A country politician in New Jer-

One dSy he visited school, and
told the teacher he desired to exam

terror-stricken inhabitants OF Ruma-
MAN origin, though the promise OF eeK-
change is not always kept. Czernowltz
is as a city of dead. The shops are
closed and the residents other than
Austrian have fled to escape persecution
and death. The streets are unllghted
at night. and no civilians are allowed
abroad after 6 o'clock.
Because of the enormous losses OF

HIGH HONOR WON
BY FRENCH AIRMAN
Pegoud, Scout and Loop
the-Loop Inventor, Gets
Military Medal.

Paris, March 5.-Oficial announce
ment is made that Adolphe Pegoud, the
famous French aviator, has received
the military medal, the highest honor
within the gift of the government.
The announcement says that Pegoud
"on several occasions pursued enemy
aeroplanes and on February attacked
at a great height and caused the fall OF
a German machine. Soon afterward he
attacked two other aircraft, causing the
first to fall and the second to land"
Pegoud first came into fame in 1913,
while making experiments for obtain
ing safety in the air, as the originator
of the feat of flying upside down in an
aeroplane. A short time later he en-
HANGED his reputation for daring by
performing for the first time the feat
Of looping-the-loop. For his expert
ments Pegoud received the decoration
of the Legion of Honor.
Several times since the outbreak OF
the war Pegoud has come into notice.
