It seemed that
reports had been received at general headquarters that the
rioters, driven out of Coblenz, were gathering in smaller towns
throughout the occupied area, and making demonstrations and
inflammatory speeches against the American "invaders."
Many aviators were detailed to fly over all the neighboring
territory and get information of the movements and numbers of the
rioters, so that troops could be sent to the threatened points and
suppress the uprisings before they assumed serious proportions.
Among the aviators detailed to this work was Dick Lever, and on
his return from one of these excursions he sought out his Army Boy
friends. For a considerable time he had been detailed to other
parts of the occupied territory, but now his headquarters were
temporarily near the barracks in which the boys were situated.
So it happened that one evening as Frank, Bart, and Billy were
strolling toward the canteen, they were both surprised and
delighted to espy the long, athletic figure of their friend. Dick
was no less glad to see them, and everybody for some distance
around was apprised of the fact that old comrades had met once
more.
