SIXTEEN BRITISH AIRMEN
ARE LOST IN HEAVY MIST

LONDON, April io,-Perry Robin
son. writing to the Daily News Mon
day, sent the following despatch from
British correspondents headquarters;
Day before yesterday (Saturday)
was bad day in the air, when six
teen OF our machines failed to return.
We have had the same thing before
during Flanders fighting on u some
what similar scale. In the early part
Of the day the visibility was good and
the air perfectly clear up TO 1000
feet and more. Then suddenly mist
came driving before a rising westerly
wind making the whole air dense
down to within 400 feet OF the ground.
Losing their way and butfetlng
against wind which rose to gale our
men came struggling in some hours
after they were due, and sixteen did
not come back at all that day. Only
a few days before, however When
somewhat similar conditions occurred
out OF thirteen who failed to return
the first day, five afterward came In,
having landed at remote spots whence
they could not communicate with
their commands.

icanism against Basil Ruysdael. grand
opera singer. and Henry Lampe. for

both members were exonerated and ro-
instated.
The hearing began at 8 p. NJ. and
lasted until early this morning. After
the action Of the board Ruysdael stated
that he would instruct his attorney TO
withdraw the $50, 900 suit against Robert
Weld for defamation OF character and
formally withdrew counter charges in
stltuted In the club.
Upon petition signed by 200 members
special meeting was called for next
Monday night at 3 o'clock for the pur-
pose OF discussing what steps are to be
taken regarding pro-German and enemy
alien members.
The decision OF the Board OF Gov
ernors completely eliminates the stigma
cast upon the two members some time
ago. when charges and counter charges
Of pro-Germanism were made.
