FeMtlnand Capdevttle, .aged 24, of
New SKerk city, son of ■» New York
fencing gnaster, today the^fls the dis
tlncJfAn ,*/ being the only American
volunteer :to rise by sheer merit from
the ranks into St. Cyr—the Wo«t Point
of France—-wad probably the only
American ever to graduate free? /hat
famous rnllita."y institution.
Capdeville caove to France In A»pg
ust, 1914, and immediately enlisted fc*
a private in the Foreign Legion. To
day he is a graduate officer of St.
Cyr. Pure military ability and ex
treme bravery won him this honor.
To escape the tyranny of an'Ameri
can sergeant of the legion, Capdeville
and several American comrades, after
the legion’s great battles in Cham
pagne during September and October,
1915, transferred to the 170th line in
fantry regiment. The young New
Yorker participated in the first de
fense of Fort Vaux in February, 1716,
and later in the battle of Caillet wood,
in May, 1916, won the war cross and
was named sergeant for delivering a
message under terrible shell fire.
In June, 1917, it was announced^ in
Capdpville’s regiment that three
the most efficient under-offlcerR would
be sent to St. Cyr to train for offl
j cers’ posts. The American never
I dreamed-^that he would be one of
j these. The night of the day on which
1 the announcement was made Capde
ville was ordered to take charge of a
patrol in No-Man’s Land. His party
was attacked by a German patrol of
superior numbers. A corporal was
killed by the American’s side. With
extreme coolness he rallied his men,
who killed and wounded many of his
assailants and took several prisoners
The patrol regained the French lines
without further loss.
As a reward for bravery and leader
ship the American corporal was se
lected as a student officer at the West
Point of France. He has just finished
training and will soon return to the
front. *
CapdevlRe was a close chum of
Charles Trinkard, with whom he
worked before the war in the New
York offices of the Compagnie Gen
erate Transatlantique. They came to
France together^ Trinkard was ter
ribly wounded in the Champagne bat
tle of 1915, and was later transferred
to the aviation corps, where he won
honors. Trinkard was killed in an air
plane accident on last Thanksgiving
morning.

AMSTERDAM, Jan. 26 (by mail).—
The German army Is now construct
ing underground hangars for its air
planes as protection against English
bombing raids, says the Echo Belg«.
At one of the principal Belgian aero
dromes, hangars of this type capable
of housing twelve machines have al
ready been completed by the use of
war-prisoner labor.
The hangers are of great depth and
are protected overhead by a thick roof
of concrete and earth. The machines
are underground and emerge by a
long runway in full flight. In return
ing they alight on the inclined plane,
down which the machines run easily
to their shelters.
