FLYERS ARE UNABLE TO
CATCH BASEBALL WHEN
DROPPED FROM PLANE
ELECTRICAL LEAGUE.

NEW YORK, oct. S-Last July at
Kelly field Texas, Cpl Bessolo, a
member of the S19th aero squadron
esta blished a worlds record when
he caught a baseball dropped from
an airplane flying 700 feet above
the ground. Since then several at
tempts have been made by aviators
in camps here and abroad TO equal
or break Bessolo's record, but all
attempts have failed.
Recently in France several Amer
lean fliers tried to smash the Texas
record. on the athletic grounds close
to where the Americans are quar-
tered a 150-foot white circle was
marked, and the contestants, num-
boring so. stood within the white
lines. A few mon ents later "A small
plane. piloted by Lieut.. Coleman,
came into view, flying low over the
field. The machine rose to a height
of $50 feet and then turned SO that
it was directly above the circle, and
then the pilot received a prearranged
signal 20 drop the white base5alls.
After Coleman released his grip on
the first ball it could plainly be seen
g,istening in the sun on its down.

in the circle, faces skyward, moved
about rapidly, first trotting, then
walking, in order 10 judge the ball
as a catcher does a high foul. But
the white object came down too
swiftly, and well inside the circle
untouched. The aviator again flew
over the circle at the same height
and dropped a second and third ball.
and the result was not different from
the first While the second ball
dropped from the plane was on its
way TO the earth, a high wind sud
denly blew and the white object was
carried out of the reach Of those in
the circle.
With the wind increasing the air

which the ball caught by Bessolo
was dropped. From this height sew

AMERICANS TAKE
CHATEL CHERRY
Overcome Stubborn Resist.
anCe and Capture Heights
West of Aire.

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY
NORTHWEST OF VERDUN. Oc:.
s-The Americans achieved another
important though local success Mon
day by forcing the Germans out Of
Chatel Chehry, northwest of Apre-
mont.
Pushing forward, they overcame
the stubborn resistance of the enemy
and settled themselves on the COM
handing heights west of the River
Aire.
Nothing of Importance occurred
on the other portions of the Ameri-
can front throughout today.
There is increasing evidence that
the Germans intend not only to hold
the Kriemhilde position if posi- Bile,
but to force a fight in front of it..
Consequently the Americans are now
lighting in the zone which the Ger
mans have chosen for their main
stand.
The Germans delivered local at
tack in Champagne at daylight east
OF Stennie. They received a counter
thrust at the hands of the Ameri-
cans which those who lived TO tell
the tale will long remember.
The Americans had advance in
formation OF a pending German at
tack and they more than met the
Germans half way. When the Ger
man artillery opened the Americans
were ready and sent into the enemy
line five or more shells for every
German projectile aimed at them.
Among the prisoners taken were
II bewildered pioneers from the
Rheims sector who were serving as
infantrymen for the first time.
AS the German artillery opened
along the line from St. Enne to Or
full several companies Of German
infantry started altering through
the shaggy patches OF pine wood.
Most Of them were seasoned troops.
The French and American artillery,
however. was so effective that these
veterans were thrown into confu-
sion. Many Of them were killed.
The II pioneers were cut off from
the other Germans by machine gun
fire and made prisoner. Six Of them
were wounded.

BEWARE OF THE CROW

NEW YORK. oct. s.-For various
reasons the farmer has always
waved a threatening hoe at the
crow, that imp of blackness with a
preference for cornfelds. But farm

willing to go on the warpath against
this thief of the air. At Dongan

gather, the crow has been placed in
the non essential class. The vote
was unanimous OF late Mr.. Crow

NO GINGERBREAD

With high war taxes of all kinds to meet for the next few years there is an imperative duty upon. state legis- latures to cut out all frills.
 State and county taxes as well as city taxes should be trimmed down to hardtack only and the army of office-holders should be asked to march light.
 Thousands of private citizens to meet war demands and effects on their business and property have had to cut frills and gingerbread.
 Good citizens will pay all necessary taxes but are demanding that the costs be held down in proportionn tc the benefits received.
 Good business men and responsible taxpayers should be placed in con trol of legislatures and the fat-fryins politicians let out.

OLD SOx AND OTHER OLD CLOTHES SELL FOR
 FABULOUS SUMS

Berne, Nov. 29.-According to an Associated Press dispatch in an eX- change, food was so expensive in Vienna, that a meager, unpalatab.e and unsatisfactory meal cost from $4 up. Clothes were so scarce, a mediocre suit cost $500 and shoes $6O to $90. Commonest necessities were so difficult to obtain, one had to stand in line for hours to purchase a tiny portion at an exhorbitant price. Such were affairs in Vienna, just before the conclusion of the armistice, as related to a correspondent by the last American to leave Austria. He is a member of the diplomatic service, who was assigned to remain at the Austrian capital when war was de- clared, and has just come to Switzer- land.
 No story yet told of conditions in Vienna can even remotely approHi mate actual facts, as described by ] this eye witness, whose account was given perhaps unconsciously, a dra- matic climax by the declaration that despite the indescribable sufferings and hardships, Vienna still has horse racing. attended by greater crowds than in peace time. These crowds walk eight miles to the race track and bet thousands of crowns, instead of hundreds, as formerly, in their feverish desire to forget the war.
 Austria quit because it was a physi- cal impossibility to continue longer, declares the diplomat. Not only was Austria without food, but with out the comonest necessities. It faced win ter in almost nakedness, so scarce had clothing become. Before he left Vi enna, the correpondent's informant
 disposed of nearly every article of
 clothing he possessed. The demand
 for clothing may be judged from the fact that he realized from $3 to s4 each for neckties, four year old, and
 which originally cost s1 apiece; s1Ho for ten-year old suit, costing $25;
 s260 for a tuxedo costing $10O; and s100 each for three suits bought in Vienna, three years before, and which
 were shiny and ragged and worn out Old socks, costing s125, and which had been darned, sold for $5 pair An overcoat, two and half years old , which cost $32, sold for s11O. Badly worn and repaired shoes, with cuts : in the upper part, brought s1O; two l shirts costing S4, brought $16 each; l soft collars went for $10. A three yea, old top coat brought $46
