A tribute to British airmen was recently published in the Neuste Nachrichten of Kiel, the article hav- ing been written, it was stated, by a wounded aviator of the German air service, who was then convalescing from wounds received on the French front. man wrote: "We had hard days at La Maison- nette. Thence we could see seven- teen captive balloons simultaneous- ly. They were close together in groups, so it made no . difference when some blazed up and sank. 'We could quite well see our air- men fly over them and squirt some- thing at one until black smoke arose and thé whole balloon turned round and waggled down. But all the rest held out at their pests. They were smart fellows, and unfortunately their observation was only too good. "The gigantic numbers of enemy airmen exceeded anything seen or experienced in this war. By 3.30 a. m. they wére already flying, and they = cruised with the greatest coolness in the midst of 'our fire. They fly so low that we can make out the small- est details with the naked eye. Their airmen carry out peace-time ma- noeuvres, and are indifferent to all dangers. They even shot at us in our holes and trenches with machine guns, and when' they want to find out bomb proofs they come down still lower, until actually within pistol shot. i "Many of them have been shot down, and when their 'photographs have been developed we have been able to distinguish the entrances to our shelters. Their artillery has 'much to thank 'them for." "BEND YOUR KNEES" Yn (Passengers in Elevator Escaped Injury by Obeyihg Cry.
