AMERICAN FLYERS
ON VERDUN FRONT
Elliot G. Cowdin, of New York,
Again Cited for Bravery
in Air
PARIS. Nav 10,

PARIS. May 10,
All active flyers in the Franco-American
aviation corps, composed entirely of volun-
teer American aviators under French
officers, are now engaged in the greatest
battle in the worlds history before
Verdun.
This fact was revealed today following
the publication of a citation to the order
of the day of Elliot G. Cowdin, of New
York. for the second time for bravery in
attacking German flyers. Military regula-
tions ordinarily do not permit the pub
fishing of any information relating to the
disposition of troops, but it is known
that all the American volunteer aviators
have been engaged on the same sector
since they were incorporated into flying
squadron of their own.
More than 80 volunteer Americans are
in the French flying service, but not more
than half of these have been given their
pilots licenses. The others are complet-
ing their preparation in schools of avia-
ton
Cowdin, a Harvard graduate of 1909.
was one of the original nine members of
the Franco-American squadron who
volunteered early in the war. He first
won recognition last June when he was
cited for bringing down two German
aviators and was awarded the French
"Croix de Guerre."

arm under the wheels of Philadelphia

two miles above Reading, con March 81,
1915. A jury before Judge Rogers. in
Common Pleas Court No. =, returned a
verdict for the railroad, which was sued
by the boys father, John Petrowsky.
BY far the most cheerful person in the
courtroom, the lad told how he and play
fellows had climbed on a coal car of the
train which stopped at Oakbrooh, and
how he had lost his balance and fallen
when a brakeman threw chunks of coal
at him The railroad denied that the
train had stopped or that missiles had
been thrown at the plaintiff. The boys,
the defense asserted, ''hopped" the train
kicking off coal.

POLICE ON NEW TRAIL
IN NIEEKINS MURDER
Staying of Boy Now Laid to
Man Living Near Scene
of Crime

A man who has police record and who
has been accused of having harmed boys
and girls is being sought by the detectives
for the murder of Richard Meekins.
Detectives headed by George Timlin,
who is in charge of the Meekins case,
searched the marsh lands in Southwest
Philadelphia yesterday in their effort to
locate this man. They were out again
early today.
The detectives declare they have in
formation that this man occupied a
dilapidated shack near Penrose Ferry
Bridge at the time the Meekns boy disap-
peared from his home, 2449 South 6ist
street. On the day after that event, or on
November 80, the detectives assert. the
man tore down the shack and has not
been seen since.
On the supposition that this person can
give them important information bearing
upon the murder, the detectives are pre-
pairing hundreds of circulars bearing his
description, which will be distributed
throughout the State and nearby police
centres.
That the slayer of the s-year-old boy
was a degenerate is now the opinion of
the detectives/and for a man of that type
their search is concentrating The
Rogues Gallery has been secured for
photographs of men who have been ar
rested for crimes against children and
who we're at large when the Meekins boy
disappeared.
Timlin obtained photographs and de-
scriptions of a number of men who at
some time or other have been found guilty
of such crimes, but who have been re-
leased He also obtained the Detective
Bureau signatures of these persons. which
will be turned over to Chief Postal In
spector Cortelyou for comparison by eX
perts with the notes received by the pa
rents of the Meeiins boy.
Belief is growing in police circles that
Luke Meekins, father of the slain child
knows nothing of the murder of his SON.
and that Meekins will be released from
custody when arraigned next Saturday
at Central Station

THE MOOSE CALL

Far through the wood comes the
sound of her calling,
Calling me down to the deep flowing
stream;
Sweet is her voice as the swift water
falling,
Soft is her tone as the breath OF a
dream.
Family hear her. I push through
the briars,
Twigs snap before me and branches
are torn;
Swift do l run as the forest Of fires,
Light is my heart as the breeze Of
the morn.
Little white rabbit, leap out of my
highway,
Fly, little bird, with your whispering
hum;
Down to the water through wood trail
and byway,
My love is calling and bidding me
come.
Louder her voice grows-she hears
my tread beating,
Even the flowers and grasses make
way;
Even the trees shall bow down to our
meeting;
| am the king of the forests today
'Out in the water I creep-has she
waited?
God of the woodland! 'Tis man
come to kill.
Bright is the flash of the gun that I
hated"
All of the forest is stricken-and
still.-MARGARET Il. SANGsTER, JR,
