Aviator Killed,
Student Injured
When plane Falls
Naval Machine Drops Into
Great South Bay; Fliers
Bring Aid

BABYLON, Long Island, May "A
sea plane from the Bayshore Naval
Aero Station fell five hundred feet
into Great South Bay at 10 o'clock to-
day. Ensign Spencer Thorndike Alden,
u. S. N. r. F., the pilot, twenty-six
years old, was instantly killed, and
Philip B. Mosser, twenty-five years old,
of Boston, was probably fatally in
jured.
Mosser is in the South Side Hospital,
in Babylon, suffering from a fractured
skull. His condition is too critical for
an operation. Alden's father came on
from Tehosky, Mich. to see his son
and was on the grounds of the aero
station when the accident occurred. He
was not told of it until after the body
was brought ashore. A military fu
neral will be held Monday
The men had been flying for half
an hour when the plane fell. Aviators
flew to the station and brought
physician back. Other planes flew to
the scene. An eyewitness said there
were dozen or fifteen planes in the
water In short while.
Captain John E. Arnold, a Civil War
veteran, was picking up his fish net
near the scene. He rowed to the over
turned 'plane, picked Mosser up and
pulled him over to a speed boat, which
carried him to Bayshore. Both men
were penned under the machinery, but
Mosser managed to keep his head above
water

Inspired Reasons
For London Raids

Again, not long ago several German
papers published some obviously in
spired reasons for bombing London.
The chief reason, so they declared, was
that it forced the British to keep guns
and airmen in England to protect the
capital. Such reasoning applies equally
to Paris, and, indeed, to any town Of
sufficient Importance. The general has
said nothing about London, because he
wishes to make distinction between
London and Paris. elassing the latter
with Rhine towns as illegitimate tar
GETS. and leaving London fortress"
with the result that If his little scheme
succeeded 1t would leave the Germans
free to bomb London without fear Of
retaliation.
The British bombing Of Rhine towns
has produced very quick and signifi-
can't result. 1t has shown that the
German responds at once to force. and
that he responds to nothing else. After
his own towns have experienced a
couple Of months bombardment- hs

1t was while pursuing one of the
fleeing German machines that the
pilots gun jarnmed, and he was forced
to break off his pursuit and climb up
to the shelter of his squadron until his
gun could be got into action again.
Before he could regain his altitude the
German dived down on him. The enemy
plane came out of the heart of the
sun straight at him, so he did not see
the approach of his antagonist until
the latter's bullets came whizzing
through his wings. Glancing up, he
saw his enemy only few yards away.
It was impossible for the British
pilot to dive or sideslip The German
would simply have followed him down
and continued to pump in bullets at
point-blank range. Neither could he
remain on his course or a German bull
let would surely reach him.
In flash he summed up the situa-
ton, saw the only chance open to him,
and shatched at it instantly.

BEHIND THE BRITISH LINES IN
FRANCE, March 1O.-A British ma
chine rammed German airplane in an
aerial battle few days ago. The

The whole incident, as described to
The Associated Press, shows the neces-
sity for an AMMAN to develop an al
most supernatural ability to deal with
unexpected situations. 1t is generally
believed one OF the chief reasons for
the present German inferiority in the
air is that the average German pilot is
incapable of adjusting his mental bal

Secretary Lane Warns of
Peril to Ships, Railways
and Industries
Sets Limit at so Days
Ma jority of House Committee
Now Said to Favor Admin
istration Measure

WASHINGTON, May 3.--A predic-
ton that ships, railroads and war in
dustries will be unable to obtain fuel
oil after sixty days if the leasing bill
is not passed by Congress was made
to-day by Secretary Lane.
Early agreement on the bill was fore
cast by Representative Ferris, of Okla
homa, chairman of the Public Lands
Committee, which is considering the
bill. The agreement will give the bill
the status demanded by the Admins
tration and favored by President Will
son and the Department of the In
terror, as against the proposals Of oil
men seeking government patents to
land already developed,
A majority of the House Committee
favored amendments which would give
larger privileges to those now engaged
in oil production on public lands, and
which was opposed by the Administra-
tion.
1t was said to-day objection to the
Administration measure has been
committee to assure majority in its
favor.
Secretary Lanes prediction was made
in letter to Mr.. Ferris. 1t said
Il trust you will press for immediate
action upon the leasing bill. 1t is
nothing less than national war neces-
sity that the supply of fuel on the
Pacific Coast be at once increased.
am in touch with the situation through
the Geological Surevy and the Bureau
of Mines, and the facts before me
justify this prophecy, that within sixty
days railroads, aeroplane factories,
shipyards, ships and many industries
will be unable to secure oil or fuel OF
any kind il bill is not passed under
which producing lands will be opened
to the fullest development. If this end
can be furthered by placing the whole
matter of reserved oil lands in the
hands of the President I certainly
would fight for it strenuously.'

AT interesting chapter in railway
history is recalled by the statement of
the chairman of the City & South
London Railway that this line would
have been reconstructed If it had not
been for the war. The City & South
London enjoys the dual distinction Of
being the first underground electric
railway and the first "Tube" railway
in the world. The tunnels of the later

the small size of the South Londoi, for

The German
Learns Humanity
By H. r. Wakefield
IN THE debate in the Reichstag

TN THE debate in the Reichstag
on February 81, a Deputy
named Schultz Gravernitz pro-
tested against the Germans being called
barbarians. Had they not introduced
protection Of children and social policy
in Belgium and taken care of works
of art in France? These expressions
can be interpreted in several ways.
To show that he, at least, was no
barbarian he suggested that there
ought to be an international agreement
which would prevent all air raids be-
yond certain distance from the front.
There were certain other references to
air raids in the debate. including one
from Hasse, who made the awkward
confession that it was common knowl
edge that Bethmann- H Hollweg had lied
about an air raid on Nuremberg early
in the war, and it is evident that the
question was exercising a good many
minds. Since then that interest has
crystallized into policy. 1t is evident
that the German authorities have made
up their minds to make great effort to
stop air raids.
They began this campaign by making
several heavy raids on Paris, costly in
machines and clearly carried out re-
gardless of loss. This is the typical
German preface to negotiation. In his
speech of the same date Erzberger re-
marked that neutral, we'll disposed to
Germany, said to him, "In Germany you
always threaten peace on pain of penal
servitude." An excellent little epi-
gram. These raids, they carefully
stated, were reprisals for British at
tacks on Rhine towns. Now we have
got step further. We have in the
Cologne Gazette" a definite offer,
made by the general in command of the
German air service.

In Terror of
American Fliers

A neutral has just given in the Eng
lish press an account of his expe-
riences in Mulheim, near Cologne, dur
ing a threatened air raid. The general
impression was that the Americans had
come.
-Four or five aeroplanes were visible,
and presently some one exclaimed: !:
'They are Americans!' Another per-
son screamed out: The Americans are
coming!' A Dutchman called out:
There now! What did 1 tell you!
told you the Americans would come
sooner Or later. Now you seel' 1t was
evident that there was very real
terror of what American assistance in
the air would mean. The planes did
not bomb Mulheim, but went on to
attack Coblenz, where they did great
damage. Nevertheless, the people of
Mulheim remained in a great state Of
panic for hours after"
Multiply that experience many times;
imagine the minds of these people fully
convinced that a terrible fate is in
store for them in few months, and
the reason for the German staff's sud-
den attack Of humanity" is evident.
They realize that they are having the
worst of the exchanges; that the spirit
of their people will not stand it, and,
with their usual determined prudence,
they are scheming hard to save their
skins.
We learn, then, two useful lessons
First, that the only way to "humanize''
the German is to frighten him, and,
second, that the fear of America Is
very prevalent and very great. These
two lessons cannot be learned too we'll.
whether the French government will
take these severe penalties to heart, as
it remains entirely in their hands as to
whether or not the city of Paris has
to suffer from further air attacks from
u.s."
None of the generals observations
will stand examination. To begin with
it is the Prussian's professed creed
that in war everything is justifiable
which pays; that civilians in streets
are just as legitimate targets as SOL
diers in trenches. 1t is his greatest
contribution to modern thought. More
over London has exactly the same
status as Paris, yet London has been
bombed many times without single
military objective being touched, for
the simple reason that it does not con-
tain them.

Why the Hun
Attacked Paris

att is true that the aerial attacks on
Paris had no direct military aims in
view and that they were not directed
against the fortress, but against the
city Of Paris. The French have no
reason to be indignant, as these at
taeks were punishment for the
enemy's attacks last Christmas Eve and
during January and February. Hitherto
our attacks have been exclusively di-
rected against such targets as were di-
rectly connected with military activ-
tiles. Although the majority of the
enemy's attacks we're without result,
some of them have caused us heavy
sacrifices. We are now waiting to see
becomes comparatively suave and
babbles of humanity. This rapid re-
sponse shows that the British raids
along the Rhine have caused great
damage and apprehension.

Why Women Have Taken to Hunting
 and Trapshootinq,


 Thousands of women have taken to shooting, both in the field and at the traps, of late years, and they have proven welcome additions to the sport
 There was a time when fair DianaS before the traps were as scarce as ice cream parlors on the Sahara Desert but in these days of enlightenment women are to be found tramping the fields in quest of game during the hunting season and at the trapshoot- ing tournaments of importance.
 Wlomen's eyes seem to possess a keenness for quickly developing skill at the sport which they are finding so attractive.
 men in which they give their reasons for taking up hunting and trapshoot- ing:
 T believe every girl should know how to shoot, for a more health giv- ing sport could not be found."-Jane Sullivan, Los Angeles, Calf.
 It is only question of time when to be a, skilled n1arkswoman will be numbered among the latest achieve ments. And not only will it be a recreative sport, but a step toward woman's independence" Mrs. E. B. Belknap, Wyoming, N. Y.
 I've carried a gun all day in the woods I've climbed mountains, waded streams and fought my way through green briar thickets. On frosty morn ings I've bagged squirrels with hands so numb with cold I could scarcely break the gun to reload.
 Tn the bush of North Ontario I've slept all night on the ground, rolled in a blanket, while the rain pelted down.. For two nights I slept in a canvas tnet while comrade and the guide were off on a moose hunt.
 Through all the hardships of hunt ing I've stuck to it, for I enjoy it more than other sport" - Mrs. J. Fred FL bright. Eldorado, Ga. Shooting is the best prescription any specialist could prescribe for that tired feeling,"" says Mrs. c. F. Lass, Grand Junction, Col.
 The pleasure 1 have received and the physical benefits derived from par ticipating in the sport are so positive that I advise all women to become trapshooters.
 ''Trapshooting is recreative sport suited to women, I firmly believe. Their presence at the traps will raise the sport to a still higher plane and in- crease interest in it st the same time ' Mrs. Nettie King Burrows, St. Louis Mo.
 T have been on several hunting trips with my Husband, but of all the sports with a gun, trapshooting is, to my mind, the greatest of them all."- Mrs. Andrew J. Reber, Grafton, Pa. One reason why the women who have taken up trapshooting are far happier and healthier than their sQ- ciety- mad or their stay at home sist- CTS is the new comradeship that is found between husband and wife brother and sister daughter and fa- ther as the case may be. And it is good place for the children too Bring the boys and girls; the more the mer- rier, and encourage them to follow your example. Ruth Alexander Pep pie, Topeka, Kan.

FoRTIETH ANNIVERSARY OF FIRST TRIPLE PLAY
First Unassisted Triple Play Was Pull
 ed May 8, 1878

This year saw the fortieth anniver- sary of the first triple play in base ball history. It was on May s, 1878
 that Paul Hines, center fielder of the Providence Grays of the National Lea que, pulled this stunt. Hines was play ing deep center field on the Provid- ence diamond in a game against Bos- ton on the memorable date. There were Boston men on second and third bases when a brief fly was banged out over second base. Hines went after it, but it seemed an impossible catch, and the runners on bases started for home. Hines got the ball when it was within an inch of the ground, touched second base and then scooted for tHerd before the man who had been on that wild over this feat, and baseball sharps predicted that it would never be re- peated. The prediction stood for nearly quarter of century, but in 1902 Harry O'Hagan of Rochester, in the Eastern League, perpetrated an unassisted triple play at Jersey City. About two years later Larry Schlafly broke into the hall of fame with a tri- pie play at Portland Ore, and in 1906 Murch, of the Manchester club, tupn- ed the trick at New Bedford The second major leaguer to make a triple play was, Neal Ball. at Cleveland in 1909 Carlisle of Vernon, in the Pa cific Coast League, started the Los Angeles fans with such mighty deed in 1911, and in the same year Calvert, of Woodburn, Ore, pulled off a triple play without aid, assistance or succor.
 Paul A. Hines, the inventor of the unassisted triple play, was born in Washiu eton and started his career with tha Washington Nationals. Later
