people will be with US as soon as they
see this
Must Get Police Station.
The next thing TO co is 10 get hold Of
the police station, and when the police
see that they are not strong enough the
chief Of police will ask for soldiers. Even
at that the dynamite is easy for US 10
get Twenty-Five cents worth viii blow

forget that the dynamite will help US to
win.
Two OF three of US can defy a regi-
ment Of soldiers without fear We will
start when no one is thinking anything
about 1t. Then We can beat them man for
man. At that time show no sympathy
for any soldier. even If they be the sons
of people AS soon as we get hold OF the
police station IT is our victory. The thing
is TO kill the entire force. II not they will
kill US.
Then Look Out for Friends.
After we have done this. the first
thing TO do Is to look out for ourselves.
and then for the people who helped US
I'VE must get into the armory. and in
case we cannot. then we will blow It down
with dynamite. Then, when we are ready.
we must set FIRE to three or four houses

THRILLING AIR TRIP
Gas Goes from Bag at Height OF 5000
Feet--Miraculous Escape OF Men.

Dusseldorf. Rheinish Prussia, Sept.
2s.-Captain Won Abercron and Lieu
tenant Won Goltheim, two we'll known
aeronauts, had miraculous escape
from death this afternoon during the
course of an ascent In a spherical
balloon. Thousands OF spectators had
gathered to witness the ascent and
they we're horror stricken at the acct
dent which occurred high in the air.
On being released from its fasten-
ings the balloon scared almost direct
ly upwards to an attitude OF 5000 feet
when the envelope suddenly ripped
open The gas escaped In streams
and the balloon shot downward. The
aeronauts swiftly clambered into the
ne work In the desperate hope Of
avoiding the shock Of contact with the
ground. After fall Of 1000 feet
however, the envelope spread out
seemingly in a purely accidental man
ner forming a sort Of parachute which
checked the descent. The balloon
then gradually came down. taking an
hour and half to reach the earth,
the two men clinging to the ropes and
the basket. They suffered no injury
except few scratches
The cause of the accident was the
sudden expansion Of the gas.
