OFF TANGLo SQUADRON.

ed and Fight Began.

Paris, August s, An air fight In
which four members of the LAFAYETTE
escadrille succeeded in beating of the
famous "tanglo squadron" of the Bar
on Richifier was described in reports
received here today from the front.
Lieutenant Raoul Luffbery of New
York, Sergeant -. PARSONS of Spring
field, Massachusetts, Corporal Walter
Lovall of Concord, Massachusetts,, and
Howard Willis of Boston comprised
the Lafayette men who were engaged
in the fight.
Although the German planes out
numbered the Americans, the Ameri-
cans, succeeded in swinging around
and lodging them and were successful
in the fight against the ranglo squad
ron"
The Americans did all the aerobatic
stunts that they knew in the fight and
one real and last stunt which spelled
victory for them was called a face
nose spring.
The way the Americans handled
their machines and because they could
handle theirs better than the Geramns
was another reason for their victory
The German "tanglo squadron" is
almost always known in the air the
moment 1t is first sighted, owing to
the unusual markings of its machines.
The wings OF the aeroplanes are black
while the body and tail are of scar
let. $50
The Lafayette flyers were eight
miles ins the German territory when
they Rrst spied a German plane. Then
the German planes began to close in
on them and then the first real fight
between the two countries took place.
And it is one of the most terrific fights
that has taken place and been report
ed in months.
Lufberry had five distinct fights
while flying in the air. Lowell succeed
ed in bringing down one of the Ger
man machines which had been SO fur
iously firing upon him.
Above all of the fighters was Par
sons. That was the place to which he
was assigned and his ddty was to see
that no enemy re-inforcements was
brought into action. After the fight
had been going on for some time
three German monoplanes were
brought into the fight.
For time after the monoplanes
were first brought into action the La
Fayette machines were cut off from
their lines which permitted them to
return to their own lines if they
sought.
Lufberry then few high into the air
above the other machines and center
ed his machine to such a position that
he mixed his shots with his acrobatic
stunts and then finally peppered the
Germans with his machine gun fire.

FOUR AMERICANS
AMONG THE LOST
VICTIMS OF THE BELGIAN PRINCE
WHICH WAS SUNK.
STORIES OF UTMOST CRUELTY
Men On Deck of Submarine and
After Sailing Two Miles
II Submerges.

London, Aug. S.-Four Americans
were among the thirty-eight members
of the steamship Belgian Prince which
was destroyed by submarine, it was
learned today. One American who
was aboard the vessel was saved.
Survivors of the Belgian Prince
told story of the cruelty of the Ger
mans to them after they had lost their
vessel. The submarine commander
it was stated ordered them on the
deck of the submarine and then de-
stroyed their lifeboats and their life
belts and then after sailing for about
two miles they submerged and they
were thrown into the sea.
1t is presumed that all of the Amer.
leans were drowned when the sub
marine submerged with the Belgian
Princes crew on her deck. Affidav-
it's covering the deaths of the Ameri.
can sailors have not as yet been re.
ceived. There were only three sur,
vivors from the Belgian Prince, the
American negro Swell, the first and
the second engineers.

GERMAN spy PLOT REVEALED
II Comes About in Argentina by the
Miscarriage of a Letter. Falls in
Government Hands.

Buenos Aires, August 8.-An extern
sive German spy plot as a result of
which snip sailings and other things
has been revealed and discovered it
was officially announced today. The
revelation or the disclosing of the
plot came through the miscarriage of
a letter intended for the head of the
espionage organization which fell into
the hands of the chief department of
the Argentina government An investi-
gatiorr of the letter it is understood to
have revealed further evidences of the
espionage system.
Police are stationed about the city
but as yet there have been no arrests
made as it is thought that the Argen'
tina government cannot punish the
men with any penalty which applies to
such an act. But it is thought likely
that the government will plan some
means of dealing with the spies.

IN REGULAR LINE
GENERAL cRowoER NOW BUsL
DRAFTING REGULATIONS
TO COMPLETE ORGANIZATION
Wherever Possible Men Will Be Al.
lowed to Choose Line They Pre-
fer. Regular Army Nearly
Filled. 1000 Needed.

Washington, d. c., Aug. 8.-Provost
Marshal General Crowder and his as
sistants are at work on the final set
of regulations to be promulgated this
week to complete the organization of
the selective draft war army. They
will govern actual mobilization of the
men selected.
Statements issued by the war de-
partment show that preliminary fig
ures place the total force of national
guard taken into the federal service
Aug. S at 1908 officers and 4l9,S34
men. Another statement showed that
1SO,766 war volunteers have been re-
cruited for the regular service since
April 1, leaving only about 1000 va
cancies in the regulars at war strength
These figures mean that approx
mately 725.000 men are now under
arms exclusive of the navy and marine
corps, to be supplemented within the
next few weeks by 687 900 raised un
der the selective draft bill. OF the lat
ter number about 100000 will compose
the third great element of the wal
army, the national army, and the re
mainder will go to fill up the regulars
and the guard and their reserves.
The mobilization regulations vii
show how the drafted men are to be
assigned. Already the war department
has received countless application:
for men certain to be called in the frs
increment of the draft forces for as
signment to some particular branch O
the service. Where man has beer
summoned by his local board Tor phys
ical examination, no method exist
whereby he may enlist in the regular
and have his service count on tn
home quota. 1t is probable, however
that some effort will be made to NEE
the wishes of the drafted men in thi
regard, as far as possible when the,
are mobilized. 1t can only be done Z
a limited extent as the regulars an
guards, as shown by today's statemen
: are practically filled up now.
