AIR BATTLE STAGED FOR THE BENEFIT OF A MOVIE MAN.

WITH THE AMERICAN AERIAL FORCES IN FRANCE, Oct. 31.--t Correspondence of The Associated Press) An air battle between the French Spad, with Lieutenant Ed big German biplane and little ward V Rickenbacker, an Americar ace, in the French machine wa staged over an American aerodrome the other day for the benefit of an army photographer. The German machine was . big Hanover which had landed within the American lines because of motor troubles. The mo tion pictures were made by Captain Edwin H. Cooper in the observers seat of an American Liberty machine Lieut. Horne c. Haylor of Chicago was in the pilots seat of the Hanno yer machine.
 At first Rickenbacker's Spad anG the German biplane were Warily cir cling around and around while the Liberty machine encircled both with Captain Cooper grinding the crank of his motion picture camera. During the manoeyre Rickenbacker's ma chine was rattling merrily while the guns of the German machine also were working vigorously.
 The machines had worked up to a considerable height and attracted the attention of aviators in nearby aerodromes who were not in the SC cret and who were amazed to see a lone German biplane circling over an American pursuing group in broad daylight. Four big machines from these other camps come over to see what it was all about ready to put the, finishing touch to the German if their help was needed. By signal ing they were warned that it was all a game and they sailed away again. Suddenly the German machine sweryed and the figure of man came burtling to the ground. A groan went up from the lips of, one of the mechanics who had been delegated to fetch the dummy figure for it had struck the ground nearly a mile from the field This ended the fight"

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Nov. 29.-- Typical of the experiences of United States army ayiators, whose field-to- field flights ill the central and east ern part of the country are expected to make up an interesting chapter Tn the history of American aviation, is that of Captain F, M. Bartlett who flew from Fort Scott, H., to Kelly Field, Texas, 100 miles, through sun shine and storm.
 This story of Captain Bartlett s difficult flight is given by the United States committee on public informa- tion.
 He covered the 341 miles between Belleville and Clark field, Memphis, Tennessee, in three hours and five minutes at an average speed of no miles an hour, favored by a stiff wind from the Great Lakes and at an altitude of between 1000 and 5000

Dear Nary
 After weeks, that have seemed years, the influenza quarantine has been almost lifted-that is all but the ordinance requiring everybody to wear mask. If no new case ap- pears before Sunday, even that will be lifted and won't it be grand and glorious feeling to look the world in the face again and know at whom you are looking!

 The making of the first American flag. Gen. Washington is seen com missioning Betsy Ross to make the flag and she is seen at work in her home fashioning the first star span gled banner, The exterior and in terior of Betsy Ross's home have been exactly duplicated for this pro duefion. The costumes seen in the production are, of course, exact re productions of the costumes worn by the people of the period and they add much to the interest of the picture One of the notable things about this picture is the truly wonderful char acterization that Alice Brady gives to the role of Betsy Ross.

Loan Problems

Tho security markets have shown
remarkable tirmness under very trying
conditions. The chief explanation lies
in the soundness of our financial posi-
tion and the great strength Of the
banking situationi The overshadowing
factor in the money market is the
third Liberty Loan and the peculiar
conditions which must be met by the
government in insuring a quick market
for what will probably be the largest
loan ever fioated in the United States.
The decline in the price of the per
cent bonds put out in October, together
with the broad public demand for
short term securities and the high
price paid by corporation borrowers,
indicates some of the problems which
are being considered by the Treasury
officials in arranging the details of this
extraordinary offering. The hopes and
fears of more than 100,000,OO0 red
blooded Americans are bound up in the
success of this great undertaking.
While it will be necessary for the
banks to underwrite the loan, it will
be equally necessary,s and of even
greater Importance, for the American
people to buy these bonds for income
producing purposes William 4. Laav.

Cotton

The cotton market was quiet yester-
day, with fluctuations corrcspondingly
narrow and irregular. After selling at
29.4O early May contracts rallied to
29.60 and closed at 29.4S. The general
list closed 5 points lowed to 6 points
higher. The census report on supply
and distribution for January produced
feeling OF confidence among holders,
and there were reports that electrically
driven mills in the Carolinas would be
permitted to work overtime in order
to catch up on government orders. On
the other hand, Boston advices said
that heatless days would probably con-
tinue in all the New England States.
The census report showed domestic
mill consumption of 4,083 bales for
the month Of January, compared with
60l ,38l for the same month last year.
Considering the curtailment due to the
fuel situation, this showing was con-
sldered favorable, indicating an out
turn per working day that promised
large figures during the spring and
summer. The figures on exports also
compared bullishly with figures pub
llshed daily during the month. Accord
ing to the Census Bureau, 461 ,G67 bales
were exported for January, making
2,SO1 ,S58 for the first six months Of
the season, against 1861 ,O57 last wear.
The aggregate of the regular daily re-
ports published in the trade since the
beginning of the season, up to the close
OF business last night, was only 2,55O,-
327 bales, or below the official returns
up to January 81. Southern spot mar
kets, as officially reported, were un-
changed to 90 points lower. generally

London Discount Market Disorgan-
ized.-LONDON, Feb. 14.-The dis
count market was disorganized to-day
owing to the reduction of the interest
rate on Treasury bills to 31a per cent.
This was done to discourage further
purchases and to divert funds into
war bonds. The effect was shown ON
the Stock Exchange by an immediate
hardening in gilt-edged securities, but
business did not materially expand in
other directions. The tone in the rest
OF the market was irregular. Oil, tin.

russian issues, mines and home rails
were weak.
