Madon Has Odd Career.

Lieut.. Madon was an army aviator be-
fore the war and was dismissed from
the French, aviation corps Tor having
flown over German territory in time OF
peace. Reinstated in August. 1914, he
distinguished himself in a number OF
reconnoissances and bombardmehts and
was one of the first aviators to venture
night flying. Lost in the fog after a
raid into Germany on April 5, 1915, he
landed by mistake in Switzerland and
was interned. On September II. 1915, he
succeeded in escaping and returned to
France. where, after making many vain
demands. he was finally permitted to
return to the front. On September 2s.
1916, he destroyed his first German ma
chine and on January 81. 1917. his NTH.
Madon narrowly escaped being taken
prisoner by the Germans on March IL.
1917. He attacked and shot down hob
tile, mac chine beyond Rheims, but during
the encounter his motor was damaged
and he was forced to land within the
German lines.
He was busy repairing his machine
when he heard a noise. Looking around
he saw some 400 yards away a German
patrol coming toward him. He sprang
into his aeroplane and, fortunately, the
motor began working regularly. Guid-
ing his machine with one. hand, with the
other he operated his machine gun
a asainst the foiled Teutons. who riddled
his aeroplane with bullets, but failed to
strike a vital part. Madon regained his
home field. r--t --s,.,

May Be a Guynemer.

Fonck. who is but twenty-three years
old has had a meteoric career as
chasing pilot. Six months ago he un-
known as nghtjng aviator; today he 10
regarded as a future Guynemer. The
latter's slayer. the German Wisaemann.
was shot down by Fonck September 20.
1917. Fonck is one Of the most modest
men 1 have ever met: he is almost
timid. One look into his eyes. how
ever, and one realizes that he ID in the
presence OF a great and dauntless
fighter.
This fearless youth, scarcely as old
as the average American university
senior, entered the aviation as pilot OF
an artillery fre regulating aeroplane.
After more than 500 hours of flight
over the lines and two victories over
German planes that had attempted to
interfere with his work, he was sent
into the chasing aviation. Eight days
later, on May l3. 1917. he was cited in
the official communique as having de-
stroyed his fifth aeroplane. Foncks
nineteenth victim fell october 27. AL
though he has had hundreds of couas
bats, he has never received one bullet
in his machine. and his comrades COM
slider him almost invincib1e.

Comedy.

The Halton Powell Company
last night opened a weeks engage
ment at the Washington Theater, gave
the good sized audience which greet
ed them something we'll worth their
money in laughs. The company Is
we'll balanced and the comedians are
certainly laugh provoking.
The show had been boosted to the
skies by Jean Jordan their popular
advance man and the audience was
not disappointed in that they were
given a fine little show which enter
tanned them during all of the evening.
The fact that women were admit
ted free with full paid admission, no
doubt, caused the audience to be very
large but the show was of such a
character and the company SO pleased
that 1t is expected that most every
evening this week the Theater will be
well filled with those anxious for
something light and funny.
The chorus is made up of only a
few girls but they can dance well
and are fairly good singers. Some
specially attractive specialties will be
introduced during the week.

AS A DESERTER
Maysville Negro Fined on Brench Of
the Peace Charge and Bond He
Skipped is FOrfeited-Officers
VIII Investigate His Sta
tus In the Army.

Lee Price, notorious local negro
man who recently returned from the
Kentucky penitentiary where he had
served a term for having cut his wife
seriously and who some months ago
was indicted into the military SER
vice at Portsmouth, Ohio, was again
the center of attention at the local
Police Court yesterday afternoon.
Price, according to the evidence, re-
turned home on Sunday morning from
Portsmouth to which city, he said he
had come from Camp Sherman when
the military authorities there dismiss
ed him on account of being physical
ly unfit, and Immediately started
rough house in the East end again
threatening to cut or shoot his wife.
A shot gun was brought into play
but was not used, however stones flew
thick and fast according to the wit
nesses.
Price was fined ten dollars and
costs on the Breach of the Peace
charge by Judge Whitaker who an
nounced that a one hundred dollar
bond which Price skipped in Police
Court several months ago would al
so be forfeited and Price will begin
work paying the bond forfeiture as
soon as his fine is worked out
The authorities are not inclined to
believe Prices story about being re-
lieved from the army on account of
being physically disqualified. They
are of the opinion that Price has
taken French leave from camp and
have started an investigation.
