FAMOUS GERMAN AVIATOR
KILLED IN BATTLE WITH FOE

Berlin. June 26.-Details of the last
fight of First Lieutenant lmmelmann,
the famous German aviator, contained
in letters from the front puhilShed
here, show that he was killed Ill
combat with British flyer which
was one of a group of three lmmel-
mann engaged despite the opposing
odds.
The fight occurred late in the eve
ming. A Fokker was seen TO s"oop
down suddenly upon the group IN
Immelmann's customary fashion. The
Fokker fired a rocket signal showing
its nationality to the German aroll-
erv. which then ceased spraying the
air around the British airmen with
shrapnel.
A British biplane which was selec-
ted for the attack swerved to escape
the Fokker's swoop. The violent rat
tie of machine guns indicated to the
observers below that all the machines
rad engaged vigorously the Fokker'
which continued to follow its selec-
ted victim. The second British hl-
plane followed the combat from me
rear.
Suddenly just as the observers be-
low were about to cheer the Fokker's $
supposed victory the Fooker was seen
TO waver and fall. The aeroplane
then plunged 1000 meters to the
ground. burying the aviator beneath
the motor. Identification marks on
the clothing disclosed it was Immel-
mann who had met his fate.

conducted The country must have

soldiers and for the things they need.
That one thing is certain If the strike
situation should get to that point
where the railways are unable to rem
der this service the only alternative
will be their coniscation until such
time as the trouble shall have been
ended and the strike situation set
tied by peaceable terms and without
restoring to shut down. These con-
ditions affect the whole people. We
shall know no employer and no en-
ploye but Americans without regard
to union labor and without regard to
political differences, will do their
whole duty. 1t is our opinion that a
stronger arm than either labor or the
railways will dictate the terms of set

TEsT OE PATRIOTISM

Whether the United States has sac
rfced its patriotism, its forcefulness
and its yirllity may be determined now
within the next few weeks. We are
standing at the edge of an emergency,
and may at any moment be precipi-
tated into trouble with the republic on
the south of us. The Justification on
our part of that trouble does not enter
into this question of the patriotism of
The country, but the threatened rail
way strike puts the question directly
up to us.
Railway workers have made certain
demands upon the companies, and
they have been unable to agree upon a
settlement At a time when there
seems to be a need for the transporta-
ton of soldiers TO Mexico. and when
there must be vast stores of war mu
nitions and food transferred south
there are threatenings of the greatest
labor strike the country has ever had
1t is almost unbelievable that the
railways and the laboTers should fai
10 reach some conclusions that would
result in at least a temporary settle
ment, but in case they do, public sen
timent will have been made against
labor that would set the cause bach
for many years, and the government
would become so disgusted with it:

QUEEN MOTHER IN GRIEF
OVER kiTcHENER'S DEATH

London. June 27.-(Correspondence
of tho Associated Press Perhaps
none outside his immediate family was
more grief-stricken at the news OF
Lord Kitchener's tragic death than
Queen Alexandria. The attentlVehess
of the soldier TO the Queen Mother
had long been notable, and there was
very strong bond OF sympathy be-
tween the two, undoubtedly two OF the
loneliest figures prominent in contem-
porary London.
Indeed there was something patheuc
in the lonely bachelorhood of the war
secretary, who occasionally to his IN
timates dropped remarks bearing on
his lack of home and near relations
Not a week passed during the war IN
which he has not paid visit to MARI
borough House, where he would re
main for long visits with Queen Alex
andra, and come away with a long lst
of those combatants of whom her
friends had made special inquiries
However pressing the demands of the
campaigns on the various fronts, he
would ALWAYS return within few days
with the desired information.
Lord Kitchener had promised to be
the Queen Mothers guest during the
coming summer at Sandringham. He
constantly had ladies to lunch at his
seat in Kent, Broome Hall, near Can
terbury, on Sundays, and would show
them how he was developing his gar
dens and dilate to them on the beau
ties of his china Younger women were
conspicuous by their absence at these
times, the guests being chiefly peer
esses and experts on gardening as
well as the wives OF men who had
served under him in various cam
paigns.
At York House, st. James Palace,
he gave a number of dinner parties to
men only, the military element being
not always conspicuous at times. He
liked doctors. though cared nothing for
actors or musicians. Several of the
higher clergy in London enjoyed his
friendship and hospitality.
Lord Kitchener was personally
known to the owners of many of the
more expensive curiosity shops I'm
London He would bargain over pur-
chases, but did not possess the com
mercial sense, and in the end would
always pay good price, usually on his
own initiative. The dealer generally
received a check the day after de-
livery, the check oeing quite often
post-dated a month or two.

New Russian Offensive.

To those VINO are closely ooeei'
ing the strategy and the cooperative
action of the entente allies there is
much significance in the new drive on
a 25O-mile front just launched by the
Russians in the eastern theater of war.
The successes reported to have been
won in the first stages of the move
ment indicate the strength and fresh
resources of the Russian army as well
as the comparative weakness of the
Austian The forces of the latter along
this line extending northward from
the Roumanian frontier, are estimated
at 600 900 men or more, but apparently
much stronger resistance will be
needed to check the furious Russian
attack. a'@s's
Russian offensive on the eastern
front is said to have been expected
bv the Vienna war office for some time,
but it is likely to have a pronounced
effect in the disruption of both Ger.
man and Austrian plans, And that,
no doubt, is the Russian purpose, The
Austrians have been concentrating
their energy upon their drive on the
Italian front, the force of which Is
bound to be relaxed if troops are with
drawn from the eastern defense. Nor
can Austria for the present hope for
any material German aid, as the Ger
mans are persistently devoting their
energy to the western front and have
no large available forces to spare.
AS to cooperative effort the imme-
diate purpose of this movement is
probably to afford at least a partial
relief to the Italians. incidentally it
might have some effect on enemy op-
erations in Macedonia, and it might
conceivabIy result in relieving the
strain at Verdun, although this latter
object is more likely to be attained a
little later through an extension of
the eastern offensive to a direct drive
against the German lines farther
north.
In any event, the Russian move
ment may be construed as another bit
of evidence of the harmonious fashion
in which the allies are working to-
gether for the achievement of a sim
gle purpose. The death of Lord Kit
chener, who is supposed to have been
on his way to Russia to act in an ad-
visory capacity in the new offensive
proceedings, may be felt as a serious
loss by the Cars military authori-
ties, but it is scarcely likely to result
in any material change in subsequent
operations.
1t may be assumed that the offensive
and defensive plans of the allies have
been carefully drawn and that there eX-
! lists mutual understanding of what is
necessary in the future conduct of
the war. AS the war continues, there
will be a more apparent significance
in these later moves in distant corners
Of the greatest chess board that the
world has ever seen. 1t may be too
soon to look for definite results on
so grand a scale. and yet there is a
chance that this Russian offensive
drive is the initial move in a concerted
tightening Offensive by the allies
