airplane in fight north of Chateau
Thierry. Lieutenant Roosevelt with
three other pilots was flying at q
height Of 5000 yards eight miles inside
the German lines when the machines
became separated. Soon after Roose-
velt saw three planes which he thought
were his companions, and started to
join them. He was approaching the
machines from the rear when he saw
his mistake, for the planes were Ger
man. The American opened fire and
after 80 shots tracers penetrated the
fusilage of the nearest German ma
chine and it went into spinning nose
dive. falling through the clouds 1000

Washington, July 11.-Further evi-
lence that President Wilson is matur-

Russia to drive out the Germans was
furnished when II was learned on
Tuesday that he invited Viscount lshii
the Japanese ambassador, to the
White House for conference on the
question.
1t is surmised in some diplomatic
quarters that President Wilson re-
queSted Ambassador Ishfi to acquaint
his government with the fact that the
United States favors the principle OF
military assistance to Russia. 1t Is
believed the president also wants TO
obtain from Tokyo che japanese gov

part Of Japan. including the number
Of troops which might be engaged In
an expedition into Siberia, the dis
tance 1t might penetrate, tho extent
Of Chinese coOueration, and what col

ment is desirable.

London, July 1O.-As soon as EN-
peror William heard of the assassina.
ton of Count Won Mirbach, the Ger
man ambassador to Russia, according
to an Exchange Telegraph dispatch
from Russia, he ordered Secretary Won
Kuehlmann to break off negotiations
with the Russian delegation In Berlin.
A strong guard has been placed be-
fore the house Of the bOlshevik ambas-
sador I'm Berlin, as it is feared the pop
ulace OF the capital will inaugurate
Gnti-Russian demonstrations.
All the German newspapers declare
the murder of Count Won Mirbach must
inevitably have great influence on
Russo-German relations.
Lenine, the bolshevik premier, Is en-
deavoring to placate the Germans by
appointing an "eXtraordinary commits
sion of investigation" to probe the
death OF Count Won Mirbach. The COM
mission is headed by "COmrade Pc

Meanwhile Berlin is doing It's utmost
to make capital out of the murder OF
