sors Of the club feel they will be in a
better position. to make manifest their
friendship 10 the governor, and their
appreciation of the splendid course he
pursued during the copper country
strike last year. Notwithstanding the
fact Governor Ferris comes TO this Re

members are hopeful that the mining
companies will grant their request, if
for no other reason than the fact that
more than 5000 Of their employees are
enrolled as Partisan Ferris club

Among the plans being considered
for this occasion is a monster parade,

+ Between English and Ger

LONDON, Sept. 4 (by mai! 10 N"w forkl.
Calling at the London GUspita. 10 visit
the wounded soldiers brought from the
front. Queen Alexandra listened with the
closest attention TO the story OF a thrill
ing battle in the air, told 10 her by
wounded private ot the Roya! Engineers,
The fight was between a German aero
plane and French and English air craft
which sailed away 10 give battle TO the
invader, and ended their pursuit only
when the German machine huttered down
10 earth
The wounded private said he vas rest
ing on the ground after a hard fight when
a German aeroplaue suddenly appeared
directly over the British troops Imme-
diately frcm the rear French and British
aviators took to the air. The troops
lay still, watching silently the death
struggle above them. First the British
and French airmen endeavored TO out
maneuver the German and cut of hts
retreat: But the German began to climb
higher in the air and the British aero
plane was seen to be mounting steadily
trying 10 get above the foe and in a
better position to shoot.
The whir OF the motors could be heard
by the troops below as the machines rose
higher and higher, each striving to get
above the other. Then It could be seen
that the Englishman was above his foe.
The aeroplanes appeared as mere specks
In the sky. From far above came the
sound of a shot and Immediately the Ger
man machine began 70 descend. Grace

perfect control. 1t landed safely within
the British lines. ran a short distance
along the ground and stopped.
Fhe British soldiers rushed forward. In
tending 10 make the aviator a prisoner,
but stopped as they drew nearer The
aviator was dead. He had been shot
through the head But before death he
had set his planes for a descent and, with
his dead hands gripping the controls, the
craft had sailed TO earth.

Wounded German officers who were
brought here today accuse the Algerian
troops fighting with the allies in France
with terrible atrocities
They charge that the French officers
are unable to tame the wild natures of
these African lighters, who delight in
torturing the wounded and mutilating the
dead upon the battlefield.
One of the wounded German officers,
Lieutenant Won Lenz declares that Ger
many should make formal protest against
the use of these savage Africans.
They have been guilty Of the most
aggravated crualties, some of which l
witnessed" declared the German officer
in other instances l have learned from
the lips of witnesses how barbarously
those Algerlans act. One wounded Ger
man soldier had his eyes souged out by
a Turco, who used his spurs for the
cruel operation.
after one fight in which they had
participated the Turcos went around
with their sabres cutting ana slashing
the dead and wounded
There have been numerous instances
where headless German soldiers have
been found. The Turcos had decapitated
them, carrying of the heads as trophies
of battle.
Credit must be given to these Africans
as fighters. though. They nave no regard
for human life and have not the slightest
conception Of fear. But their traits are
the traits of savages and their chief de-
light is to inhict cruelty. God pity the
countryside upon which these wild
creatures are turned loose without re-
straint."

WAR MAY RECONCILE
CHURCH AND THE STATE
Heroic Work of French Nuns and
Monks Recognized.

PARIS. Sept. H.-war may reunite
church and state In France.
Hundreds Of nuns have been recalled
from Belgium, to which country they
were expelled when the religious orders
were dissolved, and are working as hos
rital nurses.
Moreover there are $4,000 monks on the
battlehelds. It is thought impossible that
the heroic work Of both nuns and monks
should be lost on a public which Is ever
quick to recognize devotion TO duty.
Probably the Concordat in France will
never be seen again, but under new
Pope It is believed that the war will in
duce a better understanding between
church and Government. Churches still
will remain the property Of the state.
There will at least be an era in which
not only national monuments. like Notre
Dame, but all churches will be main
tained and repaired at public expense.
