ENGLISH FLYER BAGS FIVE HUNS
IN LAST BATTLE

London-A remarkable account of
the feat of a squadron commander of
the royal air force, who is now in
London on leave, is being told at the
Aero club. The day he was to leave
France for England he determined to
attempt to bring down one more Ger
nan before his departure at noon At
$40 his machine left the airdome
At 9:55 he met five German scout
ing Pfalz machines and one German
two-seater, just east of Ploegsteerte,
Flanders. He shot down two scouts
and so successfully chased two others
that their pilots lost their heads and
crashed their machines into each 9TH
er, both collapsing in midair.
The Englishman then attacked the
German twoSseater, shooting it down
in flames, despite the attempt of the
fifth scout machine to interfere. Fall
ing in its attempt, the last German
machine flew away, escaping the Wig.
orous pursuit of the Englishman, who
returned to the airdrome in time for
luncheon and to catch his train.

BEGGAR TAKEN UP
FOR SEDITIOUS TALK
Blind Beggar In Fleming County is
Taken Before Exemption Board
on Charge Of Making Talk
Against the Government.

The Flemingsburg Times-Democrat
says:
For the past few days an old fell
low has been begging around town,
having paper which put forward the
claim that he was almost blind and
asking aims. When interviewed by
the writer, he said he was from Mont
gomery county, whereupon he was
told that Montgomery county was the
place for him to apply for aid, as he
was known there. But he kept on in
his course, going from here to Eliz-
aville, where he applied at the home
of Deputy Sheriff G. w. Powell Mrs.
Powell asked him some questions and
he at once launched out in a denun-
citation of the Government, the Red
Cross, and things in general, accusing
the Red Cross of stealing the peoples
money, and that this was a war for
the Democratic party, and so on for
quantity. When Mr., Powell came in
his wife reported the matter to him
and he at once hunted up the fellow
and asked him about it, He very
boldly reafIirmed what he had said,
upon which Mr.. Powell called up the
Local Board and reported the matter,
and was told to bring in the offender.
He resisted arrest but was forced to
| accompany the officer. When brought
before the board he said his name was
John Adams of Montgomery county
He was finally discharged with an adj
monition to keep his mouth shut and
go back where he belonged, and when
last heard from he was passing Ew-
ing on his way to Mt. Olivet. Give

OLD PLAYMATE OF
PERSHING WRITES
OF BOYHOOD DAYS
Proposes Statue to Hero in Native
Missouri Town.

Waco, Tex.-S, f. Carothers. man
ager of a local sash and door factory,
takes much pride in the fact that he
was a boyhood friend and companion
Of Gen. John j. Pershing. Mr.. Caroth-
ers received q letter a few days ago
from Everett T. Tomlison of Eliza
beth, n. j., member of the New Jer-
sey public library commission, who is
writing story of the life of Gen.
Pershng. asking Mr.. Carothers to
send him any data or "reminiscences
lie may have in regard to the distin-
guished army commander. Mr.. Caro-
theirs replied as follows:
Il have had both the honor and
pleasure of being boyhood friend of
Cen. John Joseph Pershing. Gen
l'ershing was born in the town of La
ClCde. Linn county, Mo-, in 1860, and
was the Oldest of a family of several
children.
His father and mother were fairly
we'll to do financially and highly re-
spccted in the community in which
they lived. his father being a promi-
rent merchant and postmaster for
many years.
"As boy Pershing was not unlike
thousands of other boys of his age
enjoying the same pleasures and
games as his other boyhood compan-
ions. He knew the best place to
shoot squirrels or quail, knew where
hazel and hickory nuts grew the most
abundantly. The writer and he knew
who raised the best watermelons and
the nearest and obscurest route to the
patch.
"At school John was studious and
quick to grasp the principles outlined
in the text books. AS a rule, he eX-
celled his classes in all his lessons,
particularly in mathematics.
His primary education was obtain
ed in a little white schoolhouse of one
room, which still stands in the old
home town. One of his first teachers
was named Angel and I suppose
that is one reason John has made
good, and another reason is, per-
haps, because part of his early educa-
ton was under my fathers tutelage.
Bullets are not the only scars of
battle that John carries, for if close
inspection be made it will develop
scars caused by the close application
of certain hickory or Usage limbs in
the hands of some hasty and iddtated
teacher for an ALLEGED infraction Of
rules.
"John was, and is still, intensely
human, and that is why we all love
him. His old playmates and friends
are proud of his success as a soldier,
but they love him because of his high
standard of principles and unswerv-
ing integrity. AS a boy he was force
full in purpose and honest in his con-
vlctions, and his word was deemed
! sufficient.
"In looking over some old papers
the other day ran across a copy OF
the Laclede News, under date Of Dec.
20, 1881, and among other news items
found the following;
"'John j. Pershing will take, his
leave OF home and friends this week
for West Point, where he will enter
the United States Military academy,
John win make FIRST rate good look
ing cadet with Uncle Sans blue and
we trust he will ever wear II with
honor to himself and the old flag
