their formation was entirely broken
up. Meantime Lieut.. A got beneath
the nearest machine and fired an en-
tire drum OF cartridges into il NJ
fifteen yards. The hostile machine
collapsed and crashed. That is a
supreme word in the lexicon Of the
flying corps. A machine may fan. or

Casualty .....-.
After seeing his particular enemy
crash" Lieut.. A drew off to think
things over. He WIS somewhat amaE-
ed to see still more hostile machines
coming up in formation. But he dash
ed at the leader of the newcomers
and sent him in a spiral nose dive to
crash. This led to still more COM
plications and the intrepid little pilot
soon found himself engaged with three
machines His fight with these was
indecisiFe.
Forced TO Eeturn
Fer, says the official record,
having expended all his ammunition,
Lieut. 4 set off for home"
A few days later. is related, he took
running dive into formation OF
twenty hostile machines with all the
self assurance an eagle might have
In the midst of a flock of sparrows.
Before he was through he had sent
three adyersaries crashing.
This time" says the record, rhe
returned to one of our aerodromes for
more ammunition and returned to the
scene where he engaged and dispers-
ed such enemy machines as remained
in the vicinity. One was seen to crash
upon a housetop." b
This same little Lieutenant A seems
to persist in the records Of the service.
One day he was crossing the enemy
lines at II 500 feet when he found
himself directly above German kite
balloon, sent up for artillery obserVa-
ton. Pretending to be in trouble, and
thus avoiding fire from the anti-air-
craft guns, he fell in side-falls to
1900 feet, suddenly righted himself
and dived at the balloon. He opened
and continued firing until he almost
touched tho big gas bag. Just as he
passed over it, the thing burst into
flames and was destroyed in a few
seconds.
Germans Use Strategy T..
The Germans lately have adopted the
ruse of "staliing" and shamming fall
out of control 1t is thrilling, but not
uncommon thing TO see German
machine, when closely pressed, turn
its tail straight up in the air and dive
toward the earth for distance Of two
or three thousand feet, and just as the
initiated onlooker wcnld expect
crash 1t flattens out and starts pell-
nell for its own lines. One does not
always get away with this bit OF
aerial strategys however. as is shown
by the record Of Cant b. After attack
ing three hostile machines, he saw
one CT them going down ina spinning
nose dive. He suspected the honesty
OF that dive and decided to do a little
diving ION his own" This, dramatic
downward duel continued for full five
thousand feet, until the German was
driven into spin @and seen to crash

GERMANS TO |NC|TE
REVOLT OF NEGROES?
SAY AGENTS WORKING ON
PLANS NOW.
Department of Justice Finds
Evidence of Another Plot
Hatched by TeutOns.

Birmingham, Ala, April 4.-Re-
ports that agents of the imperial Ger
man government are using Elm
Grove. negro settlement near
Greensboro, N. c., as headquarters
for campaign to incite Southern ne
groes against the government of the
United States today were confirmed
by local federal agents. The alleged
activities, according to the officials
here, have extended to the tobacco
and cotton belts Of Georgia, Alabama,
the Carolinas and parts OF Florida.
These efforts, however, have met
with little sympathy among the ne
groes, who have pledged themselves
In large numbers to support the pres
fdent and render whatever service
they could to the nation in case cf
war.
The alleged work Of Germans in
the South is believed by the federal
agents to be closely allied to the re-
cent exodus from the cotton belt to
Northern industrial centers of large
bodies of negro laborers.
Rumors have reached here that
farmers in some agricultural dis
tricts have formed Ku Klux Klans to
meet possible uprising or disaffection
but these have not been confirmed by
federal authorities here.
Government agents declared today
that information reaching them led
to the belief that in the event war
with Germany is declared, efforts will
be made by German agents to induce
negroes to migrate to Mexico with n
view to crippling industries in tho
South which depends on negro labor.
At the United States marshals Of
fee in Jacksonville, Fla, today IL
was admitted that a close watch is
being maintained by federal officers
for possible efforts of German agents
to incite the negroes. Reports
reaching there, It was said, indicate
that such efforts have met with no
success.

New Orleans, April Federal
authorities here admitted today that

istence OF an organized German
movement to incite negroes in parts
OF Louisiana and Mississippi against
the United States government. 1t

and social equality. If the negroes

IN CHESTER MATTER
stevenson Went Interfere i'm Con-
neCtion With Nomination.

Washington, April 3.-Congress-
nan w. F. Stevenson today an
nounced that unless it should be-
come apparent that the senate would
not confirm the nomination of Post
aster Cunningham at Chester,
which has been pending for some

MAY RAISE ARMY TO
THREE MILLION MEN
TO MAKE START WITH HALF
MILLION.
Staff Officials Urge That Large
Force For Defense Be
Trained at Once.

Washington, April 4.-The definite
plans of the war department are
waiting to go forward to congress
when it is ready to receive them.
President Wilson gave clear view
OF the immediate steps to be urged
in his address, but until the depart
ment's plan has been submitted.
however, details are regarded as con-
fidential
! The first element of the plan. the
president already has disclosed. 1t is
the assembling of 100000 men under
a universal service system as an ad-
dltion to the regular army and ma
tional guard, which would provide a
total war strength force of 1,2OO,-
600.
! 1t is assumed that coincdent with
the calling out OF the new army. or
ders to recruit the regulars and
guardsmen to full strength would go
out. Whether that will be done by
! voluntary enlistment. or by draft has
not been disclosed
! Army officers believe 100000 is
the maximum number they can un-
, dertake to train at once. In a few
months, however, an additional 500
600 could be called out to be follow
ed at intervals by other similar in
crements until total army OF the
desired size has been mustered.
General stan officials have consis-
tently urged that a minimum of
100000 trained and equipped men
should be provided for national de.
tense. If that number is taken as in
Guiding the regulars and national
guard, new army more than 1000.
600 strong would be necessary.
The training of the first half mil
lion will tax the personnel and ma
chinery of the regular army to the
limit. The units of the regular
army, 1t is said, will be vitally neces.
sary to carry the work forward. For
that reason the suggestion that an
eXpeditionary force be sent to France
as symbol, met with a cold recep-
tion today among officers Of the gen,
eral stan. One officer said such a
step would be military suicide" The
only troops available would be the
regulars who could not be spared
from training work.

SEEKS TO IMPROVE
LAW ON FARM LOANS
Stevenson Gets Place on Banking and
Currency Committee.


Washington, April 4.-Congress-
man Stevenson believes that the fed
eral farm loan bank Is not in as com.
plete a condition as it may be, and for
this reason among others he asked
that he be placed on the banking and
currency committee of the house,
which was done. Mr.. Stevenson
said that he desired to go on the com.
mittee on banking and currency be-
cause his district is largely agricul-
tural and the federal farm loan bank
will have to he developed and is of
such vital interest to the farmers that
he thinks he can be of more use to
his district on that committee than
any other in the house. He is OF the
opiniop that it will require many
amendfnehts before 1t will fully ac-
complisfr' the benefceRt purpose o.

FRENCH TROOPS ARE
MAKING GOOD GAINS
REPUBLICS TROOPS SEIZED
SIX MILES.
Notable Advance Made Over
German Observation-Disclosures
Continue Their Progress.

Along a six mile front southeast
and south of ST. Quentin, the French
have made another notable gain over
the Germans. while northwest OF the
town the British have captured the
village of Metzen-Couture and there
by gained an additional step in their
plan to push forward on the north
ern flank Of st. Quentin. The French
gain was a dominating position run
ming from Gruggies. about two miles
south OF st. Quentin, through Urvil-
lers to Moy which lies in the valley
of the Disc six miles southeast of
st, Quentin. The fighting took place
during violent snow squalls and Gen.
Neville's men were successful along
the entire line. All three villages
were taken by the French troops and
in addition they captured three lines
of trenches near the Folie farm in
the same sector, from which the Ger
mans are declared to have fed in
disorder, leaving wounded, three
howitzers and much other war ma
Iterial.
After the capture OF Metz-en-Cou-
ture, the British pressed on to the
east Of the village. Here, the last
official report says, they are still en-
gagged with the Germans and also to
the north in the neighborhood OF
Havrincourt wood. BY the capture
of this wood, the British would be
dangerously near Marcoing, an i'm
portant town, the junction of the
roads running from Peronne and Ba-
paume to Cambria. To the west OF
st. Quentin German counter attacks
against the British in an endeavor to
recapture six guns taken Monday
failed, according to London.
The Berlin war Office asserts that
northeast OF Bapaume and west OF
st. Quentin heavy casualties have
been inflicted on the British and that
near Noreuil 24O British prisoners
were killed by their own machine
,gunners as they were being taken
back by the Germans. Only so OF a
total force of the 800 prisoners
reached the back German lines, says
Berlin.
In Volhynia, 35 miles northeast of
Kovel. the Germans have struck =
hard blow at the Russians. fighting
their way across the Stokhod river
and infiicting heavy casualties on tn :
Russians. Considerable booty also
fell into the hands of the Germans.

SENATE HAS ADOPTED
THE WAR RESOLUTION
PASSED BY A VOTE OF
81 TO 6.
Spirited Debate Was Heard.
Action in Senate at IL O'clock
Wednesday Night.

Washington, April 4.-The war
resolution was passed by the senate
by vote of 80 to 6. 1t goes to the
house where debate will begin to-
morrow morning at 10 O'Clock and
continue until action is taken.
Senators who cast the negative
votes were: Gronna of North Da-
kota, La Toilette of Wisconsin, Nor
ris of Nebraska. Lane of Oregon,
Stone of Missouri and Vardaman of
Mississippi
Senator McCumber's substitute to
declare the existence of a state of
war upon the sinking of another
American ship by Germany was de-
feated without a roll call.
The resolution, drafted after con-
sultation with the state department
and already accepted by the house
committee, says the state OF war
thrust upon the United States by Ger
many is formally declared and directs
the president to employ the entire
military and naval forces and the re.
sources of the government to carry
on war and bring it to a successful
termination
Action in the senate came lust af-
ter IL o'clock at the close of a debate
that had lasted continuously since 10
O'Clock this morning. The climax
was reached late in the afternoon
when Senator John Sharp Williams
denounced a speech by Senator La
Toilette as more worthy of Herr Won
Bethmann-Hollwegt than of an Ameri-
can senator.
No Outbursts From Galleries.
The passage of the resolution was
rot marked by any outburst from tho
galleries. The senator's themselves
were unusually quiet. Many Of them
answered to their names in voices
that quivered with emotion.
The galleries were filled to over
flowing and on the floor back of the
senators seats were almost half the
membership Of the house. In the
diplomatic gallery was Secretary Lam
tsing, Counsellor Polk of the state de-
partment, Minister Calderon of Bo
llivia, Minister Ekengren Of Sweden
Earlier in the evening DR.. Ritter, the
Swiss minister, in charge of German
interests in this country, had been
There.
Secretary McAdoo was on the
floor during the last few hours of the
debate.
AS the last name was called and
the clerk announced the vote, SO to
6. there was hardly a murmur of ap,
plause.
All six OF the senators who voted
against the resolution were members
OF the group Of IL which defeated
the armed neutrality bill at the last
session. There was no attempt to
flibuster this time. however, and
most of the 13 hours OF debate was
consumed by champions of the reso.
luton. OF the other six opponents
of the armed neutrality, Senators
Cummins, Kenyon, and Kirby voteu
for the resolution tonight. Senator
O'Gorman, Clapp and Works retired
to private life at the end of the last
session.
