BATTLE IN AIR
BETWEEN PLANES
Realistic Description of Vic
tory of Allied Plane
Over a German.


London, Eng, March 29.-Writins
, from the front somewhere in France.
a soldier tells OF an aerOplane battle in
which one Of the machines of the allies
Vanquished a German machine which
had been dropping bombs on the allies.
His story is graphic. 1t follows:
Ihis morning the air was full OF
German planes. j saw one flying over
head at a great height. Gun after gun
picked IL w. followed IL across the SKY
with the deadly puff balls. and then
gave II up to the tender mercies Of the
next battery as it passed out of range.
The Boone flew on quite undisturbed.
making for the town about three miles
back from here
Ready for Air Battle.
Then I saw that one Of our big
fighting planes had arisen and, flying
low over the trees, was hurrying i'm my
direction as s. If trying 10 get as far away
from the German as possible. SO II
seemed for the moment, and then I saw
he was getting well behind the enemy
and would rise TO his height to attack
him on the return journey.
The BOche plane turned in a leis-
urely sort Of way and started for home.
Ideal Flying Weather.
This morning was ideal for flying,
the air calm and very clear. with her"
and there a heavy cloud floating slowly
across. but not threatening rain, and
everything seemed to point for safe
return for the invader. He came to-
wards me down wind at a great pace,
making an almost impossible target for
our Arches" Gas the anti aircraft guns
are always called). They seemed TO
realize this, and hardly a shot followed
him as he sped across the sky. He
passed over my head and made away
for home. skirting along the edge Of
large, dark cloud that stretched away
towards the horizon.
The Attack.
II glanced up again and. as / looked
the plane made a sudden sWerve away
from the cloud bank and a larger and
darker form seemed to spring out OF
the shadow Just as you have often seen
a hunting spider dart out of its hiding
place and seize some wretched insect.
1t was the fighting plane L had seen
rising some time before.
Almost before one could realize
what was happening, the machine guns
were firing and the German was plan
ing madly doWnwards for his life.
The victim Falls,
AT first I thought il was merely
ruse to help him shake off his big OPP
ponent, but the vOl-plane was turned
into a spiral, and ] knew that some
thing was wrong For a few seconds
he came down steadily and then seemed
to lose all control The radius Of the
spirals got less and less, and the de-
scent more steep till the plane was
pitching headlong downwards. whirling
round and round as it fell, like a
dancing Dervish dropping through
space.
The Foe aNnished.
In amongst the wonderfully varied
mixture Of the noises Of the front
which at first seem so strange. but
which one quickly comes to disregard
there came a new sound, a crash which
might possibly have meant the falling
of a shell some distance away.
Il looked up again at the spot where
the short duel had taken place, but the
sky seemed empty, absolutely innocent
Of 'planssi Ny spider Of the air had
slipped back TO his hiding place again"

Iected as the street. The recommends
tiOn was offered by John N. Wyatt
To illuminate Highway.
Mr. Wyatt stated that James g.. Nc

i'm the matter of raising a fund for
the illumination Of the new interna-
tionai highway and the erection Of
building that would meet all the re-
quiremeuts Of a municipal auditorium
The matter Of subscriptions for this

stated at the meeting Of the directors
that a number of citizens had expressed
a willingness TO donate $500 to $3.50

Fear Hard Civil War.
Washington, D. c., March 29-Should
president Yuan Shi Kai and the rebel
Chinese governors who have demanded
his immediate retirement fail to come
TO terms, officials here believe the re-
suit would be a long and destructive
civil war in China. It is known that
Yuan has provided himself with a nu-
merous and formidable army. according
to Chinese standards. which would
probably be loyal to him so long as he
was willing to draw upon his large
sources Of revenue for their pay.
Yuan May Retire.
Neither the state department nor the
Chinese legation has received any Of
fetal advices concerning the events in
Pekin since Yuan's mandate TenOunc-
ing the throne Press reports from
Shanghai that Tang Shao vi, the first
premier Of the republic had urged the
president TO relinQuish his office to vice
president Ii Yuen Heng, have been
read with interest however. and some
officials think Yuan viii be inclined to
heed advice from such a source.
Though Tang was driven out OF the
Chinese ministry as consequence of
the resentment Of the European powers
of his conclusion secretly Of a loan with
a private banking house while negOti-
ations were pending for an interna-
tional six power group loan. his close
personal relations with Yuan were UNI
impaired
Lii Yuen Strong Republican.
Tang has been a consistent republic
can and the same is true of Ii Yuen
Heng, the vice president. who became
seriously embroiled with Yuan through
his cooperation with the radical ele-
ments which resisted the monarchial
idea in its incipiency.
The wife OF DR.. Wellington Koo. the
Chinese minister here. is the daughter
of Ii Nuen Heng, but it is said that this
connection counts for little in China
where the wifes identity is completely
absorbed into her husbands family.
