HAS NARROW ESCAPE
British Altman Goes Through Ex.
citing Experience.
Tail of His Machine Shot OFF While
Flying at 10000 Feet Over
Ostend.

London.-A British airman flying
powerful machine at 10000 feet over
Ostend recently had the machines tail
shot off by the direct hit of a shell,
very unusual occurrence.
The machine turned upside down,
out of control, and the pilot was
thrown out of his seat. By some in
applicable maneuver he managed to
Chamber onto the bottom of the fusel-
age of the machine astride Of which
he sat as if he was riding a horse.
Though the machine was out of con-
troll, owing to the loss of it's tail planes,
vet by moving forward and backward
he so managed to balance it that it
glided steadily downward, although it
was upside down.
He successfully brought it across
the German lines and came safely to
within a few hundred feet of the
ground. Then he crashed and was in
jured, but is now recovering in hos
pital.
When it is considered that this in
cident occurred at a height of 5000
feet, over hostile territory, and that
during the airman's terribly precarious
ride he was subject to anti-aircraft
fire, and liable to the attack of hostile
scouts, it is not too much to say that
his is a record achievement.
Recently another airman was shot
down, out of control, from $4,000 feet,
and fell, fluttering like leaf toward
the ground. At height Of 5000 feet
he tainted. Shortly afterward he
came to, and found himself in the ma
chine upside down in a marsh, unhurt.

LABRADOR FISHERY is SHORT
Only $4,000 QuintaIs Are Expected
This Season, Against 100000
in a Good Year.

st. Johns, N. F.-The Labrador fish
cry, one of the principal branches of
the Newfoundland cod fishery indus
try, threatens to be very short this
year. The fish are shipped direct from
the coast to European countries, main
ly Portugal, Spain, Italy and Greece,
and very high prices are obtained now
&days, virtually double the figures rul-
ing before the war started. The Lab
rador fishery of Newfoundland has not
in late years attained the same pro-
portions as formerly when some 10000
fisher folk, men, women and children,
migrated there every summer for the
fishing season, and the catch in some
years reached 100000 quintals. A good
season at present would represent half
these figures, whereas the outlook just
now is that for the 10000 or 10000
people engaged, not more than $4,000
QuintalS will be obtained.

U-BOAT CHASERS
Do Great WORK
Allies Praise Americans for Part
They Played in Durazzo
Engagement.
ACTIVE DUTY PLEASES men
Squadron of Twelve Commanded by
Captain Nelson Forms Screen for
Big Warships-One of Fate's
Queer Twists.

London.-A contingent Of IL Ameri-
can submarine chasers played bril-
liant and novel part in the DuraZZo en-
gagement. This chaser squadron eff
fectively acted as a screen around the
big ships engaged in the bombardment
to protect them against submarines.
The Americans were under heavy fire,
but had no casualties.
Capt. c.. P. Nelson and Lieut.. Com.
2. FL. BastedO commanded the squad
ron. A large percentage of the officers
and men were of the naval reserve
their work highly.
The Americans definitely sank one
submarine and damaged and probably
destroyed another. After the engage
ment they escorted British cruiser
which had been hit by torpedo safely
to the base from which the expedition
started. An enemy hospital ship was
also taken in charge for examination.
Active Duty Pleases Men.
Throughout the bombardment and
when the forces were approaching the
harbor the chasers circled swiftly
around the big ships. A report received
here says the men had good time and
evidently were pleased with the sue
cess Of the first achievement of this
character the chaSerS had attempted
to work. Heretofore they have been
patrolling, dropping depth charges and
firing on enemy submarines.
AustriaHungary has at the most
only two modern battleships left; she
has lost a large number of small craft,
and now DuraZZO, the advanced base
of her depleted fleet, has been rem
dered useless, writes the British naval
expert, Archibald Hurd, in the Daily
Telegraph. Continuing, he says:
''DuraZzo, practically dominating all
one side of the Adriatic, was to the
Austrians what Zeebrugge was once to
the Germans. No effort had been
spared to make it an impregnable port
which would be valuable to the Aus
TRANS, as base Of military forces of
the quadruple alliance in Albania, and
In addition be a pistol aimed at the
allies.
Sees One of Fate's Queer Twists.
'In the scheme of attack provision
had been made by the entente naval
forces for the cooperation of Ameri-
can submarine chasers, of which quite
number have been working in the
Mediterranean. 1t was an irony of fate
that whereas the Germans boosted of
the damage their submarines would do
to the Americans it was the submarine
chaSerS of our friends which travelled
about four thousand miles to deal with
the German partner at his very gate
way.
1.-THE American seamen will be cor
daily congratulated by their comrades
In the other allied navies on the de-
structiOn Of two Austrian submarines.
The attack was a direct and menacing
challenge to the Hungarian
fleet, and it presents another effective
blow struck at the enemy.
"The task of making way through
the mine fields in broad daylight must
have been a difficult and hazardous
one. We shall probably learn that
some Of our hardy east coast fisher
men, Englishmen and Scotchmen, had
hand in clearing the passage for the
warships."
