MAKES HIS THIRD ESCAPE

Eugene Gilbert, French Aviator, Flees Swiss Camp Again—Gets to Italy. Paris.—For the third time Eugene Gilbert, the French aviator, has escaped from' the camp in Switzerland where he was interned. The aviator, who made several aeroplane records before the outbreak of the war, was compelled by lack of gasoline to land on Swiss soil after making a raid un the Zeppelin factory at Friedrichshafen. He made his first attempt to escape soon after his Internment and managed to reach Paris, but he was sent back when the Swiss authorities declared that he had not given them sufficient notice of his withdrawal of his promise not to attempt to escape. In February the aviator again tried to make his way out of Switzerland, but was arrested at Olten. According to the Petit Parislen, M. Gilbert has succeeded this time in making his way to Italy.
