horns mailbox to look for mail. and
as they were at the mailbox a neigh
boris son came past driving "A Ford
at a rapid rate. Schermerhorn, who
was also driving a Ford, shouted to
the boy as he went past, Il can go
that fast" He started down the road
after the other car, following il for
several miles without overtaking IL.
About four miles from Britton he
lost control of the car and ii struck a
ditch at the side of the road, hurting
the occupants out of il and complete
ly demolishing the ear. A woman
who saw the accident from a distance

OWLS IN VICIOUS
ATTACKS ON WOMEN
Policemen and Firemen Try In Vain TO
Catch Enraged Birds.

Winchester, Va-Citizens OF a mum
Der of Shenandoah valley towns have
been injured by warlike owls, thought
to be mother birds seeking their young,
which had either fallen from their
nests or were trying to fly too soon.
For some years a large number OF
owls have had their homes In hollow
trees I'm the Episcopal churchyard at
Shepherdstown, but this year they
moved across the street. After leav-
ing the precincts of the church they
developed into quarrelsome rowdies,
and now every one who passes the
spot is armed with a club for protec-
ton.
A few nights ago a party of women
was boldly attacked by one of the
birds. The owl flew at Mrs. Edward
l.. Reinhardt, scratched her face and
neck with it's beak and talons and re-
turned for the second attack. Mrs.
Reinhardt was rescued by friends, who
beat off the owl.
The same night an owl attacked Mrs.
NJ. L. Harrington, and a little later one
Of the birds swooped down on Charles
Il. Walters, who fought off the bird
and fed In dismay. Similar trouble
has been experienced at H~arrisonburg,
Va, where a number of owls have
nests In tall trees surrounding the
home of John I. Harris, a lawyer.
Mrs. Harris and several of her
friends were set upon by the owls, and
others who were passing were also at
tackled. Policemen and firemen tried
In vain to catch the birds.

WILL SOON REPAIR ALL
SEIZED MERCHANT SHIPS
President Has Formally Conveyed
Title OF German Vessels In
United States Ports.

Observation-Disclosures of the
German merchant ships seized in
American ports at the outbreak of war
were turned over by President Wilson
to the shipping board for operation.
The other fourteen already are in pos
session Of the navy department.
Title to the vessels was vested in
the president In a resolution passed
by congress in May. Many of them
already have been repaired and put
into service by the shipping board,
which proceeded unotficially without
awaiting executive order giving 1t for
NAL jurisdiction.
The total tonnage OF the eighty-seyen
ships exceeds 100000. Several have
gone to the war department for trans
ports, but IL has not been decided def
initely whether they are 10 remain
under control of the department or re-
vert to the shipping board. The presi-
dents order nominally puts all under
the boards control.
The ships retained for commercial
service viii be put for the most part
into transatlantic runs, though several
to be brought from Manila to the Pa
cifc coast for repairs may be kept in
the Pacific. Those at Honolulu, too,
may remain In the Pacific to move the
great amount OF freight awaiting ship
ment along the coast to V~ladivostok.
The shipping board has announced
no general policy concerning operation
Of the German ships or OF the fleet the
government Is building. but 1t is I'M
derstood vessels will be chartered for
single trips. This plan was pursued
by the board In chartering the first
ships repaired to the French and Ital-
ian governments for transportation of
food and coal. The board, it Is said,
has no intention of operating ships
directly and thus competing with pri-
vate shipping concerns.
Virtually all of the ships o o will
be repaired and In service.

VICTORY IN THE AIR
Ten Thousand Planes Would De.
moralize German Army.
AIRSHIPS EYES OF TROOPS.

Americans Make Best Aviators In
World-Commsnd of Air Means Best
Defense Yet Found Against Subma-
rines-United States Has Big Chance
to Win War.
Washington. Aeroplanes are the
eyes Of an army. Without aeroplanes
the guns cannot see where to fire, the
soldiers where to go. Without aero
planes the enemies forces and the dis
tribution thereof, their reserves and
their supplies, their lines of communi-
cation and their railroads are alike
unknown. Consequently, without aero
planes VI troops will fight in dark
ness, as blind men would fight. They
viii be.killed in darkness, as blind men
would be killed, says Porter Emerson
Browne Of the Vigilantes.
1t is no more fair to ask soldiers to
go and fight without aeroplanes
than 1t would be to send them out
without guns, or ammunition, or food,
or shoes, or hospitals, or surgeons.
Aeroplanes have become perhaps the
most important part OF the equipment
Of an army today. This France and
England and Germany alike have rec
ognized. If the United States should
fail to recognize this, 1t will pay dear
" In men, IN blood and in defeat for
its ignorance and Its obstinacy.
And this Is not all. AS aeroplanes
are the eyes of an army, so are they
becoming, with every tick OF the clock,
to mean more.
England may still control the seas
But for this control Germany is max
ing her and all her allies pay a bitter
price. Like IL or like 1t not, we must
admit that so far the German subma-
rine In It's sphere Is supreme. Checked
II can be. but 1t cannot as yet be
scotched.
On land armies can be locked for
months, even for years. A stunning
preponderance of heavy artillery may
mean a mile or so advance. But every
mile of such advance means months OF
preparation and the careful boarding
of munitions.
On one frontier, and N frontier
alone, is Germany unprotected, open
and vulnerable. That is the air.
And Il Is to this frontier that the
United States, struggling into war un
ready and unequipped, should turn its
face.
For, as scouting a%eroplanes have be
come the eyes OF an army, so have
bombing and machine gun plane,
grown to be the weapons with which
1t can reach a foe protected by de
lenses on land and sea. The air alone
is the u%nguarded element, And Ii viii
not be unguarded long.
Soldiers and guns and supplies viii
be long I'm reaching our allies. Blu
a%eroplanes and aviators WI car sent
them, and swiftly, and American,
make the best aviators In the world.
1t is possible and more than posi-
BILE that victory on land and sea lie:
with victory In the air. The command
of the air means hat we see while
the Germans become blind. 1t means
the best defense yet found against the
depredations of the submarines. And
developed to It's possible limits, |
cal a great, new weapon that lie
to our hands ready to use. Ten thou
sand aeroplanes, properly manned ant
equipped. would insure the utter de
moralization of the Germans on tn,
western front.

CONDITIONS UNCERTAIN


New York, July 30.-Dun's bust
ness review for the past week says
The slowing down of business, Gus
tomary with the approach of mid
summer is accumulated by the uncer-
tainties engendered by international
conditions and less strength appears
in prices. Reaction from the extreme
levels has occurred. not only in sea-
sonable foodstuffs, but also in other
commodities in which there had
seemed no end to the advances such
as pig iron and belief hat the crest
are used in furnishing the menus
at last been passed is spreading.
The requirements of the govern
ment are both extensive and varied,
involving greater expenditures than
had been thought likely, and most

cerned with the problem Of maintain
ing outputs than with the question
of securing additional contracts from
regular buyers.
