LUFBERRY DOWNS
TWELFTH AIRPLANE
Premier American Aviator
Would Have Raised Record
With More Ammunition
LOWELL LIKEWISE ACTIVE
PARIS. Sent. G

PARIS. Sept G.
Lieutenant Eaoul Lufberry, premier
ACE of the Lafayette escadrille, brought
down his twelfth German plane Tuesday
and would have made his score thirteen that
same day If he had not run out of ammu-
milton.
Word from the camp Of the American
flyers today brought the details Of the
American boys seven flights in two days.
On Monday he downed an enemy in stiff
brush--one of five different fights. Tues
day morning he encountered German flyer
and succeeded after long fight In shooting
the gunner dead. Then he ran out of am
munition. Sergeant Edwin c. Parsons. of
Springfield. Mass, came along and finished
the German pilot, downing the machine.
Tuesday afternoon Lufberry encountered
another adversary and riddled 1t. 1t
crashed to earth. Lusperry's own plane
was three times pierced.
Inclemency of the weather last week
forced period of idleness for the American
flyers. but clearing weather early this week
brought renewed activity. Lufberry and
Sergeant Walter Lowell, of Concord. Mass.
were in the thick Of it. Lowell fought four
battles in the air on Monday alone. This
was the same day on which Lufberry had
his five brushes in the sky. The two were
together most Of the day.
The first mix-up was against two enemy
planes. and both were driven home after
LuIDerrV HaCHlHe lldu Dteu ptE ioA"eSN
by incendiary bullets He landed with the
flaming missiles still sticking in his gear.
Lufberry next encountered single enemy
flyer and, in the whrling fight that fol-
lowed he believes he brought the German
down. French official reports have not yet
confirmed it's destruction. so Lufberry has
not yet been cited for the feat.
The third encounter was when Lowell
and Lufberry attacked q German plane
and forced the enemy to scurry back
while four rescuers were winging 10 his
aid The two Americans fought their re-
naming battles Of the day against Ger
man machines endeavoring to protect
enemy observation planes.
German aviators have been thick along
the line where the Lafayette Escadrille is
now located and the enemy apparently
has concentrated in its effort to spy out
French positions. The German planes
come in droves with re-enforcements close
behind.

SO far as could be ascertained from the

Riga when the Germans occupied the city.
Next to Riga, the public's interest cen

the Government was in full possession Of
all details OF the plot.

CHARMING PRIMA DONNA
IN NEW MUSICAL PLAY.

After an absence of two seasons
from the stage, Christie Macdonald,
one of the best liked OPERA prima
donnas in light opera, is making her
temperance in a new musical play
written for her by authors of i'm
~portance.
1t is called "The Little Missus,"
and for it A. E. Thomas. author of
"Come Out of the Kitchen" 1.-THE
Rainbow" and Her Husbands Wife,"
has written the book and lyrics, and
Paul Eisler, associate conductor of
the Metropolitan Grand Opera Com
pany, of New York, and composer of
two highly successful comic operas,
has written the musical score.
The story is straight comedy, and
with its musical accompaniment an
attempt has been made to offer an
American opera bouffee after the
style of the joyous and artistic music
plays which only died about two de-
cades ago because no two writers of
story and music could be combined
to successfully produce them. The
piece is highly modern in present
form and also modern to an extreme
in its story which has the flavor of
continental Europe Court flavor.
For the cast, which has necessarily
been made up of players with both
dramatic and vocal ability, Miss Mac
Donald has in her support several of
well remembered reputation, among
these being George Leon Moore, Ray
Atwell, Edwin l.. Wilson, Miss Alice
Hills, Miss Sylvia Thorne, Miss Isa-
bel Vernon, and Master Cuscoden
Blackwood, but two of the principal
roles have been given to Frank Brad
ley, who has been brought back from
England, where he had long been
principal comedian in the noted
George Edwardes productions; and
Miss Paulina French, an American
singer for the last four years engage
ed for grand opera, and the foremost
dramatic productions abroad.
In keeping with the desired tone
of the piece the chorus members, each
of whom plays an individual part,
are trained singers, and the organi-
cation carries~with it an orchestra of
exceptional size under the direction of
John McGhie.
Christie Macdonald will be heard
in "The Little Missus" at the Apollo
Theatre this Friday and Saturday
evenings, with a matinee on Saturday.

HUBIN GETS IN SOME
GOOD WORK FOR THE
STATE NORMAL SCHOOL.

Below is an article that appeared in
the Passaic Daily News, of Passaic,
N. j., April 18th. Hubin has made a
systematic anvas of all papers in
South Jersey for their support in as
sisting Pleasantville to get the State
Normal School.
Hubin is Aiding Fight for Normal
School at Pleasantville.
Frank Hubin, who years ago resided
with his parents in this city, decided
to see the world when he was a boy.
He joined a circus and went on the
road. His ambitions aroused the cir
Gus manager and Frank was made the
advance man. He followed this life
until he was offered the management
of a theater at Pleasantville, a suburb
of Atlantic City. Friends here will
be pleased to note that he is one of the
towns boosters and active member OF
the Chamber of Commerce. In his &C.
tivity in the normal school fight in his
home town, Mr.. Hubin has the backing
of the leading citizens of the town,
He has helped many charitable organ
izations during the year by the loan
of his theater known as Hubin's The
alter.
At present Atlantic City, Atlantic
County and other cities, towns and
boroughs of South Jersey are forced
to send their young teachers to Tren-
ton and other normal schools for train
ing. When State officials recognized
as they did the need of a new normal
school their idea was predicated upon
placing the school in such a section OF
the State as to reach those who al
present are placed under heavy ex-
pense of both time and money to reach
Trenton. By establishment of a new
normal school in Pleasantville, the
southern section will be served and the
district from Camden and vicinity vii.
find that there is room for their nor
NAL school scholars in the Trenton
school.
Mr.. Hubin is we'll known by the ole
time residents of Passaic. He was
always known as an ambitious boy
His parents resided here for a number
of years.
