DOWN BY GERMANS

klrman's Only Wound Was a Hole
Through the Thumb-Yanks Take
Revenge by Destroying
Hun Planes.

Paris. May 22.-Maj. Raoul Lufbery,
the first American ace TO be killed as
the result Of an aerial fight was bur
led on Monday with full military hon
ors by French and American detach-
ments.
With the American Army In France,
May 22-Maj. Raoul Lufbery, VINO has
been regarded as the best aviator In
the American service, was shot down
in flames and killed Sunday morning
by big German trlplane which he
was attacking Lufbery jumped from
his flaming machine when 800 yards
above the ground. He had II victories
to his credit Lufbery's home was in
WalingfOrd, Conn.
The German machine which brought
Lufbery down was armed with two
machine guns, with an operator for
each piece.
Lufherys only wound, aside from
those he received when he crashed to
earth, was a bullet hole through the
thumb. Apparently the same bullet
puncturcd one Of the gasoline tanks
Of his machine.
The German machine was under
heavy antiaircraft fire several times
both before and after the air fight,
and one explosion of a shell upset the
enemy plane, but 1t managed to
Glralghten out again.
II was about ten o'clock In the morn
ing when a German triplane suddenly
descended from the clouds, apparently
because of engine trouble, until It was
only some 1900 meters over the city
Of Toul. The American flyers were on
the alert and some of them headed for
the fighting line to await the enemy on
his return.
Lufbery and the pilot of another ma
chine made after the Germans, who
quickly ran away from the direction
Of the line, the two American ma
chimes following him. Eight miles
away from the enemy's line Lufbery
was seen to attack from under the
tail, but then he drew off, as If his ma
chine gun had damned. Two minutes
later he attacked again from the same
position, and almost Immediately his
machine burst into flames.

London, May PA vessel carry

TO the Central News Agency. 1t Is
understood the ship is proceeding to
Holy Head, Wales. A large crowd
cheered as the ship departed, but the
demonstrators were Dispersed quickly.
The government at last accounts
had the Irish situation well in hand.
A desperate eleventhhOur attempt
to turn the tables on the government

men and women consprators IN the
Gcrman-Irish revolt plot
A crowd of masked men stormed
Barncourt castle, the seat OF the duke
of Albercourt, and made an unsuccess-
full search for arms.
There has been scarcely any blood
shed in the island-wide roundup OF
plotters. Except for the abOrtive raid
of BarncOurt castle, the only disturb
ances reported so far took place at
Skbbereen. where seven Sim Fem
ers resisted constabulary forces
one of the protestants is reported
to have been shot I'm the arm.
Tie Observer commenting on the
Irish situation, says:
"a grave step has been taken in
Ireland for grave reasons. Friday
morning Professor De Valera, presi-
dent Of the Sim Fein party, and many
other extremists were arrested.
"The reason is that these ayowed
separatists and pro-Germans have
once more been in reasonable touch
with the enemy, despite the leniency
with which they were treated after the
last Dublin outbreak.
"Tn view Of Admiral Won Capelle's
assertion that Germany Is assured for
years 10 come Of steady supply Of
U-boats which never cease their eff
forts to get in touch with the Sim
Feiners and separatists, this repeated
treason must be put down with an
unilnchlng hand.
IAN organized nationalist attempt
is being made to mIslead and preju-
dice American opinion with regard TO
the Irish situation. This attempt will
undoubtedly be continued unless IL
is met with stern and cool dlscrimlna-
ton across the Atlantic.
"John Dillon, the irish nationalist
leader, and his friends have made
themselves responsible for a malevo-
lent manifesto. il asserts that the
British government Is not sincere in
It's intentions with regard To the home
rule bill and that the British policy
Is failing in its promise to Ireland.
I'VE hope that President Wilson and
the people Of the United States will
not be mIslead by the Dillon manifesto.
We hope they will set themselves fully
to understand what the British policy
in ireland really is.
ut Is plain thing and an honest
thing and is the only thing compatible,
on the one side, with the war inter-
csts of the allies, while, on the other
side, tending steadily to reconcile two
breeds and crceds.
"Without that, ireland, In wasting
nnd barren agitation, viii plunge from
one unscttlement to another and there
will be no health In her"

RAIL PRESIDENTS
OUSTED BY NJ ADOO
All Roads to Be Managed by U.
S. Directors.
WILL NAME ROAD OFFICERS
Former Heads Of Some Lines viii Be
Appointed to Safeguard the In
terests of the Stock
holders.

Washington, May 22.-Every rail-
road president in the United States was
relieved from active duty as executive
manager of his road by Director Gen
eral McAdoo. He will appoint a fed
era director for each road, responsible
only to the railroad administration.
In many cases the president of the
road may be named federal director
10 safeguard the interests of stock
holders and maintain the individual
fly of each railway, federal directors
whenever possible will be appointed
from among the operating officers Of
the property, the director general an
nounced.
This will avoid disruptlng any roads
working organization unnecessarily.
New Operating Districts.
As another step in the reorganiza-
ton of railroad management. the di-
rector general ordered the creation Of
two operating districts-the Allegheny
region, consisting Of the principal
trunk lines east of Pittsburgh, eXclud-
Ing the New York Central, managed by
c. II. Markham, now regional director
for the South, and the Pocahontas dis
trlct, consisting of the East and West
trunk lines terminating at Hampton
Roads.
McAdco's Statement.
The following statement was issued
by Director General McAdoo:
an view of the direct responsibility
for the operation of the railroads of
the country placed upon Director Cen
eral McAdoo by the act Of congress,
and by the prOclamations of the presi-
dent, he has been unable to escape the
conclusion that 1t will be advisable TO
place in direR charge of each prop
erty for operating purposes a repre-
sentative to be known as the federal
manager, who Will report to the re-
glonal director.
VIII Choose old Officers.
"As far as practicable this federal
manager will be chosen from the OPP
Grating officers Of the particular prop
erty who are entirely familiar with its
employees and It's conditions.
Except so far as may be necessary
to meet the emergency conditions
which compel the government to take
control of the railroads. the federal
manager OF each railroad will en-
deavor to avail himself to the fullest
extent Of the advantages incident to
the operations Of the particular rail-
road as unit and the preservation of
It's identity.
Stockholders Safeguarded.
"This is believed TO be OF essential
Importance, not only to secure the
best results during the period of gov
eminent control, but also to give the
greatest degree Of reinsurance to the
officers and employees that the rail-
road careers upon which they have en-
tered will not be narrowed, but if any
thing. will be broadened and to give
the greatest possible reinsurance to
the stockholders that their just inter
ests in the properties will be respected
and that nothing viii be needlessly done
to have even the appearance Of i'm
pairing their just rights"
