COPPERS ARE COPIED
Two City Policemen Arrested by Their
Brother at Gage Park.

Verne Welch and Curly Porter,
two motorcycle policemen who have
made dozens of arrests. with pleasure,
were arrested Thursday night at Gage
park by the park policeman and they
had to do lot of explaining to get
away. They had three men friends
with them and the whole bunch was
in bad for half an hour
Harvey Parsons, chief, and bad
tire on the police car, were respon-
sible for the whole thing.
The motorcycle cops We're swim
ming in the lake with their three
friends. Parsons was driving near the
park on Sixth avenue when a tire on
the car blew out He is handler with
a sfx-shooter than he is with a tire
iron and was about all in when some
one who recognized him drove by. He
drove on to the park and told WEIGH
and Porter about the chiefs troubles.
One of their friends had a "fliv-
ver'' handy and the five, in their
bathing suits. streaming with water,
cranked up the Henry and drove to
the chiefs rescue They fixed his tire
and drove back to the park All ex-
cept the drivers were riding on the
running boards to keep from soaking
the cushions The park policemen
thought the whole bunch was trying
to arnuse the crowd at the park and
figured that while their costumes
were all right in the lake they were
too scanty to make a parade in. He
arrested all five. But they explained
and fixed it up without having the pa
troll wagon called.

CHAPMAN A HERO
American Flyer Killed While
on Errand of Mercy.
Dropped Two German Machines
Before He Fell.

Paris, June 30.-It was while on an
errand of mercy for wounded COM
rade that Corporal Victor Chapman of
New York. member of Franco
American aviation corps, met his
death last week. Captain Goelke the
most famous of all German aviators,
who up to that time had accounted for
eighteen aeroplanes, sent Chapman to
his death. But before he fell the
American brought down two German
machines.
These details are disclosed in a
semi official statement given out to-
day, which also announced rewards
and promotions for other America
aviators for their present accomplish
ments All members of the American
squadron but two have been now dec
grated or promoted.
Sergeant Clyde Valsley of San An
tonic, Texas, wounded in a fight near
Verdun ano probably crippled for
life, Is in a hospital a few miles from
the aviation camp to which Corporal
Chapman was alta The sergeant
asked for an orange, but there wa S
none to be had at the hospital. Cor
poral Chapman heard of the incident
and decided to crafty the desire of his
comrade- He obtained a small bas-
ket OF oranges and setf orth in his
aeroplane for the hospital
Aided French Pilots.
Whlie on his way he saw several
black spots against the sky in the di-
rectlon OF the German lines. He flew
toward them and discovered that
three French aeroplanes were engaged
with four German machines The
New Yorker dashed into the fight. He
rose to great height and swoopins
down on the Germans put his machine
gun into action. His bullets found the
mark and two German machines fell
to the earth.
Chapman sent them down almost as
soon as he entered the combat, Their
Captain Goelke turned on the Ameri.
can and caught him at such an angle
that he was able to rake the aeroplarse
with machine gun fire. One bullet
struck a vital spot and Chapman
plunged lifeless to the ground. He fell

Mayor Mitchell of New York does
well in throwing cold water on the
suggestion of the organization of a
regiment of volunteer troops for SER
vice in Mexico to be composed exclu-
sively OF New York citizens of Ger
man birth. There must be no sugges-
ton of the hyphen in an American
military undertaking, no matter how
honorable a part it would play. This
suggestion is fine and concrete testi-
mony of the patriotism of our citizens
of German birth not only in New York
City but throughout the country. And
no sane person has ever doubted but
our citizens of German birth, or the
great mass of them, are as patriotic
as are any other class of citizens. But
the time has come and to stay when
We should forget the land of our birth
or where our fathers or grandfathers
may be born. or. at least, in the mat
ter of connecting it up in any way with
our Americanism.

WHAT is A PATRIOT:

What is a patriot? asks the Ameri-
can Boy. Are there any alive today, or
were they a species of creature which
existed at the time of the Revolution,
OF of the Civil war? "A patriot" says
the dictionary. lis one who loves his
country and zealously guards it's well
fare" We think such men and boys
still exist. Let us see what is neces-
sary to be a patriot. First. he must
love his country. The word is not like.
nor be moderately fond of it, but love.
Second. he must guard its welfare.
This does not say he must let some
body else guard it's welfare, but he
must do it himself. He must not say,
Let the other fellow fight" but 81
will fight" Guarding its welfare does
not consist in fighting alone. for there
are not always invasions to repel. 1t
consists also in guarding its civil well
fare. in being a good. law-abiding citi-
zen. who attends to his duties as a
citizen. You guard your country's
welfare when you go on election day
and vote for the man you think will
best serve il. You guard your coun-
try's welfare when you refrain your
self from doing an act contrary to its
desire. Now, thirdly. how must you
guard it? jealousy. That means
with all your heart and soul and
strength; not lazily. not indifferently
but with all the strength and will pow.
er that is in you. If these things are
true of you, then you are a patriot
Nothing short of it will answer.

Mexican officials claimed that Juan
Moreno, the guard, was riding with
another customs guard along the Mex
lean side of the river in the perform
ance of his duty when the Americans
opened fire without warning. The
story, as told by the survivor, placed
the number of Americans at eight.
Considera BILE indignation was express

not discuss the incident.

The military supplies lost in the
Carrizal fight arrived in JuareZ from

No finer compliment could be paid
to the general intelligence and sober
sense of the American people than the
treatment they are according these
DAVIS to the Mexicans in their midst,
and especially in this part of the coun-
try and through the southwest, where
the Mexican Immigrant is more or less
numerous. What would be the plight
of a similar number of Americans who
might be scattered through Mexico at
this time. and solely dependent on
Mexicans for the work necessary to
sustain themselves and their families,
as the Mexicans in this country are
dependent in this important particu-
lar on Americans?

Carranza is evidently as anxious TO

President Wilson is. This is Indicated
by the release by the Chihuahua
authorities of the captive troopers Oh

there anyone who believes that the

that the day of American intervention
