Mothers Pension We. Child Poverty.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 20.-Dele-
gates from twenty-five states OF the
union which four years ago knew
nothing of the pensioning Of mothers
for the adjustment of child-poverty,
are today meeting in the first annual
session Of the National Mothers
convention at the Civic auditorium.
The subject OF pensions from all
angles and particularly the practice
and theory Of the present laws Will
be discussed.
Ways and means will be devised to
have the mothers pension system
taken over by the public school sys-
TENS Of the various states. Today. a
majority of the states pay mothers
pensions through the Juvenile courts.
but this gives too much Of a flavor
OF criminality to the movement. More
than 10000 Elks, standing for the
principles Of mothers pensions, have
been invited to attend the convention.
It is estimated during the ensuing
year, more than $10.O00.000 will be
paid to mothers for taking care of
their own children, where the main
support Of the family has either died
or failed to discharge his duty.

There was much reticence concern
ing the conference, but 1t was under
stood that the presidents and Score
tary Lansing's views as embodied IN
the proposed note were Endorsed
unanimously.
The expectation was that Lansing
would draft the formal Anal note IN
accordance with suggestions made
today and submit 1t for concluding
cabinet examination next Friday and
that It would be dispatched early next
week.
To what extent the Orduna affair
would figure in the note, it was I'M
derstood would depend on the result
Of pending investigations. The gov
eminent has no information Secre-
tary Lansing said confirmatory OF the
report that the ship was fired upon
without warning. II it is proved that
the vessel disregarded an order to
heave to for a search, he 1ntimated
there might be no ground for an
American complaint.
In any event. he added, the matter
probably would not delay the note.
The communication was said to be
much shorter than those which have
peroeded 1t.
There were unconfirmed rumors
that the United States will respond to
Germany's hint for American media
ton in the interests of modification
both In German submarine methods
and IN the British order in council. 1t
was suggested that the Berlin foreign
office might properly be asked to
make a definite proposition for trans

Death Struggle In Air.

LONDON, June 30.-(By mail to
New York.)-The graphic story of a
fight to the death three thousand feet
in the air is told by British soldier.
returned from duty in northern
France. Official dispatches laconical-
ly told of the destruction of a German
taube. The real story arrived today.
ut happened right above our camp, :"
the soldier said "Anti-aircraft guns
were barking right and left. We look
ed skyward and saw tiny speck
which later proved to be a German
taube. A hsw moments later we saw
two of our own aviators ascend and
make for the marauder who rushed
away, dropping bombs as he fed.
Then came the cry: He's coming
back and SO he was. pursued by the
British planes who fired and missed.
If you have ever seen two aeroplanes
lodging one another you will under
stand that 1t is more good luck than
Workmanship when one fires an effec-
tive shot.
THE chase continued in full view
OF US all. Turning, twisting, elevating.
descending-wouId this German ever
be brought down? We wondered. He's
up above our men,. cried someone. It
was sight l would not have missed.
Although terrible. it was magnificent
1t was like dog fight in the air, thou
sands Of feet above the ground.
1--WE rested our eyes for a moment
and looked again. They were still
lodging and twisting and coming
nearer. Our men were on top again
and We breathed little easier. Then
a sudden twist, the German veered
and volplaned down FIVE hundred feet.
Another twist and the taube fell like
a wounded bird.
There's a mass Of broken metal
and two graves near our camp that
tells the tale. These air fights are
not uncommon in northern France.
And the end Is nearly always death !"
