RYING sausages” is the latFest nickname given by wV > members of the British roy- 'wS al air force to the popular Wj sport of strafing German observation balloons. In the X TSSSSSa latest dispatches from general headquarters the exploits of some of the pilots and observers of the British planes read more like pages from Jules Verne than every-day exploits on a fighting front. The presence of a Hun observation balloon in the air is now a very uncommon sight, for the Instant the “sausage appears the royal air force “cooks” climb into the cockpits of their machines and are in the air, each striving to be the first to account for the Interloper. , One British pilot scouting behind the enemy s lines pounced on two of these balloons in swift succession and succeeded in setting fire to and destroying both. His petrol was beginning to run low at the time, so, he returned to his airdrome to refill. But his appetite for German “sausage” was apparently unslaked, for he set out immediately upon a second quest, sighted two more balloons, and, taking advantage of friendly clouds carefully stalked them. When within a short distance of his prey cloud cover failed him and he was perceived. The Huns rushed to the winches and endeavored to haul down both balloons. Putting down the.nose of his machine, the British pilot sped earthward after the swaying mass of fabric, and almost before the German mechanics had their winches working, the hunter had secured his first quarry, which fell a blazing, mass upon the Huns beneath. The other balloon was rather farther away, and the Germans, stimulated to frantic ef-' forts by the fate of/the first, hauled desperately and succeeded in getting it down almost to the ground before the British pilot arrived above: Not to be balked of his prey, and in spite of furious fire from below, he dived low enough to pump a burst of incendiary bullets, and had the satisfaction of increasing his bag for the day to four enemy balloons totally destroyed. During' their present retirement the Germans have made desperate efforts to remove as much ammunition as possible. A British pilot spotted a train of wagons engaged on this work and descended to 50 feet so as to make quite sure of his alm. Getting well into position, he opened fire on the rear wagon, knocking out two men on the box. 'Deprived of their drivers and terrified by the winged assailant, the horses bolted, and, colliding with a tree, upset the wagon. An extremely heavy fire was bj’ this time being directed upon the airman, and had already wounded him In the knee and severed the pressure feed pipe of his machine. He would not leave his job half done, however, and again maneuvering into position put In another burst which resulted In the overturning of two more and the stampeding of the remaining "Xyagons. On the same day a British machine working in conjunction with the infantry was attacked by four German scouts. This being about the odds which German airmen now demand, they doubtless thought they had found an easy prey. It is, of course, true that the British contact machine is not primarily designed, for fighting purposes, but Its pilot on this occasion, as always, was ready to give a good account of himself, and did so to such purpose that one of the attackers was speedily sent down out of control. During the fight the petrol tank of the British machine was pierced, being an instant menace of its destruction by fire. Thereupon the English observer promptly climbed out on. the lower plane and successfully plugged the hole with his handkerchief, remaining on the plane until his pilot succeeded in throwing off his pursuers and landing his machine safely behind the British lines. Two British officers were at work in a “sau-

Coinage of War Words

It Is obviously impossible in limited space to mention more than a few of the more striking words which the war has given us; and that is why my article of three or four weeks ago was Iso incomplete. Let me supplement it today and begin with the most glaring of the omissions—“camouflage.” I cannot remember any instance of a foreign word so peculiarly un-English as this not only being so rapidly and universally adopted but also being so rarely mispronounced. I still often overhear knots of men who in their talk about the war refer to the Kay-ser, and the utter angliciZation of French battle names by public house military experts is perhaps the most charming feature of their discussions; but “camouflage" remains as French in sound in this country as in its own, and every one uses it. Here, however, it has become so elastic as to be the recognized form for any kind of pretense whatsoever. lam not sure that Sir Walter Raleigh should not have added “camouflage” in his list of our “gains in the war” as enumerated in his recent lecture. I have been astonished recently by examples of the hold of “camouflage” on all types of mind. Journeying the other day from a Sussex station to London, under war conditions —fifty of us standing all the way in the guard’s van—l had some talk with the guard, who, on removing Ids cap to wipe a heated brow, reveale<| himself as bald, as the dome of St. Paul’s.

flage it with a wig, but not he. Earlier In the day my host, a vigilant and suspicious reader of the press, had dismissed an optimistic article on current events as “mere camouflage.” .The next day a schoolboy back for the holidays two weeks in advance of the proper time said that a scare of measles had brought about that desired result; at least, that is what the schoolmaster said, but personally he thought It was just camouflage to cover the fact that grub was getting so jolly expensive. And a little later a facetious gentleman -hear me in a restaurant asked the wine waiter to bring him some claret instead of the camouflaged water which he called whisky. Probably the word is in the nursery by this time. Another French word which also gets its full native value in the Anglo-Saxon mouth is “barrage;” but “barrage” has no general usage. The word “raid” Is as old as the Scottish border, but will never again be employed, I imagine, except in association with attacks by air. At first we always said “air raid,” but now “raid” alone is sufficient. Should the enemy find any other way* of hitting at the heart of us there will be another word than “raid" to describe his efforts. And to these I would add that early flower of Armageddon speech, “moratorium,” which for a while most of us took to be the name of a new liner. Perhaps the most notable slang phrase that the war has produced is “to get the wind up,” meaning to upset, or “rattle,” or put* the fear of God * into. Rut I speak only from the point of the homekeeping observer, awnre merely of such expressions as get into Londoh parl-ince. ' Here let me- thank many correspondents for

sage.” The Germans, resenting their attentions, turned two guns on to their balloon and made some rather good practice, holing It badly. This annoyed the English balloon officers considerably and they decided that the German gunners needed punishment. They accordingly called up the officers in charge of a British six-inch” gun and indicated to him tlie position of the German guns. ■ The balloon was now rapidly losing height as the result of enemy fire, and the position of the officers was dangerous. However, they stuck to their basket and continued to direct the fire of the British gun, having the satisfaction of witnessing the putting out of action of one of the hostile guns before the balloon had sunk too low for further observation. ' Then they got out of their basket and climbed well up the rigging of the balloon to save themselves In the now unavoidable crash. A British two-seater machine hovering at night

over an enemy concentration center observed — easily distinguishable in bright starlight—a column of transport consisting of about 20 wagons. Descending rapidly to 300 feet he landed two bombs —a hundredweight apiece—plumb in the center of the column. The destruction was enormous, and the remnant of the column scattered wildly in all directions. The British pilot rose again and waited, giving time for the German transport to reassemble. Diving once more, he found it, together with two other large lorries, in a sunken road where the Huns apparently hoped to escape further attack from the death-coaling raider. The British pilot released his remaining bombs from an altitude at which he could not miss his target, and then diving lower still opened lire with his machine guns, putting about 250 rounds into the confused mass of wreckage. A British two-seater machine while on patrol was attacked by a German triplane. The observer in the British machine promptly took up the challenge and opened fire, upon which the Hun made off eastward. Meanwhile eight German scouts had rapidly approached and, taking up position, four above and four below, attacked simultaneously* The British pilot realizing the danger of his position maneuvered desperately—rolling and side-slipping to avoid the enemy’s concentrated fire —whilst both he and his observer kept firing as opportunity offered. One of the German craft was sent down in flames and then the. British pilot was badly wounded. The work of both fighting and flying the machine now developed almost entirely upon the observer, who, by a really remarkable exercise of skill and pluck, succeeded In extricating the machine from its apparently hopeless position, whilst at the same /time firing occasional bursts from his gun at the pursuing Huns with his left hand, when they pressed too closely. He succeeded in safely landing his pilot and machine behind the British lines.

EVENT IN A SOLDIER’S LIFE.

Just to' show what makes an event in a soldier’s life that—as the soldiers see it —is really worth recording, here is a bit out of a letter from Harley Johnson, a Butler boy, printed in the Bates County (Missouri) Democrat: “Well, I am sure going to have something good for dinner. The cook told me that if I would get enough gooseberries to make two pies he would make them. So I started out to look for gooseberries and found them. I asked an old French woman to sell me some, and, don’t you know, she said they were no good and I had to laugh. She would not sell me any, but gave me all I could carry away and they were big ones, about the size of my thumb. So I had a pie all to myself.” What are bursting shrapnel and red blood to write about when a man has gooseberry pie?—St. Louis Republic.

their communications about the origin of “Blighty,” the derivation of that word having been a national industry for about three years now. One gentleman even goes so fat as to say that I asked for the Information; w-hereas no one has any idea how careful I was to do nothing of the kind, having a head only too full of devastating memories of the Hindustani word "Wflayati,” or "Balait,” meaning foreign or English, and its gradual transformation by Mr. Atkins in India into the now familiar (and very ugly) term for home. “Blighty’s’ 4 adventures are ancient history, but it was new to me that, as a reader kindly points out, “‘padre,’ in its meaning of clergyman, was carried to India by the Portuguese and adopted into Indian languages' long before the first English chaplain set foot in India. Like other Hindustani wohds used in our army, such as ‘rooty’" for bread and ‘dixie’ for camp kettle. It was brought home by our soldiers from India many years ago.” In my strictures on the word “Hun” I was too sweeping. I said that to borrow the name of invaders oftjje past with which to stigmatize invaders of the present was tame. But another correspondent reminds me that it was .the kalsei* himself who first applied the term. In the time, of fhc Boxer rebellion In China the kaiser issued a bombastic proclamation to the German contingent in Pekin under Count WnJdersee bidding them to behave like the Huns of Attila. This gentleman goes on to make the very interesting Suggestion ttftt some lexicographers should col lect the words which each of our great wars has added to tfie language.—E. V. Lucas in’ the Sphere.

HOW TO FIGHT SPANISH INFLUENZA

By DR. L. W. BOWERS.

Avoid crowds, coughs and cowards, but fear neither germs nor Germansi Keep the system in good order, take plenty of exercise in the fresh air and practice cleanliness. Remember a clean mouth, a clean skin, and clean bowels are a protecting armour against disease. To keep the liver and bowels regular and to carry away the poisons within, it is best to take a vegetable pill every other day,, made up of May-apple, aloes, jalap, and sugar-coated, to be had at most drug stores, known as Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets. If there is a sudden onset of what appears like a hard cold, one should go to bed, wrap warm, take a hot mustard foot-bath and drink copiously of hot lemonade. If pain develops in head or back, ask the druggist for Anuric (anti-uric) tablets. These will flush the bladder and kidneys and carry off poisonous germs. To control the pains and aches take one Anuric tablet evers two hours, with frequent drinks of lemonade. The pneumonia appears tn a most treacherous way, when the influenza victim is apparently recovering and anxious to leave his bed. In recovering from a bad attack of influenza or pneumonia the system should be built up with a good herbal tonic, such as Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery, made without alcohol from the roots and barks of American forest trees, or his Irontlc (iron tonic) tablets, which can be obtained at most drug stores, or send 10c. to Dr. Pierce’s Invalids* Hotel, Buffalo, N. X., for trial package.
