EYEWITNESS TELLS
 OF DUEL IN CLOUDS

Dunkirk, France, Feb. 12.-A fight between two French aeroplanes and one of the new "armored', German monopIanes, g type which has only re- gently begun to appear on the north western front, is described in a letter from a French officer. He writes:
 For half an hour the black Taube had been describing internal circles over our lines, while our men crouched in their trenches, covering with their bodies bayonetS, mess-tins and every thing else whose glittering surface might betray their position. I alone stood up, observing the enemy through my field glasses.
 Suddenly a French airman emerged from Q cloud above the Taube. The dry bark of 8 nitrailleuse announced that the FFenchnnan was attacking The Taube turned tail without. reply ing, but only to return to the battle.
 Then the two great birds charged head-on- From below it seemed that they must meet a. terrible shock Moth ing of the sort; the German passed a little above the Frenchman, the me- chine guns spoke. Carried apart by the speed of their charge. like knights in 9 tourney, they swept about in. great circles to renew the combat.
 The FTenchman hovered and wait ed; the adversary returned qgick1y with clever manoeuvres, flying above then below the Frenchnan, firing when he could while the Frenchnan seem ing to remain almost stationary, re- piled with energy.
 Tn the trenches our red-pantalooned soldiers and the spike e-helmeted Ger mans alike suspended snIpfng opera tions and followed that death struggle with equal emotion. An involuntary Ah!' broke from a thousand thr6ats as biplane emerged from the sartei cloud that had hidden the French

At Whit by three were killed and only two wounded At Scarborough the list is not procurabIe though it is known that II at least died and 28 were injured.

DANGER IN CLOSE ALLIANCES
Investigation Has Shown That Cancer
Is Most Probable When Cousins
Are Welded.

Speaking of the possible hereditary
tendency to cancer, DR.. Charles B.
Davenport of the eugenics laboratry
at Cold Spring Harbor, N. Y, says
of the fact that the incidence of cancer
is highest in Maine: II have no doubt
that this is due to the presence of one
or more races in Maine which are nom
immune to cancer"
Doctor Davenport's studies indicate
that resistance to cancer Is a positive
(dominant) trait and that nonresist-
ance appears in children only when
both parents belong to nonresistant
race. And this result is commonest,
other things being equal, where cousin
marriages are commonest, because
that makes it probable that Is one
parent belongs to cancer race, the
other-the cousin-will belong to the
same cancer race. Now, in rural
Maine cousin marriages are extremely
frequent, especially in the islands off
the coast, and here we have the con-
ditions for the result-the high Incl
dence of numbers of the cancer race
in an inbred community"
