his motor out of commis sion the first few shots and then chased horn down, shooting all the time and forcing him to land be- tween the first and second line French trenches. The machine was simply riddled with bullets although the aviator was unhurt, one ball only grazing his cheek, whlie an other cut the gas throttle from his hand, landing a spad is a ticklish job on the best of fields, but landing one In the trenches —well,' that isn't a ticklish job—lt's a ruin. Thus, when Garand hit, he turned a somersault immediately. Being un-, hurt, he lost no time in crawling out from under and starting to beat it in the direction of Paris. But the Boche were not taking any chances of his getting away, and when he crawled out they wore ready for him, and one after an other the whole seven took pot shots at him as he ran. How he ever es caped will always remain one of the miracels of the great war. 1 am glad he did, though, for a more dependable flier and fighter I have never flown with. It was the me chanic which was sent out to get the guns off of this Frenchman's plane that apparently proved con clusively that I was dead, for he inquired up there whether any thing had been seen of another plane—meaning me. Sure they had seen another one "crash." Another Poliu had seen me come down in flames, and there I was, dead as a door nail! Do you wonder everyone was surprised to see me? It was like having one riso from the dead. Another American The escadrille had only arrived at I this place a few days before I got there, and at that they had some j | time, what with the awful flying I weather, not to mention motor j trouble. Out of eighteen planes which left for their new field, only 1 six arrived. The rest were scat- j tered all over the Vosges mountains. The one who ran into the side of a mountain and killed himself was among these eighteen. Another pilot's motor quit on hjm just as he was crossing a small town, and he made a landing in the public square, his wheels stopping just as he struck the curb. I knew this pilot well, but he only laughed when I asked him, about it. It's all in the day's work is the way most of them look at it: but this incident ought to show where the fascination is that lies in the flying game. When one leaves the ground, one never knows what may happen, or how soon he will have to make a quick decision as to whether he shall land on a forest or drop into somebody's parlor via the roof. Unless you are a flyer you will not understand where the fascination lies. To you. landing in a public square sounds rather dangerous, and it is, but to do it and get away with it, there's the point, and naturally every pilot thinks he can. There was another American at the escadrille, who had come after I had left for my "visit to Germany, and since there was nothing to do at the flying field, we got an auto and permission to go to Strasburg. Sure, it was still raining, but we put in most of our time while there in restaurants and tea shops. They sure had some beautiful ones, and | music in everyone, too. Wonderful music it was and made me crazy to want to dance, but prettty girls did not seem plentiful. Besides, they had such big feet that I feared if we had gotten out on the floor there would have been no space left. That was the first thing my at tention was called to —the women's big feet. "Look at their.feet." said my American friend. I did and they sure were remarkable. Everyone had a foundation like the Wool worth building, and we amused our selves most of the afternoon com paring different sizes of feet as they passed. We finally ended up in a restaurant for dinner where English and French was spoken. So it said on the door, anyway. It was, too, and quite fluently—by one man. The rest spoke Boche and we got a nice, chunky Boche maiden to take our order. We had a lot of fun out ot it, though, but I've forgotten al ready what the Boche. word for "cheri" is. The way they changed money up there got my goat though. They would take French money and give one Boche nickels in change. It was a dickens of a system, and what made me sore was the fact that they would not tak a twenty mark Boche bill I had, and yet for a French bill they would give me Boche change. As I said before, the system was utterly beyond me. I still have the Boclie bill. Another thing that surprised me was the apparent abundance of sugar. They seemed to have "beaucoup." I got the biggest surprise of my life when I ordered some coffee and had some sugar served with it. They don't do that in gay Paris, you know. If one don't carry his own he goes without. Oh, say! You remember I told you I had my "certificate of loyalty." Well, I had it in my pocket when taken prisoner.
