PARIS, July 17.-How Lieut.. William
Thaw Of the Lafayette Escadrille put
the finishing touches to a desperate
aerial fight is told in communication
just received from the headquarters of

counter with a German airplane more
than 10000 feet above the ground. The
American closed with the boche, both
fighting like fiends.
Sweeping below the German machine,
Thaw killed the mechanician, and then
man9uvred for position to get the pilot.
The boche was so terrified that he dived.
Thaw followed until he was within 200
feet of the ground and gave the finishing
touch TO the pilot.
This is one of Thaw's typical stunts
Fe is fast coming to be known as the

Three Ways to Insure
Tobacco for Soldiers

TT MAY be your son, your
brother or your friend who is
called into the army through Sc
lective draft. Wouldn't you want
to see him happy? Wouldn't you
give much if you could spare him
worry? Why not do it for some
one else's son, brother or friend?
The Government is able to look
after every material comfort ex-
cept tobacco. Get in with the
army that has subscribed to THE
SUMS Tobacco Fund so that
smokes may be in France ahead
of these soldiers, that we may
have a surplus on hand before
the boys of our National Guard
go abroad.
There are many ways open to
you. For example, you may go
to the Winter Garden next Sun
day night to see what vaudeville
manager has called a million
dollar BILL" the stars of every
theatrical branch.
Or you may deposit your Mu-
tual coupons in the boxes in the
Schultz cigar stores. Do not
leave them on the counter; drop
them in the receptacles provided.
Each certificate means two cents
worth of smokes for our soldiers.
Or you may subscribe directly
to THE SUN fund. Better still,
you might do all three things.
The cause is worthy Of it. To do
the work properly-and 1t must
be generous or else it will be
complete failure-an immense
amount of money is needed.
The fund employs no agents or
solicitors. The story of the fund
