.ti ING Of irmcn.

Before the war there was, says Ed
win Bidwell Wilson In the Yale Re
view. much criticism Of professional
exhibiting ayiators who, to thrill spec
tators, put their machines into all
sorts Of daredevil attitudes and fire.
Quently themselves came suddenly
down to death. In fighting, the ability to
dc all manner of .stunts" is essential.
The more completely q pilot can con-
troll his machine. the more easily. he
can toss 1t hither and thither-cutting
,figure-eights, looping the loop, nose
Giving and tail diving-the better
chance he has for his own life and
the more certain. he Is to get his OPP
lonent. Sad as are, the. continual re-
ports Of, death By accident at our avia-
ton training camps we may, rest as-
sured that for an unframed pilot to
90 overseas to the front is almost GER
tainly fatal. and that for every life
lost in training, many are saved In
fighting. Fortunately airplanes today
are so much stronger structurally and
so much better equipped and con-
trolled than before the war. that this
necessary "stunting" In school and on
the field is no longer really dangerous
the real danger, now lies in physical
inability to 'stunt." Not only must

AMERICAN STEAMER
 SUNK, CREW SAVED
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

LONDON, Sept 10.-The American steamship Dora, foremrly under the Austrian flag. was torpedoed and sunk on September {, approximately 400 miles off France as the result of an attack on cargo convoy. The crew was saved.
 The steamship was struck at 620 o'clock in the morning. A calm sea enabled all the crew of S5 to escape They were picked up by destroyers.
 The submarine daringly took up a position about 150 yards from the star board side of the convoy column and about an equal distance from the near est destroyer and fired at the Dora which was heading a column of three vessels
 The lookout reported seeing peri scope just after the wake of the tor pedo was discovered but nothing more was Seen of the submarine. The tor pedo struck aft throwing the cargo of army supplies as high as the mast tops, but only one member of the crew was hurt.
 The escorting ships immediately dropped numerous depth charges where 1t was believed the torpedo came from. Owing to the speed with which the war ships acted and the close proximity of the U-boat, it is considered possible that the submarine was either de- stroyed or badly damagedN
 This attack is somewhat different from the recent methods of U boats in firing on lone vessels and giving no attention to protected conveys, and it shows more reckless daring in an eff fort to sink conveyed boats than has been usual during the past few months.

EDITOR STILL IL, BUT
 MAGAZINE: APPEARS

Although it's editor. C. $. Scott, is still ill' and not physically able to give his attention to the business, the Aug ust number of the Arizona magaZne has made it's appearance with a fine showing in an advertising way and bright and interesting in it's news and literary columns.
 This is due, as has been the case for several months, to Colonel James H. McClintpck who has given mucn of his time and energies to the magazine since the unfortunate illness of Mir. Scott and has "carried on" the publi- cation as though nothing at all had happened.
 With his fund of information con- corning early and present Arizona, Colonel McClintock in this issue of the Arizona magazine presents an interest- ing article entitled "'rhe Friendly Pima of Southern Arizona Plains" Other articles are ''The Story of the Clifton Morenci District" An Arizonian in France" and numerous others, includ- | ing the usual news of the mines of Arizona. There is much of profit and | interest in the magazine.
