IN LIVELY AIR BATTLE
American Quartet Fights Famous Ger
man Tango Squadron.
BY w. S. FORREST.

Paris, Aug. S.-A thrilling air bat
tie in which four members of the La
fayette escadrille successfully fought
off the famous German tango squad
ron" of Baron Richhofen, was de-
scribed in reports received here today
from the front.
Lieut.. Raoul Lufberry, of New
York; Sert. Edward Parsons, OF
Springfield. Mass; Corp. Walter Low
ell, of Concord. Mass, and Corp Har-
old Willis, of Boston, comprised the
Lafayette patrol engaged in the fight
Far outnumbered the Americans ma
neuvered, dipped and kept their ma
chine guns going until finally able 70
elude the Germans. 1 Parsons and VII
lis escaped only by calling into play
all the acrobatic stunts they knew
Their final dash to safety was with
fancy spring-nose dive of thousands
of feet.
The German tango squadron" is al
ways quickly identified in the air,
owing to the unusual marking of its
machines The wings of the aero
planes are black. while the bodies and
tails are scarlet.
Eight Miles Inside German Line.
The Lafayette patrol was eight
miles in German territory when they
encountered the ''tangoers Inc Ger
mans Immediately began to close in
and then followed a half hour fight,
as lively as has been reported in
months.
Lufberry had five distinct fights
as he wheeled and Unanswered high
up in the air. Lowell and Willis each
fought off three machines, which
came charging and firing on them.
Up above the fighting field" was
Parsons. The latter was assigned to
the task of protecting the fighters in
seeing that no enemy re-inforcements
came up.
As the fight progressed. two and
finally four German monoplanes sue
ceeded in mixing in the fight. They
detoured high in the air, despite Par
sons's efforts, and for a time had the
Lafayette flyers completely cut off
from withdrawal to their own lines.
Faster Than Germans.
The real fight to avoid being
brought down or forced to alight be-
hind the German lines, then began.
Lufberry fought his way thru the
enemy and while Parsons and Willis
were doing the same thing, mixing
their shots with acrobatics, Lowell
climbed high over the Germans and
peppered them with his machine gun.
The escape of the Americans was
due 20 their coolneSs and judgment
and also to the fact that they had bet
ter machines. The Lafayette ma
chimes were much faster than the
German.

WONDERS in SURGERY
Doctor Back to Recruit Surgeons for
Service in War Hospitals.

At Atlantic Port, Aug. S.-Out of
one detail of 1850 wounded men sent
for special treatment to a London
Hospital for crushed and broken bones
1000 were able to return to active
duty at the front, according to Maj
J. E. Goldthwait, United States re-
serve army surgeon medical corps,
who arrived here today from Europe
Major Goldthwait is one of twenty
American medical officers who have
been in France and England studying
new methods of treating wounded.
He returned to recruit surgeons to
take up similar study that the Ameri-
can army may have the benefit of
the modern treatment of wounds from
its own surgeons
Major Goldthwait added that were
it not for the successful methods of
treating wounded now being practiced
1t would be better to let some of the
men die rather than allow them to
recover and continue as cripples.

HELPED CORN HERE
Eastern Kansas Benefited by Rains.
Crop Report States.

Rains totalling from an inch and a
half to three inches fell over prac-
tically all of Kansas this week, except
a few western counties, and ended the
severe drouth that prevailed for two
months previous, according to the
weather bureau crop report by s. D.
Flora today. With the rains came
cooler weather. which also helped i'm
prove the situation.
Corn was too far gone in-the west
ern portion to be benefited except for
fodder but in the eastern portion it
was helped materially, tho some of
it there was damaged beyond recovery
by the drouth and hot winds The
isfactory condition are few in the
southeast portion, which were favored
with good rains in June.
In some western counties corn is
being cut for ensilage and in few
others, where the drouth was especial
be even fodder.
Alfalfa Improved.
Grain sorghums are generally re-
ported to be in fair to good condition
and beginning to make a good growth
since the rains began.
The third cutting of alfalfa is being
put up and is very light. The moisture
from the rains will give the fourth
crop a fine start.
Threshing wheat and oats is about
finished in the southern part of the
state and at least half done in the
northeastern. The yields, especially
of oats, continue to be excellent in the
northeast counties. In the western
part of the state there is but little
threshing to be DONE
Broom corn is heading in the south
western counties and in condition to
get full benefit from the rains. Sugar
beets in the Garden City district are
reported to be doing well, tho they are
late.
The ground is generally in fine
shape for fall blowing and this work
is being pushed in all except the few
counties where the ground is still dry.
From Over Country.
Washington, Aug. 8-Corn has been
seriously affected by previous dry
weather and high temperatures in
western Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas.
During this week, however. the cordi-
ton was greatly improved by general
rains in northern Texas, over most of
Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, South
Dakota, Iowa and Missouri. Some dis
tricts need rain to a moderate extent
in the Ohio Valley. High tempera-
lures in most of the corn states were
made good advance and is tasseling
north of the lake region.
Harvesting winter wheat, oats rye
barley and haying and cultivating are
making excellent progress. Spring
wheat has been prema turely ripened
in the extreme north by previous high
temperatures and has been greatly af
fected by the dry weather in the west
ern DakOtaS and westward.
