Several hundred men have pone from tie re. who are in training camps, and in increasinp numbers nre tlphtinp somewhere "over there." Rut it is not ">n them alone that the responsibility for winninp this war rests. Woman's work is the makinp of hospital garments and surpical supplies that are so Itreatly needed in the camps at home and the tlphtinp fronts abroad, and we can't wait until the men are wounded and supplies needed to start, the necessary work. Time can always be found for clubs, parties, and automobile rides. Every woman who can should set aside at least one morninp a week for Ked Cross work. Ceo. S.

This was to or IU1?T, III."* ? be mine. although I did nut know it at ( the time the order was given the night l before. It was at Verdun and the | date, according to my diary, was June | 11. i Fighting had been going on around t Verdun without interruption day anil t night, and many of the French air- i craft were already victims of the t enemy tire. At this time, as 1 now i call it, there were only six of t our aviators in shape to take to the air i for combat. ' Our hangars were located in an open * Held eight or ten miles back of the i great forts and front line trenches. ' We had been cruising constantly for ' days, and cruising means good, steady 1 business, each man's daily putrid lasting about two and a half hours. It J was our job to keep away the enemy ' aircraft, to protect the French pho- 1 tographcrs who went up on observa- J tiou and topographical duty, and to ' note any changes in the Herman dis- ' positions so as to direct and correct ! our own artillery lire. All of us were ! in trim for any kind of duty. .My orders for this particular day ' were not unlike tin- regular routine. ' it was cold and pitch dark when I ' crawled out of my blanket at J o'clock, which was really 1 o'clock, as the time . is advanced in summer. .My breaklast. like the others, consisted of rolls and coffee. As I do not drink coffee, I concentrated on those rolls. I made my way to our hangar and | routed out Leon, my mechanic. In live minutes, with ls-on's help, for it is something of a job, I got into in> ( leather combination and boots, and ( climbed into my machine, (in (Inside of the car was painted in large Iotters: ItKltr."

All was now ready. 1 settled myself In the scat ami gave a once-over to everything as best I could?more by feel than by sight?us it was still dark. The machine gun was loaded and ready. On the ground Uon was still puttering ahout, giving a last touch here ami there. "All set!" I called to liiin in Knglish. Ho understood and started the motor. The blocks were still before the wheels of the machine, to make the final test of the motor. It purred rrniuuVhY?.?order. Leon kicked away the blocks. The "Bert" rolled along the ground for about tlfty feet. Then I turned her into t ie wind and started up. 1 left the earth in darkness. As the "Bert" shot upward I entered a world of soft light. I'p here the dawn comes tirst. As it began to illuminate the eastern sky, I pointed straight into it, thrilled and quickened by its inspiration. Soon I was able to make out the wooded rises in the ground, and as 1 went on, the Itiver Meuse became visible, seeming to Mow out of the Borlie lines. Sometimes, at this hour, the mist is heavy, making it necessary to wait and get your hearings. But this morning I was not held up: there , was nothing to stop me from my work j of the concentrating on the Held over , the h'orts Douauinont and Vnux and , the famous bloody liill 304. The . motor was buzzing along in tine shape . and 1 was climbing at the rate of , 1.300 feet a minute. The red old sun < loomed up before me, and, although it i was still dark below, things began to i get clearer but smaller. I Shell Burst Beneath. 1 A shell suddenly burst just underneath the "Bert," even before I \vus able to make out the enemy positions. , The smoke was black, so 1 knew it was a German "good morning" meant for me. Our own anti-aircraf^ shells make a white smoke. j 1 kept on ascending and very soon ( entered a cloud, one of those beautiful white banks as seen from the | ground. It wasn't white, however? ( far from it. As I dived in everything , became black; 1 couldn't see my hand j before my face. Tho motor, which , makes racket enough at all times. , now sounded like a continuous, deadening bombardment. The cloud vapor, damp and thick, shut in every particle ot sound. These "pretty white clouds" have no silver lining for the i aviator! Light ahead' was welcome, and I emerged from the cloud with my ears tingling. The sensation Is very much 1 as if corks were popping inside your head in rapid succession. The wind was thirty miles an hour or perhaps a little more. My altimeter registered 1 5.UU0 meters, or approximately 16,SOU feet up. 1 had scarcely got into the | open again, and began to search the ( landscape when there were more shells. They had seen me. 1 discovered that 1 was now directly over the < German positions. , Naturally, my next move was to llnd out if there were any enemy aircraft in my neighborhood. I looked all around, above und particularly below, i for that is the danger ijuarter in com- | bat. I kept on. and when about a . mile inside tho German lines 1 saw three machines far below me which had just taken to the air. I got up a i little higher. They seemed to turn . back, then one of them came on up. Soon all three were headed for me, the first having pulled away from his i comrades. I 1 picked it out for attack and ma- j noeuvred for position, euger to see what type of machine it was. As it came on 1 saw a fighting two-seater, I earrvlng a nilot and an observer. I < managed to keep above, and it began tiring long before they got near me. That is injur tactics and 1 did not mind. Hip went a hole in one of my wings, and then I did mind. But my turn was coming! I opened fire, but could not tell if my bullets were going into the body of the machine. We both continued to fire, and I was close enough to see the observer's face and square head as the machine rushed past I looped-the-loop and as they went under me 1 put in a few shots for luck. Then the two-seater looped aftd I passed under it Suddenly there was. a rat-tat-tat l>ohind me. One look was enough. The other two machines had come up and opened fire on me. I pulled away to get into position again for the twoseater. As I did so 1 saw some red blotches on the wings of the "Bert." 1 knew that I had made a hit. It showed me. also, how close we had been to each other. The propeller revolving In front of the observer had spattered the blood on my wings. This proved that he was wounded in the face or neck. If it had been a body wound the blood would have flowed down to the boots inside the leather clothes, which are waterproof. I again made for the two-seater, which had veered off. and. keeping up my fire, I passed within twenty feet f It. This time I saw the square <i lead turned sideways, the body lipped down under the seat. He was lead. The machine began to descend, or, of course, the pilot could not m hoot, and 1 did not see it again. My .uoo rounds of ammunition was runling low. but I decided that I was it ill good for another. Besides. I s canted to bring down a machine. ,, I didn't have long to wait, for the >th?-r two. l?oth single-seaters like the 'Bert." were on top of me In-fore I ;ne\v it. One of them pulled off and made directly for the other, letting uy Vickers cut loose. 25 Shots at 20-Yard Range. Twenty-five shots at twenty yards. I'tiat tells the whole story, and it ooked like good-night for me. Suddenly, I saw flames bursting out ?f the cockpit of my antagonist?and was saved. My aim, fortunately, had >?-en true. Down went the Hoc he ma hine. a line of black smoke marking ts path through the early morning ight. I watched him until I saw him lit the ground. A puff of flame and itnoke?that was all. I had brought lown my machine! 1 was particulary happy because I had done it with ilmost the last of my <;irtridgos. Was 1 now alone in this particular hunk ol' atmosphere or was the third loche still a near neighbor of mine? > couldn't see him anyway. I didn't si snow at this moment, hut I think t low that the other single-seater ivhich had pulled off wsis having: mo- >< or trouble. Whatever it was didn't y natter so much?where ho wsis did t rouble me, for in the air you must he t esidy for danger from six directions? I 'rom above and below in addition to t lorth, south, east and west. In order j 0 tiiul out what is Ih-Iow me I very i seldom look over the rsiil of the car: , ii fact, it is almost Impossible in a a midline like the "Bert." So I just j 11mod her on her side and got si food look below.

I slowed down he motor and prepared to descend, loinp it slowly, for the air pressure onstantly became harder on my head iikI ears. Hung! A Herman shell , xplodcd not more than forty yards iway.

I was n|iw passing over p iur lines, and if eyer the feeling I if getting home grips won hard, brieve me, it's after yAu have been lj lying over the Herman, trenches. ji The descent was wATual, for the '""-I" r hTT nifljptrl VT" ?ible to make our own landing field tnd Manger. One of my comrades, iust starting up. passed waving his liand. I could tell that it was li? ly the number on the machine. I waved back, making a sign that I had nought down n Boehe. One reason, md an absolutely necessary prceaulion, for the big number painted on [lie top and sides of the machines Is j ui prevent slacking. We can always ae the numbers and each of us is required to report movements that lie 1 witnessed.
