Wingham Boy's Interesting Experience

Ono cannot realize that nen are
down in the long blade and white lines
in the earth that one sees from the
nitu pine, or that the shelh you see
bursting eau do any harm. They look
like fire -crackers from about 10,0.0 feet
and you can't hear anythint. From
about 2,000 feet you can hear and feel
them too. Everyone that pasties near
yotir bus makes it jump up and then
fall. It is really very eeldotu that we
are below 10,000 feot. The only time
being when we are over taking photos
that things ate busy I can assure you,
Uciwever it is all in the game over
here and you really get to like it in
the air. When you ga up you have to
watch out for Hun machines, wal ch
out for "Archie" and as we aro a fight-
ing tquadron watch the receutteisance
machines or as we call theta "quirks"
that they don'( get hurt by aliens
sneaking up and -doing them in. You
know Me. Bocke is a very cute and
wily old bird and is op to all sorts of
tricks. Ile played one on u3 the other
day that I was very lucky to y.,•. out
of. Three of our machines v. ens up en
a "Iine patrol" protecting gallica we
could see three or four fauns ou the
otter tide seven or .eight milea
away doing the same but we
didn't bother them and they d'dn'o
bother us. It was very c1':tt'., and
we were down low about 2,5°0 a; with
some venturesome ' quiLk," 1 elow
us, Three Huns came across bidden
in clouds and suddenly dived on the
tails of the poor "quirks," we carne
tootling up and deove them off,
While we were doing so three more
came nut of the clouds and dropped un
ne. The first warning I had was the
machine gun going off in my ear, of
coarse I knew what happened and
tried to get my pop -gun on him, but
be was Egnarely -on my tail and I
couldn't -reach hien, my pilot put her
nose up but still I couldn't get him, do
he took a chance and made a quick
lurch so I could get my front gun in
action and all this time the Hun was
squattin(; there pumping hi bullets,
As soon as we turned the Hun tirade .off
and I could see four other Hun' on the
two other.machinea of our patrol. By
this time we weee dropping like fun.
Sir. Hun had punctured two out of
three of our patrol' tanks and o.: r.<.urse
wet went .sailing down, Beata: the
pilot could get his third tattle oe, :°ra
were so close to the t . relies
chat you could see the faces upturned
looking at us. We managed tie gat
home fiafely and found that bn.idee
tba two tanks he put one in the pro-
pellor, one j'xst hetye een-the pit t' legs
cut a control wire end put sews, 1 in
the wiuge, pretty good shiN'tior, I can
assure you. You may wan.lsr cva: we
.lidu't give chase. Well ow: eosa cin
only do 80 mites per hour a•:. .hero
little AIbatroet $touts of C11,,i. • .:'stn
dofront one hundred and fitte .piles
fiying.level to two hundred end eighty
utiles diving. I ;night say tenni •.ve
were the luckiest of the three th•it
went out that day, the other two being
brought down, one in f1.amee killing
both pilot and obsorvor and the other
hurt and knocked up, It is very pretty
bo see "Archie', 'bursting as it hurste
in absolutely round balls of -melte.
Some ere black—l1. E ; and some arta
white— hrapnei; some green—gat; and
believe me its .,,Ar Archie can shoot
some timee. You are fl rating along
rl rite peacefully when suddenly
"cronk" and several round black balls
are floating behind you. A few more
"cronks" and there is one just off your
wing tip and one just above, Then
our hear a whistling and the g b lark
nails no longer come up, white ones
now, and you begin to get nervous.
Your pilot now ,8 doing all sorts of
weird things with hie machine, turn-
ing, twisting, falling sideways, climb -
beg up again and all the time yon sit
tight and either swear or pray.
The above are a few of the trials
that beset us in the air, but there are
days when i1 rains or clouds ell over
and we du as R. F, 0, •.;ommand•

keep holy the "dud" daye neither shalt

Worthy Cause
:rte. Henry Yeigh and Mr, W. Ii,
Dewar, representing the National
Council of the Y. M. 0. A, met a few
of our citizens in the council chamber
on Wednesday evening, It was unan-
imously decided at this meeting to in-
augurate a campaign in Wingham for
the purpose of raising $2000 in aid of
the Y. M. 0. A. work among the boys
at the front.
Ofiioets to take charge of the cam-
paign were appointed as follows:'
Cnairmap,—J. A. Morton.
Treasurer, --0- P. Smith, •

vation Army, Ensign Clark and Z,

Mr. Yeigh, who is a brother to
Frank Yeigb, the well known lecturer
and author of "Five Thousand Facts
About Canada,” told of the excellent
service that this Y, M. 0. A. was doing
among the soldiers and how its work
was endorsed by national leaders in
civic and military circles,
"Whatever Sir Sam's faults may
have been, be was always a friend to
the Y. M. C. A.," said Mr. Yeigb, who
told of what the organization was ac-
complishing in the way of furnishing
flee whiting material, hot drinks.
nptt'atii g canteens, furnishing ath•
retie supplies, providing'` for free en-
tertainments, attending to the relig-
ious needs of the men, and a score of
other tbings, the tendency of which
is to keep up the moral and the fight-
ina spirts of the Canadian forces,
"Leet year," he stated, "it took
$100,000 to do the work, and 1 his year
'-'e will require three quarters of a
million.
! Mr. Yeigh was favorably impressed
with the attitude of the business men
!with whom he came in contact and
predicted a aicceseful campaign.
On Wednesday evening, May pod,
a lecture, and entertainment will he
held in the town hall and will be ad-•
dressed by Lieut, Trivett, ,a returned
soldier and graduate of Wycliffe Col-
lege, who will give bis thrilling sleety
of life in the trenches. 1118 lecture
will be illustrated by moving pictures
which were taken right at the firing
line. These pictures will be well
worth seeing. Lieut. Trivett enlisted
as a private and served ten months in
the firing line, he also served three
months in a Y. M. C. A. dugout, and
purposes returning to the front. A
male chorus will render several selec-
tions. Band ill attendance.
