PARIS. Aug. 22 Correspondence OF
the Associated Press. with forty-one
official victories to his credit. which in
the French service signifies that he has
brought down probably double that
number. Capt. Madden, the second
French ace, Is reputed to have the most
unique tactics and for adrolt manoeuv-
ring is said to be second only to the
first French ace. Rene Fonck.
Madden takes occasional holidays far
over the German lines. Ills particular
hobby is TO settle near some enemy
airdrome and to play around II until he
has aroused his boche adversaries.
They start after him. thinking that he
has been brought there by engine
trouble. and just at the moment when
they are ready to pounce upon him he
showers them with "A load OF incendiary
bullets from his machine guns.
This method forces the boche avl-
ators TO earth. either willingly or by
force OF gravltation. 1t is said that his
record OF forty-one victories was made
possible largely by these tactics.

BODY OF THE CAR
HURLED TO BOTTOM
OF DEEP COAL MINE
Czecho-Slav Officer Brings
Details of Death of Nicholas
to u. S. Ambassador.

ARCHANGEL. Friday. Aug. 16 (By
the Associated Press) No trace was
found OF the body OF the former En-
peror Nicholas OF Russia when
Czecho- Slovak forces captured Ye-
katerinburg on July 26. This infor-
nation was brought to David r.
Francis. the American Ambassador,
by a Czecho Slovak army officer,
who has arrived at Archangel with
dispatches from the American Con-
sui at Yekaterinburg after a long and
perilous trip through two lines OF
hostile Bolshevik troops.
The officer said he had no definite
information as to the disposition OF
the body of the ex-Emperor, but the
most credited report was that 1t had
been taken to the deepest pit in the
Yekaterinburg coal mine and there
destroyed. The officer was unable to
learn the whereabouts OF the deposed
rulers family except that he knew
they had been spirited away from
Yekaterlnburg.
The execution of the former EN-
peror took place on July 16. SO far
as the officer was able to learn the
Commandant Of the Yekaterinburg
Soviets. who was reported to be a
sailor. killed Nicholas with a revolver.
Red Guards who were commanded to
kill their former Emperor refused. as
also did Lettish firing party.
Cossacks entered the city on July
26. the main body OF Czecho- SlovalS
forces arriving two days later. The
Bolshevik troops in their flight car
ried away with them n large quantity
OF gold and platinum.
The officer declared that the
Czecho-Slovak, Pole and Cossack Of
ficers and volunteers formed a great
united army which was making
steady progress and winning battles
He termed the Bolshevik communi-
cations to the contrary as untrue.
The people of the villages and towns,
he added, welcomed the Czecho-
Slovak forces with food and flowers.
