sure enough. The night we got in
the trenches I was sent with three
^squads to hold an outpost. I held
the outpost for four days under continuous
shel fire and uring that time
we were under eight barrages. It j
was awful. We were cut off from the
front line and cWldn't get but very
Uttle rations and water. We did the
West we could though and on the
night of September 28 relief came.
We then went back in resrve and
g waited. We knew the show was not
oyer yet, for we found hundreds of
tanks back there. We slept all that
gay and eat and drank hot coffee.
About night the tanks started pulling
off. Next morning the Hinden**
burg line was 'taken. We were in
reserve still. The next night we

next morning to Peronne to get billets

got there before we were sent back to

and had been fighting all day long.
We had advanced many miles but I
don't know how far. It was late in
the afternoon and the Germans had
us held up. I was laying down in a
ditch getting cover from the machine
gun bullets when a gas shell
burst, right beside me, and I got a
belly full. I went from there to a
first aid and was put in an ambulance
and sent back. I don't know
4 where it was for I slept most of the
time. I was sent from there to a
hospital in Rouan. I was sent from
there to a replacement camp at Ew,
and from there to my company, which
was then at Warlay. We left War^

VOICE FROM AIR
IN RADIOPHONE
FLYING MAN NO LONGER ISOLATED.
May Talk To People
On the Ground
Can Call for Help, Ask About Landings
and Send Information
He Has.
Washington, Jan. 18.?The great
development of non military flying
which is now beginning in the United
States, will in all probability be
PTAntlv stimulated hv that newest of
aerial inventions?the radiophone.
No longer is the flying man a being
cut off from the rest of mankind
by distance and the noise of his roaring
motors. It is now possible for
him to converse with persons on the
ground or in other airplanes even
when they are miles away. He may
call for help, ask about landing conditions
below, send back information
about the weather.
In that national system of landing
fields which is the dream of all constructive
minded aviators and which
the army fliers are now beginning to
outline, this radiophone will play a
part* the importance of which can
scarcely be exaggerated. For it
means that passenger and mail
planes will be in almost continuous
tbuch with ground stations.
The military value of the radiophone
is even more obvious, and indeed
was demonstrated in France
before the armistice was signed and
before the secret of the wireless telephone
was revealed to the public.
The great value of the radiophone
in military flying, of course, is that
it enables great squadrons of planes
to act in perfect unison under a commander.
When 18 planes going at
a rate of 130 miles an hour dip or
turn, or rock like one machine in
perfect response to an order given by
their leader in a machine two miles
above theoi, and the order is simultaneously
audible to a man at the
aerial station 6.000 feet below the
lowest plane, one must admit that
there is a new wonder of the world.
There is something quite uncanny
in the whole proceeding to the nonscientific
listener and onlooker who
is at the ground aerial station.
It is proof of the perfection of
the wireless telephone that in all
the tests and drills which have been
held, an order from a commanding
officer has never been misunderstood
by a man under his command, and
no accidents have occurred to machines
under tire control of this new
and powerful instrument. This is a
great satisfaction in itself, and it
also shows the splendid discipline
and faith of an American aviator.
As the airplanes, when in battle formation,
fly very close to each other,
the slightest misunderstanding or
disobedience on the part of an airman
would quite likely mean the collision
of two planes and the probable death
of both pilots.
When in battle this invention enables
the commander of a fleet of
planes so to maneuver as completely
to surround enemy planes hidden in
clouds, and sometimes even those in
the open. On the training field, the
wireless telephone saves skilled pilots
from unnecessary risks while directing
and correcting their pupils. The
instructor on the ground is enabled
by this device to make his commands
perfectly audible to the pupil in the
air without risking his life in the
hands of a recruit. Moreover, it has
been proven beyond a doubt that the
wireless telephone is of supreme value
in directing air gunners and bombers.
Chief credit for the invention is
given to Col. Clarence C. Culver, of
the department of military arenautics
and Col. Samuel Rees of the royal flying
corps. The idea first took definite
shape when these two officials
were on duty at the international
aviation tournament at Belmont Park
in the fall of 1910. Earlier that
same year Colonel Culver and Capt.!
H. M. Horton had established radiotelegraph
communication from a flying
airplane to an aerial station at
Sheepshead Bay, New York. Captain
Horton is credited with having built
Al i ?
lue irau&Luiiiiug sci auu v/uiuuci vur
ver, the receiving set.
It was six years later that the first
message was transmitted from one
airplane in flight to another on September
2, 1916. Colonel Culver
continued his inventive work, and
early the next year a radiotelephone
trial was held, which resulted in the
first transmission of the human voice
from an airplane to the ground. Then,
in May, 1917, Gen. George O. Squire,
chief signal officer, led a conference
which included Colonel Rees, Colonel
Culver and Dr. F. B. Jewett, of the
Western Electric Company. Later,
master telephone engineers were called
into the conference and the following
fall Colonel Culver carried
1
sample receivers and transmitters
abroad with him for trial work in i
France, which proved very successful. '
Since February, 1918, American airplanes
here and abroad have been
fully equipped with wireless telephone
apparatus.
Ever since the successful completion
of this invention the secret has
been wonderfully well kept, and it
has been asserted by government officials
that although German airmen
were cognizant of the fact that the
Americans had some unusual method,
of communication, they were entirely
ignorant of the exact nature of that
method.
The flyers of Great Britain and
France have attempted the use of the
wireless telephone. The former met
with better success that the latter,
but the most marked success has
come to American aviators.
Both the receiving and transmit- '
ting sets for wireless telephoning are
very simple and compact in appearance.
Moreover, they do not attract
attention when in place on a machine.
With the consent of Gen. Kenly,
Colonel Culver has given out the following
information concerning the
mechanism of the radiophone.
"The transmitting set consists of
a power plant, a set box, a transmitter
or microphone and an antenna
system. The power plant consists
of a generator driven on the windmill
principle by the passage of the airplane
through the air. It is placed
somewhere in the open?usually on
the running gear or one of the wings,
and its tiny propeller blades whirls
vigorously as the airplane travels
along.
"The socalled set box receives the
power from the generator, converts it
and places it on the aerials in the
form of sustained, or undampened
waves. The voice entering the transmitter
varies the electric current on
the wires which are connected as in
the ordinary telephone. In the set
box the variations received from the
transmitter are converted and act to
effect a modulation of the continuous
or undampened waves already referred
to.
"The receiving set consists of s.
receiving set box, a head receiver, a
source of power and an antenna system.
The latter is the same as the
antenna system in the transmitting:
set. The source of power is a small
storage battery. The head receiver
is built into the aviator's helmet in
such a manner as to exclude sounds,
from reaching the pilot's ear and interferring
with his hearing. The set
box nroper contains apparatus quite
similar to the receiving apparatus of
a fir*t class wireless station. However,
it possesses a number of refinements
over these which increase the
audibility of incoming signals, withstand
vibration and minimize
weight."
