German AIRMAN killed
THIRTY seven COUNTRYMEN

organization and thoroughness has
failed in one respect-that OF marking
on German alrmen's maps the location
OF German prison camps In France.
Thirty-seven Of his oountrymen dead
and forty-three badly wounded was the
net result Of the German aviator's re-
cent carelessness. An Official announce
ment. Just issued, gives bare facts.
Here are the details A squadron Of
German planes recently arrived over
the coastllne between Belgium and
France on a bombing expedition. One
Of the airmcn spled a group OF hut
ments and detOured above. II was a
prison camp fun Of captured Germans.
The aviators shot an aerial torpedo.
Below a column Of prisoners were
marching into camp after the days
work. The torpedo fell squarely in the
center Of the column.
The destruction OF life was heavy
though no building suffered. Hence the
French official announcements wording

Here is what the constitution says,
IN Section V, Article !.
Each house may determine the
rules Of its proceedings, punish its
members for dlsorderly behavior, and
with the concurrence OF two-thirds eX-
pei a member [.
During its history the senate has
expelled IS members, and dropped six
others from the rolls.
In every case the reason was dis
loyalty.
The constitution says further, IN
Section 3 Of the i4th amendment:

preventative In congress, who, having
previously taken an oath as mem

stitution OF the United States, shall

Procedure for expulsion OF a member
is very simple. A mere resolution by a
single member is sufficient TO start
the ball rolling. It Is not even neccs-
sary that the matter be referred TO a
committee, and the senate may act
directly and Immediately, as in the

Rachel Ford, in her last despairing
cry for pity and creduilty. sounded the
gamut Of emotion. Her wonderful
voice. caressing, passionate, imploring
seemed to beat against the silence of
her husbands refusal.
The audience clapped wildly. From
the gallery there came the shouts ac-
claiming triumph.
Rachel! Rachel!" The house took
up the cry.
Smiling little TREMENDOUSLY. she
came before the curtain and bowed re-
peatedly. She was tall, and her head
was exquisitely poised on her slender
throat.
She was not only beautiful, in the
conventional sense of the term, but
she possessed distinctive charm
which placed her above other women.
Her hair was very dark and her eyes,
set far apart, shone between her black
eyelashes with an almost topaz light.
Exhausted, fatigued. overwhelmed
by the emotional strain of her role,
with a little graceful gesture Of her
hand, she disappeared.
Lady Torrens, her face still wet
with tears that Rachel had inspired,
turned to Sir Maline and spoke to him
He did not answer.
He was staring with fanatic look
in his eyes at the stage. His hands
the almost visibly skilful hands Of The
surgeon-were clenched on his knee

until the knuckles showed like Jumps
of ivory beneath the thin skin.
He looked like man possessed, OBJ
sessed by one great idea or passion
There was something fierce, COMPEL
ing, primitive in his gaze.
II have seen that look on mans
face before-but where? where?"
Lady Torrens asked herself.
She sent her thoughts for an in
slant voyaging, but they brought back
merely a chaotic vision of overpower-
ing heat, and dusky, half lighted
temple.
She looked again at Gorde. His
eyes met hers TRANQUILITY. Had she
dreamed the image of that passion
racked face that had SO impressed
her?
He leaned toward her slightly, his
lands loosely clasped between his
knees.
Lady Torrens," he said, "are you
a devotee of the great unexpected!
Am l not woman" she replied.
Then will you come on now to
supper that | am giving in honor OF
Miss Ford?"
But I shall be charmed
Gorde's eyes narrowed little.

carelessly, pray bring them, too

following letter has been received by The

the salaries of all members and Senators
to 5000 year and cut out the 20 cent
mileage, great saving to the govern

generosity of nature in the matter OF
bestowing feet when this story was re-

Some time since two farmers were seat
ed in the corner grocery talking about
crops and the joy of serving on the grand
jury, when one of the pair chanced to
mention man who had just moved into
that locality.
