They could not understand how e German could handle the French In vention more skillfully and advanta geously than the French themeolves. They began to shoot at us. It was tine. They were very had shots. I felt like dropping a bomb—not to kill them, but simply to see something blown up. Then from the direction of Juvlsy came a French monoplane As it. was more swift than my biplane, I bed to turn and try to escape. My Ba varian comrade prepared my rifle and •sized his pistol. The Frenchman ap proached closer and closer. I attempt ed to reach the protecting clouds at 6.000 feet, but my pursuer (lew swifter than we, ever nearer and nearer. Sud denly I became aware of a second monoplane only 500 yards away It attempted to block my path We had to act I shot at the airman ahead of us. Then a turn and the major took aim. He shot once, twice, three times. The enemy's machine, which was now next to us only 100 yards away, top pled, tilted upward, and then fell to the ground like a stone. But our other pursuer was almost on too of us, and shot at u« with pistols. Close to the gas lever a bullet hit the fuse lage Then impenetrable fog eonc«*al- «d us from the enemy. I could hoar the buz* of his motor grow fainter and fainier. Ran Into Shrapnel.

Your affectionate son. Started With 1,500 Aeroplane*. Before this war began those who took an interest In military affairs thought of Germany's aerial forces In terms of Zeppelins. Jt was acknowl edged that Germany had some aero planes, but publicly she had not don© very much with them. On December 1 last year Count von Arnim, of the flying corps, told me that Germany bad 1,600 aeroplanes, and that more were being turned out every day. When 1 remarked rnv amazement, he smiled and suld, "We did not build them all since the war began." Ger many knows how to guard her mili tary eecrets well. Just as the 42 centimeter guns were guarded, so was her strength in aeroplanes.” Taube means dove, the symbol of peace. The Taube, an aeroplane of the monoplane type, made its appear ance over France, Belgium and Rus sia at the outbreak of the war So that the German soldiers would not Are upon it, there were painted under Its wings two Iron crosses In black. In Berlin they begnn to sing a song, “Ich glaube das uber fligt ein Taube.” The Taube Abandoned. A few weeks of the war and the Taube was a sensation. Then some of the high-powered French mono planes got after It and the Germans forsook the Taube. But every news paper still reports any German aero plane as a Taube. As a matter of fact. Germany has practically given up the Taube. The machines that are now Hie the Albatross being used ;i nd VO) I Of It was in one of thew Albatross machines that 1 Hew over the French lines.

At Lodz he did more than all the trPrman artil lery had been able to do. He threw the city Into darkness. But his story begins In Bt. Louis. Born In Ger many, Phil Wurst had become a citi zen of the United States—and an aviator. I^ast spring he went to Ber lin to so© his mother. With a laugh he told her how In the American aviation camps they called him the “Crazy Dutchman.” Phil Wurst had his own ideas about how flying ma chines should no made and loudly he announced them, particularly in Bt. Louts, where he had a school. War came. In Berlin. Phil Wurst volun teered. As he said to me, “It was a* ■ fine chance to learn all about war planes. And It would be fun." Now every German aviator has to earn a little yellow and black badge, the emblem of the Flying Corps; it Is harder to win than a second-class Iron Gross. He has to prove his fit ness, his ability and his bravery. He, has to accomplish severe observation tests and bomb dropping. Phil Wurst was awarded tho badge. He was sent to the front. He flow over Rhelms, dropping '‘bonbons,” as he calls them. He made many valuable reports to General Herrlngen. He was transferred to the east. One day when Hlndenburg*» army was advancing on Lodz, the Polish manufacturing city, the staff decided that to plunge the city in darkness would be to create panic among the Russian soldiers and Inhabitants. They sent for the crazy Dutchman. Destroys Light Plant- “Destroy tho electric light plant at Lodz” were Wurst’s orders. Jawohl! Princess Mary gj|[||f||| ^[[g ||)[ |||||||] Resents a Mur At U. S.

By ORTON TEWSON. (Special Cable to Tho Sunday Ameri can.) LONDON. June 27.—Sir Oliver Lodge, perhaps the greatest living scientist, welcomed the opportunity which I gave him to speak to the great circle of American people reached by the Hearst newspapers. As I was being ushered Into his room specially set aside for his re searches In Birmingham University, in the heart of England, I caught a glimpse of several of his laboratories. Here were delicate Instrument* of strange shape, at the purpose of which the layman could only guess and wonder—weirdly shaped retorts, endless row r s of boftles, books of ref she keeping pooe with the many in ventions in the field of warfare. “Means are being found, some in deed are in use,” he said; “means coiv- cernlng which, for obvious reasons, I can not give details, but which will counter aLl these. Take, for instance, submarines. We are ” I leaned forward eagerly, but the spirit of caution nudged Sir Oliver at that moment, for he closed up as tight as an oyster and no persuasion could get him to hint at the secrets he guaras, so I changed the subject. The Students’ Part. “As the principal university, what part do you think your students and the institution generally should play In war?” LONDON, JVly 3.—At the first meeting of a new league, entitled “Lady Volunteer Workers,” held at the London residence of I^ady Wan tage, an old friend of the royal fam ily, and attended by the Princess Mary, a remarkable scene occurred, which ended In the Princess and her governess, Mile. Duasau, by whom she was attended, leaving the meteing abruptly. A discussion arose as to the position of America in the war, and the atti tude of the United States Adminis tration since the sinking of the Lusi tania. was severely commented on by several of the ladies present, notably by a Miss Davidson, a cousin of the Archbishop of Canterbury. The Prin cess Mary did not join in the discus sion at all until Miss Davidson re- Editor of Pall Mall Gazette Declares Allies Have Postponed Their Hopes for Months to Deliberately Prepare for Thorough Victory. (By International News Service.) LONDON, July 3.—The British Steamer Craigard, from Newport News for Havre, with a cargo of cotton, was torpedoed and sunk by a German submarine off the Sicitly islands Thursday. The cr*w landed here to-day. A German submarine, believed to be the U-30 is reported sunk off the mouth of the R»ver Ems. The River Ems flows into the North Sea from Germany.

But Wurst cared more for the Iron Gross; so he kept on. Above Lodi be made some observations. He flew one way and then made a turn to get the velocity of the wind. He took his altitude and then made a cal culation In which figured the velocity of the wind and the speed of his bomb to the ground. It told him exactly how much allowance he had to make for the wind. Then he circled over the^ electric plant of Lodz. “My first boihb,” he told, me, “missed. It only hit he workshop The second bomb hit the dynamos. Oh, It was fine!” And his eyes sparkled- Lodz was 1n dnrkness for nine days, and after the Germans captured it it took them a week to repair the electric light plant. Twenty times up to March 6 had Wurst flown over Warsaw and each time he dropped twenty bombs! Three Types of German Bombs. This bomb dropping is interesting. The German bombs are of three dis tinct types. There Is a small bomb about the size of a baseball that Is thrown overboard by hand. The other two bombs are mechanically dropped. One is for purposes of killing and destruction by explosion, the other is to create fire. The explosive bombs are shaped much like pears Over all they are about ten Inches, and five inches is their greatest diameter. An aviator never carries more than four. They hang from the floor of the ob server’s car. In order to prevent their jostling against each other and burst- | lng under the aeroplane, each bomb ! Is hold in a peculiar basketlike Con- i trivance. Suspended from the aero- j plane are four such baskets. When | they are empty thev look like dan gling slats two feet long. When they i are filled with bombs the end of these : tenuous slats of thin steel are caught together by a wire hook and noose. I This is connected by n simple lever system up through the floor of the observer's car to a tiny lever at his elbow. Each bomb is thus held In a ' wire basket. When the observer Is 1 ready to fire, he presses a brass lever I —of which there are four—the basket is opened, the bomb released and goes ! bolting down. As it rushes through ' the air a little propellerlike fan slow- I lv unspins, releasing a safety catch so that upon contact the bomb explodes. Observation Main Thing. The inflammable bombs, of which only, two are carried in each ma chine, are much larger. I saw one that was fully a foot In diameter. It was a perfect sphere and was painted the gray-green of the army cloth. Like the explosives, these bombs are dropped from the floor of the ob servers compartment. But the bas kets are not closed upon them, only the releasing hook being used. Of the hand bombs, as many as twenty are often taken aboard. Near Su- walkl 1 saw an aviator load 22 of them into the observer’s compart ment. They were deposited into portable sinking, the official statement says. The battered warship lowered its flag oerore it was beached. The battle took place off the Island ot Gothland. j\ itussiun submarine has sunk three Turkish vessels In the Black Sea, the Admiralty also an nounced to-day. The destroyed ves sels were a steamer of 2,500 tons, a sailing ship of 1,500 tons and a steam er of 400 tons. All were sunk near Kesken. The Turkish vessels were laden with coal and provisions which they were transporting to Constanti nople. Italians Shatter Austrian Attack By BRIXTON D. ALLAIRE. (Special Correspondent International News Service.) ROME. July 3—While the official reports from Italian general head quarters were confined to details of local successes of the troops of King Victor Emmanuel, Italian correspond ents at the front to-day send dis patches in which they declare that the Austrian offensive on the Plava-Gra- dlsca line has been completely bro ken. “For tho first time since the Ital ians began their campaign of inva sion.” says one, “large forces have been engaged. The Austrian forces have been driven back everywhere with severe casualties, losing strong positions at Plava and east of Sugra- do.” The statement further reports the capture of Austrian positions and nu merous prisoners on the Gorizia-Plava road, the Austrians desperately resist ing, but failing to stem the Italian advance. A dispatch from Udine states that Italian aviators blew up several am munition convoys wltti bombs drop ped from a height of 2,000 feet, thus cutting tho enemy off from much- needed supplies. Teutons 33 Miles From Ivangorod AUSTRIAN HEADQUARTERS IN GALICIA (via Vienna. Berlin and Amsterdam), July 3.—Rapid strides by the Ausfro-German forces along the Vistula River have brought them to a point only 33 miles from Ivaa- gorod. The Russian defense appears to be growing steadily weaker, and the indications now are that tho great Russian fortress on the Vistula will be besieged within a short time. Having captured Josefow, the Teu tonic troops are pressing forward to ward Kamien, on the east bank of the .Vistula, while other forces are moving northward on the west bank. Josefow was taken in a night at tack after the Austro-German troops had crossed the Wysnica, five miles from Its junction with the Vistula. The crossing was effected under , ompartment that reminded ! heavy fire from Russian machine me of a huge box of eggs.

One would think that a w'orld catastrophe such as the present , would have been foretold by a me- # dium at some seance. Has such a* message been given?” “I know of no definite message,” re plied Sir Oliver, “no authentic proph ecy. There have been allusions through media and many of us felt something terrible was pending, but there has been nothing definite.” “What do you think of messages in the past that are said to have fore told this war? There was one of a FTench monk which purported to foretell th© beginning and the end of the war, a« well as the result; there was one which prophesied the down fall, of the house of Hohenzollern when erence, notebooks of research, and fluting and those dead on the field beyond were the humming wheels and restless tracery of driving belts appertaining to the engineers' work shop. The principal of the great British Industrial university is no mere book ish theorist, but an energetic investi gator of many branches of science. Although his device for dissipating fogs still is a thing of wonder, his in ventions by no means are all in the air, as the universal use of the Lodge sparking plug readily proves. Greeting Cordial. Waving me a cordial gretting, Sir Oliver settled down to his cross-ex amination with a zest which gave no indication he was giving up a portion of a particularly busy morning for the benefit of the readers of the Hearst newspapers. While he sat there, a smile on hls face, his great frame overflowing the boundaries of his chair, hls head bent a little forward by seeming weight of his huge polished dome, with hls beard as a support, hls face was ir radiated with a. boyish gleam which smoothed out the lines of care on the rueged features. “I would like to know, Sir Oliver,” I raid, “your views on some of the sci entific aspects of the war. For in stance, the leading papers contained In the last few weeks a wide corre spondence deploring the lack of or ganization In the field of chemistry, physics, mechanics and general In vention. Do you think British leaders in science are alive to these matters, and is the organization with them adequate for the need or equal to that of Austria or Germany?” “Many of the people busy writing papers on these matters,” broke In Sir Oliver, “are uninformed or mis informed. There Is far more organ! zation and science in England than the public Is aware of. Laboratories Are Busy. “It is not known, os many recent letters prove, and I am perhaps giv ing away secrets by saying so now, that practically since the beginning of the war there has been in exist- enoe a special war committee of the Royal Society, of which I am a mem ber. It includes representatives of every branch of science, who meet and discuss various suggestions for research Into matters of martial im portance. “The laboratories of its members are busy with investigations, and the outcome of this work eventually will be felt at the front. “I have been In favor of more pub licity In our work, but it might pos sibly lead to the inundation of the committee by a flood of useless pro posals. As It is, the members receive numbers of suggestions from outside sources. Some contain germs of real worth, but the majority are useless. Still, I think we may be missing something of excellence.” “Are you connected in any way with the fighting departments?” “Yes. From time to time we re ceive requests from the War and Ad miralty offices. These requests are passed on to members of the com mittee best able to deal with them. Investigations are made at our labo ratories. maybe In some university, maybe in some private laboratory or large manufacturing works, and the results are communicated to official departments and orders then are given. Nothing New, He Says. “Yes. there is nothing much the matter with our organization.” said Sir Oliver, as he smiled the smile of one who knows. “ JVlth regard to the scientific in terests which the war has brought into prominence, do you think any striking development has taken place?” “There is nothing new,” said Sir Oliver. “There have been develop ments, of course, and strange rever sions also to the old-fashioned meth ods and engines of warfare hut when our enemies use poison gas they only are emplovlna means of destruction which were known before the war and forbidden “Their Zeppelins and submarines certainly have been improved so as to become a real menace, and the range of the'r big guns has been increased: but these are only developments of the already existing engines of de struction nnd can not be called inven tions in the strict sense.

Etiquette gives the members of the reigning house the advantage of hav ing the last word at such discussions, for no one is supposed to differ with the plainly expressed opinion of any member of the royal family. Miss Davidson, however, apparently thought that the considerable dispar ity between her own age and that of the PTlncess relieved her of the neces sity of observing this rule, and she re peated the expression of her opinion, adding: “Your royal highness must pardon an old person like me for not agreeing with the opinions of a young person like you.” “They are not my opinions* only,” replied the Princess. “I know' that; they are your parents’ opinions,” said Miss Davidson, “but I still claim the liberty of having my own opinions, which are those of great many of your father’s friends.” The Princess then at once rose, and, with her governess, left the room, and the party immediately afterward broke up. As a result of the incident, all royal support has been withdrawn from the league, which will, of course, die a sudden death. New Zeppelin Goes Out Every 20 Days GENEVA (via Paris), July 3.—News dispatches reaching Geneva from Fried- richshaven set forth that double shifts of men are now working in the Zeppelin factories, w'hich are turning out a com pleted Zeppelin every twenty day's. One of the two Zeppelins destined for operations against Italy was sent from Friedrichshafen yesterday to replace the dirigible destroyed over Belgium recent ly by the Canadian aviator Warneford. It is reported in Geneva that the Ger man authorities are preparing for an important combined raid of Zeppelins and aeroplanes on Paris and London in , retaliation for the recent attack on the head of the house mounted his j German tow r ns by aviators of the Allies, horse from the wrong side, as does the J present Kaiser. There was a horo scope of the Kaiser cast by an Amer- | lean astrologer, which foretold the downfall of the German Emperor for last December. Are not these false prophecies sufficient to shake your be lief In the existence of communion with the spirit world?” Speaks of Research. “These were probably misinterpre tations.” Here he spoke of the man of science who requires that all phenomena of his Investigation shall be fully known before Judgment Is passed. He con tinued : “I myself haye Investigated none of these prophecies, but they probably are misinterpretations. Because some people got hold of a cryptic Latin screed, Which is supposed to have been written many, many years ago by a French monk, and twist the transla tion to make the resulting version into a prophecy of a war already be gun—such a fact neither affirms nor denies the possibility of prophecy. It does nothing. The other* may be like them.” Pressed on this point. Sir Oliver ad mitted, somewhat sorrowfully, I thought, h© has not come across any cose of authentic prophecy concerning the war. When I reverted to the ques tion Sir Oliver shook me off with a laugh, and I am not going to make any prophecies. They, too, might not come true. By JOHN L. GARVIN. (Editor of The Pall Mall Gazette. Spe cial Cable to The Sunday American.) LONDON, July 3—Last week marked an epoch in national organi zation, as well as a pinch In the Euro pean struggle. The Allies have post poned their hopes for months and de liberately reorganized their methods to assure thoroughness of a deferred victory. Russia’s emergency has been met by our allies with indomitable for titude and resolution. It means that France plays for the present the main part of holding an impregnable barrier in the west. It depends on the supreme exertions of Great Britain during the next few months to provide men and munitions with an effect which will turn the course of the war and vibrate from one end of Europe to the other. The situation, but on a larger scale, is not unlike the sterner years of the Napo leonic wars. After more than a century, this is again the situation that suits the British temper. We shall bear it well. The signs of the last few days have satisfied us of the British temper. With man-power, machine-power and money-power we will rise to the need with a vigor that will discomfit our enemies, assert the supremacy of the Quadruple Entente and astonish'the world. We have vast reserves, bait we have to mobilize them now fully without delay. We can do it and shall. Grave Voices Heard. While in Germany and Austria many enthusiasts and some experts declare that the Russian colossus Is or soon will be overthrown and finished for the remainder of the war, other grave voices in the centraj empires warn all concerned against thinking it is all over but the shouting. The Russians are described as moving back with incredible obstinacy and immovable courage, lacking nothing but munitions. The Bear is always ready to maul its pursuers. Nevertheless, serious and perilous as Potsdam knows the event to be, H is practically certain Germany means to make th© crowning effort one wav or another to seize Warsaw and the whole line of the Vistula, and. If pos sible, throw Russia back beyond the more interior line of the Bug and key to the fortress and Brest-Lltovsk railway junction into the marshes of the Pripet. Since the fall of Lemberg our oltles in the south of Poland have retreated very slowly to a point somewhat near er the Vistula. It Is well-nigh as greet a crisis m that of 1812, and may quite possib f prove the greatest in Russia’s aaiuaJ- Under direction of his sovereign and with the whole Russian nation behind him, the Grand Duke is preparing for all emergencies. Factor* of Timo and Space. We repeat that we have afbsohit© confidence that the Grand Ehike will be the eventual victor, upon the con dition that he be fully supported by the colossal energy of this country in piling up munitions. Against Germany are the factors of space and time. She must succeed before November or she can never succeed. The time is too short for her purpose. Even for a partial and tem porary success he will have to pay a tremendous price. The deeper she advances into Rtur- sia the graver becomes the danger of a total reverse. It must be months before the Grand Duke’s armies are so fully reorganized and refitted as to be able to resume the final offensive with huger forces than ever. But even in the meantime the Czar’s troops will be better and better equipped with every month that passes. We do not say too much when we suggest that this is one of the great est dramas in human history. DEVICE FINDS BURIED SHELLS. NANCY, FRANCE, July 3.—A curi ous invention designed to disclose by magnetism unexploded shells burled in the earth not more than eighteen inches was tested to-day. The object of the device is to protect farmers from strik ing live shells with their plows. Illinois Student, 23, Is Canadian Captain CHICAGO. July 3.—Less than a year ago Dougal Kittermaster was a freshman at Jhe University of Illinois. Soo nhe will sail as the youngest cap tain in the third Canadian contingent to fight the Germans “somewhere in France.” He is 23. Captain Kittermaster is a son of W. A. Kittermaster. of Glencoe, who has lived there for fifteen years, but never given up hls Canadian citizenship. The elder Kittermaster sent hls son to Ca nadian military training schools, and soon after the war started the boy was ordered to Canada. He was a lieuten ant then. In drilling recruits he showed such ability that he was soon promoted to a captaincy. When he sails for France he will b« in command of 1,600 men. England Preparing For Prolonged War LONDON, July 3.—The Earl of Sel- borne, president of the Board of Agri culture. has appointed a cortimittee, of which Lord Milner is chairman, to in vestigate the report as to “what steps should be taken by legislation or other wise for the sole purpose of maintain ing and, if possible, increasing the present production of food in England and Wales on the assumption that the war may be prolonged beyond the har vest of 1916.” The committee is Instructed, if it finds additional powers are necessary, to re port in time for legislative action dur ing the'present session of Parliament. —LOOK!- BIGGEST REDUCTION EVER MADE IN DENTAL WORK FOR TEN DAYS ONLY S 3 ALL WORK GUARANTEED.
