lief that the city not only would raise
it's quota, but exceed it by a substan-
tial margin.

Brave Exploits of
Americans.
MAJOR LUFBERY
LOSES HIS LIFE
Heroic Fight of Colored Troop
ers Also Features
the Report.

Washington, May 20.-General Perish
ing's communique today brought its
best story, SO far, OF the valor and sac
ritices OF American blood on the bat
tletields OF France. 1t also gave elo-
quent testimony to the spirit OF de-
mocracy, which knows no race or
color.
1t told OF the gallant death OF Major
Bufbery, premier American ace OF the
flying corps, gentleman globe trotter,
and one OF the first flyers OF the cele-
brated La Fayette esquadrille. 1t told
also OF the heroic fight OF two Ameri-
can negro soldiers. both wounded, who
vithstood a raiding party OF twenty
Germans and saved comrades from sur
prise and capture.
Notwithstanding these two incidents
General Pershing referred to yesterday
as a quiet day"
The communique follows:
Headquarters American Expeditionary
Forces, May 10, 1918.
Section A. Aside from the activity
Of the air forces on both sides, the day
was quiet at all points occupied by
our troops. Our aviators brought down
two hostile machines.
Section B. Reports in hand show a
notable instance of bravery and devo-
tion shown by two soldiers of an Amer
cfan colored regiment operating in a
French aRefnre dayAisht on
May Is, Private Henry Johnson ana
Private Harry Roberts, while on sentry
duty at some distance from one an
other, were attacked by German
raiding party estimated at about
twenty men, who advanced In two
groups. attacking at once from flank
and rear.
Both men fought bravely in hand
to-hand encounters. one resorting ia
the use OF a bolo knife after his rifle
iammed and further fighting with bay
onet and butt became impossible. There
is evidence that at least one and prob
ably a second German was severely
cut third is known to have been
shot.
Attention is drawn to the fact thai
the two colored sentries were first
attacked and continued fighting afte,
receiving wounds, and despite the uss
of grenades by a superior force. They
should be given credit for preventing
by their bravery, the capture Of any Of
our men. Three of our men were in
jured, two by grenades. All are recov
ering, and two wounds In two cases
are slight.
Major Lufbery was killed In fligh
during which he had been in combat
He was seen to fall from his machine
which itself fell a short distance from
him. IIe was possibly wounded or deat
before he fell. Earlier reports statet
that he. was at the time engaged In
a long running fight and was nyins
upside down at 1000 feet.
Last night one OF our aviators en-
gagged two German planes and brough
them down in the vicinity OF Anre
mont.
This morning Lieutenant : Douglas

ST. MARCARET'S GUILD
PICKS A GOOD ONE

Pauline Frederick, the Paramount
star who is to appear at the Royal
theatre in MADAME jealousy" is ex-
tremely patriotic. She has not only in
vested heavily for herself in both the
Liberty loans, but has also sold many
hundreds of thousands of dollars
worth of the bonds to others. On one
occasion at Lord and Taylor's great
Fifth Avenue department store, New
York city, she appeared in person and
sold over twenty thousand dollars
worth of bonds in a few minutes.
MADAME Jealousy" which is Miss
Frederick's very newest photoplay,
was written by George V. Hobart, well
known as the author of Experience"
'Every Wife," and other allegorical
plays. The cast includes Thomas
Meighan, Frank Losee and other pop
ular players.
This great picture will be shown at
the Royal theatre Thursday night for
the benefit of St. Margaret's guild.

POLITICIANS LOOK
FOR SPEEDY PASSAGE
OF FEDERAL AMENDMENT

In a statement just issued the Ma
tional American Woman Suffrage as
ISOLATION regards the prospects for the
passage of the federal suffrage
amendment by the senate at an early
date as assured. Meantime the press
dispatches from Washington point out
that President Wilson is credited with
having swung two southern senators
who had been rated as opposed, into
the yes" column, thus completing the
necessary two-thirds quota which will
pass the amendment and place it be-
fore the states for ratification. The
dispatches state that the names of the
two senators will probably not be an
nou1ced, but that at the rollcall they
will be found on the right side.
Democratic and republican party
leaders are in spirited rivalry to carry
off the honors for the passage. of the
federal amendment. The influence of
such vote would be tremendous in
the coming congressional elections as
every astute politician knows.
Chairman Will H. Hays, of the re-
publican national committee has
been in consultation with the suffrage
leaders of the National American
Woman Suffrage association in Wash
ington during the last few days.
Il hope it will go through" is the
way Chairman Hays expresses his at
titude toward the amendment. ''I'm
strong for suffrage think women
in politics will purify the game, and
l am delighted to see that things are
moving so fast in the right direction"
Senator Smoot, of Utah, says there
is no doubt Of the passage of the
amendment. He prophesies that the
republicans will vote three to one
for it.
Senator Calder, Of New York, in a
strong speech in favor Of suffrage on
the floor of the senate, in which he re-
ferred to the struggle by the women
for the enfranchisement as a fight for
democracy, said "The final step, so
far as federal action is concerned,
am sure will eliminate in success at
the present session. There are those
who claim that this is no time to con-
slider the question of woman suffrage;
but the question of suffrage at this
time is not only right to woman,
but it is also a question of war time
efficiency for country struggling in
the throes of a great world war"

REPAIR THE WEST COAST ROAD.

Tampa's excellent newspapers could
render great service to the citizens of
that city by urging that the West
Coast road be put in good repair. 1t
seems that no help is to come soon
through Hillsborough's road bonds be-
cause they cannot be sold at present.
But the summer time is coming and
the Tampa people want an outlet to
the Pinellas beaches. The West Coast
road-at least that portion of it in
Hillsborough county-is in bad condi-
ton, and however inviting may be the
Clearwater, Indian Rocks, Indian and
Haven beaches the Hillsborough part
of the road thereto is forbidding.
If the Hillsborough commissioners
haven't the money to repair this road,
the influential Tribune and Times
could raise the necessary funds by pri-
vate subscription. The cost would not
be much-and the people of Tampa
would have somewhere to go besides
home.-Clearwater Sun.
The Tampa Tribune and Times
could, if they would get together on
this proposition, get the road paved.
But they seem to be just like ordinary
human beings-fghting each other in
stead of pulling together.
There are many disagreeable tasks
in life but when they confront you
the proper thing to do is to carry them
out.
