CAPT. BOELKE s CAREER AS AN AIRMAN
Famous German Aviator Who Brought Down Fy Hostile Aeropanes Before Meeting Death in the Service-Dra- matic Incidents and Interesting Features.

Berlin. Dec. 1S.--(By Wireless to Sayville). Replete with dramatic in- cidents and interesting features are the reports just published of the late Captain Boelke. the famous German aviator, who brought down forty hos tile aeroplanes during his service with the army. which ended with his death on October 29 last. As summarized by the Overseas News Agency. these reports from the field include the fol- lowing:
 Shortly after the opening of the war, on October 27, 1914, Boelke re- ported that on a reconnoiter1ng trip over Rheims he had observed nine batteries, one of which was in close proximity to the cathedral. On July s, 1915, Boelke reported: The superiority of the German n1a- chimes is becoming more apparent. Today I had the impression that the enemy was no longer offering resist ance but that he had nearly given up hope of escape. Shortly before the downfall of the hostile machine the observer made a typical movement with his hand as if to say Why let us go on; we are done for and sur- render.
 The reports show that in the ma jority of the air engagements the dis tance between the combatants usually was about 100 metres. but often only
 
 2. 1915. Boelkei made bold to approach French aviator as close as three metres. 'sHe fled" says Boelke's re- port, but it didn't help him for I was much quicker. I fired 500 shots, keep ing up the fire until he began to fall. had approached up to distance of three metres and still he hadn't be- gun to come down. At the moment when a collision seemed inevitable. l turned my machine rapidly on it's left H. +rrr- 1nTe rsr rJ1 down on the right hand. I did not see him any more.''
 Many times hostile machines made seemingly incredible efforts to escape the much-feared German aviator, the hostile airman apparently designing at least to save his own life, the re- ports indicate. On March 4. 1916 l Boelke reported:
 Again I approached the enemy l who had already been violently fired

LOSSES OF FRENCH
 AND BRITISH ARMIES.
Overseas News Agency Gives Former
 as $500, 1000, Latter as 1,300,o0o.

Berlin, Dec. IS (Via Wireless to Say ville).-Tne losses of the French army to date have been ,sso0,oo0 and of the British 100000. according to "compe- tent military authority" says an Over seas News agency statement today.
 The same authority says the French losses on the Somme up to the end of November are estimated at not less than 250,000, and those of the British at 550,00. The statement says:
 The total French losses since the beginning of the war have been 3,860,- 900. and the, British losses 1900, 900, or altogether 5,100,000. These figures are based on most reliable data. They do not include the losses of the colored troops of both the French and British armies, but as these eolored auxiliary possible in great attacks, the total of French and British losses probably is several hundred thousand higher.
 Tn the engagements on the Somme, since July 1, 40 French and British divisions have been employed. These were drawn from all parts of the front from the ocean to Switzerland. The majority of these divisions, after short rests, returned twice or even three or four times to the front.
 "The French losses on the Somme up to the end of November are esti- mated as at least 2oO,O00 and the British at 550,000 men. Thus the total of French and British losses on the Somme are conservatively estimated as at least S00,000 men. They therefore exceed considerably the German losses as established by Germany's enemies at 690,000 men. As a matter or fact, the German losses were much less than 800 ,000. At the same time it must be taken into consideration that about 76 per cent. of all the German wound ed, after a short time, are able to re- turn to the front thanks to the ex- cellent medical care they receive and the high standing of German surgery"

PETITION OF HENRY FORD HAS BEEN DENIED
For Dismissal of Temporary Injunction
 Restraining Development Work.

Detroit, Mich, Dec 1s-Three cir cult judges today denied the petition of Henry Ford for dismissal of the temporary injunction which restraints the Ford Motor Company from develop ing work. IT.. injunction granted for sixty days was obtained recently by John F. Dodge and Horace E. Rodge, motor car manufa and stock holders in the Ford company. The Dodge brothers are seeking a perman = ent injunction to compel Ford to use the profits of his company for divi- dends instead of developing lhis busi- ness.
 Ford's attorneys argued today that contracts for the construction of large smelting plant neaE Detroit were let some time ago and that the Ford Motor Car Company would lose large amount of money unless the work could be resumed immediately.
 Ford offered to give bond to reim- purse the Dodge brothers for any loss they, as stockholders, might sustain should he be permanently restrained from carrying out his smelter pro- ject. The offer was not approved.
 The court also denied a motion by Ford's attorneys that the Dodge brothers furnish a bond of $3,0O0,O 900 to insure the Ford Motor Car Company against loss as a result of perman- ent injunction proceedings.

DISTRICT OF cOLUMBIA,S
 PROHIBITION BILL DEBATED
In Senate-Proponents Believe They Have Sufficient Votes to Carry 1t.

Washington, Dec. 1S.-Senator Un- derwood's amendment to the District Of Columbia prohib ibition. bill providing for a referendum to the citizens of the District, was debated at length today by the senate without reaching a vote. Proponents of the referendum believe they have sufficient votes to carry it through by a close margin. A vote may be had tomorrow.
 Before debate began on the referen- dunn, the senate rejected by a decided majority Senator Shoots substitute forbidding the sale, manufacture or importation of liquor for personal use. While the District measure was under discussion on the floor, the ju- dietary committee called a special meeting for Thursday to vote on re- porting the joint resolution proposing a constitutional amendment forbidding throughout the United States the man. ufacture or sale of any kind of alco- holic. malt or spirituous liquors Friends of the proposed amendment say it can be brought out of committee if majority will attend the meeting. A house committee already has favor aby reported such resolution.
 Senator Underwood occupied most of the time today defending the referen- dunn. He declared he belfved it within the power of congress to pass law whose operation would be dependent on approval or disapproval by the people of the District and that the supreme court has indicated in analogous cas- es that this would not be considered delegation of the legislative function of congress. Senator BoTah, Senator Sutherland and several others were in- clined to question this view The Ala

RELIEVE HEADACHES
 WITHOUT DOSING
BY APPLYING SLOAN'S LlNIMENT TO FOREHEAD YOU GAN STOP
 THE SEVERE PAINS.

Many headaches are of a neuralgia origin. The symptoms of such head aches are intense and lingering pains in the brow, temples or back of the head. .'s
 There is one certain relief that has been known and recommended for years back, Sloan's Eminent. One application and the dull pain is prac- tically gone. It is easily applied with out rubbing. Rubbing is unnecessary, as Sloan's Liniment quickly penetrates to the seat of trouble.
 A h n muscles, rheumatism, bruises, lumbago, chilblains, sprains and stiff neck can also be most effec- lively treated with S1oan's Liniment. Cleaner than mussy p1asters or oint- ments; it does not stain the skin or clog the pores.

pEyIsING MEANS TO MEET
 THREATENED DEFICIT,
President Wilson and Cabinet Have
 Matter Under Consideration.

Washington, Dec. IS. = President Wilson and the cabinet already have begun consideration of ways to raise the revenues to meet the threatened deficit on June 30, 1918. The presi- dent let it be known today that he had reached no conclusion but in gen. eral was opposed to bond issues ex- cept to meet temporary expenditures. He probably will address congress on the subject later. In this connection the possibility of the continuance of the patrol of the Mexican border into the next fiscal year is being taken into consideration.
 To keep thesexpenses of the govern ment as low as possible, the president will carefully scrutinize all the appro- priation bills.
 In conference with Chairman Sparkman of the house rivers and harbors committee today he urged that the rivers and harbors bill now being drawn provide only for urgent neces- sary expenditures. Mir. Sparkman took to the White House a tentative bill
