HARRY DAVIS FRANK TAYLOR
FRENCH AIRMEN
! STARTLE CROWD
| ON U.S. FIELD
—
FORT WORTH, T?x.—An air
plane running wild in -.lid-air and
cutting all the daring capers that
j such a machine is capable of pel
forming, while two skilled French
aviators sat calmly in their seats
] each believing the other was direct
j ing the flight, recently amazed
American aviation officers and
cadets here who watched its stari
j ling gyrations.
Eventually, after hair-raising
loops, dives and side-slips in which
the airplane almost grazed the
earth, it dove nose-first into the
ground, driving the engine back
' through the fusilage up to where
i one of the aviators sat, but injuring
j neither of them.
The two French aviators who so
■ narrowly escaped death were Le
Maitre and Soulier, who have brought
down several German airplanes in
the fighting on the Western front
; in France.
; Le Maitre was in the back seat
and took the plane from the ground.
I The machine had climbed a few hun
. dred feet when Soulier raised his
| hands to his head, the usual signal
| of a pilot that he will take control
j of the plane. So Le Maitre sat
! at ease.
1 Then for eight minutes the air
j plane gave a performance the like
j of which never before had been
seen by the spectators. It comprised
the whole known category of stunts
and added new ones with amazing
suddeness. Those below gasped in
wonderment when the machine sud
denly dived within a few feet of
| the ground. It seemed impossible
j that any one would handle the ma
; chine with such dexterity and reck
less abandon.
: The spectators, however, saw Le
i Maitre and Soulier smiling calmly,
j Suddenly the plane crashed down
| ward and buried its nose in the
! earth. The aviators stepped calmly
i from under the demolished plane
, and faced each other.
“What do you think you are do
ing, anyway; trying to scare me,
j eh?” said Le Maitre.
I
j “What was I trying to do?”
j echoed Soulier. “What were you
: trying to do to me?”
i Then it developed that during th<
: eight minutes they had been in the
air neither aviator had touched the
controls. Soulier had been merelj
adjusting his helmet when Le Maitre
saw the movement and mistook il
for the signal that Soulier intended
to take control of the airplane
While the machine was running wild
each aviator thought the other was
trying to have a little fun at his
expense.
“I was determined not to exhibit
any feeling,” said Le Maitre wher
the situation was explained. “1
, thought Soulier was trying some
stunts to test my nerve.”
“I thought the same thing,” saic
Soulier.

CROWDER ISSUES
APPEAL 10 ALE
REGISTRANTS
You have been selected, by the
congress of the nation and by the j
board of your own community, to |
fill the ranks of our National army.
Your appointed task is to defend !
our country from the force and;
fraud of a ruthless enemy. Begin
Now.
Your call to arms is coming, in
due season. But in the meantime
your very selection by the boards;
of your community marks you as
possessing already a privilege and
a duty. You are not only to bear
arms when the time comes. You
are to prepare to be worthy and
capable. Begin Now.
The more you think now about
the things which a true soldier must
know, the more competent and sat
isfied you will be when the actual
call arrives. What do you know
of a soldier’s daily duties? What
do you know of an army’s organi
zation? What do you know of the
work and science of its several
branches—infantry, cavalry, artil
lery, signal, quartermaster, ordnance
and the rest? What do you know
of the weapons, the tools, and the
materials that each of them uses?
What do you know' of the geography
of the great battlefield of Europe?
What do you know of the nations
arrayed for and against us? How
intelligent are you as to the causes
and objects of this war? Do you
realize that as a good soldier you
have much to iearn, and that the
sooner you learn it the better a sol
dier you will be when you arrive
in camp? Begin Now.
Do you know the men of thus
town and country that are to join
the ranks w'ith you? Have you re
flected that the greatest friendship
that one man has for another in this
world is the friendship that grows
up between those who have fought
side by side? Have you realized
that all of you, here in this country,
now form a picked band of brothers
in arms, destined to see each other
through, in many a crisis in the days
to come? Have you made a start
of these friendships yet? Begin Now.
Have you ever thought that our
enemy is atacking us, not only in
Europe, but at home? Have you
realized that his especial trickery
consists in seeking to make men dis
loyal here in our own community?
Have you tried to discover and sup
press the enemy’s work here in the
peaceful region of our own homes?
Since your appointed task is to act
as the defenders of our country,
why wait till you are called to
camp? Your time for that has come
already. Begin Now.
From now on, regard yourselves,
as a selected fraternity of active
patriots. Strengthen those who are
weak. Encourage those who are
timid. Inspire the indifferent. In
form the ignorant. Search out the ;
slackers. Begin now to make every ,
one of you into a good soldier, a
capable defender of our country, in
spirit, in knowledge, and in physical
fitness. ;
There never was a war to which
men could give themselves with
greater confidence and devotion.
There never was a war in which a
man had less excuse for holding
back. There never was a time when
a man could be more desirous to
be known as a soldier. There never
will be a century in the world’s his
tory in which a man’s family, his
townsmen, and his countrymen, will
be prouder to point him out as one
of THEIR men—one of the men
who had the honor of being in the
army.
This is YOUR war. You are go
ing to win it by what you are—good
Americans and good soldiers. You
are good Americans already. It will
take some time to make good soldiers
out of you. The sooner you start,
the sooner you will arrive. Begin
Now!

LAUNCH DAMAGED
BY MIDNIGHI FIRE
A small fire occurred last night
at the waterfront and on inquiry it
was ascertained that the canvas top
of the launch Sunbeam and two
cushions on the boat were prac
tically destroyed as the result of the
blaze. The fire is thought to have
started from a spark from loco
motive No. 5 lighting on the canvas
top of the boat, which was moored
to the dock- It was seen by one
of the men working on the dock
helping to load the steamer Shu
sana. and he with a few of his
fellow workmen succeeded in put
ting out the blaze before much dam
age was done.
The few Nenanaites who happened
to be around about midnight did
not realize that there was any dan
ger from fire; and some among
them, who heard the whistle thought
it might be the steamer Yukon or
some boat making the dock, or one
jf the trains coming or going. No i
regular alarm such as the people
ire used to, appears to have been
leard, and consequently, the re
sponse was not as prompt as it
itherwise might have been.
Central did not know anything
ibout the fire, as nobobdy seems to
tave turned in an alarm there.
The town fire bell was not rung
intil some considerable time after
:he whistle was blown. Both the
:own and Commission chemicals re
sponded, but were not needed.
Fred Major returned to Nenana
today on the steamer Yukon, after
an absence of several weeks in the
States, whither he went to under
go treatment for his eyes.
