WESTERN BATTLES IN AIR

Gun Fire.

General Headquarters of the British
Army in France.-Mud which ham,
pered the armies in France and Bel
GUM throughout the winter virtually
has disappeared along the British
front. Dismal, rainy days have given
way to weeks OF sunshine, which has
dried up the roads, trenches and lines
of communication. making the soldier
life a paradise compared with former
conditions.
With the coming Of clearer weather
there also has been marked increase
in the number OF aeroplane reconnais-
sances on both sides. Half dozen air
craft have been constantly maneuver-
ing over Ypres. Most of them are
British attempting to bring down Ger
man flyers, who try to spot batteries at
the rear OF the British lines.
Day after day the sky is unlocked
except by the cotton wool flakes Of
bursting shrapnel, as anti-aircraft guns
seek the flyers. Although the duels
continue for hours, machines on eth
er side are seldom brought down. The
population of Ypres, almost daily un-
der German shell fire, seldom turn
their eyes heavenward. So stated with
war are all civilians that the graceful
craft are unnoticed as they swerve
circle and wing for vantage points.

LEO M. FRANK MUST DIE
United States Supreme Court Refuses
to Grant Condemned Man
Habeas Corpus.

Washington.-The United States gu.
preme court has held that the state Of
Georgia denied Leo NJ. Frank no right
under the federal constitution in sen.
fencing him to death for the murder Of
Mary Phagan. The court affirmed the
action Of the federal district court for
northern Georgia, refusing to release
Frank on writ Of habeas corpus, Jus.
tice Pitney announcing the opinion.
Justice Holmes delivered dissent.
ing opinion, In which Justice Hughes
concurred.
This decision, II is believed here, sx.
hausts all means OF fighting In the
courts to save Franks life. His attor.
neys, however, will have 80 days In
which to file an application for a re-
hearing. At the end Of that time ap.
parently only the possibility Of par
don will be between the prisoner and
death.
The habeas corpus proceedings rest
ed on the claim that the trial court had
lost jurisdiction over the prisoner by
reason of mob domination" during the
trial and by Franks involuntary alb
sence at the time the verdict was rem
dered.
The majority of the court held that
the findings by the supreme court Of
Georgia that the alleged mob domi-
nance" amounted to nothing more than
Irregularities, not prejudicial to Frank,
should not be disturbed upon the mere
assertions of the prisoner that the
facts were otherwise than as found.
Atlanta, Ga.-Leo NJ. Franks attor-
neys, when informed of the decision
of the United States supreme court,
said that they believed that every
means In Franks behalf berofe the
courts now had been exhausted. They
added that they now probably would
prepare petition for presentation be-
fore the Georgia prison commission
asking for Communication of Franks
sentence.
81 am very much disappointed over
the supreme courts decision, but will
keep up the fight" said Leo M. Frank
when informed that his habeas corpus
case had gone against him. He refused
to add to this statement.

Damage Done.
London.-Taking advantage of fine
weather, German airships have made
three recent visits to England. The
last visit was made by German aero
plane, which flew over the county OF
Kent, dropping bombs. In all, four
missiles were dropped-in the vicinity
OF the towns of Faversham and Sitting
bourne, the latter just across the Bugle
from the Isle of Sheppey, which is the
birthplace of the British royal naval
flying corps.
All OF the bombs fell In fields.
From Sittingbourne the aeroplane
flew over the Isle of Sheppey and 1t is
thought probable the raider mistook
che towns attacked for Sherness, the
British naval base, which is on the
other side of the island. On his way
the airman passed over Canterbury
and other towns In Kent, but did not
loose any explosives upon or near
them.
Zeppelins, 1t is believed, also visited
East Anglia and dropped some rs in
cendiary and explosive bombs on Lo-
westoft, Southweld, Maldon, Burnham-
on-the-Crouch, Heybridge and Tilling-
ham, but, like previous raids, only ma
terial damage was done.
