"RATTLED" OBSERVER
THROWN FROM AiRPLANE

From a Staff Correspondent of the
Associated Press. British Headquarters
in France, May ga German aviator,
just shot down within 3he British lines,
told with amazing nonchalence how he
lost his passenger in midair. The pris-
oner is a corporal ana was plotting u
two-seater machine on reconnaissance
work. The passenger was a new lieu
tenant observer whom the pilot was
taking up for the first time.
The lieutenant was nervous from the
start and kept giving the pilot contra
dictory instructions which caused him
completely to lose his way. He sighted
several British fighting scouts. Tie
passenger became fairly frantic and
began beating the pilot on the back,
urging him to swing round in the
opposite direction. One of the British
machines opened fire and shot him
through both legs.
The pilot dived, almost vertically,
with the engine fulton. He did not flat
ten'out until within 90 feet Of the ground
and then. almost faint from his wounds,
he let his machine slip and landed with
a crash.
A search Of the wreckage revealed no
trace of the observer,
II think he must have been thrown
out" said the German pilot.
II was" said one OF the pilots cap
tors, who had seen the officer pitch
headlong to his death.

Headuuarters OF the Belgian Artillery
Established Behind the Allies Front
May 8, correspondence OF the Asso-
'ciated Press)e-Aere, where the
army Is making its own cannon, Its IN
rifles, its own shells, its own transport
wagons, its own saddles and harness,
one can appreciate how other .ontstand-5
ing features Of the war have unduly op-
secured the Belgian military effort since
the battles of 1914.
The Belgian army had six divisions
of infantry and two divisions of cavalry
left to hold a line of approximately lS
miles. or just about four men to the
yard front; a front where particular
vigilance is required. No part OF n
allies line is more closely watched ana
explored by the enemy's patrols: A
weak spot anywhere would provoke an
immediate offensive.
Belgium los all her manufacturing
establishments and all her in
raw materials in the defeat of the al
lies at Charlerois and in the retreat
from Antwerp. yet Monsieur De Bro
queville, minister of war, has built up
artillery and munitions establishments
that not only enable the Belgian army
to reply shot for shot to h Germans
on the User front. but also contribute
ITO the supplies OF the allied armies
Fourteen thousand Worknlen are am
ployed in these establishments which
are using American machine guns ana
tools.
krupps Held Up Supplies. y
The invasion found the Belgium
army in the midst of an entire reorgan-
ization of it's artillery. Siege cannon
ordered from the Krupp works in Ger
many had notsbeen furnished. Millions
Of cartridges ordered from the same
source also had been held up. 1t was
with a d~isorganized armament and IN
sufficient material that the Belgians
held the Germans in the retreat to the
User.
The Belgian army is new in nearly
! every feature. OF the 10000 men in
the field, and so, 600 men who garri-
| soned the forts, 10000 fell into the
hands of the Germans at Liege, Namur
and in the retreat; 10000 more took
| refuge in Holland and were interned;
$4,000 were lost on the User in addition
to more than 90, 900 killed and wounded
in the battles OF Liege, Haelen, st
Trond.
The reorganization was difficult. I'm
I, b to call a session of parliament to
revise recruiting laws to accord with
the new situation. the government
refugees in England and France. The
response was such as to reconstitute
an army of six divisions OF infantry
and w divisions OF cavalry, while
$4,000 men were detached for the nam
ufacture of munitions in France and
900 sent to Russia for the same pur-
pose. About 10000 more were raised by
a decree calling up all Belgians eligible
for service between Is and 40 years of
age.
A regiment OF auto cannon, recruited
among the Belgian refugees and trained
in Paris, was sent to the Russian front,
where it played an important part in
Brussiloff's offensive in Galicia and
Volhynia in the spring Of 1916.

Constant efforts have been made dur

TO
Be DEP0SED
GOSSIP SAYS

Washington. D. c., May 29.-Presi-
dent Wilson will sooner or later ave
to step in and settle the controversy
between Gen. George w. Cocktails and
Chairman Denman, of the shipping
board. This is the opinion which is
rapidly growing in Washington.
While officials do not say the presi-
dent is going to settle it, the unofficial
view is that the magnitude of the prop
osition involved in the $3.50, 100000 au-
thorization for emergency shipping is
too great and the Importance too vital
in its bearing on the outcome of the
war, to allow any clash of the sort
which has developed to interfere with
ship construction.
The fact is the shipping provision in
the war budget measure. which is about
to become law, contemplates making
Goethals head of an emergency ship
ping corporation to administer the law.
He is not specifically named, but it has
been well understood he is the man the
president depends on to carry out the
ship construction plan.
General Goethals' friends a openly
he cannot get along with Ienman, and
that he will resign unless he is given
unsparing authority. The belief here is
that the president will firmly uphold
Goethals and that if anybody goes it
will be Denman.
Washington, May 29.-Replying to
Major General Goethal's declaration
that the shipping boards wooden ship
program, entrusted to the general, is
hopeless. Chairman Denman of the
board, said there still will be need for
1000 ships.
Mr.. Denman said:
w believe hat the committees of
congress-, M not a public dinner with
the head of the steel trust are the
places to discuss matters Of policy with
reference to the shipbuilding.'
