GETS FIRST ENEMY AIRMAN
But Lieut.. McisSner of Brooklyn
Didn't Consider Victory Worth
Making Fuss Over

With the American Army in
France, May (By the Associated
Press)-Lieutenant James A. Meiss-
ner, whose home is in Brooklyn and
who brought down his first German
airplane today on the American front
northwest of Toul, returned to his.
hangar to receive the congratulations
Of his comrades.
He briefly told an American story
IN an American way, just as if
bringing down a German was an
every day trick.
Il saw him at about 5000 meters"

chine, which I believe was a French
one, headed in the direction Of the
German. I just sailed in first but the

Gown after him firing all the time.
Then he Strengthened out and
turned his wing point quickly and
rammed my wing, but as that was
happening l cut loose with my gun
again. Smoke came from the Ger
man machine which headed for the
interior of Germany and we both
were soon over his territory.
Il thought that might be some
sort of camout1age for a getaway
for they tell me these Germans are
full of tricks, so I kept right on his
tail. Then he began to drop, real
red flames streaming from him.

GOVERNMENT CONTROL
OF ROADS COSTLY
Operating Expenses Greater, Net In
come Less, Than Under PrI-
yate Ownership.

Washington, May 3.--During the
first three months of government reg
ulation ia American railroads
showed a net operating income of
$54,1OS,661 against $144, 4,011,399 for
the same period under private direc-
ton in 1917.
For the three months period ending
with March interstate commerce
commission statistics issued today
show operating revenues were S726,-
011,329 against $68S,173,S57 in
1917; operating expenses $637,7S4,-
COS against $512, ,775,369 and net rev.
enue from railway operations $751;
226,721 against SITS, 398,488. The op-
Grating income for March was $50,-
42S,3O2, as against $57,592,0S7 the
same month last year.
The earnings report indicates
roughly that the government lost
more than s100,0o0,000 in operation
of the roads during January, Fe'bru-
ary and March, although railroad ad-
ministration officials looked for such
record as q result or bad weather
and traffic losses in January. They
believe the loss will be made up in
later months.

DYNAMITE FOUND IN REAR OF
NEW BRITAIN RECORD OFFICE
Police Have Mystery on
Hands Through Discovery
of Explosive in Rubbish
Pile This Afternoon.

A stick of dynamite, found in the
printery this morning by John Par
tyka of 1O5 Beaver street, is viewed
with considerable suspicion and
causes q feeling of alarm. Young
Partyka was rumaging about the ash
pile and seeing the brown colored cyl
inder-shaped piece picked it up to
learn what it was. Dynamite No.
60" was printed with red ink on the
oiled paper covering. Instantly he
realized the finding was unusual and
he decided to turn it over to the po-
lice.
Hey, captain see what I found"
he breathlessly shouted as he rushed
up to the desk at the police head
quarters. He tossed the stick of dy-
Mantle onto the desk.
Captain Thomas w. Grace had his
suspicion when he saw the brown cyl
inder in the boys hand and when the
boy threw it the captain had visions
of new police headquarters. For
tunately nothing happened. I'm
glad the boy didn't stumble coming
up the steps,, remarked the captain.
superintendent Towers of the wa
ter department was called to the po-
lice station to look at the dynamite to
ascertain if it was some that had
been used by the department in it's
construction work. Mr.. Towers said
that it was not the brand used by
the department and to the best of his
knowledge it was not a brand sold in
city. Taking, the stick he visited Alb
be'S hardware store and learned there
that it was not a kind sold there.
There is much speculation as to the
source that the dynamite was Sc
cured. The Able store is the only
place in this section where it can be
purchased. No Hartford dealer ham
dies dynamite and the trade in GEN.
trail Connecticut is supplied 'prlnc1~
pally through the Able store.
The stick was one inch in diameter.
The single stick was sufficient to blow
the Record building to pieces The
force of an explosion might even
damage the city building and Lyce-
um theater, which are nearby. 4
No percussion cap or fuse was
found attached to the stick Of dyn2-
mite and so it is possible that some
one had the dynamite and wanted to
be rid of it and took that means.
The finding of the dynamite serves
as a reminder Of the western plots to
blow up newspaper plants.
The police are working on the case
and are hopeful Of finding correct
solution of the mystery.

Bidou, the distinguished military
critic of the Journal des Debates, who
has just returned from the front,
gave Reuters correspondent here a
most encouraging account of the posi-
ton there. He says the last time he
visited the front was after the capture
Of KENNEL hill. He found some
gloom over the possibilities involved
but when he returned he was delight
ed to find q spirit of utmost confidence
among the allied officers and men re-
Sulting from the magnificent manner
in which the Germans have been held
up.
He said Tuesday was q splendid
day for the allies and graver for the
Germans than the loss of KENNEL hill
was to the allies. Never, he said, had
he seen such comradeship and mutual
esteem among the allies as since the
beginning of this great battle when
the British and French fought and
died together.
