 So said a native of Austria. sol. dier in the Fortieth division, natural ized at special session Of court here recently. He was answering a hypo- thetical question put by A. F. Ed redge, naturalization examiner, as to what he would do if he met his brother, an Austrian soldier. in battle
 When the Austrian and German groups of alien soldiers came before the court. searching questions, differ ent from those put to other aliens were asked them. A typical set, with the answers. follows:
 You were born in Germany"
 Yes"
 Got any relatives in the German army"
 Three brothers"
 "lf you were fighting in the Ameri- can army and met those brothers face to face, what would you do?"
 Il guess I'd have to kill them"
 One man, who said he had three brothers serving in the Austrian army. hesitated long at the last question. After a few moments Mir. Eldredge said, q guess we'll have to eliminate this man"
 The presiding judge intervened. "If he really thinks he can do his duty in battle as an American citizen. even if he meets those brothers, he can be naturalized," he said. 'r+ ~ f>

BR|T|SHFLYERS WORST ENEMY
 IN AIR ATTACK

LONDON, July (by maiD.-fiow a bles on German airmen who had been bombing their airdrome is related by Lieutenant w A. Barnes of the Royal air force
 We had been giving the Hun a lively time" the officer says, bomb. ing his dumps. his billets. communi. cations and towns nightly. When, therefore, he bombed our aerdrome two evenings in succession and com pletely. upset all our arrangements, it was generally agreed that he had scored one over us. Much as his en- terprise was admired. however, 1t was decided to try to check it. The plan evolved was simple. The next day the British machines were flown over to neighboring aerdrome. where it was believed they would be safe from raids. Then they started off just after dusk to make reprisal attack
 We arrived at the enemy's lair" Lieutenant Barnes narrates, lat a most opportune moment. for second relay of his machines were just taxy- ing across the ground to take off in the flare path. In our widest dreams we had not hoped for such luck as this, and every possible advantage was taken of 1t.
 "A few well-directed bombs. dropped right in among the machines that were awaiting their turn to take off. set fire to two and badly damaged others. Another machine was seen to crash whilst actually taking off in the flare path. Some equally well. directed inCendiary bombs set fire to large shed. and then the real fun of the night began.
 By this time the first relay of enemy machines, sent. as we after wards learned, to bomb our own aer- odrome again. began to return. As they were on their own side of the line, and in blissful ignorance of the fate of their aerOdrome, they were flying with navigation lights full on, thereby giving their position away in the darkness.
 Relieved of our bombs, we were able to give fight, and successfully shot down one in flames, while an other was distinctly seen to crash on top of wood.
 Having thus paid our debts in full. We left the remainder to land on a bOmb-riddled aerodrome-no enviable task at night-while We went off home to celebrate a good nights work. with the comforting assurance that the R. A. F. were at least one up on their adversaries' game"

fourth. the Saranac. was grounded
by the gale that swept Halifax after
the explosion there last month and
still is aground, but a contract to
salvage her has been let.
Twenty-one Of the vessels brought
to the Atlantic were old craft in
service on the lakes and the other p
were new vessels Communicated in
the yards Sixteen of the old vessels
had to be cut in two in order 10 get
them through the Welland canal
locks. but it was necessary to cut in
two only two OF the new ships. The
ships were put together again at
Montreal, the work having been
under the direction OF Engineer F.

lecting them. although the law of
1917 says that the attorney general
shall prosecute such cases.
The case OF Mr.. Henry Roberts,
whose office the legislature believed
il had abolished at the 1917 session.
is one that will call for a great deal
OF scrutiny by the democrats when
they get ready 10 open fire. After
being kept in the state house for
months after his office expired. by
reason Of the clause on the appro-
priation act Of 1917. Roberts final
IS was made the victim" Of an
opinion from the attorney general,
I'm which he was read into office
again" and the entire effect OF the
legislatures abolition Of his office
was lost and nullifed
save Abolished Offices.
Roberts salary was cut by the
opinion, It is true, from $4,000 an
nuaIly 20 $4,000, but meanwhile Mrs.
Roberts. who had been chief clerk
in Roberts office prior TO his official
demise" already had been taken
care Of with a job in the office Of
John A. Lapp. former legislative
reference Librarian, whose office also
vas abolished, but who was enabled
10 remain in office anyway TO COM
pile the governors year book. Mr..
Lapp has resigned from the office
and gone elsewhere but the work
Of publishing the year book is con
tiruing. Thus the action Of the leg
islature in that instance also was
lost. Then, when it is remembered
that the woman suffrage law and
the constitutional convention law.
enacted by the legislature. have
been declared unconstitutional by
the supreme court, IL is wondered
why the 1917 legislature met and
cost the state a hundred thousand
dollars anyway. 1t might just as
well have remained in its respective
homes.
Some Of these things will not be
forgotten by the voters, if they are
presented in the proper light by a
reasonably strong democratic state
ticket. If. however, the democrats
continue in the internecine difficult
ties that have lead them into trou-
bic for two years in Indiana, or if
groups of selfish leaders block re-
organization Of the party for politi-
cal war purposes and to achieve
their own ends, then the republi-
cans, who are bound by the tie OF
patronage just now very closely, Will
have little trouble in capturing the
state again, it appears.
Charles A. Greathouse, state
chairman of the democratic party.
this week announced the appoint
ment Of Fred Van Mugs, formerly
Of Anderson. a popular and brilliant
young attorney. as secretary TO The
state committee. Mr.. Van Nuys

is an assured fact that the present

silence is evident on the part Of the
democratic leaders. although party
activity OF certain sorts shows that
there is no lack OF real preparation
going on.
A conference Of certain big lead

at Anderson, Ind, earlier this week.
and almost cOincidently with the
holding OF that meeting, 10 became
public IN Indiana that negotiations

The conference at Anderson was
held by such democrats as Samuel
