GUYNEMER COCKTAIL
DETAILED BY ENVOY
Four German Birdmen Before Din

Capt. Amaury de la Grange, aviator
with the French Mission. yester-
day, told this OF a before-dinner ex-
plot of the great Guynemer, flying
god OF the French armies:
He was testing out a new plane
with a new machine gun one late
afternoon. He had just mastered the
tricks of the new machine. when he
sighted a German. He brought the
German down with a single shot. As
Is his custom after such a feat he
then looped the loop. AS he finished
the loop a second German hove in
sight. He brought that one down with
one more shot. Both machines fell
blazing on the French trenches with
In one minute.
He returned to the station and
refilled his tanks. In a few minutes
he was off again. He had hardly got
his altitude when We saw another
German machine tumbling down. And
then Guynemer disappeared over the
German lines.
I'VE felt no fear for his safety
for he was Guynemer. But after he
had disappeared we sighted a big
German Photographic plane 15,0o0 feet
directly above our aviation field. He
was too high for any of US to catch
him.
"'Ah! II Guynemer were only
here we all cried.
almost Immediately Guynemer was
there, appearing like a mystery out
of the blue sky. The German fell
directly upon our field. IT was his
fourth victim of this trial flight.
at is a very good machine, Guy
nemer said of his mount when he
came down"

NORWAY EXPECTED
TO Change POLICY
| DR.. Nansen's Proposed Visit Here
Subject of Much Speculation

A definite change in Norway's war
policy likely will take place not later
than the end of this month. when
DR.. F. Nansen. noted scientist and ex-
plorer, arrives in this country on a
special mission. While ostensibly DR.,
Nansen's visit will have to do with
regulations of shipping to neutral
countries, 1t is generally understood
that the question Of a change in Nor
ways neutrality likely will be dis
cussed.
At the Norwegian legation here, II
was declared yesterday that no def
mite date had been set for the arrival
OF DR.. Nansen, but that he was ex-
pected not later than the end of July.
Legation officials refused to comment
upon the significance of his visit In
ofhcial circles, however. IT Is declared
that the reports of a breach between
Germany and Norway being near,
nave more or less foundation in fact,
and that the visit of the special mis-
sion to this country presages a firmer
answer to the Kaiser's explanations
Of the continued sinking of Norwegian
vessels.
While admittedly the food situation
will be taken up, this is pointed to as
additional ground for believing dip
lomatic relations between the two
countries are rapidly nearing the
breaking point, as the food question

causing Norway to abandon her policy
Of neutrality.
American embargoes, forecast by
all OF the food legislation now before
Congress will hit none of the neutral
countries harder than Norway. and
with her few much-needed cargoes at
the mercy Of the submarines, she is
likely to find herself in a plight that
will make a change in policy impera-
tive.
