Dead Sitting in Machine.

WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN
/ FRANCE, April determination of
Capt Won Richthofen's body showed
that the German pilot had a bullet
through the heart. It was difficult to
say whether the bullet came from the
ground or from a British machine. In
any event he probably was killed in
stantly.
The spot where he fell was under
the observation of German gunners
who had been watching the conflict
and knew Capt. Won Richthofen was
down. They Immediately placed q
heavy barrage around the. fallen ma
chine. A British soldier crawled out
to 1t and found the aviator dead, stil'
sitting in the seat Of the machine
which was smashed into a thousand
pieces.
The captain was flying without a
uniform. He had an aviator's outfit
over his undergarments. There were
no badges of rank, but a pilots license
found In his pocket gave all the es-
asential facts about this twenty-five
year-old wonder.
Mechanics of an aviation squadron
constructed a coffin, on which they
placed a plate giving the aviator's
name, rank and other data. The body
was carried on @motor car, with which
marched the firing squad and many
officers and men. Six British aerial
officers acted as palIbearers.

Hosiery is one Of the things that
is mighty hard to get and we
would be glad to see de-

In fact it has required an eX-

TO keep our showing of hosiery

great that, in some instances.
we had to draw on orders we

Growing Act of Oppression.

In Everybody's Brand whitlock
quotes details OF the browning act of
German oppression in Belgium. a
deep-laid plot to force civil strife b,
setting brother against brother with
Che hope OF leading the wrecked ma
tion to destroy itself.
The latest and worst OF German
atrocities IN Belgium was always re-
ferred to as la separation administra-
tive, a phrase that hardly illustrates
Its sinister and tragic significance. It
meant more, OF course, than a mere
division Of the prOsaic functions of the
civil administration of the kingdorS:
it involved the establishment Of two
administrations where one had served
before. one that had been in operation
for more than eighty years and was
an integral part OF a most practical
and satisfactory system of govern
ment, based on the old communal sys-
TEN. 1t involved the destruction OF
the work Of long years Of Belgian ef-
fort.
i"It was considered necessary be-
cause it was desired to dismember Bel
GUM; not alone to create dissensions
among the people. not only to divide
them and TO break the national spirit,
hut to destroy the nation: it was a
part of the Unaltered purpose Of the
German military oIigarchy and the
PRn+Germanists to create a Mittel-
europe, purpose from which they had
never swerved for an instant; they
would first separate the Flemish prov
tnces from Belgium, and TILr attach
them to the empire, thus gaining the
great port Of Antwerp. and the Bel
Eian littoral."

HIGHWAY PLAN
MEETS CHECK
$4,000 Appropriation By
Congress Not Sufficient to
Make Improvements.

Unless the Senate or its subcom-
mittee on appreciations changes
the provision in the District Appro-
prtation Bill. which limits street
and alley extensions and improve
ments to $4,000 for the coming
fiscal year. there will be a serious
check to the development of Wash
ington.
The amount specified in the bill
will not come anywhere near the
amount which the District Commits
sioners can use for this purpose.
heretofore there has been no lin
itation upon these improvements,
which include Condemnation pro-
ceedings. In past years the Com
missioners have spent nearly ten
times $4,000 in condemnation pro-
ceedings alone without taking into
consideration the other costs con-
nected with street and alley i'm
proyements.
1t is stated that the $4,000 now
specified. will not meet even ordi-
nary needs of opening alleys and
that it will be entirely insufficient
for the purpose of street extensions,
as planned by the Commissioners.
However. it is expected that the
Commissioners will make a strong
effort to have the provision elm
mated in the Senate. Failing in this,
1t is claimed that the permanent
highway plan. upon which the Com
missioners have worked SO hard,
will receive it's death blow.

jim CROW LAW
AR0USES IRE
A. H. Grimke Makes Viigor-
GUS Protest at Meeting
of Academy Here.

A. H. Grimke. president OF the
American Negro Academy. at the
opening session of the twenty-sec-
ond annual meeting OF the organizs-
ton at the Twelfth street branch
OF the Y. NJ. c. A. yesterday. de-
clared that demand would be that
members of his race be given equal
rights before the law. Two sessions
will be held today.
President Grimke criticised the
so-called "Jim Crow" law. which re-
quires the members of each race to
occupy separate cars when travel
ing in the South. He claimed that
the negroes were Disseminated
against in that accommodations Of
fered in the car set aside for their
use were not nearly so good as in
that furnished the white passengers.
He asserted that inasmuch as the
negroes are charged the same fare
they should at least have as good
accommodations as members of the
white race.
Referring to conditions in wash
ington. the speaker declared that
demand would be made that the
practice of refusing to serve mem
bers of the negro race in hotels and
restaurants be discontinued.

"Y." Cares for Colored Troops.

Writing about the important work
Of the Blue Triangle in the war
Elizabeth Porter Wyckofr says, in
Everybody's, Where colored troops
are stationed, special houses with
educated. charming women Of their
own race as hostesses take care Of
the bewildered mothers and wives
who have journeyed. often on the
last penny of some hard-earned
money, to see their soldiers before
they sail. The colored soldiers
houses are exactly like the other
houses and perhaps even more ap-
preciated by their women wish
tors. Twenty-four-hour duty is not
enough for these colored hostesses.
They manage to slide in classes in
English reading and writing and
sometimes French when the boys
come around and say how much
they would like to add to their
schooling"

Lungs Repaired and Cleaned.

Remarkable lung operations have re-
Gently been performed by Col Pierr,
Duval. OF the French Reserve Medical
Corps, according to the Popular Me-
chanics Magazine. In describing some
OF his work to American army medical
officers at one OF the Southern camps
short time ago, he explained that he
enters the chest cavity by making a
six-inch opening through the ribs.
With the aid OF forceps he then lifts
the lung through the aperture and
lays it on the chest wall. The bleed
ing blood vessels are tied, the outer
surface of the organ cleaned. and the
tracts swabbed out with gauze. Torn
pieces of the organ have been eXcised
and the wound sutured. After this
the lung. has been replaced in its nor
mai position and the aperture closed.
Two-thirds OF the patients who have
been subjected to operations OF this
kind have fully recovered.

RETURN SHIPS,
= OWNERS PLEA
Merchants Want Vessels
Taken Over By U. S.
for War Uses.

American ship owners are demand
ing the return OF their requisitioned
ships from the Shipping Board. and
American ports are insisting that they
be given a big slice Of the new ship
ping built by the government, and
that they be given this at once. The
Shipping Board is besieged with dele
cations from almost every port in the
country, demanding ships.
Tonnage to move goods and food
stuffs to Europe, to South America to
Asia, and even to Africa, is the cry
OF the ship lines and commercial
bodies. Behind this IL the demand OF
American industry for an opportunity
to expand, Of American exporters to
reach the markets of the world.
]. H. Rosseter, Director of Opera
tons, is now having a comprehensive
survey made OF the tonnage require
ments Of every port in the country.
When this is completed, he will have
the data for an ALLEGATION of ships to
the various trade routes. The first ef-
fort will be to return the requisi-
TONED ships so that the various lines
may start IN with the tonnage Of
which they would have been possessed
had not the war made it necessary for
the government to concentrate all
shipping in its own hands.
Releases OF shipping to trade routes
will come gradually. according to a
program now being worked out, and
proportionately to various classes of
commodities and to various ports as
the necessities Of the commodities and
capacities of ports and requirements
OF the country may determine
There will be no discrimination in
favor of or against any section OF
the country" said Mr.. Rosseter. The
requirements OF trade will be consid-
cred as our ships are freed from the
military necessities"
