Shooting Down an Aviator

"A German artillerist, writing from
bapaume,. France, tells Of the death of
a French aviator who was brought
down by German gunners.
To-day 1 saw a French aviator
brought down by our guns" he said.
1.-The French flyers had been growing
bolder and bolder, especially in recoin-
noitering behind our front, and SO we
concealed half battery of howitzers In
a village about four miles to the rear
in order to teach them lesson. Things
happened as we expected. By clock
in the morning there came an aero.
plane, sailing along with the greatest
assurance in the world. The guns at
the front were not permitted to fire.
and after passing them the aviator.
thinking all danger past, kept coming
lower and lower, reaching finally lev
ell of about 1000 feet. Not suspectine
that he would encounter German artil-
lery so far to the rear, he came within
easy shooting distance for our gunners
in the village.

PANGGANGS OF MALAY
Ruled by an Old Witch, They Are the
Queerest People Known

Ruled by a great enchantress and
having no form of money, the Pang-
gangs, a tribe in mountainous Jungle
in the northern part Of the Malay pen
insula, is one of the queerest known to
negroid type, whose social organization
is that of a simple form of common
wealth and who are nomadic, wander
ing about from place to place in their
dense jungles and forests.
Among them dwells a woman whose
strange characteristics are strongly
reminiscent Of Haggard's famous
"She.' The woman is supposed to be
a great enchantress She is held in
dread by the Panggangs. She lives
alone in bamboo hut, shaded by the
leaves of the sacred ubang tree. Food
is brought her daily by the Oldest man
or woman of the tribe.
The Panggangs are said to be a
peaceable and honest people, and do not,
among themselves, either fight or steal.
They literally have no use for money
for trading purposes, but if by chance
they get money they bury it, so that
they may use it in trading after death.
After getting a supply of food, they
do no work whatever until the supply
is ended. They eat any wild creature.
These people do not seem to have
any religion, but they have a queer
belief in the transmigration of souls.
In their country tigers are numerous.
and they believe that sometimes their
relatives, when they died, become
changed into tigers.

UNITY IN FIGHTING NATIONS I

While we Americans who suffer rather remotely
the consequences of the Great War are arguing
and entreating for the end of hostilities the sub
Jects OF the battling kings and emperors as well
the citizens of fighting France are making no de-
mands for cessation of the war strong enough to
cause much disturbance, so far, at least as cen
sored news dispatches relate
There have been utterances of dissatisfaction
about one thing or another, but demands gener-
ally that the conflict be brought to close. Anti
war riots are reported from Austria Hungary which
may be attributed to the repeated misfortunes of
the Austrian arms. Protests have been made too
in both Germany and England regarding alleged
insufficient provision made by the governments for
the wives and children. of soldiers yet these objec
tlons have been made not concerning the contnu-
ance OF the war; but about conditions which con-
tinuance Of the war, taken for granted will bring
about.
Before the war it had been predicted that if ever
conflict between nations came, prohibtive prices of
food in the belligerent countries would cause des
peratlOn among unfed crowds Of the working
classes eliminating in resolutions among them to
stop the war through civil strife The socialistic
organizations and all other bodies having pro-
nounced anti-war sentiments, were also taken into
account in the predictions
1t was even said in tones which commanded re-
spect that there could never again be prolonged
war between nations, but only between classes
that the division lines ON the map of Europe,co
no longer be drawn vertically, between the English
the French, the Germans and the Russians, but
must thenceforth be drawn horizontally separating
capitalists and laborers.
Since the war has broken, however such theories
have been suffering. The antagonism among ma
tions has resulted not in civil dssention but in
unity within the nations. The Great War has, in
stead OF bringing strife within the begerent
countries, prevented civil war which was evidently
pending in some of them
Calls to arms have rung through Europe and
boys and men of all classes have responded per
haps not always with great patriotic fervor, but
at least without loudly uttered protest The aston
ishing national unity thus far manifested should
serve as an example for unity in peace when peace
is finally declared.

tion of his pet measures to the body of
the House.
The slate committee of the House
will meet in this city next Wednesday
to agree upon the distribution of the

and Fahnestock Hall Afternoon

Fahnestock hall was crowded last
night with an interested audience to
hear the Rev. Dr. Scofeld, leader of the
Y. NJ. c.. A. Bible conference, lecture
on the Acts of the Apostles, and they
heard a mastery presentation of the
same. Once again the great teacher
gave the outline of the book, which
could hardly be surpassed, from tine
standpoint of the student. He dwelt
at length upon the great characters,
such as Peter, Paul, Barnabus, Philip,
and so forth. 1t was one of his best
efforts and he held the interest of his
heaters from beginning to end, for they
were instructed and edited as he open
ed the Scriptures.
DR.. Scofeld will speak this evening
in Fahnestock hall at 7.45 o'clock, up
on the Epistles. Doors will open at
7.3O. Tomorrow morning at 1880

Bible conference will be held tomorrow
afternoon at $50 clock in Fahne-
stock hall. Doors will open at 3 o clock.
The closing address will be on the Book
of the Revelation. Both men and wom-
en- are invited. Viewed from any
stasdpoint, this conference has been
the largest and best held under associa
tion auspices in many years, and the
great leader, DR.. Scofeld, will leave the
city with the best wishes of host of
friends, conscious of the fact that he
can return again and be assured of a
hearty welcome.
