AEROPLANE. FLEW
ALONE TWO HOURS
WITH PILOTS DEAD

Correspondence of the Associated Press)
London, May 1s.-The strange case
of an airplane which continued in
flight for two hours after its occu-
pants had been killed is related by an
officer of the Royal Air force
1t was British Bristol battle plane,
a two scatter, carrying guns fore and
aft 1t left the ground at 1880 p M
in good flying weather At $500 feet.
while travelling at a speed of eighty
miles an hour, il attacked a German
Albatross. Three other machines. two
of them German. Joined in the action.
The Bristol hung on to its quarry and
eventually sent it crashing down
Immediately afterward it made a
sweep to the south. 1t had lost height
in maneUvering and was seen to be
rocking badly as if out of control
But it kept steadily on until lost to
view.
Shortly before O'Clock the ma
chine fell to earth nearly twenty miles
west of Arras- Both its occupants
were found to be dead from bullet
wounds in the back. The planes pc
troll tank was empty
The officer reporting the case says
there is no doubt that the two airmen
were shot just after they had downed
the German. Then for some reason,
which will never be known, the con-
trolls were shifted and the machine de-
scribed a wide circle gradually losing
speed and height He estimated that
the two dead men were in the air
fully two hours before the machine
finally fell

GOOD CROP PROSPECTS
Frequent Rains in Last Week a Boon
to Kansas.

The betterment of crop conditions in
Kansas is pointed out in a report is
sued by the section center of the
weather bureau in Topeka today
The report in full follows:
Crop prospects were greatly improv-
ed in all except extreme western Kan
sas this week by frequent rains that
totallede from one to three inches in
the north central and northeastern
counties and nearly an inch in most
of the south-central counties. Tenn
peratures above normal in all parts
still further favored a rapid crop
growth where the rains fell The
western third of the state. however, is
in the grip of a severe drought and
crops, as well as farm work. have been
at a standStill. with continued deter
ioration of wheat
Wheat is rapidly recovering from
the effects of the previous dry weather
where rains fell this week and. with
the exception of bad spots here and
there is generally in promising condi-
ton in the eastern half of the state,
tho it remains to be seen just how
much il will recover in the important
producing counties in the south-cen-
trail portion. 1t is mostly in head in
the northeastern counties and heading
rapidly in the north-central In the
extreme northwest it is still in the
boot Present indications are that
harvest will begin in the southeastern
counties June 1U-1Z ana Will ~SpT eau
gradually north and west, reaching
the Kaw valley and the south-central
counties by June 20 1t is not likely
to begin along the Nebraska line be-
fore July 4.
Oats are beginning to head in the
eastern part of the state, but there are
numerous complaints that it is head
ing shorter than usual Rye is mostly
in head and will be ready to cut in
the southeast by June IS. Oats will
be ready shortly after wheat Barley
is being badly damaged by the
drought in the western counties.
The first cutting of alfalfa is about
done in the southeast and the crop is
ready to cut elsewhere in the eastern
half of the state, but this work has
been delayed by unfavorable weather.
AS rule, it is reported to be lighter
than usual
Cultivation of corn is general in the
eastern portion. Considerable replant-
ing has been necessary on account OF
poor seed and cut worms. tho per-
hapS not more than usual The CROP

well. Potatoes are extra fine and are
being dug for local use in the south

Strawberries are ripening. but the

COAL TO BE SHORT
West May Suffer for Fuel Next
Winter.
Many Miners to Army Make
Serious Problem.

Philadelphia. May ga substan
tial increase in the supply of anthra-
cite coal to be furnished the New Eng
land and North Atlantic states was
promised by Joseph B. Dickson. chair
man of the anthracite committee of
the United States fuel administration,
in an address today before the conven-
ton of the National Coal association.
To provide this increased supply. he
said. anthracite will be barred from
states in the trans Mississippi. central,
western and southern territory. He
warned domestic consumers in the
middle west and south to make ar
rangementS at once to use bituUinouS
in place of anthracite coal.
The war, directly thru the army
draft and in less direct but even Iarg-
er ways has drawn down the anthra-
cite miners army from $4,000 to
about las, 900" said Mr.. Dickson.
Will Lose Miners Yet
There is going on a further reduc-
ton in the force which is most threat
ening.
The present coal year started with
absolutely no carried over stocks of
anthracite Consequently the demands
to the utmost extent that they can be
supplied have got to be met out of
the current production.
1t should be understood eyery-
where and by all that anthracite must
be used carefully. that its waste or
needless use by some will entail a
shortage and suffering for others"
