RICIUND TIIK BRITISH LINKS IN l-'RANCE, Aug. 31. (Correspond ence of the Associated 1'ress.) Night, as well al day, Is full of work and hustle at an army aerodome. NU'ht flights are not frequent, but the time when the mechanics are busiest, putting everything right for whatever tomorrow may bring forth. Long alter the sun has sunk be neath the tops of ttic hangars and the trees have changed from green to black, the hard-worked airplanes drift homeward, crossing the evening sky like black specks on a purple cloth and landing with a deep dron ing on the clipped grass, lame and weary from a long afternoon's work over the lines. The day's work Is finished; reports are handed In, and the 'pilots saun ter down to their mess tent among tho trees. The mechanics appear, wheel the machines into their re spective hangars, and the night's work is begun. It Ik seventeen miles to (he shell holes of No Man's laud, and all the horrors of war. The long white road, thick, with the dust of trans port. Is silent. The flat aerodrome is in darkness Tint the hangars, loom ing black against the evening sky, are bright within. There is much to be done. Mazes of wires must be overhauled; many be replaced or tautened. The enemy antl aircraft artillery has been active and some of the planes bear witness of its work. The canvas wings of one ma chine are riddled and need long and patient attention before It will be fit for service again. On another, t ho flying struts must be renewed. On another, the wings are out of shape, the result of straining ma noeuvres In acrobatic lighting. The whole means a hard seven hours' work for the entire staff of mechanics. They settle down to It as a matter of routine. Kvery time a machine comes back from the lines it has to be overhauled, per haps dismantled. .New gadgets must lie llfTed, the engine repaired and cleaned. Airplanes are alter all very delicate pieces of mechanism and need continual attention. Without It they are useless, even dangerous. The accuracy of hundreds ot meas urements, the- trustworthiness of hundreds of parts, are essential to good Hying and. reliability, and just as much depends on these factors as on the skill of the pilot. strong suspicions of the prea- ence of typhoid. Owing to this fact, the doctor again urges upon all users of city water to boil every drop of water used for drinking purposes, as that will safeguard against Infec drome during the night hours is known as the "orderly officer." Warmly clad, to keep out the chills of the night, he walks around the busy sheds and hangars, now and then offering a word of advice or encouragement, but always with an ear for the telephone bell, for at any moment orders may come through for night bombing or the warding off of some hostile aircraft. Such orders are very rare, but everything la ready for them when they come. The work In the hangars is bo ar ranged that the steeds appointed tor the next day's work shall be ready j an it u ii i uviuiu uu wit. me iirsi rays of the sun light up the aero drome, the machines are wheeled out on the "tarmac," oiled and attuned for the morning's flight.
