Barbecue, France, Dec. 9.-(Cor-
respondsnce of The Associated Press)
The Petit Parisien gives the follow
ing account of the capture of a Taube
aeroplane and the trenches command
ing the valley of Suippe:
The French batteries had played
on the German positions all day and
the observers reported that the fire
of the 3-inchers was precise and dead
ly, consequently the appearance of
Taube flying machine over the bat
terry position was no surprise. The
French gunners were commanded 10
cease firing, in order not to give q
clue to their whereabouts and the
Taube sailed away seemingly having
failed in it's mission.
1T came back, however, and after
dropping four bombs harmlessly on
Sempigneul it let fall few danger
ously close to the French batteries
The position had been discovered AMI
the necessity of bringing the machine
down before it could get back to the
German lines was vital.
"Muskets were aimed from every di-
rection. machine guns were turned to-
ward it and even the 3.inchers came
into action. In a perfect storm of shell
and bullets the Taube was soon in Il
bad way; it made an effort to turn
and fly but 1t was seen that it had

SEC. BRYAN IS
-ATTEMP TING TO
FIND COMTESSE

Washington, Dec. 27.-Secretary Bry-
an is endeavoring through the Ger
man government to locate Comtesse de
Buisserat. formerly Mrs. Caroline
Storey of this city. When last heard
from she was in Brussels. The Ger
mans in control of that city would
not permit her. it is said, either to join
her husband, who is Belgian minister
at Petrograd, or to communicate with
her mother in this city.
Mrs. Storey recently received
through friends information that her
daughter was dangerously i'll in Brus-
sells, as the result of an operation.
Since that time nothing has been
heard from her Tuesday Secretary
Bryan forwarded cablegram of in
quiry through diplomatic channels, but
thus far has received no response.
The Count de Buisserate was at one
time Belgian minister to this country
and at the time of his marriage was
an attache here of the Belgian lega-
tion.

always very considerable. Never since
it's organization has there been the
money in the treasury necessary to do
the work which ought to be done to-
ward stamping out the Great White
Plague. This year in particular, when
the drain On the charitable to feed the
starving in Belgium and to relieve
suffering at home has been SO great,
it is especially necessary that those
interested in this great work redoubie
their vigor in order to get the FUNDS
necessary to carry on efficiently the
work of relieving the tuberculosis SUI
ferers and the even more important
work OF preventing the spread OF the
disease.
Last season $500 was raised and most
carefully and economically expended by
the local league. A free dispensary was
maintained A medical director and a.
visiting nurse were under salary by the
league ana did notable work. Through
last season IS patients we're treated, 2So
visits made by the patients to the dis
pensary Four patients were sent to the
Fairfield sanatorium. Perhaps moro
valuable work was the visiting. In all
672 visits were made. These were of ser
vice not only to relieve suffering but in
giving instruction and in suggesting pre-
cautions to prevent the spread of the
disease. And surely no phase of the
work is more important and none tusti-
fies the existence and the expense Of the
league more than this. If during any
one year the leagues physician and
nurse prevent the spread of the disease
and save even one single person OF nor
NAL age and usefulness from death they
have effected an economic saving
amounting TO many times the cost OF
conducting the league for a year II is
safe to assume however. that the league
each year saves very considerable num-
Der from infection and that its work in
keeping down the spread of the disease
is worth many thousands of dollars
i Looked at in the cold blooded light of the
worth of an individual to the community

NEWFOUNDLAND
SENDS TROOPS

st. Johns, n. F., Dec. 27.-The fifth
draft OF Newfoundland naval reservists,
which sailed from here Dec. II, reached
England in time to eat Christmas dinner
In the old country. according to cable
gram received Saturday. This draft, con-
sisting OF 100 men, brings the quota of
naval reservists from this colony up to
1000. The original maximum fixed by the
admiralty was only 600. but the activity
of the German feet in the North sea re-
suited In a call for more men.
Another lot of $50 men is now await
ing transport. The recruits at present
are on the drill ship Calypso. No regu-
lar transports are available for them
and it is thought likely that one of the
regular liners between Halifax and Eng
land will call in here for them early in
the new year.
The recently organized First New
feundland Regiment is also expected to
sail for England some time in January.
This regiment now consists of 1000 men,
instead of the 500 which at first had been
decided upon.

the mountains in the direction of Thanh.
Their losses have been severe The
battalion camping here in the clearing
has left 300 dead, including 100 officers,
and 700 wounded, including IA officers, on
the field of battle. The voids have been
filed with new recruits taken from the
bases, young men only and some of them
of the class of 1914, but all of them made
of the same hardy, wiry stuff that is
required for an Alpine chasseur.
In the retreat OF the French army from
upper Alsace, these troops covered them
selves with glory especially the 18th and
the I'D regiments, supported by two reg
iments of cavalry fighting on foot. These
four regiments protected the relief of
the entire Attn Army Corps.
They had pushed over the crest of the
Vosges at Bonhomme and at a critical
stage of the operations received the or

Nancy, France, Dec. 9.-tCorrespond-
ence of the Associated Press)-Civ1l-
ians who seek striking evidences OF
war must go several miles out of
Nancy toward the Lorraine frontier.
The village of B is the center OF
division OF cavalry which participated
in the first marches of Sarreburg at

treat which followed. in the operations
in the region of Luneville, then in the
Woevre, to come back finally to the
first theatre of its exploits. At pres
indefatigable division is al rest. though
sends patrol parties every day in all
directions and makes raids upon the
German lines of communication.
1t is curious exeInplifcation of the
characteristics of modern warfare that
this division, though constantly fight
ing for four months, never has had
occasion to charge the German cav
airy. The chief object of the mounted
troops in this region has been to pre-
vent troops of the opposing force being
detached for use elsewhere.
1t is here also that the sight of the
deep blue uniform of the Alpine Chas-
seur is most familiar. These wiry,
agile and enduring troops have rem
dered valuable service in the war.
1t is a battalion of the Alpine Chas-
seurs camping in the region reposing

out of training. The officers of these
troops are very young. but well select

guard and, more often than the troops
coming behind, are obliged to resort
to an intelligent initiative.

then obliqued toward the earth and
landed with heavy shock in the
plain of Aghilcourt.
THE French infantry had watched
the action from the trenches and the
machine had no sooner touched the
ground than the entire line dashed
forward to capture 1t. The Germans
had also been alert and they came
double quick to defend the machine,
around which the two detachments
clashed. There was an indescribable
melee for a few minutes In which 1t
was impossible to separate the French
and Germans.
THE aviator had been killed by a
bullet in the forehead when he was
about to dfsengage his machine. but
the Saxons put up so strong fight
that the issue had become doubtful
when a joyful cry went up from the
French infantry: The dragons! the
dragoons!'
AT full gallop squadron OF
French dragons came into sight from
Gonda: with lances ready they pre-
cipitated themselves into the fight and
put the Saxons to rout. The machine
was captured. but that was not enough
for the infantry, who charged with
the bayonet and took the trenches
that commanded the valley of the
