Newton, Mass, Dec. 27.-The first d.
rect communication from Lieut.. Harold
B. Willis Of the Lafayette Escadrille
who disappeared. while flying over the
German lines Aug. IS, was received by
his parents here recently. The Red
Cross had discovered the missing avn
ator in German prison camp, but
Willis letter revealed for the first time
the story Of his capture.
"My last flight was some distance
within the lines" he wrote. "One OF
the boys in front Of me attacked and

two others, later by a third. To

Gary, Ind, Dec. 29.-Gary is one OF
the few cities In the country that can
snap Its fingers at the fuel administra-
TONS order to observe "lightless nights

because the city is unpatriotic, but
because II it does not use the electrici-
ty it has on hand to light the city, the
current will have to be dissipated in
the blue thin atmosphere.
The peculiar condition is the direct
result. moreover, of war necessity. The
government must have steel. In order
to have steel i must have coke; in or
der to have coke certain amount OF
coal must be burned and in the cokirHg
Of the coal so many by-products are
formed that it would be sheer waste
not to use everything.
When coal is coked there are $50
by products taken off. The most
worthless of these is gas and the most
valuable is benzol The gas obtained

twelve blast furnaces continuously
turning out pig iron, but also enough
to operate the cement plant. five miles
away; bridge company plant; some
big tin mills: lighting for the entire
city and to run a couple Of street car
lines.
The coke ovens also make enough
gas for all purposes-too much in fact.
for at each end of the steel mills there
is a four foot exhaust pipe which
sends a tongue of flame, four feet
thick. fifty feet into the air at all times
when the ovens are running full blast.
Hence Gary Is in no danger Of be-
coming a dark city because Of "exces-
sive use" of its light sources.

London, Dec. 1O.-The new Jewish
battalion Of the British army is now
encamped for its final training period
on a hillside in the west OF England
Early in the New Year it will leave for
the Palestine front.
The battalion Is under the command
OF Colonel j. III. Patterson. an 1rishman
and great lion hunter in East Africa
in the days before the war. His ex-
perience in command Of Jewish troops
dates back to the Galipoli campaign
where he was in charge Of the famous
Zion Mule Corps, formed In Egypt OF
Jewish refugees from Palestine. After
!. the close or the Dardanelles campaign,
the Zion corps was disbanded. but
some Of it's members managed to make
their way to England and form the
nucleus Of the new Jewish battalion.
AS at present constituted about fifty
per cent Of the Jewish battalion are
British born or naluraiized. Ine re-
mainder includes the members Of the
old Zion Mule Corps. large number
of Russian Jews,and a curious melange
from several. allied and neutral
countries. The level OF physical fitness,

JOHN o. BUYS LIBERTY BONDS.
Would Escape Income Tax by Loading

Would Escape Income Tax by Loading
Up on Tax. FREQ Bonds. IA
|. New York, Dec. 29.-John ID. Rocke-
fellcr has been heavy seller Of gilt
edged securities and large buyer OF
BIZ per cent liberty bonds. That in
formation was obtained today from an
absolutely reliable source.
After making up his mind to sell, II
was learned. the old head of the stan
card Oil Company did not stand to
consider prices. Some Of his high class
bonds were thrown on the market at
prices so low that the income rsturn
to the buyer was 6 per cent.
The effect Of John DIS selling old
line investments ara placing the pro-
ceeds in liberty 31as will be to escape
war taxes now and after peace has
been declared. The liberty 3ks are
exempt from all taxes, city, state and
government. Certainly John D. had
something to face in the way OF !.
war tax bill In England the heaviest
tax, which is on the largest incomes
is AZ per. cent. Here it is So.
John D. is generally supposed to
have billion dollars. Invested to
bring in an annual return Of per cent
al. ~. ~.
that would mean an annual income OF
$50, 0OO, 900. A tax Of 63 per cent on
$4,000, 900, with another so per cent on
81, 900, 900, calls for $31,240,000. f
Think OF having an annual tax bill
Of s31,24sO0o. John D. could not.
Hence his decision to sell and put the
money into the tax exempt government
bonds.
From the same source OF ntormFatlon
it was learned today that other very
rich men recently have followed the
lead of John D. Rockefeller in selling
old line securities and buying liberty
3ks. aaS
However, unless an investor has an
income Of more than. 100000 n year
there would be no inducement to buy
the liberty 31ss.

BIG AIRCRAFT PLANT DONE.
Million Dollar Plant Built Since
AUGUST With 1000 Men at Work.

Million Dollar Plant Built Since
August With 1000 Men at Work,
Philadelphia, Dec. 29.-Need Of 1000
skilled mechanics led to the announce
ment by the navy department Of the
completion Of the, $1,00o.0oo aircraft
factory at the Philadelphia navy yard.
The plant is in actual operation, 1t was
stated. altho ground for 1t was not
broken until last August.
The plant, it was announced, covers.
three acres. the building being 400 feet
square The structure was completed
in November, the machinery has been
Installed and the keel Of the first fly
Ing boat laid ninety days after a start
was made on the plant. The depart
ment says:
...This factory not only will produce a
portion OF the aircraft needed by the
navy, relieving other manufacturers for
army work; but Will enable the navy
to conducts experimental operations
without clogging the wheels Of pro-
duction in private plants and to ascer-
tain the cost OF airplane construction.
which will aid In the adjustment OF
prices Of airpianes."

WITHOUT TRAIN SERVICE.
Thru Trains Between Chicago ar
Terminals to 30 Taken OF.

Chicago, Dec. ss-An immediate and
radical curtailment Of passenger SER
vice in the central west was predicted
by railway men as one of the first re-
suits Of government control Of the
roads.
Figures were given regarding the
number Of thru passenger trains be-
tween Chicago and some of the
larger terminals.
Between Chicago and ST.. Louis
there are thirteen trains each way
daily.
Between Chicago and Kansas City
sixteen trains each way.
Between Chicago and Omaha nine
teen trains each way.
Between Chicago and st. Paul
Minneapolis sixteen trains 1eacf
way. asfss,Q II s&lfg
Between Chicago and Detroit thir'
teen trains each way.
This tabulation does not include
long list of locals.
Some railway men predicted thai
this number might be cut in hal
without inconvenience to the travel
ing public.

THIS WEEK or WAR
Re,;e,D Of Facts and Some Deductions Therefron,, by
a Member of the Times Republican Staff

and against that portion of the line
held by the French. Possibly Verdun
again will be the scene of the gigantic
struggle. German railroad facilities
are said to favor attack somewhere
along the Alsace-Lorraine frontier OF
Immediately in front Of Verdun, and
the Germans are not in the habit OF
overlooking important factors. The
moral effect Of a successful drive
against verdun would be great, be-
cause Gerany has sacrificed many
thousands OF men in the effort to de-
stroy or capture the fortress France
| is reported to be in better position ia
stand the strain Of q concentrated on
slaul 1T than at the time OF the two
previous terrific drives against the
nest Of forts which in the first year
of the war prevented the Germans
from reaching Paris.
I. IS believed that Germany has
transf r.ed from the Russian to the
western front the picked battalions
from among LAT divisions Of expert
enced veterans, altho there is nothing
to indicate that this transfer Of troops
L is continuing on in large numbers.
In the meantime it 10 not to be as
sumed that the allies have overlooked
the importance or the probable I'M
petus OF the new drive or have been
dilatory in making preparations to
meet emergencies. It has been init
mated that the allied forces have been
so disposed that they can be utilized
without restriction and readily moved
to any threatened point. Thus France
brunt alone as was the case in the re-
cent extended attack OF the Crown
prince's army, and, will be able, IL me-
cessity arises, to call on seasoned
Britons. who, undoubtedly will be held
in reserve.
So-called peace negotiations with
Russia are being Intentionally pro-
longed by the German ENJOYS, and are
having no effect on, the preparations
Of the allies to fight 1t out to a finish.
Nothing is expected to result from
these negotiations except the possi-
bility OF q separate peace with Rus
STA .and tits not likely German diplo-
macy would make peace with a gov
eminent 50 unstable as the bolsheviki
|,regime. With q state Of anarchy
prevalent In Petrograd and other RUS
sian cities, the Lenine- Trotzky crowd

and political crises which would con-
fuse statesmen Of man size and which
threaten the overthrow OF the vision
