Following a meeting in the open

decided that the executives of the po-
licemen's union should renew their
request today OF the police commits

SECOND FRENCH
ACE BRINGS al
MACHINES |! { ] ] !
Madden Has New Game to
Play with Enemy Aviators
on German Soil.
(By The tAssoc,ated Press)'

Paris. Aug. 31.-With forty-one Of
fetal victories to his credit, Captain
Madden the second French ace, is
reputed to have the most unique tao
tics and for adroit manoevring is said
to be second only to the first French
ace, Rene Fonck.
Madden has formed the habit, of
taking occasional holidays far over
the German lines. His particular
hobby is to settle near some enemy
airdrome. to play around it for a time
until he has aroused his Boche ad-
versaries. They start after him think
ing that he has been brought there
by engine trouble and just at the mo-
ment when they are ready to pounce
upon him he showers them with a
load Of incendiary bullets, from his
machine guns.
This method has succeeded again
and again in forcing Boche .aviators
to earth, either willingly or by force
Of gravitation. 1t i. is said that his
record Of fortyone victories was
made possible largely by these tactics.
