ANY ONE CAN BE AN EDITOR.

Ever sit at typewriter and try to
see what matter of public interest you
could write about, how you could say
something nice about this one, and
something nice about that one, give
some ideas on a popular topic, make
some suggestions which might be car
ried out by some one in the commun-
ity, who had the time and money to
do so, smooth over some ones mis-
takes which had reached the public
car, try to explain why such and such
Things are not so, make a hero or he
rome out of some one who has done
something little unusual, give the
roper space to the life of departed
& tizen, laud the beauty and grace of
Z. bride, see that every organization
that has met has its name mentioned,
give the names of all the new officials
of any order, announce the events
which are planned, write up the pro-
grams of entertainments, omit every
thing that should be omitted from
publicity, write everything which ev-
erybody wants you to write about, and
withal make no enemies?
Then you're partly fitted to be an
editor of a small-town newspaper

made a quick turn, drove straight at
him and. sent him down within mile
| of the spot where his two comrades
had hit the earth.
This ended the first engagement.
Several German observation ballons
had been brought down by French avn
ators. Lieutenant Fonck returned to
his camp and waited three quarters OF
an hour for the Germans to learn of
! that fact and send their chaser planes
Ito the scene of action. Then, with
two companions, he went out to meet
them. Above Montdidier, he came
upon German plane which was reg
i'ulating the enemy artillery fire ,dived
1000 feet and sent the German plane
ito earth with few shots. Taking
refuge in a cloud Fonck lost his two
companions. Emerging from the mist
to start for his own lines, Lieutenant
Fonck saw before him four single
scatter Pfalz airplanes. protected, at
| 1 800 feet above, by FIVE German Al
batrosses, making for the French
trenches with the conveying planes
leading. In ten-second fight, Fonck
overlook the rear Pfalz machine, fired
and saw it fall. At the sound of his
gun, the two Pfalz machines in the
center of the group turned, one to
, the right and the other to the left, to
attack the daring Frenchman. But
Fonck drove his airplane swiftly
ahead, and overlook the fourth Pfalz
machine A few shots under its tail
sent it down in flames and the victor
flew off to safety, leaving the two 9TH
err Pfalzs and five Albatrosses wonder
| ing what had struck the squadron.
The air fights were staged from d.
600 to 5000 feet up. The first Ger
man fell at 4:05 p. m. and the last at
E6:55 p. m.
Lieutenant Fonck used an ordinary
l Spad machine equipped with two rap
! id-fre guns. He has been pilot since
I1s15, passing into chaser squadron
about year ago. On the day follow
ing his six victories he was made an
officer of the Legion of Honor and

world is not worth living in if they

In the opinion of the people of this
country and in my opinion, Germany
is governed by clan possessed of an
uncomfortable desire to CONQUER. or to
put It better, to govern the world and,
N order to attain this object its peo-
pc vii stop at nothing. They violate
the neutrality of countries like Bel
glum, they massacre the noncombat-
ants, they conduct the most barbarous
submarine warfare, sink unarmed
merchant vessels, fight behind the
lines of their armies through espion-i
age, lying and intrigue.
This is no way to fight and we win
show them what Kultur' Iaeans when

Paris May ID Correspondence of
The Associated Press Lieutenant
Rene Fonck, the young French "ace
of aces" fought three distinct battles
in the air when, on May 8, he brought
down six German airpianes in one day.
His record never has been equalled in
taviation.
AL three engagements were fought
within two hours In all Fonck fired
only Sc shots, an average of little
more than bullets for each enemy
brought down; an extraordinary rec
ord in view of the fact that aviators
often fire hundreds of rounds without
gripping their opponent.
The first fight, in which Lieutenant
-Fonck brought down three German
machines, lasted only minute and a
half ard the young Frenchman fired
only twenty-five shots.
Although Lieutenant Fonck is off
cially credited with bringing down AZ
enemy airplanes in all, military avia-
tors believe that he has sent down at
least 60 machines. He is twenty-four
years old, is cool in battle and handles
both machine-gun and airplane with
great skill.
F'onck was leading two other COM
panions on a patrol in the Moreuil;
Montdidier sector on May s when the
! French squadron met three German
two-seater airplanes coming toward
them in arrow formation. Signaling
to his companions, Lieutenant Fonck
dived at the leading German plane
and, with a few shots, sent 1T down in
flames. Fonck turned to the left and
the second Hun followed in an effort
! to attack him from behind but the
Frenchman made quick turn above
him and with five shots sent the sec
ond Hun down to death. Ten seconds
had barely elapsed between the two
victories.
:. The third Hun headed for home but
when Liextenant Fonck apparently
gave up the chase and turned back TO-
wards the French lines, the German
went after him and was flying paral-
lei and little below, when Foncl

Interesting Life Story Of

London, May 3. -(Correspondence

George Tubou Il, of Tonga, whose
death is announced, was the last of

islands. He succeeded his great-grand-
father in 1893. At the time he was a

ing than of the science of government.
Physically, however, he filed the post
of king to perfection, being over
feet in height and weighing nearly 275
pounds.
During his period as king he OBJ
stinately refused to keep within his
official income of $4,000 a year, and
he always succeeded in inducing the
British treasury officials to endorse
his overdrafts. His promises to repay
these advances were heartfelt at the
time, but never materialized into any
thing substantial.
| For the first eight years of his reign
he refused to marry, and he had many
a quarrel with his chiefs and mobiles
on this subject. After throwing over
the princesses whom they picked for
him one after another, he made his
own choice, offending the nobility by
picking out a girl of the common peo-
pie named Lavinia, whose daughter
now succeeds to the throne Therno-
bility hoycotted the king for a. long
time after the marriage.

BRIDE Of MONTH
BRINGS SUIT TO
ANNUL MARRIAGE

Man and wife for less than month.
Edwin J. Weisskoff and Helen Weiss
koff. formerly Miss Helen Taylor. of
this city, today have their troubles
before the District supreme Court.
Was their marriage license obtain
ed by fraud?
Was Helen, a former telephone
ODerator here. of age when their mar
riage took place in Baltimore April
16 last"
Did she misrepresent her age TO her
husband-tO-be
Did Helen consent to the marriage:
All these questions are raised az
the result OF the wife's ssuit for an
nulment OF the marriage. She AYERS
that the license was obtained by
fraud and that she was not OF age.
WeisskOff today filed his answer
and swears that his wife at the time
OF their marriage was actually seven
teen years old. but had told him her
age was eighteen He alleges that
she was employed at the time by
the Potomac Telephone Company as
an operator, and that the company
requires all operators to be at least
eighteen years old. To strengthen
his contention, Weisskoff encloses a
copy OF his wife's birth certificate
which gives her birthday at May Il.
1901. and declares that their marriage
was performed with her fun consent.
Weisskoff asks the court to dismiss
his wife's suit.
