cued by comrade With Great

An American Adriatic Seaplane
Base.-Upon the American squadron
at this station has fallen the duty of
dropping propaganda leaflets over the
port of Pola explaining to the Aus
TRANS why America is fighting.
. A patrol composed of fast machines
and chasers started from this station
at 10: 80 a. m. one day recently. The
operation involved a flight of about an
hour. Arriving at Pola, they encoun-
tered a strong patrol of five enemy
land machines which considerably out
numbered and heavily outgunned the
Americans.
The American light planes were at
an altitude of $500 meters when the
enemy was sighted. The decision to
attack was made at once, and the sig
nal was given to the chaser machines
to drop to lower altitude and engage
the enemy. The heavier and slower
American machines were ordered to
escape.

II. S. FLYERS IN
DARING ESCAPE

6ltnumbered atsthe start, the Amer
lean chaSers were soon in even worse
positions and the plane of Ensign Jo-
hansen, after short flight, was COM
PEELED to retire. His gun jammed, and
as far as fighting was concerned the
battle was over for him.
Meanwhile Ensign Ludlow, who had
engaged two enemy machines single
handed had apparently perforated the
radiator of one of his opponents ma
chimes, and this Albatross pulled out of
the fight. Another Albatross closed in.
Ludlow's right magnetic was shot off.
his propeller was struck and apparent
ly splintered and the engine crank case
was hit.
While he stuck to the fight his motor
caught fire In the air. He set off and
began a deliberate nose spin. This
maneuver put out the flames just be-
fore they could reach the gasoline tank
or wings. Strengthening, he landed on
the water five miles from Pola.
Quartermaster Charles Hamman,
seeing that Ludlow had descended in
close proximity to Pola, simulated a
disaster of his own. Hannah went
down in a nose dive, permitting his
assailants to conclude he had been put
out of action, but at the end of the
dive he straighteped out and maneuv-
cred his plane to within hailiEg dis
lance Of Ludlow.
Sinks Plane; Then Escapes.
Ludlow at once opened the camera
slot in the bottom of the boat in order
to fill it with water, at the same time
kicking holes in the side and slashing
the cover off the wings. Then, as Ham
man brought the plane closer, Ludlow
cast himself adrift from the sinking
plane and swan through the choppy
sea to his companion. Hannah fired
into the wrecked plane hundred
rounds from his machine gun, assur-
ing it's sinking, and then turned to the
rescue of his superior officer.
The carrying capacity of chaser
machine does not permit the transport
of passengers, especially when the
planes are loaded with shot holes.
Ludlow could merely hang on, lying
flat under the engine. This so altered
the balance of the machine that there
was doubt about it's getting off the wa
ter. The power was turned on, but
the dangerous, choppy seas were sew
eral feet high, and at the first attempt
to rise Hamman smashed the bow of
his boat. He kept on and in q mo-
ment cleared the water.
Once safe in the air he headed for
the Adriatic seaplane station. All this
time there had been the possibility of
his being attacked, both from the air
by the Albatross and from Pola, where
the gallant rescue of his commander
must have been easily visible.
Ludlow, hanging on underneath the
engine, never lost his sense of humor.
AS he flew over the inland waters to-
ward the base On the last mile of the
flight, he waved his hand to some
AMAZED Italians.

FERRY SERVICE
 ID CEASE SOON

With the extension of the govern ment railroad beyond Glacier creek, the need for the maintenance of the ferries across Clear creek and Lost Slough, with the freighting service to the distant camps, along the old wagon road ceases, and the ferry camps will probably be abolished Tn a few days.
 When the rails have been laid for distance of approximately one and one-half miles beyond Glacier creek, which is the point at which the wagon road connecting with the old wagon road to the distant camps be- gins; all freight destined for points beyond camp 400 which is now hauled via the Clear creek and Lost Slough ferries, will be hauled on the trains to camp 400 and from that point sent on to destination on the wagons. It is expected that the Commis- sion will establish a freight depot near camp 400 immediately after the ferry camps have been done away with.

ANCHORAGE WILL CHOOSE ADVISORY
 BOARD OF SEVEN

ANCHORAGE-A which three years ago was laid out and organized by the federal government and which since then has been in charge of townsite manager em- ployed by the Alaskan Engineering Commission, will soon have a coun- cil of property owners to advise with the Commissions townsite man. ager on all matters relative to the administration of municipal affairs. The advisory council will consist of seven members and will be chosen by property owners at annual cleo tions.
 The Alaskan Engineering Com mission, which is the body entrusted with the building of the government railroad, was willing to turn over, completely and without any reserva- tions at all, the control of municipal affairs in Anchorage to the residents of the town; but the citizens con- cluded such control was not de- sirable until they had paid in full for the lots bought by them from the government at the time of the organization of the townsite The lots were sold on the installment plan.
 Under the administration of the Commission, Anchorage property owners are taxed for water, sewer street maintenance, sanitation, which is for garbage removal, and fire protection, which for maintenance o1 the fire department; but there is nc police court, police department nol jail expense, as justice is admin istered by the United States com missioner and police work is per formed and jail facilities afforded by the United States marshal's office
