AMERICAN ARMY FIELD HEAD
QUARTERS, France. Nov. 6—"If I
were only ten or fifteen years younger
I'd certainly go in for flying".
The colonel was standing on the
lawn in front of the American artil
lery barracks, peeking through his
field glasses at one of his young lieu
tenants a mile overhead. Youth has
the call in the air service. Junior of
ficers “will fly” according to orders.
Men like the colonel, who wished he
could cut off Id years of his age. will1
have to go on with this war directing
their guns from the ground while the
host of our youngsters dodge shells
1 among the clouds.
dying came near raising earn with
the order of things in the artillery.
Most of the younger officers applied
for instructions in flying the very day
facilities were placed at our disposal.
| A few others were doubtful about
I giving up actual guns but as a rule
one flight was enough to make them
aviation fans.
This morning as the colonel follow
ed the silvery plane with his glasses,
the American flyer sailed up and down
the artillery range learning the game
of shell-fire and the wireless station
on the ground was getting his terse,
technical sentences about this shell
and that one hitting the target or
breaking wild.
Another aeroplane jumped into the
air over the flying grounds. It steer
ed over the barracks, past the flaming
guns and the sweating gunners, skim
med over the indolent sausage baloon
and disappeared on a maping tour.
Half an hour later he returned. He
scrambled out of the cockpit like an
awkward young bear, bundled up In a
piece of fur, masked with wide goggles
and crowned with a tan helmet.
“Be slire to look over the river”, he
advised, “its a wonderful sight from
U? there. Wo went about twenty
rdllCil Uy etWAm on this maping stunt”,
ilo an amateur tlyer back home
and can handle a machine alone—If
they’ll let him. Some of his brother
lieutenants saw him loop-the-loop to
'prove it, but he doesn't have a chance
to do stunts at this camp. The lieu
tenant skinned off the flying suit and
handed it to me.
In two minutes I was streaking
■acros France straight at the sun. The
pilot banked a turn and I looked
straight down that wing wondering
whether we'd land on the barracks or
In the gun-pit. The guns were there
knew exactly where to look for them.
So for the French artists who paint
on the canouflage.
Somehow we did'nt fall and the rtde
began to be a pleasure. We sailed
over the river and sailed back again;
we dipped low across the roofs of the
barracks again and then jumped up
ward a thousand feet. Then the pilot
pulled some jiggers that brought us
down with a gentle bounce in front of
the hangar.
' In twenty minutes I had learned the
thrill that makes our young artillery
officers go in for far the most dan
gerous game of the war.
