OVER HUN TOWN
Young American Aviator Tells of
Drive Over the Ger
man Lines.
SHELLS BURST ALL AROUND
V
Squadron Proceeds Methodically With
Its Work Under Constant Fire of
Anti-Aircraft Guns—All Re
turn to Base.
London.—American bombing squad
rons are now bombing the Rhine val
ley along with the British. The Yank
pilots and observers, like their breth
ren of the royal air force, enter into
ibis “sport” with the same spirit that
has made them famous on the baseball
diamond or football gridiron of their
own American colleges.
A young American aviator has just
told of a trip over the German lines
and bark behind into German territory.
The formation in which the American
airmen flew consisted of 11 big bomb
ing machines, each of which carried
1 .G00 pounds of high explosives, three
machine guns and three men. This
was the boy’s story:
After T had tried tbe guns on my
machine, checked the bombs, marie
everything was ship-shape, and
put a couple of little bombs into a
mil hag beside me, started my en
gine. The big motors growled away,
waiting for the starting flash. Soon
the signal came and we were off.
High Altitude Reached.
“For twenty minutes we climbed, un
til tlie earth was just a black blot. An
other twent.v-flve minutes and we were
over the trenches, with the searchers
groping about in the mists below us.
The big guns crashed away cont.nu-
msly, and we could see the explosions
from where we soared high above
them. No sooner had we crossed the
lines than the Germans start-ill firing
at us with their anti-aircraft guns.
Once a German searchlight got right
on us with its beam of light. We fired
couple of rounds of mnehine-gun
fire at the Germans who were manning
the searchlight, and it went out.
“Fnr below us we could see the
lights of a loeofhotive. Finally we
reached our objective. According to
plan, we throttled our motors and
glided toward the earth to get nearer
our target. It seemed curiously quiet.
Hien suddenly (he earth deemed to
open below 11s. Seventeen searchlights
were turned on us by the Germnns,
and their shafts of light swept nil
about us. The anti-aircraft guns
made a wall ahead of us. The high-
explosive shells hurst on every side
of us, and the green-fire balls swayed
and spiraled as they tried to set us on
fire. The American machines went
straight, on, with never a waver or a
turn. There were so many crashes
thnt I thought more than once that we
were lilt. We kept straight on.
Amid Blinding Rays.
"Suddenly one of the German
searchlights got us and the rest of the
seventeen threw around us with a sud
denness thnt made their concentra
tion feel like a blow. We fired our
machine guns until the tips of the
weapons got red and the glow be
gan to creep up the barrels. The
whole seventeen beams were on us, al
though we plunged and side-slipped
about In a despernte way. We let go
the borqjra when we were right over
the mark. The antiaircraft shells
were getting even closer than ever
nnd the machine was hit time and
again, though not In a vital spot. Why
we were not literally blown out of
the air I do not know. After we were
well over the mark and had dropped
all our bombs we discovered one 250-
pound bomb which had caught fast
In the rack and failed to drop when
released. Consequently we swung
back on a second run and when we
were over the place which we had
bombed we let go the last bomb and
scored a direct hit far below.
“We went home nt a high speed.
We crossed our own trench lines nt
about 3,000 feet up, saw soma famil
iar landmarks, headed for our own
airdrome, fired our signal and got
the answer. A few minutes later we
had landed. A glance over the ma
chine saw two Mg tears in the side
of the fuselage and many holes in
the wings.
“But we had done a splendid bit of
bombing, and such damage ns our ma
chine had suffered was by no means
difficult to repair.”

London.—Harrowing details of the
destruction of one of the largest and
more recently constructed Germnn
submarines are given in a dispatch
from a neutral correspondent. This
submarine was one cf the last to leave
Zeebritggo before the entrance to the
harbor was blocked by British forces
on April 24.
The U-boat struck a mine, and out
of the crew of 40 only two survived on
reaching the surface after a terrible
struggle with death for an hour and
a half, 20 fathoms below the surface.
Some of the crew committed suicide,
having lost all hope of leaving the boat
alive.
The only chance of escaping wns to
force open the conning tower and the
forward hatches and trust to the com
pression of air in one part of the ves
sel to force each man like a torpedo
to the surface. The air pressure in
the submarine had become so high that
a great majority of the Germans could
not keep their mouths closed.
The compressed air shot them ty
the surface and hardly had they
reached the seu level when the air
pressure burst their lungs and about
twenty of them sank like stones. The
survivors described the yells of the
men, when the end cume, ns the most
horrible noise they fead ever heard.
The .attention of a British trawler
was attracted nnd it hastened to the
rescue. The condition of the-survivors
showed that their experiences in the
submarine had been of a dreadful
character.
