Seven Plunge to Earth
At one time seven machines were
following each other in headlong fash
ion toward the earth.
Il was nearly Z o'clock in the even,
ing when tho British offensive patrol
sighted the eight Germans well over
their own lines. The enemy machines
fed. but were eventually oyerhauled
and brought TO combat. The com,
mandcr of the British formation dived
at the nearest German, but the latter
turned sharply beneath him and es-
caped the first burst OF hre. The com
mander then attacked another machine
lust in front Of him, pouring in many
rounds at ranges shortening from NIFTY

down 1000 yards in n spin, then turned
over and continued to fall, completely
out of control. p,

TO shake off the German, but could not
do so. and deliberately went down IN a
spin. When he fattened out he found
the German still with him, and so he
again went down in spin. The Ger
man was then attacked by a British
pilot who had followed him down and
sat on his tail, flooding his machine
with bullets until he went tumbling to
earth, swaying back and forth like II
piece Of paper in gale.
British Escape Intact
Spinning and diving, this remarkable
battle kept up until three Germans had
been shot down. The others having
fed. the British patrol reformed with
out a single casualty. One pilot VINO
brought down a machine with seven
shots from his automatic pistol already
had accounted for two other Germans,
making a record of three for the day.
One of the most remarkable escapes
from death which a pilot ever had oc-
Cured to-day While over the German
lines his machine was hit by a shell,
which tore a hole through It and ex-
ploded on the engine, wrecking II. The
pilots leg was fractured IN two places,
but he brought his machine back over
the lines 70 within five feet of the
ground, where he lost consciousness
and crashed to the earth. The machine
was so shot about that the men who
extricated the young fier had to pull
him through the hole which the shell

FOR MERCHANT MARINE

Months.

Philadelphia, May 2l.-CThe Phil
adelphia Press prints the following
story tomorrow morning in parD.
America has found the perfect
answer to the German submarine
terror. 1t has an invention by the
same man whose brain devised the
German menace. That man is Simon
Lake. The answer is merchant sub
marine standardized and simplifed so
that the first one may be turned out
within four months and others sent
out after that at the rate of three or
four week.
This momentous news, termed by
many naval and military experts the
turning point of the war, becomes
public property tonight, when it was
learned here that the Merchant subma-
rine company capitalized at $4,000
600 was chartered under the laws of
Maine in the capitol at Augusta, Me,
on May 10th. The vessels to be built
and operated by the Merchant sub

children who should be educated to
membership in the Red Cross so that
when they grow up they may not only
support it themselves financially and
morally, but their children may also
be educated to that fact Indeed it
might also be mentioned here. and it
cannot be emphasized too strongly,
that the Red Cross does not bar ad-
mission because of class, race or
creed.
Taking out membership in the
Red Cross does not entail any obiga-
ton to serve. Many hesitate to Join
the Red Cross because they believe
they will be called upon for some ser
vice 1t is true that Red Cross re-
quires a large number of volunteer
workers of all sorts, but they are vol
unteer, and no one who takes out a
membership in the Red Cross is COM
PEELED thereby to serve. However, in
joining the Red Cross there is no OBJ
legation involved, and, that is, to re-
join. The American National Red
Cross needs the continued support
both financially and morally, of as
many American citizens as it can pos
sibly secure i'll order that it may be
ready at any time to step in and
handle any emergency that may oc-
cur whether civilian or military.
Time and again people have OBJ
jected to joining the Red Cross be-
cause they said that they did not wish
their money to go to one of the for
eign countries. Let it be distinctly
understood that not one cent of the
money given for membership dues in
the Red Cross goes out of the United
States This does not mean that the
Red Cross does not raise and expend
money for relief in foreign countries,
but every cent of money or supplies
spent for foreign relief is raised es-
pecially for that purpose. Every cent
of membership dues stays in this
country part of it going into local
work, the other part going to Wash
ington to maintain and increase the
endowment fund. the income of which
is used for the administrative and exc
cutive expenses and upkeep of the
national organization. and to have the
American National Red Cross ready
at any moment to cope with military
or civilian disaster.
