SOUTHERN AVIATORS DO ‘
| DARING WORK IN FRANCE
Paris, May 12.—The American avia
tors forming the I'ranco-Arnerican fly
ing corps took. part in an expedition
over the German lines today for the
first time as a separate unit. They
sustained particularly heavy shelling
as they recrossed the front, but land
ed safely.
f The flotilla, including the craft pilot
ed by Corpal Kiffen Rockwell, of At
lanta; Corporal J. M. McConnell, of
Carhtage, N. C.; Sergent Elliott Cow
din of New York; Lieutenant William
K. Thaw, of Pittsburg; Sergeant Nor
man Prince, of Boston, and Sergeant
Hall, of Galveston, stgrted at day
break and spent nearly two hours re
connoitering under a hot fire but en
countered no German machines.
C‘orporal McConnell was flying at a
height of 12,000 feet, but German
shells burst all around him, showing
that the range of the German anti-air
craft guns had lengthened.
Corperal Victor Chapman’s machine
was hit and driven out of its course,
returning so late to its base as to
cause anxiety regarding Chapman’s
fate. The aeroplane piloted by Lieu
tenant Thaw lost port of its tail piece
and the propellor was damaged by a
shall.
Three more Franco-American flo
tillas are to be organized from the
forty additional American volunteers
now in training.

MISS DAVIS SOBS HER
STORY OF NIGHT RIDE
Dawson, May 18.—Lem Bramlett
jointly indicted with Jesse Westbrook
both prominernt young men of Ameri
cus, for kidnapping Miss Elom Davis,
a popular 16-year old Terrel county
girl and member of a highly respect
ed family, went on trial in the supe
rior court here this afternoon.
Miss Davis proved an exceedingly
stubborn witness and, for more than
an hour sqbbingly answered the pues
tions which the prosecuting attorney
put to her, but she denied that she
took the night ride by automobile to
Americus against her will and said
“she went,’” she supposed, ‘“just to
be going.” She was not cross-exam
ined by defendants’ attorneys.

THE GAMBLING CRAZE
AMONG THE WOMEN
As a result of a quiet inveastiga
tion recentdy conducted in New York
city the most astonishing facts were
brought to light concerning the craze
now raging among women for gamb
ling. It is growing daily, and there
seems to be no check to its disastrous
progress. g
It was disclosed that there are hun
dreds of poker games running day and
night in New York, to the financial
distress of most women indulging. No
count can be taken of the calamity of
domestic life which it attributed to
the disposition of women to gamble
with cards. Poker games and bridge
\v}list parties are formed weeks in ad
vance. In many of the hotels there
are organized each day companies of§
men and women who indulge in draw
poker and bridge, with a view to help-‘
ing out household expenses from a
visitation of dame fortune.
On the other hand, there are scores
of women living off the profits of this
passion in New York today—heads of
cstablishments in apartment houses
or brown stone front houses in quiet
neighborhoods. Their percentage of
the profits of the game enables them
to live luxuriously.
LUXURIES TO BE
STOPPED IN ITALY
Rome, May 18.—The cabinet issued
orders today prohibiting the importa
tion of luxuries and bulky articles
which are not of prime necessity,
such as pianos and furniture. This
step has been taken to remedy the
difficulty of obtaining freightage for
government supplies and such com
mon articles of food as it is necessary
to import. The government is also
considering establishing a maximum
rrice for provisions and making a
more extended use of female labor.
Other measures to improve the eco
nomic and industriar situation arising
from the war are bemg planned.
