In Clash With TeutOn
Flyer u. S. Birdman Wins;
Battle $4,000 Feet in Air

With the American Army in
France, May 3.-An American avia-
tor has brought down the fourth
German airplane along the American
front northwest of Toul. Lieutenant
James A. Meisner. Bdooklyn, after
a thrilling battle $1,000 feet in air,
shot down an Albatross scout, which
fell in flames.
While he was protecting a photog-
rapher in another plane an enemy
machine came in view. A French
plane started for the German, but
Meisner who was flying high in a
Nieuport chaser, made a dive for
the Germans tail. He opened hIe
with his machine gun while the Ger
man started a spiral nose dive, but
after a few seconds Strengthened out
and started for home.
Meisner followed so closely when
the German Strengthened out that
the latter's wing tore both of the
underwings of Meisner's machine,
but at the same time the American
poured a deadly stream of bullets in
to the enemy plane, which started
smoking. Meisner kept up the fire
until the German machine burst in
to flames and crashed down.
The German fell a mile inside the
German lines to the south of Thiau-
court.

NATION WARNED
MEATLESS DAYS
MAY BE RESUMED
Unless Economy Is Rigidly
Practiced Food Administra-
ton Will Take Action

Washington. d. c.. May 3.-The
Food Administration sounds the
warning that unless there is a more
rigid economy in the domestic con-
sumption of meat it may be neces-
sary to restore meatless days to the
ln5nu.
According to Food Administration
officials, the seasonal decline in the
volume of animals coming to mar
ket is now in progress. This flow
Is expected to gradually decline dur
ing the next few months, and it is
desired that the domestic consump-
ton be curtailed in order to strike
a balance.
The shipments abroad to the
American forces in France and to
the allies are growing steadily larger
and have now reached 75,000,0 900
pounds of meat and meat products
per week. This is in sharp contrast
to the pre-war normal exports of
less than Is, 100000 pounds of meat.
Allies Reduce Consumption
Even with these heavy shipments,
the allies have found 1t necessary to
reduce the consumption of all kinds
of meats and poultry to an average
of one and one-fourth pounds per
WSth per pSISOH. ne TeuuCIlOn III
meat situation was especially mark
ed in France, where the civil popula-
tion is not only limited to three
meatless days each week, but has
only a scanty bread ration. Meat
less days were resorted to in France
because it was not desired to alb
sorb more ships for meat shipments
from the United States at a time
when the ships are badly needed to
move troops.
The per capita meat consumption
in the United States is about three
and one-fourth pounds per week and
this gives latitude for a general re-
duction without any hardship being
worked on any class.
The Food Administration hopes
to avoid meatless days, and urges
that the civil population aid by in
creasing the use of meat substitutes.

Letter From Soldier Read
at War Relief Meeting

EnoIa, Pa. May S.-Encouraging
results are reported for the first of
the FIVE Tobaccoless Thursdays dur
ing the present month. according to
an announcement made last night by
Mrs. H. G. Huber, head of the local
unit of the Pennsylvahia Railroad
Division of Women's War Relief,
which body is conducting the cam
paign to raise funds for the pur-
chase of materials for war work.
The idea of waging the Tobaccoless
project, as originated by Mrs. Huber,
is to have the men. of the vicinity
sacrifice their favorite smoke on the
five Thursdays in May and contribute
the money to the War Relief unit.
At the meeting of the organization
yesterday afternoon in the Y. M. c..
A. Mrs. Huber read a letter from
Wilber A. Gruver, a member of the
Rainbow Division, who is now fight
ing in the trenches, thanking the To-
cal unit for sending him several
knitted articles during the last win
ter.
The letter follows:
Somewhere in France,
March 81, 1918.
My Dear Mrs. Huber:
II received the helmet and wrist
let's o. X. and am taking this op-
portunity to write and thank you
for them. They certainly are a very
useful present, especially in the sort
of weather we have been having this
winter. We are out of the trenches
in rest billets just at present, and
the weather is beautiful and warm,
but there have been times during the
last few weeks when / have been
standing guard at night, looking
over the parapet toward the Boche
lines and wishing, between shivers.
that I had a few extra woolens to
help keep the cold out. 1t is quite
a comfort to know that the folks at
home are behind us. in spite of the
fact there are quite a number of
young men over there who would
look better in uniform. We have
just come in from a fifteen-mile hike
and it is getting late, so will have
to close now, thanking you again for
your gift. Very sincerely,
"Wilber A. Gruver.
