III OI the CeH- D tenary of the raid and burn - ing of Washington Aug. "A 1914, planned an outline of maneuvers
 It was sort of bloodless battle. AS
 may be imagined, it is far more diff1- cult now to reach the city than then
 The British had little trouble in 1874 in sending its raiding party to loot
 plunder and burn. This incident of our second war with England was one of the most picturesque events in Ameri- can history.
 A stirring dramatic episode 1t was. and it's heroine was none other than the famous Dorothy Madison. Vivid even at this day is the picture of the scene as she herself described 1t in letters written actually while her ears were being assailed by the booming of the British cannon at Bladensburg, for fighting was already in progress just outside Washington and utmost haste was being made to pack up and remove from the presidents palace as it was then called, everything of value that could be taken away.
 While streams of dismayed fugitives passed over the Potomac by way of the Long bridge. leaving Washington almost depopulated, Mistress Dolly. in the absence of her husband coolly di- rected the activities of force of clerks detailed for the business of salvage. At her order linen sacks. roughly sewed together for the purpose, were hung around the walls to receive portable stuff All of the silver and the costly velvet draperies were duly bagged. and special care was taken to insure the preservation of the constitution of the United States, Washingtons commits sion as commander in chief of the American armies, and, most precious of all. the Declaration of Independence. which last. by the way. afterward hung for many years in the dining room at Montpelier the Madison home in Vir- ginia. A much prized bit of loot it would have been for the British if they could have got hold of it. In the midst of hurry and confusion when the army was laundering at the gates of the city Mistress Dolly found time to sit down and write letter to her sister as follows:
 Will you believe it, my dear sister. we have had battle near Bladens- burg? And l am still here within

creature. moving on serenely uncon' scious of her peril.
 Five minutes pass. six. and still she holds on her way. Seven-see. she suddenly turns, her bow shoots up. . stream of ballast falls from her. She has seen her danger and is trying to escape by rising and by flight Can she do it?
 Every Moment Precious.
 Every moment is precious. IL is certain that she was well below us when her lookout first saw us. prob ably not more than 5000 feet Had we only escaped notice one minute longer and were her captain and crew novices at their trade her destruction had been assured.
 But her crew are perfectly disci- plined and trained. They have not lost a moment Still, the turn has taken her nearly a minute, and we are but three miles away. She has risen 200 feet during the turn and can now rise at 600 feet a minute, while our ut- most power Is 300 feet a minute. Our speed is twice hers so long as we do not rise, but only equal to hers when we are rising fast
 We keep straight on. still at 6.boo feet. Two minutes pass. Only two miles are now between us. but she is now on our level
 Tt must be a chase to the highest attitudes. The sky is cold and clear; without one grateful cloud in which she can wrap herself impenetrable and hide from her mosquito torment. Minute after minute passes. We rise, pursuing her. Each minute she gains 300 feet of altitude on us, and we gain no single inch ip distance. but no matter Stream after stream of ballast falls from her side. and see how they are throwing their petrol tins. garments, anything to enable her to rise still higher.
 Their only hope is to keep up al up, trusting our fuel may give out '': the engine cease to take us upwarp. Vain hope. Our engine is working ! we'll as ever, and We have fuel for sey eral hours yet.
 "It is only a question of enduranc, now. At such a level no airship vel built can have any reserve of fuel left Ultimately her engine must stop, ane she will drift helpless mass before the wind. She may begin to fall"
 The British expert then concludes:
 Tn a fight between flying machinet victory will go to that which can fly and rise fastest, maneuver easiest and shoot the straightest. Numbers and tactics will have their effects. just as in fight on sea or on land"
