We were now less than thirty feet

him and L got a bullet in the should

continuing the chase.
THE Germans tried to escape by
dropping, but L flew over them again.
Apparently one of them was wound

volley at point blank range and the
Albatross tipped forward, shooting
nose downwards 5000 feet to the
earth.
when the machine struck the
earth it seemed to crumple into a ball
and bounded along the hillside, like
wounded rabbit running. We fol-
lowed them down, descending in spir-

while the observer was crushed un-

we found a paper bearing the name

NATION IN DANCER
At Least 1 Per Cent of Total
Population of France Killed.
Death Loss Places Country in a
Serious Situation.

Berlin, May 29.-The sufferings OF
France from loss of life, Industrial
land agricultural depression and heavy
financial losses are no longer CLOSED
over by even the most optimistic or
gans of the French press
If the number of dead by this time
were put at 100000 it is quite certain
that the number would not be excess
sive. Thus the loss in human lives is
at least 1 per cent of the total popu-
lation.
Since the beginning of the war the
death rate has almost doubled. A
great decrease of the birth rate is in
evitable. A nation of great vitality
can replace even such gigantic losses
in a comparatively short time. The
case is different with France.
If she should maintain her boun-
Diary lines a war lasting for one year
would decrease her population at
least by 100000 souls. Since the num-
Der of foreigners is also greatly dimin
ished the sum total would be about a
million. Thus France would be set
back to the same position she held in
1900. OF men between the age of 20
and 40 she will not have more than
the empire had in the summer OF

Permanent Committee From
Many Nations Proposed.

Washington, May 29--Plans for
steam lines between the United States

Representatives of the United States,

United States and Rio De Janerio,
Montevideo and Buenos Aires, capable
of making the voyage to Rio in fif-
teen days.
1t was agreed between the other
members and Delegate Veraga of
Chile that there should be two lines
of fast steamers-one to serve Brazil,
Uruguay, and Argentina and the other
for Ecuador, Peru and Chile. Dele
gate AlzamOre, while concurring in
the report, did not sign it for lack of
authority from his government as
