ROOSEVELT COMBATS
ANTT-ENGLISH SPIRIT
Says British Navy and French
Army Protect America.

OYSTER BAY. L. l., June 10
Colonel Roosevelt has taken up the
tight against individuals and organi-
cations seeking TO foster unfriendly
feeling for England in this country.
His first broadside was a denuncia-
ton OF circulation of an appeal against
lighting England's war"
Addressing a Red Cross meeting
here, the Colonel declared that 1.-THE
only reason why the war hasn't been
brought to this country rests with
England's navy and the British and
French armies.
There actually are Americans who
recently have been asking why we
fight on the same side as England,
our ancient foe" he said, Il would
like to see any man here unpatriotic
enough to say that at this time.
ANY man who hates England more
than he loves the United States
should be thrown out of the country.
"A nation must be judged by its
conduct in any crisis. An unfriendly
attitude against England il as base
and unjust as would be an individual
grudge between two men because
their grandfathers fought.
The sentiment Is that of traitor"

REVERSES HIS OPINION
AS TO INTANGIBLE TAX
Corporation Counsel Holds Utility
and Bank Stocks Exempt.

Reversing a former opinion relative
to the intangible tax, Corporation
Counsel Conrad H. syme today made
public an opinion to the effect that
the stocks of local banks. public util-
ity companies, or Incorporated COM
panies doing business in the District
or companies incorporated in other
jurisdictions doing business here and
receiving no special franchise are
not subject to taxation under the in
tangible tax law.
Corporation Counsel Syme's former
opinion was that such stocks should
be taxed, and 1t was so stated in
circulars sent by the assessor to own
ers of personal property. In view OF
the change new pamphlets will be
prepared explaining the working of
the law under the reversed ruling.

REAM FOR A DIVORCE
Former Show Girl Doesn't Omit
Plea for Some AlimOny.

PUTNAM. Conn. June ia new
| souvenir Of the romantic marriage in
Hoboken. N J.. September /. 1911, OF
Louis Marshall Ream and Eleanor
PendIeton has been deposited for safe
keeping here.
Like most OF the souvenirs Of the
incident. this one is being cared for
by a county clerk-in this instance
f. NJ. Walker. 1t Is in the shape OF
papers in a suit for divorce and all
mony brought by Mrs. Ream against
Mr.. Ream, and the millions he inner
tied from his steel fnancier father.
Norman b. Ream.
Mrs. Ream bases her demands on
the assertion that Mr.. Ream deserted
her September s, 1911. FIVE days after
the elopement.
At His Mother's Home.
The papers set forth that personal
service on Mr.. Ream was had last
Friday. He was found at the home Of
his mother. in Thompson. near this
place. by Sheriff Holbrook.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ream have not Eazed
into each others eyes over the coffee
cups or passed each other the dough-
nuts for a long time. as may be imaE-
iued. Whatever they have had to say
to one another they have said
through lawyers in court. And ii has
been a long and expensive converse
ton.
First, in January, 1912. the mar
riage was annulled. II looked then
as II the Reams were going to be per
fectIy happy apart And they were.
apparently. until the spring Of 1916.
Then, through former State Senator
Rrackett. OF Saratoga, Mrs. Ream.
who was a showgirl at the time Of
her marriage and has had parts on
the dramatic stage since, started an
action in Amsterdam. n. Y. to have
the annulment set aside.
Last October Supreme Court Jus
tice BerStein. In Amsterdam. gave a
decision putting the bonds OF matrt
mony back on the Reams. At the
same time he scathinGly denounced.
as the stories at the time put II, Mr..
Ream. and criticised certain lawyers
for their part in the annulment bust
ness.
When Mr.. Ream heard the news at
his home in Worcester, Mass, where
he is associated with the American
steel and Wire Company. he spurred
his lawyers to appeal the decision.
They did. and May 10 last the appel
late division overruled their appeal
Mrs. Ream at this time admitted.
speaking Of Mr.. Rcam. that she was
deeply in love with her career on the
stage. Mr.. Ream said nothing at all
so far as newspapers are concerned.
Meanwhile. Mrs. Ream. still young
beautiful. blonde and blue-cyed," has
started this divorce suit-not over
looking the alimony part Of there.

onstrated that the machine gun
mounted aeroplane is as deadly on

Madon, who Is one OF the crack
aces" of the French aerial service
with eight German machines to his
credit, had his battle just after bring
ing down his eighth victim.
This encounter had taken place
miles behind the German lines. In
the sharp maneuvering about his Ger

caught the latter square in the range
of his machine gun and sent him gy-
rating to the earth. Madon over
strained his motor. throwing out of
gear the rhythmic throb 50 essential
to flying.
Had Only One Chance.
Too far away from the French lines
to cut off his motor and volplane to
safety, Madon had only one chance.
This was to descend behind the en-
envy lines with the hope OF getting
his motor started properly and get
ting back into the air before the en-
envy should pounce on him.
Selecting a cleared space back OF
a forest, Madon Alighted and began
the hasty readjustment- Presently
he noticed a man approaching, star
ing at him curiously. As the indi-
dividual was not in uniform, and as
he was far enough back OF the Ger
man lines to be in territory where
the civil population might still be, he
decided the man must be a French
peasant Calling out to him in
French, he said:
please go away quickly, my friend.
don't need your services, and your
presence might attract the Germans
Within an instant Madon was disil-
Iusioned. Turning. the man uttered
a command in German and signaled
for an advance. Instantly a German
patrol leaped to its feet. and with
rifles aimed, started to bear down on
the French aviator.
Charges Infantry Patrol.
Almost at the same instant the mo-
tor OF the aIrplane began the rhythmic
chugging that indicated it was again
operating properly. Madon leaped to
his seat. loosened his brakes, ad-
justed his machine gun. and charged
at ever-increasing speed on the ad-
vancing infantry patrol.
The latter opened fire with their
rifles as Madon's machine gun caught
them in its deadly sweep. The Ger
mans went down as though moved
by a cycle. not over three or four re-
naming standing or kneeling.
Madon Increased the speed OF his
engine and then bore down on the
fed remaining Germans Whether
they fell before the wings of the
aeroplane struck them. or were now
ed down by the machine gun, Madon
does not know. He knows that he
swept over them. and an instant aft
