FIGHT AT 10000 FEET.
French Aviator Attacks German At
That Heisht-Latter Falls
Like Stone.

Paris.-The following official ac-
count Of an engagement between a
French and German aeroplane was
given out in Paris:
AN enemy aeroplane having been
observed over our lines at Aspach,
near Thanh, in upper Alsace, one of
our aviator sergeants took wing and
mounted in 80 minutes to a height of
10000 feet. At this altitude he en-
gagged his enemy with a machine gun.
ITO this fire the German replied with
his machine gun, and one of his bull
lets struck the motor of the French
machine. The sergeant again assembled
to position above his adversary and
fired three bands of cartridges. Dur
ing the third round the German aviator
was seen by the Frenchman suddenly
to throw his arms into the air. His
machine then began to fall, and il
came down like a stone inside of our
line.
"Phe French aviator came down un
der control. Once on the ground he
examined his machine. He found that
bullets fred by his antagonist had per
forated his cylinder, penetrated the
steel shield at the back of the motor
and riddled his sails. The Frenchman
himself was slightly wounded in the
neck"

Berlin.-A further success in the
Austro-German drive at the Galician
capital of Lemberg was announced by
the War Office. The statement says
that the town of Rawa Ruska, 80
miles northwest of Lemberg, has been
captured from the Russians.
Special dispatches from the front
describe the Russian retreat eastward
from Grodek and the Russian resist
ance from the Tanew river to the
mouth of the Werezyca. Air scouts
report that the Russians have fallen
back upon their last line of defenses
protecting Lemberg, which is nine
miles west of the city limits.
The situation at Lemberg is evil

Mackensen seized the railway between
Lemberg and Rawa Ruska, which is
the main line of travel northward.

Wireless dispatches from Berlin
represent the battle which has been in

Of Arras, Northern France, as one of
the great conflicts of the war, which
may decide the fate of France. Losses
OF both the Germans and the Allies are
described as fearful, and one stretch
OF the field, from Arras, eight miles
toward the Belgian border, is said to
be covered with corpses.
In Alsace there was heavy fighting
along the valley of the Fecht River,
and the French assert their lines were
pushed further northward. The Ber-

WOULD CURB STATE AID.
Private Institutions Get sss2,soo \
Year, Says Mr.. Davenport.

year, Gays MF. davenport
Calling attention 10 the fact that
Maryland appropriates more money to
private institutions than any State in
the Union except Pennsylvania, Will
liam H. Davenport, secretary of the
Board of State Aid and Charities,
urged those who are looking for ways
Of saving money for the State to
scrutinize carefully the list of these
private institution appropriations.
He shows that Maryland con-
tribues to institutions under private
management $562,3OO year, and he
asserts that the experience of charity
experts all over the country shows that
the practice of giving State funds to
private institutions often does more
harm than good, that it brings politics
into the institutions, that 1t leads to
duplication of work, that it tends to
increase pauperism by Disgusting It
and cause a confusion between public
and private charity. In part, Mr..
Davenport said:
"At this time, when the State Treas
ury is facing deficit of approximately
81, 100000 and our State officials are
hunting around for an avenue of saw
ing money, 1t would seem to be wise
very carefully to scrutinize the chari-
able expenditures of the State, which
now amount to $1,SO1,SOO a year for
maintenance purposes alone. OF this
sum $7SS,OOO goes to public institu.
tions and $562.3O0 to private institu-
tions.
"At the recent Conference OF Chart
ties this matter was very thoroughly
discussed and the consensus Of opinion
Of all the leaders in social work In the
country was that the practice of CIV
ing money to private charities is
pernicious and leads to far more evil
than good
while realizing these facts, the
Board of State Aid and Charities Of
Maryland also realizes that it would
be unfair to institutions which have
been built and been dependent for
years upon State aid to, at one stroke,
cut off their public subsidy, and 1t has
no intention of advocating such
measures"
