The lieutenant was a native OF Ores

Paris. June 21.-Corporal Clyde Balls
ley, one Of the latest American aviator
recruits, has received a pilots brevet.
Balsley had terrific baptism OF fire
last Sunday in a battle with three COM
rades against forty German planes. A
majority Of the American squadron
were incapacitated by engine and other
troubles.
Only Balsley, Norman Prince and
Rockwell, with French captain, took
the air under orders 10 proceed over
the German lines. They had hardly
reached the enemy's lines when regu-
lar feet of German planes appeared,
including fifteen new model aviatiks
faster than the Nieuports, with a pas
senger to fire from the rear and sides
in addition TO pilots mitrailleuse for
ward.
The American group singled out one
Of the enemy, who Immediately began
TO drop in spirals. As the Americans
followed him the rest of the enemy
swooped upon them en- masse. The ma
chimes of Balsley and Prince capsized
and fell headlong The French captain,
thinking they were doomed, signalled
Rockwell, "Sauye qui peut." Prince
managed to right his plane a few hun
dred feet from the ground and landed
just behind the French trenches unhurt,
though bullet hole in his helmet and
his riddled machine vouched for the
narrowness of his escape.
Balsley was wounded in the thigh by
an explosive bullet. He was saved by
the straps which held him in his seat.
He fell upside down until near the
ground. when he righted his machine
enough TO escape death, though the
plane was badly smashed.
Balsley, too, was lucky enough TO
land behind the French trenches. Sol
dicrs carried him to a dressing station,
where his wound was found to be not
dangerous. lie will probably resume
flying before long. His exploit was re-
warded by the military medal.
Chapman, whose wound has now
healed, and Rockwell have also been
awarded the military medal. They are
both slated for the Legion of Honor.
They expect to return 10 the front in a
fortnight.

Publicity Threat Will Depend on

On account Of the food OF protests
restaurant keepers who objected to the
unfavorable rating of their establish
ments for minor faults, such as lack OF

department inaugurated a new system
yesterday morning.
Hereafter restaurants will not be

been warned of their faults and have
had a chance to remedy them before a

they still persist in serving their pa
irons food that has been kept in dirty
cellars and cooked in disregard of the
rules of health, they need expect little
mercy in the way of publicity.
To Withhold Figures.
This threat was issued in an official
mandate delivered to the press in the
afternoon. Until the time of the rein

Lucius p. Brown believes that the
system Of grading eating places in the
same manner in which many food
products have been graded in the last
year will result in n complete change
in the management of the kitchens and
storerooms of New York's thousands
of restaurants. Establishments which
are pronounced perfect by the Health
Department will publicly advertise the
fact and will endeavor to keep their
health record clean. Others that have
been graded at the bottom of the list
will be avoided by the public and will
strive for a better rating as matter
OF sef-protection.
The following telegram TO Lucius p.
Brown, indorsing the departments
grading plan, was received from K. F.

OSBORNE THE WAN
Stafford SWEARS
Repeats identification of
Lawyer as Rae Tanzer's
Companion.

Tears, hysteria and fanting spells
again delayed the progress of the Tan
ger trial yesterday. Rae Tanner faint
ed for the third time since the case
was called Her sister, Rose, wept and
became hysterical on the witness stand.
1t was necessary to suspend the taking
OF testimony several times while they
regained their composure.
Rae Tanners fearful condition
reached it's climax in the fainting spell
when Franklin d. Stafford, the aged
clerk of the Plainheld, n. j., hotel in
which she and the man she knew as
Oliver Osborne spent day in the fall
of 1914, was called to testify. As he
told of seeing them together Miss Tan
ger slumped forward in her chair, and
would have fallen had not a woman
friend caught her. She was placed on
a couch, and when she did not recover
in fifteen minutes the proceedings were
adjourned until afternoon.
Unmoved by the turmoil, Stafford told
his story, artfully brought to a climax
by Benjamin Slade.
as that the man you saw with this
little girl?" demanded Slade, indicat-
ing Miss Tanner as James W. Osborne
walked into the room.
Stafford Repeats Old Answer.
There is no question about it," re-
piled Stafford, evenly, perhaps uncon-
sciously phrasing his reply ldenticaliy
as he had year ago, when he himself
was on trial for perjury in connection
with the Tanzer-O sborne tangle. he
is the same man. without doubt.
Stafford was convicted of perjury and
sentenced to Jail, but his conviction
recently was reversed by a hlgher
court and a new trial ordered.
Reference TO Satford's trial by Ben
iamin Slade, of counsel for Miss Tan
ger. started another rumpus.
"You had a trial. so-called, did you
not?" Slade asked the witness.
Before Stafford could reply. William
Rand, jr, special prosecutor was on his
feet with an objection. Judge Wolver-
ton observed that the question was "a
bad lnslnualloH, ilebu4et III" III
Later Slade referred TO the prosecu-
ton of Miss Tanner as a persecution,
and Rand again jumped TO his feet.
Slade consented TO withdraw the re-
mark in so far as il applied TO Rand
and Judge Wolverton
Slade and Rand Clash Again.
A third hare-up came in the examlna-
ton of Mrs. Ethel Curtis, a former
telegraph operator at the Hotel I'm
perial, where James W. Osborne mad
his headquarters when he was candl-
date for District Attorney. She testl-
fed that she was friendly with Osborne
i'm a business way, and admitted that
he had given her book entitled
Count Hannibal"
Rand objected to this line OF ques-
tioning, and Slade said he intended TO
prove by the witness that she knew Of
the relationship between Osborne and
Miss Tanner long before Miss Tanner
brought her now famous breach OF
promise suit. When he failed TO bring
this out Rand declared:
"This examination is absolutely dis
graceful"
Slade remarked that Rand was the
last tribunal he would submit his con-
duct 70. and the trial went merrlly on.
Rose Tanner. between sobs, repeated
her Identification of James W. Osborne
as the elusive Oliver. The trial Will
be continued to-day.
