A DUEL IN THE AIR

at a most alarming speed. ! signed to him 70
get the gun ready, and when looked round
again there were two more coming up on
either side (anothcr Fokker and biplane OF
some sort). They climbed at the most ex-
traordnary speed and were soon way up
above me. knew | was in for It then, as
their game is always to drive on you from
above, keeping up running fire all the time.
But moment later was rather relieved TO
note that the one Fokker was making for the
other Is. +. ahead of me. Then the fun
began. Pop-pop-pop-pop-popw went the Huns
machine gun behind me, zip-zip-zip came the
bullets through my planes, and crash-crash-
crash went my own machine gun in reply.
This lasted for what seemed an eternity TO
me, but in reality was probably only few
seconds. Anyway, my observer only fired 40
shots at the nearest Fokker when he sud
denly turned dived earthwards and disap-
peared-I hope hit, but do not know for GER
tain. Meanwhile the Hun biplane continued
to attack, and was fairly pouring bullets into
my machine, and getting as many in return,
and then my machine gun damned. thought
it was all up then, but my observer had the
gun off the mounting in no time and changed
il for the one off the front mounting. Mean
while | was lodging and twisting and side
slipping and doing STUNTS" that I'd never
dream of in saner moments 10 put him of
his aim But the bullets kept coming
through all the same, and one of them broke
my aileron control wire, 50 that | had no
lateral control Of the machine at all. But
managed to keep her level (more or less)
with the rudder. Then, to add TO my Joy,
the other Fokker abandoned my friend and
came for me. But meanwhile my new gun
was in position and got to work and just as
the second Fokkcr came up the biplane
cleared off think he had used up all his
ammunition.
The second Fokker was good shot, too,
but felt much happier, as it was then just
one TO one though | was handicapped with
a crippled machine We fired 81 rounds at
this second Fokker, and then he cleared off
home-having apparently had enough OF it.
After that still had the anti-aircraft guns to
contend with, but they were a mild advent
ure by comparison. II was like flying into
Paradise to get back on our side again, or so
thought until | discovered that the ground
was all covered up with low-lying clouds
ahead of me. However, I could see enough
directly underneath TO pick my direction. SO
noted the course by compass and carried

An Angora Appreciation.
.itor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: | must tell you my appreciation oil
your editorial on Cats" read II to my cat
and she said that out Of gratitude she would
Ike to send you an Angora kitten, the finest
of her family. She also would like to put
her arms-paws, she pleans around that edi
torial pen and give it good hug, though II
might shock the conventions OF fellnity. Yes
to be sure, she catches bird at times, but
then, birds have wings, and she has not, and
il is just cruel OF them to put such an or
astrological specimen OF temptation in her
way. Turn Mr. Forbush loose on the hogs
in shape of men and grant the eats the i'm
munity that they deserve.

The Deutschland.
New York, Aug. 8, 1916.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: As Mr.. H. B. Hetherington truthfully
states in to-day's issue of The Tribune, in re-
gard TO the German merchant submarine
Imagination has no place in legal matters
The United States government took the same
stand. so the Deutschland was inspected in
every nook and corner She was recognized
as an ordinary merchant ship engaged in
peaceful trade, since the most warlike instru-
ment that could be found on board was a
pistol. This fact ought to settle once and
for all any doubts as 70 her status.
The Lusitana was of more warlike char
acter than this craft. for if she did not carry
actual offensive ornaments she did carry
ammunition and implements of war.

Sir: Until a short time ago ] did 10Y
realize that the New York Public Library y
school where race hatred is taught, but u
seems TO be so.
There is a book in the Libraries, enutlea
"The Unspeskabie Scot" that runs the
Scotch down 20 the ground There is prae'
tically nothing that Scotchman will not do'
according to this book, and It's presence ID

New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1916-08-09
Mr.. Wilson'S Little War"

Mr. Hughes does well to lay stress on
:he fallacy OF the "hc kept US out of war
argument by which Democrats seek to
cover oil the weakness Of the Presidents
Mexican course. As the Republican candi-
date truly said IN his Detroit speech, we
have not been kept out Of war. Vera Cruz
was war. Carrizal was war; The fact
that neither Mexico nor the United States
formally declared war does not alter the
fact that war was made.
If tho Democrats would only say, as the
facts disclose, "He has only got US into a
little war" or, The Vera Cruz cam
paign cost only nineteen American lives,
so it was almost negligible as war;" their
position would be logical. On that basis
they might be able TO make some explana-
ton of the devious twists of the Admin
istration's Mexican policy. They might
be able to make the voters understand
why we went to Vera Cruz and why, hav-
ing gone there and occupied the city at
the cost of American lives, we later scut-
tied away. They might have some way to
account for the ow-you-see-it-now-yo you
don't embargo on shipments of arms and
ammunition into Mexico. Possibly even
they could make clear Mr.. Wilson's unac-
countable leaning toward Villa, the thief,
bandit, murderer of Americans, whom,
even after the Columbus affair and the
punitive expedition which hasn't punished,
Senator Lewis, perhaps as the Administra-
tons spokesman, says this country ought
10 have made President of Mexico.
1t is not due TO Mr.. Wilson's acts or to
his Administrations policy that the Mex
lean war was not vastly bigger than it has
thus far proved TO be. 1t is due merely
TO Mexico's inability TO match herself
against this country. Mexicans have no
more relished the Presidents patronizing
talk of Serving humanity" there than
they have his utterly unwarrantable in
reference with their domestic politics and
his two invasions of their territory If he
had been trying to provoke warfare, If
he had been seeking to produce war as a
town bully seeks a fight with smaller
lDQlNlOudl, his ADMINISTRATOR NOliNNNO
toward Mexico need have differed no whit
from what it has been. And a bigger,
boodicr war than the battle of Vera Cruz
and the subsequent border raids and
guerilla fighting would inevitably have re-
suted-if Mexico had only had money and
sufficient arms and ammunition to resent
the Wilson Administration course.
The flag was not saluted. Carranza did
not withdraw from Office when he was told
TO. Villa has not yet been punished. The
National Guard is down at the border for
an indefinite stay-but too late to save
the American lives taken at Columbus.
This is not war-war on the scale of
Armageddon. IL is merely a miserable,
petty war brought about by weakness and
ignorance, by incompetence and blunder-
ing. 1t is, as Mr.. Hughes aptly put it,
"a very ignoble war" of which this coun-
try may never feel anything but shame
and regret. 1t may be such little war
that the Democrats and Mr.. Wilson be-
leve that the voters will forget the facts
and overlook it.
But it is war. Mr.. Wilson has made
war on Mexico and all talk of keeping us
out of war" is moonshine.

DRINK SOUR MILK IN
WARM WEATHER

Many people have prejudice
against sour milk. Nevertheless dur
ing the past few years it has come in
to great popularity in the United
States. This has been largely due to
the influence of Professor Metchnikoff
of the Pasteur Institute in Paris,
whose death was recently announced,
says DIR. M. p. Ravenel of the depart
ment of preventive medicine of the
University of Missouri.
Metehinkoff made many studies on
the prolongation of life, and came to
the conclusion that one great cause
of death was decomposition of food
in the intestinal tract and the ABSORB
ton of the poisonous products. 1t is
known fact that many nations of
the world, especially of Western Asia
and Eastern Europe, look upon sour
milk as an essential part Of their
daily diet. Among the Bulgarians,
who use sour milk habitually, an UNI
usual number Of old people is found.
Metchinkoff believed that this was due
to the large amount of sour milk used
and showed that by introducing the
sour milk bacteria in milk the bac-
terra which is found normally in the
intestinal tract could be driven out
and replaced by those given.
Tablets containing the acid form
ing germ Of sour milk dried in some
inert medium are for sale on the
market, and have achieved a great
success. They are used now by ply
sicians largely in the treatment of in
testinal disorders in infants.
Sour milk, whether butter milk,
SKINNED milk or whole milk, has much
to recommend it. 1t is a nutritious
and wholesome diet for any time of
year, but is especially good during
the summer months 1t often produces
markedly good effects in old people
who suffer from intestinal Indigestion.
