GERMANS BURNED
IN BATTLE IN AIR
Belgian Officer Describes Des-
perate Fight in Which Garros
Brought Down Foe.

Furnes. Belgium, April 9.-The duel
in the air. already reported in the
French official dispatches, in which
German aircraft was brought down by
Roland G. Garros, a famous French
aviator, inside the allied lines, was de-
scribed to-day by Major Raoul Pontus,
son Of the former Belgian Minister Of
War, who witnessed the combat The
German. he stated, at first succeeded in
rising above Garros's machine, but the
latter by a clever twist escaped. and
then flew atop the German.
From this moment the Germans
position became critical" said Major
POntus, "for Garros overlook him
rapidly Presently the cracking Of a
quick-frer showed the Frenchman
judged himself sufficiently near to take
the offensive. Could the German
escape? Il seemed difficult, for Garros
shot forward in great bounds, getting
nearer and nearer but the German OBJ
server used his carbine freely, and it
seemed that a bullet might strike the
Frenchman.
Suddenly long jet of white smoke
gushed from the German machine and
then 4 little flame. which in an instant
eneyeloped the whole aeroplane Not

escape soon was converted into a hor-
rifying downward plunge. The aero

STARTS SHOPPING,
FORGETS NAME
But Woman Tells Policeman,
Who Finds Husband and
Sends Her Home.

Mrs. William Callahan, Of 307 West
18th Street, went up to l25th Street
yesterday afternoon to do some shop
ping. She entered a store and then
began 10 wonder why she was there.
That set her to wondering about other
things, and she soon found herself
puzzling as to who she was, anyhow.
and where she lived.
She stood in a daZe, unable TO reach
any definite decision as TO what TO do.
when she saw the blue uniform Of Pa
trolman Gabel. she remembered that
a man dressed like that was a police
man, so she told her troubles TO him
Il don't know my name, | don't know
where l live-I have lost my memory
entirely please take care OF me" she
said.
Gabel took her to the station house
and William Callahan, her husband,
was hunted up. His memory was work
ing all right and he recognized his
wife.
Don't you know me, Mary" he
asked
NO" she said, looking at him. az
can't remember anything" She then
stared at him a while.
"Oh, is that you, Billy" she ex-
claimed, seeming to have o fash Of
memory.
He told her 10 was
well, | don't seem 20 remember you
yet, but / guess il is all right" she
said, as she allowed her husband TO
take her home. Callahan told the
police that his wife had had severe
illness recently.

GERMANS RELIEVE
PINCHOT OF POUCHES

London. April Q. There is more to
the story of Clifford Pinchots being re-
fused permission to enter Belgium than
appears on the surface. The Tribune
now learns that Mr. Pinchot was not
only detained and searched, but that
the diplomatic pouches which he WAS
carving from The Hague TO the lega-
ton in Brussels were taken from him
by the German authorities. Mr. Plnchot
returned TO The Hague after he was re-
leased, but without the pouches, which,
however. the Germans sent on TO Brand
Whitlock. the American Minister in
Brussels.
1t is assumed that Mr. Pinchot asked
the Germans to surrender the pouches
TO him. as IL is customary TO impress
upon people carrying diplomatic cor
respoudcncc not TO permit the pouches
out of their possession.
Mr.. Pinchot tonight refused to com
mcnt further than % say that the
pouches had finally reached Brussels.
The pouches must have been in the
hands of the Germans for some time,
but there is no report that they were
opened. Owing 20 the series Of special
locks and seals, 10 is almost impossible
20 open a diplomatic pouch without
leaving a trace Ii is, Of course, seri-
Gus international afront TO interfere
with a friendly nations diplomatic cor

LB, ON. 10 The Tribune J

London, April l0.-An Austrian Of
fcer who has just returned TO Buda-
pest from the Carpathians, where he
had been taking part in the operations
Of the last three months, has given the
following description of the mountain
fighting 10 the Budapest correspondent
of 1.-THE Morning Post:
"The last fortnight In the Carpa-
thians has been continuation OF irlghV-
fully fierce battle all along the line
The thunder of the guns never ceases ;,e
during the day for a moment. we
soon got quite used to the sound and
when / reached the zone outside the

Is strange how birds and small AM
mails like squirrels and hares IN the
mountains grew quite accustomed 10
the boom Of the guns and the crack or
the rifles. You can fire your rlhe rlght
under a tree and little bird or a
squirrel in the branches takes no heed.
THE Russians are determined, ~
seems. to get through this time, and
the waste of ammunition and men on
their part in incessant attacks points
TO the fact that they can afford to
waste them. My brigade was holding
a position at point which we had mao
time to fortify since the beginning OF
January. II took us two weeks to get
our guns into position. We dragged
them up a mountain slope thousand
metres high, and yet we have them no
more.
Positions Strongly Fortified.
"When the news of the fall OF
Przemysl reached us our brigade was
ordered to fortify our positions stili
more. for by that time we expected the
real Russian onslaught. We did al!

ALLIES HALT SHIPS
FOR GERMAN MAIL
Cruisers Take 1900 Bags
of Letters from italian
Vessels.

London, April 9-British and French
cruisers, according to advices received
here by way Of Switzerland, have taken
from Italian mail steamers 1900 bags
Of German mail addressed abroad and
containing letters, postcards, money
checks and small packages.
Bags coming from abroad intended
for Germany will be treated in the
same way and confscated. This course
on the part of the aiiled countries, II
is understood. is being made IN re-
sponse TO Germanys submarine war
against non-combatant merchant and
passenger ships.
British warships recently captured
on a Norwegian vessel confidential let
ters forwarded by Dr. Won Bethmann-
Hollweg. the German Imperial Chancel-
Tor, to Count Won BernstOrtf, the Ger
man Ambassador 70 the United States.
The captain of the Blue Funnel Line
steamer Theseus, which left Liverpool
on March p for Java, has sent back d
report Of an exciting chase by Ger
man submarine. The Theseus, after
running tfty-sevcn miles, managed to
make her escape. but she was subjected
to and damaged by she'll fire from the
undersea craft.
On March %, at o'clock in the
morning, the Theseus sighted the sub
marine at a point forty miles south
west of Bishop Rock Lighthouse. The
submarine signalled her TO stop and
abandon ship, but this order was g
nored and the Theseus put on full
steam and started zig-zagging on her
course. The submarine then opened
fire, striking the Theseus five times
with her shells. The chase continued
until 10:30. when the submarine aban-
doned the pursuit and appeared to turn
her attention TO a small steamer flying
the Norwegian flag
The governments intention 10 en-
courage merchantmen to resist or dodge
submarine attacks Is emphasized by an
official announcement to-day that Cap
tain John Richard Green, of the steam
err Vosges. which was sunk off the Cor
nish coast on March p by the she'll
fire of a German submarine. has re
ceiyed a commission as lieutenant IN
the Royal Naval Reserve together with
the cross Of the D. S. 0. The other
officers Of the steamer received gold
watches and each member Of the crew
SIS.
The Nosges was under fire for more
than two hours before she was sunk,
her chief engineer being killed and two
other officers and two members Of the
crew, as well as a woman passenger,
being wounded. BY skilful handling Of
his ship Captain Green prevented 1t
from being tOrpedoed.
According to a dispatch from Copen-
hagen, group of Norwegian airmen
who have been securing the coasts Of
Norway investigating rumors that a
German submarine base was located in
some sheltered spot OF these neutral
waters. found several German subma-
rnes gathered behind the cliffs at Ber-
gen Bay. The submarines were or
dered to leave Immediately or else be
intcrned for the remainder OF the war.

u. S. OPPOSES
GERMAN VIEW
Declaration of London In
acceptable as Basis of
FRYE Settlement.

Washington. April "a quick reply
will be made by the United states TO
the note Of the Imperial German For-
eign Office regarding reparation for the
loss Of the American cargo ship VIII
lam Y. Frye, which will take issue
with certain Of the points made by the
Germans in framing that document.
The proposed settlement is on a
basis entirely satisfactory 70 the
American government, but in citing
precedents and announcing their own
policy the Germans, II is said. have set
forth certain tenets which will not be
acceptable 10 the United States.
The State Department is not yet pre-
pared 20 say which Of the particular
phrases Of the German note are mac
ceptable, but the necessity for a
further commun cation which will let
the Germans know how the United
States feels about them is recognized.
References 20 the Declaration Of
London embodied in the German
answer are undoubtedly among the
points on which the United States finds
itself still al issue with Germany. 1t
will be remarked by the State Depart
mcnt that when, at the beginning OF
the war. the United States suggested
20 foreign governments hDOuN " en-"
bark in hostilties that the Declaration
of London be accepted as the guiding
and regulating code OF the war, and
after certain OF the nations had re-
fused 20 abide by the declaration, this
country withdrew the suggestion and
announced that in dealing with the
beligerents she would herself DO
bound only by the international code
as existing before that declaration.
Another interesting phase Of the
FRYE note is the statement regarding
the obligations of commanders o.
threatened vessels TO remove pa
sengers to a place Of safety. II may
be cited by the United States when It
begins its discussion with the Berlin
Foreign Office on the death Of Leon c.
Thrasher in the submarine attack on
the British steamer Falaba

tiations looking to the ending of the
war. she would not and could not IN
itiate any such movement The story
Of to-day 70 the effect that Kaiser VII
helm has caused a statement OF ms
present position to be presented TO the
American government was denied as
entirely without foundation by the en-
bassy officials and also at the State
Department Secretary Bryan said that
the matter had not even been consid-
cred for "long time
The reference of the Secretary OF
State TO the fact that for long time
there has been no consideration OF a
peace plan was acc pied as meaning
not since before the beginning of the
present year.
At the German Embassy the senti-
ment is expressed that Germany is not
in position 10 beBln peace hcBoIIa
tions, for the reason that thus far the
German nation has not found herself
getting the worst Of it in any phase
of the land operations. In the western
theatre Of war the fighting is still
being carried on IN enemy territory
with Germany until very recently at
least the aggressor. The fighting there
has all been in either Belgian or
French territory, with only small
portion OF Alsace invaded by the
French.
in the Eastern arena the fighting has
only once OF twice passed across the
boundary Of Eastern Prussia. The
series Of Russian victories over the
Austrians in the Carpathan Mountains
are not looked upon as German defeats
except in so far as fractional portion
of the army defending the mountain
passes has been made up Of German
troops
