Emma McChesney glanced quickly

Emma McChesney brought one little

him. That's how sure / am"

SHELLS FROM The KAERS FORCES ALLIES REP SED SAYS BERLIN
HUGE AEROPLANE
SOLD TO ENGLISH
America, Worlds Most Power
full Air Craft, Secretly Ship
ped From New York.

New York. Oct. 1.-The mammoth
aeroplane America. with which Lieu
tenant John c. Porte. an officer of the
British army. had expected TO fly
across the Atlantic, was shipped TO
England yesterday on the steamer
Mauretania. and. it is said, will be
used by the British government for
war service.
1t IS understood that the huge aero
plane has been purchased by a private
individual and will be turned over to
the British government upon its ar
rival at Liverpool. II is further re-
ported that six other aeroplanes have
been ordered by the Americas pur-
chaser and that these too will be pre-
sented to the British government.
These machines. It is said, are now
being hastily constructed at the fac
tory of an aeroplane concern at Ham
mondspOrt. y. Y, and have been espe-
cially designed for long-distance
flights with a crew of three-two pilots
and an officer-and several hundred
pounds of explosives. They will be
valuable in effecting quick crossings
OF the English channel and as an aid
to the British navy in extending scout
ing trips. II is said by aeronauts who
are familiar with the design of the ma
chine.
A. B. Gaines. an American aeronaut.
offered his services. and those of FIVE
other aviators in the English govern
ment. He was told that 1t was not pos
sibIe for them TO enlist in this country,
but If the aviators would make appli-
cation in Canada or England they
would undoubtedly be welcomed.
The America, said to be the worlds
most powerful aeroplane. originally
was built for Rodman Wanamaker,
who expected to finance the trans
Atlantic fight, but was not accepted
by him after it became necessary TO
postpone the race. Mr.. Wanamaker, his
s~sretzT-rs saids had gi1t.tf~ sortfsrs~-for'
the construction Of a still more power
full machine. which he hopes to send
across the Atlantic next summer.
On one occasion the America flew
with ten men and a quantity of gaso-
line aboard, her lift approximateins
. 900 pounds. she was equipped with
two 100 horse power engines and there
were plans to add a third engine of the
same power.
The America and two other aero
planes manufactured by the Ham
mondsport company were brought 10
this city on a special train "a hours
before the Mauretania sailed. Upon
their arrival here they were loaded on
lighters and taken 10 the Mauretania
under the cover of darkness.

TAX ON AUTO
FAVORED FOR

Washington, Oct. democrats Of
the senate subcommittee on finance
today voted to substitute for tax of
two cents a gallon on gasoline in the
war revenue bill G. tax on owners of
% cents per horse power on automo-
biles and 81 per horse power on auto
mobile sales by manufacturers. 1t is
estimated this would yield annually a
revenue of S16,0OO,0OO.

ed the farm TO table service of the
parcel post to Chicago and IA other
cities in addition to IL to which the
service already applies and had proved
a great success.

REPORT FORMER
CITIZEN KILLED
Man Who Once Conducted Sa-
loon Here Victim of Death
by German Soldiers.

A report current among the Bel
gians of this city and Moline, but
which cannot be verified is that Fred
De Waele, formerly proprietor OF
saloon at the corner of Seventeenth
street and Fourth avenue. this city,
was killed in his home at Aelpre, Bel
gium, three weeks ago in the invasion
OF the German army there.
The story is to the effect that he was
defending his property at the time
and that this was destroyed after he
was killed. He conducted a saloon in
Alpre but was not a soldier. On the
other hand. he was United States
citizen.
Mr.. De Waele and his wife left Rock
Island for his native land last summer.
He lived here for over 20 years pre-
ceding. The story was quite prevalent
but attempts to trace ii down and
verify il failed.
