The enemy planes come over to try and shoot down our obv narration balloons and it hi lots ot‘ fun to see the observers jump from their baskets and float down in their wuaehutes. They generally get down mfely but sometimes have had places to land such as woods and swamps and in those case‘s sometimes get hurt. The observers in the American Army only have to make three jumps and they are honorably (lisdmlgedythe French observers are discharged the same only they have to make {our jumps and it is eompulmry to be an observer in the French Army when (In-y are picked while in the American run-vice it is voluntary.

Today we saw an American aviator make a fumed finding on a hill top. his machine turned completely over when it hit the ground due to the fart than his propeller was broken, he didn‘t get a scratch himself but his machine was a wreck. He had been mixed up with three Jerry mar chines across the line and they shot hls machine into pretty bad shape. he was very fortunate in landing on this side and without injury. He was just a lad of 19 years old and Wu a int. Lieutenant. The aviator» all seem to be very young judging from the ones we have seen, he was a real pleasant lad to talk to and didn’t seem the least bit excited over anything. just an if it was an every day oeeuram-e esâ€" 11w hallo-u mm in 82 {M lam! and 27 foot in W min! «m- n- no you an Sir-(inc how my mimuu they but who» u down or no Inn-mm NM: un- pun-kin!
