BRITISH FIGHT HUN
MACHINES IN AIR

London, June 22-The activity of
British airmen in connection with re-
cent air raids on London indicates that
they are learning rapidly the art of
fighting the Gotha in the dark. Until
few months ago there was little air
fighting at night, even in France, and
raiding craft enjoyed a marked adj
vantage because their object was solely
to avoid attack while dropping their
bombs.
1t is evident that they are able no
longer to avoid attack. For one thing,
the British pilots have learned to see
in the dark as a result Of numerous
night flights in search Of enemy ma
chimes. Now they are able to spot
Gothas at distances which would have
been considered impossible in the early
stages OF night raids.
They have learned also how to take
the best positions for combating the
enemy, and how to keep those posi-
tions. The Gotha, being an extremely
heavy machine, is adept at slipping
away. BY sudden plunge IN front
of the attacking scout 1t can create a
| "backwash" and leave the attacker
struggling to right his machine.
The British pilots now know how
to cope with that trick and to keep
within thirty or forty yards OF the
raider all the time.
There are many perilous positions
round the Gotha, whose two gunners
can fire in almost any direction. Only
highly skillful handling Of the attack
ing machine enables the pilot TO main
tain place in which he can continue
the fight until he hits the raider in a
vital spot.

Fourth July Message
to People Of America

Detroit, Mion-, June PA Fourth
of-July message to American boys
from Lord Northcliffe, British publish
er and Journalist, urging them to Get
prepared; Keep prepared" in the event
that the war continues so long that
they will be called upon to fight, was
made public here today.
The lesson Of this great war is pre-
paredness," said Lord Northc,iffe in his
message, which will appear in the July
issue Of The American Boy, published

it may be!-that you American BOYS OF
1918 shall not be called to 30 forth to

fathers and brothers ana tne men or

world freedom and Justice TO the weak
as we'll as the strong. We hope this
war will end in victory long before
you can be called to the flag. But nv
message to you is to remember that no
man knows what tomorrow will bring
forth.
A great many Of you millions OF
American boys are close to manhood
now, and to many such BOYS NAV fall

soldiers already in the field-study,
brave chaps-were boys like yourselves
only short time ago. And just as
they march to the front with a glad
heart and a song on their lips, and a
great and solemn VOW to carry on for
victory whatever the cost, so will you
go If the opportunity comes.

BOAT OWNERS
ARE PLEASED
Ruling for Permanent Numbers or
Boats Enables Them to Con-
serve Looks and
Money.

Keokuk motor boat owners are de-
lighted with a ruling of the customs
service about the numbering of motor
boats.
Commodore Spangler of the Keo
kuk Motor Boat club. is informed that
the numbers issued by the collector
of customs at Des Moines, to be
placed on boats, may be kept 1ndef1-
nitely and are changed only when
the boat changes owners, or. the
present owner moves out of this Gus
toms service district,
The boat owners wanted to know
whether they could paint the number
on the boat, or permanently attach
brass or aluminium figure numbers
or whether the numbers would be
changed so often as to make this i'm
practical Commodore Spangler asked
the collector of customs and received
the answer that pleases boat owners

HOW ONE THIEF
WAS ARRESTED
A Dark Cellar, Big and Cross Dog,
Window and Officer Parks
Make the Seem
ario,

Snail Humphrey, premier chicken
| thief, according to the police, and
| equally according to his fellow pur'
| loiners of hens from roosts, is repos-
ing quietly in the city Jail these days.
He was paroled from a jail sentence
/ on condition that he stay away from
Keokuk, and the scenario of how he
got back In the LaStile in Lucas ave-
nue. is as good as many a motion pic
ture.
Returning to town, Humphrey
sneaked home and staid in the resi-
dence district But the police spled
him and laid plans to capture him
while there were few chickens left
in town.
Four officers surrounded his home
in the middle Of the night, and one
knocked at the door. After long
wait a woman opened the door, and
search of the house began. Finally
little door was found to open on the
cellar stairs. Officer Parks went into
the cellar, and just then the battery
of his hand light went weak
! In the cellar was a big, cross dog
most in evidence Parks kept his eyes
and dim lantern Oh the dog which
came at him. BY cajolery and kicks
subdred the dog and looked around
for Humphrey.
A second later, it would have been
too late, for Parks caught only a
Iglimpse of a foot disappearing through
a cellar window. he jumped and
grabbed the foot. The hands belong
ing to the same body held on to things
outside, but Parks is strong, and he
gradually pulled Humphrey back into
the cellar. After that 1t was the Jail
on an old sentence or two.
Humphrey is specially envied by
his confreres because his black face
and camouflaged clothes makes him
invisible dozen feet away in any
dim light. But he also has patiently
acquired much skill in getting chick
ems out of hen houses in perfect 81
lence.
