DROVE An AEROPLANE
THROUGH BIG BALLOON

ROME, Italy, February 11.-How
an aviator feels when he drives an air.
plane through flaming observation
balloon is described by Giovanni An
cillotto, an Italian airman who de-
moIished an Austrian balloon in that
fashion in an air conflict at Rustinge
The balloon was guarded by three
Austrian chaser airplanes. These
were engaged by three Italian fight
ing machines while Ancillotto dived
straight at the balloon, at which he
opened fire with incendiary bullets
at a range of about twenty yards. AT
the same moment he suddenly realized
the danger he was in, for it was clear
lv impossible for him to avoid col
ssion with the now flaming balloon.
Il thought to myself, it means
DEATH" he says in his report. Il
closed my eyes and waited. Barely a
second passed before I felt shock;
there was a sound of tearing, flames
rushed across my face. I opened my
ewes and found myself few dozen
wards from the ground.
"I started my engines, steadied
tho machine. glanced at the wings
in fear that their support would fail
me. They were trembling as though
broken and were carrying some tat
tered pieces of stuff. But. they held;
the propeller turned, and the airplane
gradually gaining speed glided toward
the Italian lines. A few miEutes later
7 alighted at my camp"
Examination of the machine showed
that it had passed clean through
the burning balloon. In the shock OF
collision the wings had actually been
broken In the middle, but were seld to-
gether by the support of the machine
gun.

tration of alien enemies here until and
including Wednesday, February 18th.
The order is signed by ]. D. Davis,
United States marshal for this district,
acting under authority of the depart
ment of justice.
Up to this time no alien enemies
have been registered here. Chief
Johnosn and Postmaster Davenport
conferred recently upon the status of
a number of Syrians resident in this
county, and it was decided these do
not come within the definition of
Turkish citizens" as defined by the
registration act There are a number
of Syrians resident here all of whom
are known to the authorities, but ow'
ing to the international status of their
country, which is part of the Ottoman
empire, yet guaranteed certain rights
by other powers, it was decided these
residents are not required to register
as enemy aliens. Practically all of
these Syrians are engaged in business
in Americus, or earn their livelihood
by trading in the country.

/. DIED DOING HIS DUTY .
Colonel Reeves Writes OF Death OF
Theodore L. MeNeely. 800.

A report of the death of Theodore
L. McNeely, a soldier in France, re-
ceived some time ago, has just been
confirmed by a letter from Col. James
H. Reeves. McNeely was with the
headquarters company of the 363rd
all-Kansas regiment, and was killed
in the St. Mihiel battle. His wife,
after receiving notice of his death,
heard later rumors that led her to be-
Iiev the notice might have been a mis-
take. Her inquiries thru Governor
CAMPER brought the following letter
from the colonel:
Private McNeely, who was brave
and honorable soldier, was killed at
Zammes est. Mihiel salient) Septem-
Der 16. He was killed instantly by
direct hit from a shell, and there was,
of course. no suffering. He was one
of the scouts and snipers of the 353rd
battalion, stood high as soldier. and
was killed while in the discharge OF
his duty, the most honorable death a
soldier can die. He was on the front
line of the most advanced and exposed
position we, were then holding. sub
jected to constant severe shelllng, ana
our losses were heavy.
"I am sorry that nothing more In
tie way of information can be given,
but we are fortunate to know when
the men are killed and be assured OF
the fact that they receive proper
Christian burial"
McNeely is survived by his wife, his
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Frank M. Nc
Nicely, of SIT Lime street; a sister,
Mrs Joseph Mueller. of Kansas City:
two brothers, Hollis McNeely of Cali
fornia, and John r.. McNeely, who is
in the navy. Before going into the
army he was a plumber in Topeka.

TASK now ENDED
Four Minute Mems Organiza-
ton win Disband TomorrOw.
Speakers Have Done q Treat
Work in the War.

Tomorrow evening will mark. the
passing of one of the greatest civilian
organizations born of~the turmoil OF
war. The Four Minute Men are to
make their last public speeches in
the theaters of the nation-this time
not as urgent summoners of patriotic
support of some war work campaign
or government loan, but as historians
condensipg, the momentous events OF
four years of war into as many MIN
utes of spoken thought.
In every war work campaign ana IN
every liberty loan drive the Four Min
ute Men bore large share OF the pub
licity attack. The Four Minute Men
were the NrDouthpieces OF Uncle sam.
1t was to them that the nation looked
for the true Interpretation of the vari-
Gus phases of the war. 1t was to
them that the government looked to
educate the people of the united
States to a proper realization that the
world war was a war of peoples and
nations and not of governments.
Did n Great Work.
The Four Minute Men delivered the
goods, united America in the common
cause, put over the dozen or more war
WORK campaigns, and bred into the
very bones of a great nation true I'M
Outstanding of the emotion of patriot
ism and self sacrifice.
According to reports from other
states Kansas is placed well up toward
the top Of the list of states having the
most complete organization of Four
Minute Men. Due to the untiring
energy Of Curtis Myers, state chair
man, there is hardly a county in Kan
sas but has a corps of the speak
ers ready to answer every call of the
government. Moreover, a fair per-
centage of the men enrolled in the
government service as Kansas Four
Minute Men have done valiant service
in other states and communities where
there was no organization to speak of.
Kansas Four Minute Men have held
the stage in the big metropolises of
the east; they have carried the mes
sage of the war into the sun baked
plains towns of the southwest; they
have spoken of war and patriotism in
hamlets perched high on the back
bone of the continent.
Live County Organization.
The Shawnee county organization
with Marco Morrow as chairman, has
contributed generously to all of these
achievements and has, in addition,
furnished men to take charge of ma
tional war work publicity campaigns.
In every Topeka theater tomorrow
evening four minute man will make
his farewell speech to the audiences
which have needed the wartime ad-
monitiOns so well. Then comes the
honora BILE discharge, but not oblivion,
for in the archives of the government
and in the memories of the people
the deeds of the Four Minute Men will
live for years.
