With this knowledge stored away I was now on my way to visit an American squadrilla in actual service at the front. As we approached the last town between us and the trenches I finished telling the lieutenant from general headquarters about a submarine I had seen captured while cruising with our destroyer flotilla in English waters. He agreed that it was as fine a bit of luck as ever fell to a ' , correspondent. But lightning never strikes twice in the same place, he added. You used up all the luck that is coming to you in this war. You wont get in on anything like that again. He was, however, mistaken. Natures laws are said to be without exceptions, but he had no more than said it before the lightning violated all precedents and .struck again through the raised hand and arm of an American military policeman on the edge of the town. Pinched our sergeant chauffeur exclaimed when the hand went up. He was not altogether, joking. Military law is not unlike that of the Medes and Persians which aitereth not. Because of some mixup in their passes three had correspondents been pinched by the military police and brought back to M. G. H. Q. the week before in a state of uncertainty as to whether or no they would be shot at sunrise. The sergeant added as the car rolled on to a slow stop: You can get by the French military police with any old thing beer, check, laundry bill, chewing gum coupon, anything thats written in English and looks official, but when them s of ours hold up a hand it means you. See Boche Planes. The iron Jaw, however, was relaxed in a pleasant smile Saluting, Its owner informed us : If you drive round by the public square you will see two Boche planes our boys have Just shot down. Its worth your while, for these are the first planes brought down by American aviators flying our own flag. First submarine first plane!" the lieutenant commented as we drove on.

He and Campbell had got out early for the first official flight nntl were playing cards in a tent near their hangar while the mechanics tuned up The morning was their machines. clear, sunlight streaming between soft clouds high over the flying field. From the sand bag targets, where a machine gun was being lined up, and synchronized with the motor, came staccato bursts of firing. Everything was going on as usual, when in response to a telephone call from some far observation post, a bugle shrilled ont the Alerte ' I was already In my flying togs, Winslow explained, and so got Into the air at once. Campbell followed about a minute later. The Boche come into view, flying had planes just quite low, not higher than 1,000 feet. Their pilots said afterward that they were lost and mistook our station for their own, otherwise they would never have ventured into such , a hornets nest. f To me it seemed Impossible.
