let me suggest also what the aerial
dreadnought OF the future will be.
An airship with a frame of steel or
aluminium alloy, with wings of alum

plosiyes; large engines in front and
rear running four propellers each,
two on each side of the cabin, the

the ability TO move very slowly so as
to almost hover over given spot, or
to fly 100 miles or more an hour.
'Aeroplanes as now constructed are
of great use in the army for scouting
and making observations, and will
work revolution in modern warfare.
But when flying machines are perfect
ed, as | have suggested, there will be
little use for armies, as they could
soon be annihilated from the air with
out any mode of self-defense, and
about the only sure bombproof shelter
would be Goa! mine, where the army
would be of no use.'

SOFT COAL MAY
 BE BOUGHT FOR USE IN SCHOOLS
Board of Education Head Announces Opening Date :,
 is September 10.

President Elmer Havens of the board of education announced today that the public schools of the city will open Monday, Sept. 10. This an- nouncement includes the High school.
 In deciding the date it was neces- sary to take into consideration the mobilization of the first contingent of the national army. As Wednesday, Sept. 5. was selected for mobilization, it was deemed unwise to open the schools the day before, dismiss them for the fifth and resume for the two remaining days of the week. The opening therefore has been definitely fixed for the 10th.
 The Parochial schools will open the same day.
 Regarding the coal situation and its effect on the schools, President Ravens stated today that dealers were being canvassed in an effort to determine how much of the nearly 5000 tons of coal necessary for the sch ools, may be obtained. No dealers wi offer the city a price and all have refused to contract for delivery of he whole supply.
 "If the worst comes" said MT. Ha- vens today, i've will have to burn soft coal. Of course this will cause objection from the people near the schools and from the janitors, be- cause it is dirty, but the school ses- sions must go on and rooms have to be heated. However, you can be sure that the board is making every effort within reason to have such a condi- ton avoided. and it will be, if such 8 thing is possib1e.''

POSSE SECURING WOODLAND FOR. YOUTH WHO CHLOROFORMED AND

MiChaelis To
 Favor Pope s Peace Terms

Copenhagen, Aug. 21-At the meeting of the main committee of the Reichstag called for today Chan cellor Michaelis was expected to de- clare the pope's peace note in gen. eral accord with the German govern ment's peace proposal of Dec. 12. 1916, and the recent reichstag reso- lution on the same subject, and thete- fore to be sympathetica1ly received in Germany. Germany cannot, however, discuss details, and particularly un- der no conditions can it enter a dis cussion of the status of Alsace-Lor- raine as a part of the German em- pire.r The chancellor, according to this forecast, will say that as Ger many has earlier indicated it's desire to make peace, the first word must come from the other side.
 A meeting of the bundesrath com 'mfttee on foreign affairs had been called for yesterday in Berlin under the chairmanship of. the Bavarian premier, Count Hertling, to discuss the situation created by the pope's note and to approve the lines of Chan cellor Michaelis' speech to the reich stag corsmittee today.

CANADIANS HuRL BACK ENEMY IN DESPERATE HAND TO HAND
 FIGHT ON OUTSKIRTS OF LENS
AMERICAN TROOPS NOW HOLDING LINES AGAINST FRENCH ATTACKS
 IN SPIRITED SHAM MANEUvERS


 American Training Camp in France. Aug. 21-(by the A. P.)-Training in some of the American battalions has progressed to such point that sham attacks on the trench systems are car ried out in a spirit akin to actual warfare. So far artillery fire has been only theoretical, but before long the troops expect to have the experience of watching the effect of real artillery on the trenches.
 The marines are having some es- pecially lively engagements this week with their French instructors. French chasseurs, acting as the enemy, have been making attacks on the marines trench system, with Dewey, Farragut. Porter and Sampson trenches as the battle >objectives.
 The French also have been attempt ing to block and hold communication trenches known as Ohio, Mississippi, Delaware and Potomac. It will be seen that the marines trench nornen- clature is based on the naval heroes and rivers of the United States. 'A The marines have been making stout resistance and wherever the enemy penetrated their lines they organized a counter attack which quickly eject ed the intrtlders. The real object of these preliminary attacks is to get tho officers and men acquainted with what are known at the front as operation

orders. It is the first step toward learning the rudiments of a highly or ganized part of modern warfare. where every step and every detail is worked out in advance on pre-arranged plan and must be strictly adhered to.
 One great difference from real war fare, however, is the fact that in bat ties with marines the enemy has ac- comm odatingly allowed a copy of his operation orders to fall into the hands of the defending garrison. This will be changed later, and the American trench garrison will be called. upon to resist surprise attacks in force.
 Another valuable feature in battle exercises is teaching the Americans the great importance of what is known as liaison work-the mainte- nance of communication with SUD- porting artillery, with ,fanking forces with aeroplanes and with information centers. Attacks are accompanied by a lively rocket display as S. O. S. signals are sent up for defending the curtain of fire from the artillery and calling reserves from companies in support of the trenches. The rockets also are used in the guise of artillery fire by shortening and lengthening ranges. The evacuation of wounded under a theoretical shell fire is another feature of sham battles which is receiving attention.

Both Armies Launch Surprise Attack Simul- taneously - Germans, Making Last Stand on Parapet of o W n Trenches, Are Routed After 15 Minutes of Fighting.

London, Aug. 21-Canadian troops around Lens launched another attack on the western environs of thesmining city at 4:3O o'clock this morning, re- ports the Reuter- correspondent from the British headquarters in France. The attack develop ed into one of the most desper- ate hand to hand battles of the war.
 When the Canadians went over the top they saw masses of grey figures advancing to- ward them in the thick haze. Both sides had planned the at tack at the same moment.
 Fifteen minutes after the clash came the Germans were making their last stand on the -parapet of their trench. They then retreated rapidly.

FUR. WORKER IS kNIFED TO DEATH
 AFTER QUARREL
Fellow Employe in Factory Goes Home For Knife to
 Commit Deed.

Danbury, Aug. 21-Abde1lah Khou- gen, employed as a fur worker in the factory of the American Hatters' & Furriers' Co.,, was stabbed to death this morning while at work in the factory by John Chingos, a fellow employe.
 The men, it is said, quarrelled over a division of skins on which they were to work. Chingos says that Khougen struck him and that fear ing he might be further injured, Chingos left the factory and went to his room in a house just across the street. There he secured a knife that he had formerly used when employ ed in a meat packing house in Omaha, and returned to the room where Khougen was at work, and plunged the weapon into Khougen's throat. Khougen died almost instantly.
 Chingos was arrested within IS minutes. He was hiding under a bed in nearby house. Fellow country men of the dead man were much aroused over the killing and but for the police they would have seized Chingos. Three other men, Thomas Papajohn, Khrist Trokay and Frian- dopholus Constantine, are held by the police as material witnesses.

WARS EXPENSE SHOULD BE PAID BY M0NEYED MEN La Toilette Urges Senate To Take Burden Off
 Poor Man. SCORES RAISING OF
 MONEY BY BONDS Favors Higher Income and War Profits Tax
 Rates.

Washington, Aug. 21-Conscription of wealth to pay for the war was urged in the senate today by Senator LaFollette of Wisconsin, in present. ing the minority plans of the finance war tax bill on war profits and in comes. He suggested increasing the $2,006, 100000 bill to more than $3,- 500,O00,000 by such increases with elimination of consumption taxes. He also urged that less bonds and more taxes be authorized.
 The Wisconsin senator declared large bond issues increase the pres .ent high cost of living, which he as- serted, already imposes a to 100 per cent. war burden on the masses. The Liberty 1oan,- he said, was made possible by 'tan iron hand within a kid glove" and persistent advertising methods.
 The pending bill. MT. LaFollette said, provides by taxes but IT per cent. of this years war expenses. The expenses, he predicted, may reach $3O,00O,000 1000 or $40,000,00o,OO0, and he urged that huge war prohts and incomes of wealthy persons by higher surtaxes be made to bear the burden of the war.
 Urging larger proportion of taxes the Wisconsin senator said:
 t"Wealth has never yet sacrificed It. self on the altar of patriotism in any war, On the contrary it has always been quick to take advantage of op- portunities that war brings. That has been true of every war we have had, it is certainly true of the present war
 ssTt may he argued that the poor equally, with the rich will have the op- portunity to purchase war bonds. It is small comfort to have the oppor- tunity to purchase war bonds if you have little or no money to invest in bonds The late Liberty loan is a good example of bonds sold to the poor or those of limited means All the machinery of the government was set in motion to sell these bonds to the small investor r
 f.tyve all know that these bonds were a poor investment to the man of small means in comparison with the advan- tages which the owners of large in- comes could secure from investing millions of their taxable incomes in these non-taxab1e bonds. The govern ment has made them the equivalent of an investment paying from 5 to g per cent, and more, to persons with large incomes, who will escape the in- come tax on every dollar thus invest ed, while to the wage eaTner and the man with, a salary so small as not to be reached by the income tax, who pinched and saved and sacrificed in order to purchase them they return but a meagre 1-2 per cent.

UNCALLANT MAN FILINGS MODEL
 FROM HIS AUTO That's Why She is Forced to Seek Her Fare Back to
 New York. NOT so, SAYS MAN WHO GAVE HER RIDE Says He Pail For Her Room But She Had Only 40
 Gents Left.

She was a tall striking blonde girl of 23 years possessing an esthetic face and figure tending to corroborate the assertion she later made that she was an artists model. She entered the charities department with a difhdent, abashed air and seemed on the verge
 Carefully placing a 'harem skirt she took seat in Supt. Angus Thorn's office and in tremendous tones volunteered the information that she was Madeline Langdon" and lived at "540 West 133d street, She wanted to obtain the cost of her fare back to dear "Old Broadway" the mecca of regular fellows and gen. erous men.
 Asked how she came to be stranded in Bridgeport Madeline heaved a heavy sigh, drew a silk violet scented handkerchief delicately across her saucer eyes and related the events which led to her seeking refuge at a State street hotel, and her fare home.
 She had spent yesterday posing for an artist and early ia the evening left home to enjoy the alIuring lights of Broadway. About 7:30 in Longacre square she met gentleman whom she thought she knew, with a. large touring car. but could not recall his name. The number of the car was "26194" and is owned by Samuel Yudkin, proprietor of the Ansonia garage. 403 Main street, Ansonia.
 After exchanging greetings with the man at the wheel she was invited to go for a. ride and accepted. They stopped at an inn on the Grand Con- course and were joined by a young man supposed to be Nathan Cohen, the son of a wealthy Ansonia real es- tate dealer. After partaking of a light lunch they started for Bridge sort.
 Tn this city she states she. was driven about until 4 o'clock this morning. At this juncture of the story the young woman's eyes flashed indignantly and her hand cIutched a fastly pulsating heart, as she asserted sha was thrown out of the automo- bile, having resented the advances o1 one of the party.
 s"I had but s2 in my pocket and So went to a hotel in State street and hired room'' The room cost $1.5O, reducing Madeline's bankroll to 50 cents. This morning she purchased
  the Charities Department with 40 cents.
 Supt. Thorn extracted from his jeans $1.35 for a New York ticket Madeline. trembling, clutched it. rose with beatif1c smile and remarkine something about men, ungallant and closer than adhesive plaster trippe6 out of the building on her way back to New York.
 Maybe she was romancing Samue Yudkin. says she was and that she hal no regard for. the truth. He denie: she was put out of the auto. Samue says he is a good fellow and treated the young woman with the .mos consideration.
 "I paid for room at the hotel fol her and gave her the cost of her fart back to New York" protests Yud kin.
 But he failed to explain how she came to have only 40 cents when she struck the Charities Department thi, morning.
