TRENCH TALES.
(By United Press)
A slightly wounded South African
gave an account of doings with Ger
man snipers concealed in a woods.
“'We went up as a fatigue party to
do a bit of cleaning up and redig
some of the old dugouts In a bit of
wood," he said. "Our front firing line
position was only about 300 yards
further on, and beyond a bit of odd
artillery work and some musketry
there wasn't much doing. We had
been warned to look out for German
snipers behind the line, and sure
enough there were half a dozen of
them In the wood we went to. They
had lain low when the place was
first searched or else had crept in
during the night. I came around a
bit of a mound right on to one just
hr he fired on one of our fellows, and.
we had him over before he could wr,rk
another round on us. Then we sta/ted
a little battle all our own, ar.d for
half an hour we were shooting all over
the place in the woods. Twb of them
surrendered, and we found one woun
ded and pretty near dead, the other
four were killed off. It was quite a
good bit of fun — much better than
the digging fatigue which was what
we were up there for.”

I
BATTLE IN AN
(By United Press)
WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES,
June 1». — Adjutant Madon, of the
French army aviation has Just re
ceived a new citation to the order
if the day before the French armies
tor what might be termed the first
Hand to hand battle between an aero
plane and infantry.
By leaving a Gorman infantry pa
trol of twenty members annihilated,
Madon has demonstrated that the ma
chine gun mounted aeroplane Is as
deadly on the ground as in the air.
Madon, who is one of the crack
“aces” of the French aerial service,
with eight German machines to his
credit, had his battle Just after bring
ing down his eighth victim.
This encounter hud taken place
miles behind the German lines. In
the sharp manoeuvring about his Ger
man antagonist before he finally
caught the latter square In the range
of his machine gun and sent him
gyrating to the earth, Madon over
strained his motor, throwing out of
gear the rythmic throb so essential to
flying.
Too far away from the French lines
to cut off his motor and volplane to
safety, Madon tunl only one chance.
This was to descend behind the enemy
lines with the hope of getting his mo
tor started properly and getting back
Into the air before the enemy should
pounce upon him.
Selecting a cleared space hack of
i forest, Madon alighted and began
he hasty readjustment. Presently ho
lotlced a man approaching, stating at
Him curiously. As the individual was
lot in uniform, and as he was far
mough back of the German lines to
ie In territory where the civil popu
atlon might still he, he decided the
man must be a French peasant. Call
ing out to him in French, he said:
"Please go away quickly, my friend.
I don't need your services and your
presence might attract the Germans."
Within an Instant Madon was dls
llusloned. Turning, the man uttered
a command In German and signalled
for an advance. Instantly a German
patrol leaped to Its feet, and with
rifles aimed started to bear down on
the French aviator.
Almost at the same Insant the motor 1
r,f the airplane began the rhythmic
(hugging that indicated that it was
again operating properly. Madon then 1
leaped to his seat, loosened his brakes, *
adjusted his machine gun and charged
at ever inert is ng speed on the ad
vancing infantry patrol.
The latter opened fire with their ’
rifles as Madon's machine gun caught I
them In Its deadly sweep. The Ger
mans went down as though mowed by
a cycle, not over three or four re- 1
mainlng standing or kneeling.
Madon Increased the speed of his <
engine and then bore down on the |
few remaining Germans. Whether
they fell before the wings of the aero
plane struck them, or were mowed
down by the machine, Madon does
not know. He known that he swept
over them and an insant afterward had
taken the air.
