"Stand clear!" shouted the pilot.
Men were releasing all the ropes
of the balloons simultaneously. The
great gas spheres strained upward.
At that moment a man, hatless, coat
less, and disheveled, came running out
of the shed in which Hamiltons bal

Avery, shaking with excitement, an
swered in Louie's ear:
II don't know. 1 never saw him

me, and tied me to the bedpost. I've

Louie gripped his arm fiercely.

Leontine felt no fear as the earth
seemed to slip away beneath her. She
leaned dreamily over the edge of the
basket and watched the crowds grow
smaller, until the black sea of heads
beneath was only blur.
She fell to watching her silent COM
panion, who busted himself with his
thermometer and hygrometer. Already,
under his guidance, Avery's balloon had
taken the lead, and the rest tapered
off in struggling line, the last disap-
pearing In the mists of the horizon.
Slowly the sun dipped into the west.
The fleet of balloons had vanished in
the distance. They were high above
the clouds now, floating in a trans
parent medium of palest blue. The
gorgeous dying orb dipped on the hori-
zon.
1t disappeared In veil of redden-
Ing clouds. These faded. The stars
appeared. The moon shone, hard and
brilliant, overhead. Night fell.
Leontine was aware that her COM
panion was looking ut her.
"Are you happier7" he asked gently.
Two tears stole down Leontine's
cheeks. She could not answer him.
Again the thought of the mysterious
Ravengar came to her.
Who was this Ravengar7 And who
was this Avery?
Suddenly Leontine saw look of hor-
ror in her companions eyes. He was
looking at the bottom of the car. Leon
tine perceived a small wisp of smoke
coiling up among the basket-worx.
Instantly the man had leaped for
ward to where small fire extinguisher
hung. He snatched 1t up, inverted II,
and directed a steady stream from the
nozzle upon thS blaze. Leontine heard
a sputtering sound. The smoke dis

GREAT AIR FLEETS
FIGHT OVER LONDON

London, July 9.-The largest num-
ber of German aeroplanes that have
ever raided London dropped bombs
over the city. Twenty machines We're
seen.
English airmen went up to meet the
invaders and gave them battle over
the city. Anti-aircraft guns also open
ed fire on them, while the citizens
looked on.
Three German planes were brought
down by British machines as they
were returning to their base.
Enemy aeroplanes returning from
the raid were met forty miles off the
east coast" an admiralty statement
said 1.-TWO crashed into the sea and
third fell flaming into the Scheldt.
Our machines returned safely"
The damage and casualties from
their bombs has not yet been an
nounced, but judging from the general
alacrity with which Londoners sought
their cellars the losses probably will
be reduced over previous ones.

RESULT OF WAR ON SPIES

Washington, July 9.-An Germans
who were formerly connected either
with the German embassy or any one
of the many consulates in America
have been requested to leave the Unit
ed States Notification that their
presence in America is undesirable has
been sent to them by the state depart
ment
The Germans, who principally are
clerks or servants. were not told that
they were suspected of being spies.
The inference that their loyalty to
the kaiser might make it difficult for
them to remain in this country with
out attempting to send information of
a military character to their govern
ment was made clear.
Among the first to go will be Helm
pich Schaafhausen, formerly attached

capacities in this country-althoug
this government has no means of
knowing definitely what the exact
status of most of them is with the

Russians Making Gains.

Dispatches from Petrograd say that
the fortified forest of Sinanka and Hill
1888 have been captured The Rus
slams also have penetrated the village
OF Godov
Further gains also have been made
by the Russian forces in Galicia. Ad
vices from the front record the TAX
ing of first line trenches by troops of
the Eleventh army. which also at some
points captured second line positions.
Pinsk had a population of about 3d.
600 before the war. Ii lies within the
great marsh and swamp region of
White Russia, about on a line east
of Warsaw.
On the Franco Belgian front the
British have again made another for
ward thrust. slightly advancing their
line east of Wytchaete. in the Bel
gian district, where General Plumer
blew the Germans out of an extended
salient east of the Messines ridge last
month With the French forces there
have been only artillery fighting and
trench raiding.

defeat of Russian attacks near Ko-
niuchy and further north in Eastern
Galicia, Russian attacks in the Car
pathians also were repulsed. The
Russians are said to have suffered
heavy losses.

London. July 9-General Brusiloff
seems to have been arranging a sur
prise on the Russian front. judging
from the reports from Petrograd of
violent fighting in progress in the
Pinsk district
Apparently the Austro- German at
tention has been centered on the Ga
lican district, where Brusiloff's often
sive opened and where fighting still
is in progress.
There has been no mention in Off
cial statements recently of any es-
pecial activity anywhere along the
Russian line except in Galicia and the
sectors Immediately adjacent on the
north and south. The report from
Pinsk, $50 miles north of the Galician
border, therefore, has i'm II the element
of surprise for the world, if not for
the Germans.

Jury Wheel Idea to Be Used in
Forming New Army.
FIRST CONTINGENT $4,000
Complications in Exemption and the
Aliens Registered TO Cause Work.
Probable That so Per Cent Will
Be Rejected.


Washington, July 9.-Selection day
for the new national army is approach
ing rapidly as the local exemption
boards in the various states complete
their organization, give serial num-
bers to the registration cards and for
ward certified copies to Provost Mar
shal General Crowder Indications are
that the drawing will be held this
week, but no official statement has
been made
Administration officials still main
tain strict silence as to the method to
be followed.
With the recent statement by Sec
retary Baker that the drawing would
be held in Washington, however.
coupled with the stress laid upon the
serial numbering of registration cards,
the general outline of the plan is
clearly indicated.
Ii is understood that II is proposed
to place in a single jury wheel in
Washington one complete set OF num-
bers When a number is taken from
the wheel, the man in each registra-
ton district whose card bears that
serial number will be drafted.
Thus as each number is drawn, ap,
proximately 10000 men will be draft
ed, or one in each exemption district.
If 100000 men are to be called be-
fore the exemption boards in the first
selection, which seems highly prob
able. only forty numbers would need
TO be drawn.
Many Complications.
There are numerous complications
which must arise, however and the
method of solving them can be known
only when the administration makes
known its plans. For instance, the
number of registered individuals in
each district who are liable for mill
tary service will certainly not be the
same Aliens are registered, but not
liable for duty.
While the first contingent Of the
new army, under the bill, is limited to
500, 900 men, an additional l25,000 OIL
l50. 900 will be needed to make up the
reserve battalions of this force. Re
serve battalions are now being recruit
ed for all regular regiments and will
be recruited for the national guard
when 1t is drafted into the federal
service. The organization of the ma
tional army will be on the same basis
There is one other consideration
which will affect the total number OF
men to be drawn. Opinion varies as
to the number of exemptions which
must be made for the various causes
outlined in the exemption regulations
A rough estimate of at least so pei
cent exemptions for physical or Other
reasons has been generally employed
I'm computing the probable size of the
task before the exemption boards.
If the exemption factor is allowed
for the first drawing, however, 4
seems likely that million or a mil
lion and a half names would be pro
vided for at that time, the men tt
appear for examination in the orde
in which they were drawn.
