the vantage point of a seat in the National House of Representatives.
 If the Guggenheims have the neces- sary influence to control a Republican administration on Alaska matters they have sufficient influence to spike Mir. Ballaine's guns in a Seattle Re- publican primary The safe way to make sure of the completion of the Alaska railroad will be to re-elect President Wilson, and that is prob ably the way the majority of the peo- pie of Seattle will look at it.
 While Seattle people are about it they should send man to Congress who will support the administration that has done more for Seattle than any other administration has ever done. The present administration has started the development of Alaska, and it is proceeding with leaps and bounds. The revival of Alaska trade is counting more for the advarNemen of Seattle than any other factor in the commercial and industrial world today. Seattle has repaid that service in the past by sending to congress a man whose friends boast that he has been a "gad-ay" to the administra- tion.

|MMElMANh, HUMAN FALCON,
"BAGGED' 10 ENEMY AEP0s
BY WILBUR s. FORREST.
United Press Staff Correspondent

LONDON, May i2.-The war has
developed the human falcon
Aerial fighters and aeronautical
experts throughout Europe today are
discussing Germany's super-hawk,
Lieutenant Immelmann.
Advices just received in England
from the vicinity of Lille, France,
and from Germany tell for the first
time the falconish methods OF the
champion Teutonic Fokker Flyer
whose total bag to date is officially
announced as fifteen allies aeroplanes.
Inmelmann's secret of offensive air
fighting is extremely simple. He
sights his qrarry-an allied aero
plane bent on reconnaissance duty
or aerial photography, somewhere
over the German lines near Lille.
The Falcon leaves the ground and
wings to a great height, an altitude
of 1900 feet or more.
When he has manouvered over
his adversary, he sets his planes and
makes one long, terrific, downward
swoop. The plan is TO pass diagonal
Nv behind his opponent at the rate
of perhaps 200 miles an hour. His
machine gun is primed and ready.
When he enters a prescribed area
the bullets begin TO fly.
Just like the falcon, that member
OF the hawk family which tries once
and strikes its prey or misses. I'M

one swoop or wings back to his
