 Tt was a risky adventure, but the conditions were very favorable. I commenced to climb towards a gap in the clouds well behind our lines In three minutes time we were up above, bathed in brilliant sunshine. Below, the clouds had the appearance Of trees well covered with snow. I steered due east by the compass.
 Five minutes later I looked about Not a Hun was in sight ant we were invisible from the ground. Down went the nose of our machine. and in 8 few seconds we were in @ >clamlnY were dropping rapidly

The Huns had spotted us. for black Archie bursts began to appear They became thick CT and thicker, barring our way to the balloon. The gunners had got our height perfectly. Suddenly, I dived very steeply, pulled up, and climbed again. We could now hear machine guns from the ground. Eut We had passed the barrage and were heading straight for the balloon.

PREsloENT WILsoNs INoUIRY.

PRESIDENT WILSON'S INQUIRY.
 That President Wilson intends that there shall be no misunderstanding in regard to the proposition which has been advanced by Germany in order -hat his answer may he to the point and deal with what is actually meant, lnstead of attempting to draw a wrong conclusion from the wording cf the communication or falling into trap. is indicated by the forwarding cf the note of inquiry.
 In the note of Prince Maximilian the statemen. is made that the Ger man government acce-ts as a bdsis Tor the peace neEotiations the pro- rramme laid down by the president cf the United States" and asks for ihe naming of delegates by the bel llEerent nations to take up the negotia- uona. What Is desired now is to know whether Germany binds itself in ac- oordance with the principles set forth hy the president or whether it wants Co discuss such a programme as q tasis for peace. The fact is of course that there can be no such thing as an armistice 10 discuss with the Ger man government those terms. They must be accepted before their en- forcement can be discussed and then such a discussion must be carried on with representatives Of the German people and not the imperial German government. with which this and the other allied governments have wash ed their hands. and it is for the pur- pose of getting enlightenment on these points and eliminating any ooubt that the note of inquiry is for warded l. Is equally apparent that there can be no thought of an armis- rice as long as German troops remain ln France and Belgium and no doubt should be permitted 10 exist that this country is just as firm as ever in inv slsting upon the policy of uncondi- iional surrender. A straightforward rep.y 10 the inquiry will show where the mouse is in the meal.

russ PRISONERS
USED LIKE DOGS

NEW YORK, Oct. 23.-Despite the
agreement between Germany and the
Bolsheviki for an exchange of war
prisoners. Germany is OBTAINING most
of the Russian captives for work In
Germany. at the western front and in
the Baltic provinces.
Russians who managed to make
their way from the latter region to
Petrograd declare that thousands of
Russian soldiers have been sent to
the Baltic provinces to work on the
estates of the pro-German Baltic bar
ons They work under guard OF armed
line as rigid as that of the prison
camp The Germans do not hesitate
to use clubs and the butts of their
guns on the Russians
The horses are better taken care of
than the Russian prisoners. AS a re-
suit, many of the Russians are suffer
ing with tuberculosis and other dis
eases and are dying by hundreds Ma
tives of central and Siberian Russia
are those chosen for work in the Bal
tic provinces. The Russians captured
by the Germans in Esthonia and Liv-
onia have been sent into the interior
of Russia-the soldiers for field work
and the red guardsmen for digging
trenches.
No sooner did the Germans begin to
feel themselves masters of the situa-
ton than they levied severe taxes up
on the Russian population and the
proletarian population in general. If
a civilian Russian desires to leave for
Russia he must pay as high as $50
rOubles for passport. Taxes have
been levied on windows. window cur
tains. beds and pillows.
The population of the region is liv
ing in state of terror. Instead of the
promised autonomy it has been given
the most outrageous form of despot-
ism, petty and large" As a result,
thousands sought to flee. especially
from Livonia

lowing out their scheme to German
ize Belgium. the Germans are at
tempting to enlist the sympathies OF
Flemish elements in the invaded ter
ritory and detach them from the loyal
Belgian population.
According to information reaching
the Belgian government at Havre, the
latest move in the designs Is an at
tempt to form a Flemish "Reichs.
wacht." or civil guard. ostensibly for
police duty in the Flemish region. un-
der command of the German governor.
With the assistance Of a handful OF
Flemish traitors, subsidized by the
German government and formed into
the self-styled Council of Flanders,
the Germans are trying to recruit
more traitors to Belgium by offering
commissions in the proposed "Reichs-
waCht"
The German governor of Belgium
has offered places in the so-called
guard" to Flemish prisoners taken
by the Germans in the early days OF
the war
Although the Belgian government
is certain the invaders will be unable
to make any Roadway with the scheme
it is warning the people in Belgium
of the intentions of the Germans and
exposing the German plan.
