NEWTON. Mass., - Jan. 2. The first direct communication from Lieut. Harold B. Willis of the Lafayette Escadrllle, who disappeared while i'llog over the German lines Aug. IS, was received by his parents here recently. The Red Cross had discovered the missing aviator in a German prison camp, but Willis' letter revealed for the first time the story of his capture. "My last flight was some distance within the lines," he wrote. "One of the boys in front of me attacked an I was able to put away my asallant, but was immediately jumped on by two others, later by a third. To avoid being riddled from the rear I had .o turn and engage, and was thus separated from friends on my level. Frenc.a machines above me evidently did not see my situation. "Almost immediately my motor was hit and only ran intermittently, so that they could always keep above me. My efforts became the avoidance of fire on the line of flight and io regain the group of lines. I did not succeed, however, in any of these on account of loss of motor, and the od.'s against me. I landed twenty kilometers in the rear. An . adversary landed beside me and proved very correct and sympathetic. My machine was hit thirty times, in body, motor and windshield. Half the cables were cut, tire shot away and an unknown number of holes in the wings. "They took me to lunch and later to the rear. The treatment since continues correct. . "My chief distress has . been my inability to tell you of my safety, and, further, my exile from the front an! the fighting. "Am with splendid French, offices. Am studying German, doing sketching end wood earring.'' The letter was three and a half months on the way.

CIRCUSES MAY BE MOTORIZED

PERU, Ind., Jan. 2. Owing to recent developments in connection with government control of the railroads, the proprietors of the John Robinson shows, of this city, and other big circuses of the country, are uneasy over the probability of not being able vto take the road the coming season. When the various big shows closed, for the season last fall, and also since that time, the circus managers have been officially advised by the railway transportation department that they could not guarantee transportation for the coming season. Among the big shows affected are the John Robinson, the Hagenbeck Wallace, the Ringling Bros, and the Barnum & Bailey, in particular, on account of their size, while the smaller railroad shows will be affected in proportion, but it may be that they will resort to the wagon route. The managers of the Robinson shows say that if the big circuses are unable to take the road in the spring it wiil result in losses of many thousands of dollars to the owners. They are expending now large sums of money wintering their stock and otherwise making preparations for the coming season. As a last resort it is said it would be deemed adviable to

motorize the circus ouslness aad In this manner traverse the country, or to divide the shows up Into units and go back to the wagon style. There has been some talk to the effect that the government may require all the draft stock of the big circuses for use in the army.

KILLS SELF AFTER ATTACK
