IN THE WEST.
HEROIC FEATS. ON EARTH AtfD IN AIR. Received May 31, 8.5 p.m, London, May 30. Among the long list of <leeds for the latest honors nothing is more notable that that of Second Lieut. Campbell, of the Engineers. The Germans dug a mine and primed it with over a ton of'high explosives. It only required the lighting to the fuse, but apparently the Germans were awaiting ya" favorable moment. Campbell cut into the gallery and removed the entire charge. He has has been awarded the Military Cross. Another fine story is that of SecondLieutenants Lord Doune and Walker, who, in aeroplanes, sighted a Fokker a thousand feet below. They dived, Walker firing at sixty feet range, while Doune headed straight at the Fokker. Both opened fire and shot away the Foker's wing, and the craft fell into the British lines. Both aviators have received the Military Cross.
