"BurwelI testified that when in sd st.
on the morning of Rosenthal's death he
heard two shots and saw the man who fired
the shots turn. He said he did not know

testimony rests on his statement that
neither of the four defendants was the
man who fired the shots. Burwcll never
saw either one Of the four defendants,

was derived from his seeing some pictures

Identification from portraits is OF itself
risky and dangerous. and without some
supporting or connecting evidence should
not be given much weight in a court OF
law But identification by newspaper

AIRsHlP AS NEWS GETTER
Hudson Maxim, the Noted Inventor,
Says 1t Is Ally of the War
Correspondent.

Port DaMosit, Md.-The present war
in Europe Sss shown that aviation Is
one of the most important arms of
the military service, declares Hudson
Maxim, the noted inventor, in an ad-
dress to the boys of the Tome school
here. Mr.. Maxim came to lecture for
the school, and took as his topic
aerial warfare, especially the aerial
warfare of the future, built upon les
sons learned from the present war.
Aviation makes it possible to keep
one army informed of the position and
the movements of the other" said Mr..
Maxim, $50 as to render surprise at
tacks in force impossible. The aero
plane is also great news gatherer
and is the strong ally of the newspa-
per correspondent.
81 believe that the aeroplane will be
a more important war engine than
the dirigible balloon. There are
strong indications that aeroplanes
may be made of sufficient size and
power for the transportation Of troops
with arms for very effective fighting.
Had either of the warning nations of
today known before the war what they
have since learned, each side would
be equipped with large fleets of aero
planes.
In future wars it will be the first
aim to clear the skies of flying ma
chimes of an enemy in short, swift
scouting machines, troop carriers for
raiding purposes, and those manned
and equipped as aeroplane destroyers.
just as we have torpedo destroyers
today
THE small damage which has been
done by bombs dropped from aero
planes and balloons has fully demon
strated that little result can be ex-
pected from aerial bombardments.

armored automobile, carrying Max

notable exploit. He says:
ITO the north of Alost the armored
car came suddenly around the cor
ner and ran into party of German
cavalry and cyclists. The cavalrymen
had dismounted and the automobiles

they could remount.
"Then the car started In pursuit OF

bile four others were wounded and
several were captured.

only four men. There are, however,

FRENCH LOSS MOUNTS HIGH
Three Hundred Thousand Slain and
Wounded Up to and Including
Battle Of Marine.

New York.-A letter received by a
New York physician from a reputable
source in France contains the star
Ting information that the French
losses (killed, wounded and prisoners)
for the six weeks fighting up to and
including the battle of the Marne were
slightly over 100000, perhaps 100000.
These losses are exclusive of the
British casualties, which, the writer
SAYS, have been fairly large in COM
parison to the small number Of their
engaged army"
II credence may be placed In the
French statements that in most cases
the German losses were larger than
those sustained by the French, 1t
would seem to be fair estimate of
the German losses, in killed, wounded
and prisoners, for the same six weeks
at close to 500, 900 men in the westeIn
theater of war alone, not taking into
account their losses in the fighting
against the Russians.

Buzzard Carries of Dog.

Eagles are said to be game enough
and strong enough to carry off almost
anything from man to cat, but
the first instance known when a buzz
card carried off dog was witnessed
on recent afternoon. The incident
happened few miles from Bessemer.
A very brave little fox terrier was
endeavoring to chase off large buzz
zard that had alghted on the ground.
He only succeeded in making tho
buzzard fly close to the ground for a
short distance The buzzard stopped
on a short stump and waited for the
dog, which came barking around the
root of the stump.
The buzzard, seeing his chance,
jumped from the stump, seized the
dog in its mouth and claws, and flew
