He says: 1 Dear "Abboo": y Well I expect that this will be the first letter of this kind that you ever received, for it is being written 3400 feet above the ground in a basket, a little better than three feet square. Was sent up to take my fourth flight of the six that I have to take out here but there is so much turns. ground haze that I can't see any thing so they are just letting me sit up here aid wait in hopes that it will clear Ip. Three Airplanes There are three aeroplanes aN tached to the field here for the pur pose, of taking photos of the dif ferent targets that we shoot on, in order that they may correct the maps to a certain extent. You lo cate a shot alongside of some out standing piece of woods or promin ent house on the ground and then you "look on your map and part of the time you can't find a sign of such a place. That is one of the things that you have to contend with and that makes the course of flying so hard. It is usually nice and calm out here and- is that way now altho yesterday afternoon when I was up we had about a thirty-five mile an hour wind which caused the balloon to pitch around quite a good deal. We had an accident out here last Saturday about noon, which might very easily have pVoven fatal, but did not do so. I -wrote Eleanor, (Mrs. Stockfield) fully last Satur day and more than likely shelias already told you all about it Ifwas caused by the automatic valve line slipping so tlvt the valve wouldn't w,ork, and as a consequence the gas had tcexpand sonjewfiere, so it just naturally ripped the bag wide open. It was the first time that anyone had ever heard of such a thing hap pening with anyone in the balloon and there isn't one chance in a miltion of it happening again. They are having guard mount down below now and although it is over half a mile straight down, I can hear the band playing about as loud as if it were a block away. I can hear the trucks running around, hear the street cars 'lots of time long before yOu can see them down some of these wooded drives. And when it is real calm the order of the officers drilling the men float, up. ' There' is football practice going on just a little to my right, down below and I can hear all of the signals as the quarter-back gives them to the men. About a half a mile to the left of me one of the aeroplanes is flying and thepilot is putting on a lot of fancy stuff, such as flying upside down, loop ing the loop, and fancy dives and Last -Saturday morning I saw 106 aeroplanes all flying in one formation, a big V like ducks and geese fly. Some sight. They were strung "but clear across the sky and were moving right along. All were from March Field at Riverside, near San Pedro. The flying field, where all the balloons go up out here, is in the quarter-stretch of the old Lucky Baldwin track They have remodel ed some of the old stables forbar racks and are remodeling the major ity of the rest of them. I guess they are going to pull me down in a few minutes now as it is too hazy to see any shots and they have given up for the day. It is now three o'clock and I have not as yet had any lunch; for I have been sitting up here reading and writ ing since 10:30 this morning. EDWARD K. STOCKFELD. BONDS BOUGHT . BY 25,000,000 INDIVIDUALS Will Take-Many ays to Com pile Reports of Loan Sub scriptions From Entire; Country. Washington, Oct. 20. Probably 25,000,000 or more individuals , bought bonds of the fourth Liberty ; loan, unofficial reports reaching Washington today showed. A Iarg proportion of these filed their sub-' scriptions during the last few days of the campaign, which ended last night. Consequently, it will be a task of many days actually to count the pledges, and to compile reports from the entire country. Definite figures and the total sub- scriptions to the loan were not available here tonight. Local and district campaign managers, fa tigued' with their arduous duties of the solicitation work, rested today and will not start until tomorrow to figure up the avalanche of last minute purchases. The only of ficial figures in hand here were of Friday night, showing about $1,400, 000.000 yet to be subscribed. Despite this total lack of definite v information, officials were confident that the $6,000,000,000 popular war credit had been oversubscribed. This belief was based on indications that advance . promises of large sums from financial interests in New York and elsewhere would be found to be fulfilled when the final count is made.

Alongside posi tions where the French cannon were hurling death into the 'enemy's ranks in the battles of the Avre, Aisne and Oise, American harvest ers were hard at work. Around Montididier where grain fields were part of the battleground, self-binders were- gathering a rich harvest. Where the big machines could no;t reach the grain because of wire entanglements, shell-holes, and trenches soldiers armed with scythes and sickles cut the stalks and recovered every kernel that could be saved. North of the Aisne the advancing French found acres where the Ger mans had worked hard to reap the wheat they had sown, but had found a threshing machine almost intact near Moreuil, the polius found the time too short. East of Avre, evidence that the harvesting had been carried on almost up to the last minute. All the other farm im plements had been taken away or destroyed.
