attacked by a number of German
machines and scattered and that
was the last seen of Guynemer. No
one saw the ace" engage in battle
with a German machine and no ar
tillery observer or captive balloon
man reported having seen a French
machine brought down at that time.
The enemy made no official state
ment on the matter. but soon there
appeared in a Berlin newspaper a
letter written by a young German
aviator the Sub-Lieut Wisseman. to
his mother, in which he stated:
yesterday | broke down Guynemer,
the celebrated French ace and

I am invincible and will never be
brought down myself"
Inside of a week. however. Wisse-
man was shot down by Lieut.. Rene
Fonok, a former teammate OF Guy
nemer, and his death was duly
chronicled in the German press.
Prisoners Drop Hints.
Certain remarks have been let
fall by German aviators shot down
and captured during the last few
months by British and French air
men or anti-aircraft gunners which
have strengthened the suspicious
always held by the French that Guy
nemer was not killed. No German
aviator yet captured has admitted
that he knew anything about the
matter of his own knowledge: but
several of them have dropped hints
that they had heard reports that
the ACE OF aces was a prisoner
and wounded.
These reports have been strength
ened by statements made by certain
persons who have come out of Ger
many through Holland and Switzer-
land during the past three or four
months and who profess to have
accurate information that Guynemer
is alive. a captive.

Withholding his assent the president
has not taken any action which will

Confusion still Exists.
Meanwhile the confusion result

ed that they did not know just what

IL is understood, however, that

is the attitude Of Am bassador David

Mr. Francis is understood here TO
have reported that the rank an /

Point to Presidents View.
These arguments, officials said to-
day, greatly impressed the presi-
dent in view of the public position
which he had taken on Russia in his
address TO congress on Jan. s. At
that time the president had an
nOunced that the war aims of the
United States as il affected Russia
was TO secure:
The evacuation of Russian ter
ritory and such a settlement Of all
questions affecting Russia as will Sc
cure the best and freest cooperation
OF the other nations of the world in
obtaining for her an unhampered
and unembarrassed opportunity for
the independent determination of
her own political development and
national policy and assure her of a
sincere welcome into the society Of
free nations under institutions OF
her own choosing and, more than a
welcome, assistance also of every
kind that she may need and may
herself desire. The treatment ac-
corded Russia by her sister nations
in the months TO come will be the
acid test Of their good will. Of their
comprehension of her needs as dis
tingUished from their own interests
and of their intelligent and unselfsh
sympathy"

Friday, openly opposed the propo-
sition which had been made by
Great Britain and France that the
United States take part in a Joint
expedition into Siberia, and take
over the great warehouses filed
with supplies in Nladivostok. Up to
that time high administration Off
cials had felt that inasmuch as il
was certain that Japan intended
landing troops in Siberia. il would
be most advisable for the United
States TO participate in such a land
ing and thus be in a better position
to insist that the territory occupied

Russia. Their influence prevented
such action and caused the reopen
ing of the entire subject by the
president. This was followed by the
reports from Ambassador Francis,
who announced that he intended re-
naming in Russia as he was con-
vinced that Germany could not
work its will on all Russia.
