Square Accounts
With Hun Pilots

London, June How a~British fly
ing squadron turned the TABLES on Ger
man airnen who had been bombing
their aerdrome is related by Lieut.. w.
A. Barnes of the Royal air force.
1--WE had been giving the Hun a live
~ time.' the officer says. bombing his
dumps. billets communications and
town nightly. When, therefore he
bombed our aerodrome two evenings
in succession anad completely upset all
our. arrangements, it was generally
agreed that he had scored one over US.
Much as his enterprise was admired
however, it was decided to TRIP to check
it,
The plan evolved was simple. The
next day the British machines were
flying overto a neighboring aero
drome, where it was believed they
wopfd be safe from raids. Then they
started off just after dusk to make
reprisai attack.
1--WE arrived at the enemy's lair
Iiuetenant Barnes narrates, "a. most
opportune moment, for a second relay
Of his machines we're just 'taxying'
across the ground to take off in the
flare path In our widest dreams we
had not hoped for such luck as this and
every possible advantage was taken or
it.
"A few we'll directed bombs, dropped
right in among the machines that were
awaiting their turn to tako off set hre
to two and badly damaged others. An
other machine was seen to crash whilst
actually taking off in the flare path.
Some equally we'll directed 1ncendiary
bombs set fire 10 a large shed and then
the real fun of the night began.
by this time the first relay of enemy
machines, sent, as we afterwards
learned, to bomb our own aerodrome
again, began to return. AS they were
on their own side of the line and in
,lissful ignorance OF the fate Of their
aerodrome, they were flying with navi-
cation lights full on, thereby giving
their position away in the darkness.
Relieved OF our bombs, we were able
to give fight and successfully shot down
one in flames while another was dis
tinctly seen to crash on top Of WOOD.
Having thus paid our debts In full
we left the remainder to land on
bomb-riddled arrodrome-no enviable
task at night-While we went off home
to celebrate q good nights work, with
the comforting assurance that the r. A.
F. were at least one up on their ad-
Iversaries' game"

HUNS WANTED 80 NEWSPAPERS.
Planned to Buy Up Organ. of Public


Opinion in United States.
New York. July 2O.-Germans in the
united States at one time contem-
plated the purchase of thirty American
newspapers in as manN cities, to pub
lish matter favorable to the central
powers, it was said at the federal build
ing. where federal grand jury u in
vestigating the case Of DR.. Edward A.
Rumely, arrested on charge (which
involves the alleged purchase Of the
New Evening Mail for the German
government in 1915. The project was
launched before the United States en-
tered the war and was mainly unsuc-
cessful, but it was intimated German
money was put into number Of pub
locations. This money, it was said. is
now being traced and in the end, it Is
believed, most of it will be located.
Among the witnesses before the
grand jury were Frank Parker Stock
bridge and John E. Cullen, former and
present managing editors, respective
ly, of the Mail.
Deputy Attorney General Becker, Of
New York, declared that information
in his possession and that Of the fed
eral alien property custodian for whom
he acted inrthe Mail case indicates that
Teuton millions were spent in districts
far from the metropolis, to influence
news and editorial policies in favor Of
the German cause.
In connection with Mr.. Becker's
statement, it was learned authorita-
lively that another newspaper passed
into German control before the>United
States entered the war; in a manner
similar to that alleged to have been
followed in the case Of the Mail. This
newspaper is located in the far west
and action against its ostensible own
ers is predicted as an early develop
ment.

The Pacific Coast league officials

it's directors decided to close the sea-
SOM to aid work of draft boards In
the states touched by the league. "A
final series between the two leading
clubs, Vernon and Los Angeles. was ar
ranged to decide the championship.
President Allen r. Baum Of the league
issued a statement which said:
exemption boards in the two states
in which the league operates-Califor-
MIA and Utah-have ruled that the
players are subject to the work or
fight rule and the league has decided
to abide by this decision rather than
appeal to higher authorities.
In view of the shortening of the
season and the coseness Of the race
between Vernon and Los Angeles. the
directors voted to order these two
clubs to play an additional series Of
nine games in Los Angeles next week.

Widely known Over Iowa.

Des Moines, July 20.-Perhaps no
Iowan has been more generally known
|over the state than was Col. Albert w.
Swain during his residence in Iowa.
While he gained wide acquaintance
when connected with the old Iowa State
Register he was most generally known
as publisher of the Oskaloosa Herald
and thru his association with National
Guard matters. :
1t is as "Al" Swain that all the older
residents know him. He gained his
title Of colonel in the National Guard,
altho he also served three years in the
civil war as a member of Company B,
Thirty-third Iowa infantry, and later
in the Thirty fourth regiment.
His connection with the National
Guard in Iowa covered~a period Of
twenty one years, from 1877 to 1898,
and he held various commissions up to
colonel and assistant inspector general.
When named consul at Southampton,
nearly twenty years ago. Colonel
Swain had been publishing the Oska-
loosa Herald for many years. Previ-
ously he published the Grand Junction
Uowa) Headlight and another weekly
newspaper in the northwestern part of
the state.
IA" Swain was connected with the
old Iowa State Register-now the Des
Moines Register-in the days Of James
S. (Ret) Clarkson, first as printer, and
then as city editor.
His friends are not surprised to hear
that he spends much Of his time visit
ing patients in hospitals in England, as
they say he was "a mighty genial,
good natured fellow, glad to cheer up
anyone that needed cheering"

All Americans in
British Hospitals
Visited by S,Da1,,

Correspondence Associated Press.]
Southampton, England, June 11.--Col.
Albert wy Swain, the American consul
at Southampton. probably has visited
more American soldiers in hospitals
than any other man in this country.
For three years he has paid a weekly
visit to every American in any military
hospital within thirty mile radius of
this city and this radius includes over
hundred hospitals, British, Canadian
and American.
Colonel Swain, who is civil war
veteran from Iowa. began his work
long before the United States came into
the war. 1t was only few months
after England came into the fighting
that he heard one day of an American
in British uniform-who had been
brought wounded to British tent hos
pital in a nearby town. He and Mrs.
Swain paid the man a visit that same
afternoon and continued &c pay him
a weekly visit until he was discharged
from the hospital.
From this beginning the work of
Colonel and Mrs. Swain expanded
gradually. They developed a regular
intelligence service" in all the hos
pitfalls in their district, thru which they
were Immediately notified of the arrival
of any man who claimed American
citizenship or who had been a resident
of the United States. The hospital peo-
pie welcomed their work and did all in
their power to assist it.
AS the Canadian troops began to
come over in large numbers, the num-
bers of Americans in the hospitals
around Southampton increased greatly,
and the American Red Cross took cog
nizance Of Colonel Swalm's work by
voting him generous appropriation to
provide various little comforts for the
men whom he visited.
About half of Colonel Swalm's time is
now taken up with his work among
American sick and wounded. During
the month of May he averaged 500
visits per week. Most of the men whom
he visits are still members Of either
the Canadian or British armies, but the
number of cases from the American
army is now approaching half of the
total.
Another part of Colonel SwaIm's VOL
,untary work is the care of American
graves. There are nine American SOL
diers buried in cemetery near South
ampton, and thirty-four others in
cemeteries in nearby towns and viii
lagos. On Memorial day this year
services were held at every one of these
graves and flowers were laid on them
by detachments of American troops. "
