 FLYING IN FRANCE

WITH THE AMERICAN FORCES NORTHWEST OF VERDUN, Oct. Il. -(By the Associated Press)-The latest American ace is Lieutenant William Erwin, who, though an ob- server and therefore not supposed to engage in fighting, has downed his fifth German airplane. Lieutenant Err win was mentioned in army orders which have been read to all the avia- tion units for his latest performance.
 The lieutenant was on an observa tion trip with Lieutenant Esterbrook, who also was cited, when they met an enemy plane and forced it to re- tire. A moment later he met three Germans over Varennes, broke up the formation and forced it to retire.
 Five Victories Confirmed
 Then he ran into two more German machines, directing infantry liason, and finally a biplane over Sommer- ance. Lieutenant Erwin wounded or killed the observer of the biplane and then Esterbrook closed with the plane. It was sent crashing down.
 Returning to his observing mission Lieutenant Erwin carried it out suc- cessfully, but on his return met a single Haldberstadt, which he drove into flight.

Gerard, former ambassador to Germany, took $15,00o worth and then | George Conroy of Pueblo, Colo, a youthful marine who lost part of his l right hand at Chateau Thierry, an. nounced that he would pay cash for three $50 bonds.
 This offer was greeted with tremen- dous applause and the president in. vited the marine to his box and con- graduated him, besides autosraphine tho bonds. Both Mir. and Mrs. Will. son shook hands with Conroy.
 The total sales for cash aggregated moro than $750,000.
 | President Wilson was given a voci. ferrous welcome when he was recog nized upon his arrival and again a the end of the first act.

TRepubIican A. P. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-The senate finance committee in revising -he war revenue bill today approved a business of occupational tax. House provisions placing a tax of $10 on all person "cn- gagged in any trade, business or profeS- sion." whose gross receipts exceed s2,- 800, were adopted after being amended so as to include farmers whom the house had exempted. Announcement was made that amendments which would furnish some relief to farmers would be considered later.
 In considering the special tax sec ton, the committee accepted, with some changes, house imposts upon brokers, proprietors of amusement places, tobacco manufacturers and buyers of new or used automobiles and motorcycles. Sections levying special excise taxes upon the capital stocks ot corporations were temporarily passed over, but these may be taken up Mon- day.
 To Tax Theater Proprietors
 The house tax of $100 on brokers was cut in half by the committee which amended the section so that the sale of a stock exchange seat for less than s2,000 would be exempt from fed eral tax. House schedules taxing pro- prietors of theaters and other amuse' ment places, on the basis of seating ca pacity, as well as the section levyins s200 against circus owners, were ac, cepted The provisions exemptint chautauquas, lecture lyceums, agricul tural and industrial fairs and exhibi l tions under the auspices of religious or charitable associations, as adopted by the house, also were accepted. Tn proposed ten per cent tax on sight-see | ing automobiles, based on their gros receipts, was amended so as to plac a flat tax of s20 on each car seatinl more than seven persons. A new sec ton was added fixing a rate of $10 ol each passenger automobile seating no less than two persons, nor more thal seven, used as public conveyance.
 Imposts against tobacco planufac turers were approved without amend ment.
 House impcsts on new or used auto mobiles other than electric, to be pai by the purchaser, were reduced one half. The committee also reduced tn tax on electric automobiles from s5 pc horsepower, as provided in the bill, t s2 and the weight tax from 5o cents t 25 cents for each 100 pounds.

SUBMARINE SHOOTS AFTER TICONDEROGA
 RAISES WHITE FLAG

it started to shell the vessel with shrapnel. It next fired a torpedo, which struck amidships, bursting the steam pipes. The ship then started to settle. The German craftsmanship was effective and most of the lifeboats were full of holes from shrapnel. At about 7:15 the captain, with IA sol- diers, was put in the last boat on the vessel and the boat was lowered away. That was the only boat to get clear. At that time, there were S5 or 40 men still alive in the ship and the siX-inch gun had been disabled by shell fire. The vessel could not be steered. By order of the executive officer, a white blanket was tied to the after mast near the topmast, but the submarine con- tinued to fire.
 Sub Fires at lifeboats
 "A raft was launched and some 15 men boarded it. It was then about 7:30 and a few minutes later the ship sank stern first. The submarine fired two shots at the only open boat left and then went alongside the lifeboat inquiring for the captain and officers Not finding the captain, they took aboard two seamen. The submarine then picked up the officer from the wreckage and went alongside the raft taking off the first assistant engineer and returning the two seamen to the raft. The men on the raft asked fol assistance, but the submarine ignored the request and cut the raft adrift. The lifeboat drifted near the raft aand five men from the raft were transferred tC the boat, with the idea of tying a line to the raft, but this could not be done and the wind prevented the boat get. | ting back to the raft. There were 2: men in the boat and they sailed ani drifted for four days, being picked III about 2 p. m. on the fourth day by the | steamship MoorisE Prince.
 Missing Officers Named

l'SfSShSa'i SNs 1SdSCd = PARIS, Oct. 1.-The text of to- days French official statement follows:
 East of St. Quentin our troops. now in close contact, have contin- ued to pursue the enemy whose rear guard is offering serious re- sistance. We have advanced six kilometers at certain points. Our lines now run from the east of Se- boncourt to the suburbs of Berno- vile, east of Montigny- n-Arren- airese and thence to Bernot. We have occupied numerous villages including Fieulaine. Neuvillette. Regny, Chatillon- Sur Disc and Thenelles.
 South of tho Disc we have cap- tured Servais and have made pris- oners.
 Between the Ailette and the Aisne, pressure exerted by our troops and by certain Italian units operating in conjunction with us in the vicinity of the Chemin des Danes. compelled the Germans to withdraw beyond the Disc canal. In the course of the day notwith- standing the violent machine gun fire of the enemy we took posses sion of Beaulne-e Chivy, Vrene- yuil Courtonne and Bourg-Et- Comin.
 At the same time French units crossing the river Aisne to the east of Oeuilly drove back the enemy to thenorth and occupied Parguan and Beaurieux.
 Further to the east we delivered a spirited attack to the north of Berry -au-Bac, gaining ground and taking prisoners.
 'In the Champagne the enemy, worn out by heavy fighting which has been going on without inter- ruption since September 26 on the front of the fourth army, began to retreat this morning in the direc- tion of the Aisne. Our infantry, following on the heels of the en- emy rear guards attempting to check our advance, passed through the villages of Liry, Monthois and Challerange and reached the out skirts of Mont Saint Martin and St. Morel.'

 WASHINGTON, Oct. 11.-Ten off, cers and 102 enlisted men were lost, two officers were taken prisoners, and three officers and five enlisted men were saved in the sinking of the Ameri- can steamer Ticonderoga by an enemy submarine in mid ocean September 30, the navy department tonight an nounced. A number of enlisted men of the army were aboard the Ticonde- roga. No announcement has bee0 made as to losses among the soldiers.
 The Ticonderoga, formerly the Ger man steamer Camilla Rickmers, was eastbound and at the time of the sink ing had dropped behind her convoy be- cause of engine trouble. The vessel was torpedoed without warning and shelled after a white blanket was hoisted to the mast.
 The navy department tonight made public the following account of the sinking of the ship. given in the testi- mony of Chief Quartermaster George S. Tapply, who reported at the depart ment today:
 "The attack occurred at 5:20 a. m. September 30. The weather was clear but overcast, the sea moderate. The Ticonderoga was 10 or 15 miles behind the convoy, having been unable to keer up. ...4s
 Captain Badly Wounded
 "Tapply said he was in his bunk wher the general alarm sounded at 5:20 a m. and when he reached the bridge il was all afire. At this time the whistle blew for abandon ship and he helped the paymaster bring aft the captain who was badly wounded. He helped lower the forward boat on the port side and two after boats. The wireless had been carried away, so no messages could be sent out. The guns were fir. | ing all this time. When the subma. rine was sighted it was about 2ot yards off the port bow. The U-boat'. first two shots hit the bridge, setting it afire, and it's third shot carried ava, one of the Ticonderoga's kuns.
 "The submarine submerged for 2l minutes and re-appeared about twt ] miles off the starboard quarter wheI
