French Airmen Give Battle.

Five French aeroplanes gave battle
to the Zeppelin Saturday night. but the
German raider got away despite the
damage it sustained. During the Sat-
urday night raid twenty-four Parisians
were killed and twenty-seven injured.
The first to attack the German raider
was a machine piloted by a sergeant
who was occupied in patrolling the up
per air. He pursued with savage en-
ergy, the statement says, but soon ex-
hausted his stock of cartridges and
was obliged to abandon his pursuit.
One of two machines, which were armed
with cannon had, however, by this time
managed to climb up high enough end
opened an intense fire on the Zeppelin,
which probably was hit but not badly
damaged.
The Zeppelin was next picked up by
a sublieutenant as 1t few over the
suburbs westward. He went up to
within fifty to 100 yards of the airship
and stuck to his quarry with grim de-
termination, sometimes flying above,
sometimes below, and sometimes on a
level in order to escape the fire from
the Zeppelins machine guns. For
fifty-three minutes the chase con-
tinued, the machine guns being freely
used on both sides. until finally the
aeroplanes engine broke down and

Got Rid Of All It's Bombs.

The Matin says that it has received
information from the postmaster Of one
Of the places over which the Zeppe-
lin passed that a number of bombs
were dropped together. The inference
is drawn that the Germans, seeing
themselves threatened by French aero
planes, decided to loose all their bombs
at once.
The censors permitted foreign cor
respondents to telegraph whatever de-
tails they could obtain, but the Paris
morning papers have many blank

In a few minutes the city was plunged

GYMNASIUM AN IMPORTANT
ASSET TO THE HIGH SCHOOL

The proposed new high schoo
building will contain a gymnasium

| door track Abilene high school has
long felt the need of a gymnasium
for the adequate training of the
students. Not only for the mem
bers of the different teams is a gym
nasium necessary but the whole
student body would be benefited by
it. Every up to date high school
has regular gymnasium training for
both boys and girls which experts
declare is the very best method for
development, not only Of the natur-
ally athletic person but of those
not so well endowed physically.
Abilene has never been able to
offer this training because of the
lack Of facilities. Never have those
students not able to win a place on
the different teams received any
physical training. Our basketball
teams have been almost failures for
lack of a place to practice Abilene

ter men we mean men who have
played for the school so well before
that they have been worthy of an
orange a." These men with their
past experience and their assured
future experience since two full
teams are now out for practice
should certainly make the coming
season bowling success. Last year,
when they were raw, green mater
ial, they won several hard games,
what won't they do now, that they
are hardened veterans? Also the
scrubs who come out should be
given due credit. School spirit brings
them out to be knocked around and
this spirit is always to be cultivated
Football, more than almost any
other sport, calls forth spirit: school
spirit, class spirit, town spirit. Ev-
cry student wants his school to win
perfectly natural. Every class
wants his class to be best represent

school in his town to be victorious I
