LONDON, Aug. 12.-In no brancn oi the British army does personal initia- tive count more than in the flying corps. In no branch of the service has it been more encouraged. The British pilot held the German in checK by sheer inherent manpower when ma chine supremacy was undoubtedly with the Germans. Now that this su- premacy has been neutralized by the increasing effectiveness of the British aeroplane, British pilots are given greater liberty of action still, and many of them act in what might be called free lance" capacity, says British official statement.
 One of those rowing airmen was over the battle line early one morning with no other purpose than that of sending to destruction any hostile plane which he might chance to meet, when the singular scarcity of possible oppon- ents decided him to push further afield.
 German Plane Downed
 Then the German gunners concen- trated their attention on him. Clouds of anti-aircraft shrapnel festConed his course and flaming onions'-inflam- mable shells designed to set fire to an aeroplane-groaned up from below and burst in groups. But all the ef- forts of the German gunners were in vain. Now nose-diving and side-slip- ping. now soaring skyward, the Brit ish airman pirouetted his way through the poisonous flame-starred mist, and broke clear to the fresh cloudy heav- ems out of range.
 Safe past this zone of the Archies" he spied a German aviator high above him watching for chance to come down on the tair' of an unsuspecting pilot, a favorite method of attack with Hun airmen. The Briton decided to rid himself of the menace without more ado.
 Descending a thousand feet or so, he deliberately slid under a bank of clouds and there circled slowly, wait ing for the German 70 drop on him. Like a yacht driving through the spindrift of a breaking wave, the hos tile oaerOplane broke through the en- circling mist and drove straight down on his antagonist. Down went the nose of the British machine. As it held together by an invisible stay. these two giant hawks dashed earth ward. Suddenly the foremost machine swoOped upward and the famous side loop manoeuver was performed. Ere the German realized what had hap pened his intended victim had revers- ed the order of the dive and well-di- rected burst of machine gun fire sent the one-time pursuer crashing to the earth.
 Rid of his adversary the British air man ascended and flew eastward. Through the cloud patches he saw the German aerodrome which was his ob- jective. Earthward he swooped. Aerodrome Slenced
 The Germans saw him coming and frantic airmen tried to get aiSft be- fore his arrival. One left the ground but a splash of machine-gun bullets killed it's pilot and it slipped to de struction. Another made the attempt, but ere it had risen 30 feet it shared the fate of the other machines.
 A group of mechanics struggled with third plane. spray of bull lets swept over them and they strug- gled no longer
 There was a silence in that aero drome, and stiffness, and Eo living man to be seen. The British machine droned lazily up above while it's pilot rectified jammed machine gun. Then it swept over the hangars, riddling

SENATOR SMITH SUFFERS
FROM EXTREME WEATHER
Doctor Says He is i'm Rundown Con-
dition And Must Guard Health.

Washington, Aug. q Senator
John Walter Smith was not able to
attend today's session OF the Senate,
being still kept at home by the direc
ton of his physician, who has de-
manded that Senator Smith shall
take the greatest precaution during
the present eXtrmely hot weather
Few Senators have been as regular
in their attendance at the sessions of
the Senate as Mr.. Smith. In addition
to his work in the Senate, the Mary
land Senator has. during the present
extra session been kept busy by con-
stituents from Baltimore and the rest
of the State. He has been in Wash
ingtcn on many occasions when a
due regard for his own health should
have kept him at home. Mr.. Clarence
Taylor, Snator Smiths private secre-
tary, was notified today that Mr..
Smith will return to Washington in
a day or two and that there is no
serious ailment affecting him.

Timber and Wood Have
Great Value Now

Timber and wood have never been
as valuable as they are now The
large quantity of lumber required by
the Government for war purposes,
the great industrial expansions TAX
ing place in our cities, are rapidly
using up the surplus on hand and
creating local demand for saw tim
Der, railroad ties, poles, piling, and
all products derived from the forests.
Even cordwood, which heretofore
has been difficult to sell, is now sure
to be in demand this winter and
next winter.
This affords an excellent opportu
nifty for woodland owners to sell any
mature timber and to utilize defec-
tive trees or those of poor species
for cordwood. The present indica-
tions are that coal will be high in
price and difficult to get, especially
in the smaller towns, on account Of
shortage of cars
: Wood cut during August will
probably be sufficiently seasoned to
sell after January 1st. 1t is likely
that timber prices will continue
good after the war, so that wood
land owners should cut conservative
| ly now in order to have another tim
Der crop in a few years from the
small and middle-sized trees that
| have not yet reached their maximum
value.
{ State Forester F. w. Besley, Bal
| timore, Md, will advise anyone how
and what to cut for timber or for
cordwood and how to find a market
| for it, if you will write to him al
the above address.
He is now making an inspection
trip through all of the counties OF
the State, and will probably be able
to visit your place and advise you
on the ground, il requested to do so
and without charge.

WARRING FACTIONS
WILL BE UNITED
Baltimore American Says Warning
Factions in The Democratic Party
Will be United in Dorchester.

Democrats in Dorchester county
are trying to bring warning factions
together Governor Harrington con-
trolls the regular party organization
of the county, but because of disap-
pointments gowing out of distribu-
ton of patronage, an opposition of
considerable dimensions has devel
oped.
The latest effort to bring the ele-
ments together is to induce Fred. H.
Fletcher to be d candidate for the
nomination for the Senate. Governor
Harrington's friends are industrious
in urging him to enter the primaries.
At first he was not inclined TO listen
10 offers of support. but, according
to reports from the county, he is
represented as willing TO toss his
hat into the ring
The compass has been boxed by
Dorchester Democrats in agreeing
upon a candidate for the Senate.
Former Judge w. Laird Henry was
proposed. but he was not willing to
be a candidate, as he contemplates
entering the Congressional race next
year. If nominated and elected to
Congress vacancy in the Senate
would result il Judge Henry should
be elected this year. Former Sena-
tor VIM. f. Applegarth was said to
be flirting whit the nomination. He
was represented as going a-hunting
for Governor Harrington's political
scalp. Mr.. Applegarth has kicked
over the pail of anti-Harrington
Democrats in the county by agreeing
to agree with the Governor in the fu-
ture.
Harr! Mcguire, Of Madison, de-
clares he is still in the fight for the
Senatorial honor
Dorchester Republicans believe
that they have an excellent oppor-
tunity to carry their ticket at the
November election and are not let
ting any grass grow under their feet.
Former Governor Goldsborough, who
now lives in Baltimore, is sorely
missed in the county, where for
many years he was Republican lead
er. w. N. Andrews, former mem
ber Of the House, is a candidate for
nomination for the Senate. Former
Congressman Josiah Leeds Kerr is
also being urged to be a candidate
for the Senate.-Baltimo American

WHAT THEY THINK OF
HIM IN HIS HOME
Cumberland Evening Times Pays
Rare Tribute to State Comptroller
Hugh Nj. McNIulIen.

| That the people of Allegany coun-
ty think highly of State Comptroller
| McMullen is clearly demonstrated by
the following editorial, reprinted
from the issue of the Cumberland
| Evening Times of Aug. 1st:
The announcement that Hugh A.
McMullen will again be a candidate
| for Comptroller of the Treasury of
this State has undoubtedly been re-
ceived with a good deal of satisfac-
ton by citizens in every section Of
Maryland. That Mr.. McMullen has
made an excellent State officer and
has conducted the affairs of this i'm
! portant position with impartiality,
industry and high capability, there is
an abundance Of testimony from citi-
zens regardless of political affiliation.
Mr.. McMullen carried to the office
of State Comptroller the experience
| and practice of a careful business
man with scrupulous notions of pub
lie duty. He has been guided in the
performance of his public duties by
| the same ideals that marked him as
| a private citizen. This is undoubt-
edly the reason why representatives
! of his party, and citizens not affili-
ated with his party, insisted that he
| reconsider his decision to retire
from office at the end of his term.
1t is not an easy thing for a man
of Mr.. McMullen's habits and prac-
| tees to revise a decision once delib-
erately made. In finally acceding to
the request of the Democratic party
| as expressed by its committee, and
putting aside his own desire, he has
manifested an unselfishness that is
consistent only for a man worthy OF
important responsibility.
! In his candidacy for the nomina-
ton, which will probably not be con-
tested, and for the election in Novem-
ber, Mr.. McMullen deserves the ag-
gressive support of every member OF
the Democratic party and Of every
citizen, no matter what his political
affiliation may be, who believes in a
recognition Of merit in selecting men
for the conduct of public affairs.
