HER LOVER KILLED IN BATTLE,
MAXINE ELLIOTT DARES DEATH
BY II. j, PHILLIPS

PARIS, Sept. 4.-Why does
Maxine Elliott face death on the
Belgian battle front?
why does the celebrated Amer
lean actress, whose life has been
attuned to the plaudits of an
adoring public, now daily enact a
, drama of death and suffering
with the shrek of bursting shrap-
mel as the only applause for her
acting?
Why does the woman who has
reigned in the drawing rooms of
royalty now spend her days and
nights in Belgian trenches, or in
a damp and musty supply boat
anchored in the Ypres canal?
The public in Paris and in Lon
don, too, wonder about Maxine
Elliott, the gossips chattering
about her, but only "a few of her
close friends have guessed why
she is counting death SO ardently.
why daily she filings her life in
deaths face in the foul smelling
trenches, or in the zone of bat
tie.
And they trace the reason for
this courtship of death back to
that day last winter when news
came from Constantinople that
Anthony F. Wilding, brave SOL
der, world-famous tennis star,
had died in action in the Darda-
nelles.
That Wilding was devoted to
Maxine Elliott all London knew;
his infatuation was as frank as
1t was ardent, and all London
knew that the tennis star was
the only one of many admirers ON
whom the American Beauty
looked with favor.
That they were to be married
last winter was familiar gossip in
London drawing rooms, though
their engagement was never for
mally announced.
Then his country called Wild
ing, and no one was more eager
for him to 60 to the front and
figt for England tan the Ameri-
can Maxine Elliott, who was then
giving generously of her fortune
to Red Cross work for the allies.
Wilding followed his country's
flag to the Far East and he
fought with conspicuous bravery
at the Dardanelles, and 1t was
there that he fell in a particular
ly daring charge against the
Turks.
Vikings death seemed to
transform Maxine Elliott. The
favorite of the drawing rooms
withdrew definitely from society.
The social butterfly became an
Amazon, q Joan of Arc. She
prepared at once to go to the
front to find out and face the
danger that had robbed her of

Up to this time 100 pounds has
been the limit of weight of the
bombs dropped from aeroplanes.
Three or four have been carried.
Aiming the bomb has been a
matter for guessing. The accur-
ate range finding and sighting
instruments used by artillerymen
on ship and shore have not come
into use among aviators, chiefly
because the loads they carry have
not permitted it.
One of the principal features OF
Britain's giant flying machine

SAN DIEGO. Cal, Sept. 4. =
Maybe before long we'll all be
able to gouge right into a lus-

on tho development of a seedles

half way through the task as re.

growing now contain only about

+ TORONTO, Ont, Sept. 8. -
Think of shooting an aerial tor
pedo equal in power to that which
sank the Lusitania, into the
KrNpp works at Essen, or the big
German supply station and fleet
at Cuxhaven.
The giant biplane that Glenn
H. Curtiss is building here for the
British army will be able to
carry at least eight such projec-
tiles in long flights invading Ger
man territory.
The bombardments which the
British flying officers expect to
accomplish with this machine
would make previous aerial at
tacls on German posts seem like
! exhibitions Of fireworks.

ANOTHER STRIKE IMMINENT.
Thousands of Baltimore and Chicago
Garment Makers About to Walk
Out.

Baltimore, Aug 31-The national
executive council Of the Amalgamated
Clothing Workers of America adjourn
lea it's annual meeting at the Hotel
lRennert yesterday and told the loca:
body to proceed with its demands for
an eight-hour day and more pay AMI
that the demands would be supported
by the national organization.
This means, according to Sidney
Hillman, of New York, president Of
the Amalgamated, that the nationa!
body will back local strike of from
$4,000 to $4,000 garment workers il
the demands of the latter are not met
by their employers.
Mr.. Hillman also said that there is
likely to be strike of $4,000 garment
workers in Chicago within four or five
weeks, for the prospects Of the de-
mands of the workers being met in
that city are far from favorable.
But strike in Baltimore or Chicago
he said, will not mean a national
strike. Each local body will work as
unit in it's demands or in 4 strike tfar
may result from refusal Of the de-
mands. There will be no ''sympathetlc
strike"
