YANKEE FLYERS
BRING DOWN 81
HUN APPLIANCES
But Seven y. S. Machines Lost
Since Army Began Real
Work in April
By associated Press

With the American Army in
France, June 4.-Compilations which
The Associated Press obtained to-day
show that the American aviators
flying over the Toul sector have
made an enviable record.
American pursuit units since April
IA, when they started operations,
have shot down at least thirty-two
enemy airplanes. Seventeen of this
number were seen and officially con-
irmed by the French. During the
same period and counting the pilot
who fell in flames to-day, only seven
OF our chaser filters have been lost.
Four Americans Killed
OF these four were killed, one by
accident two are prisoners in the
hands of the Germans and the fate
of to-day's aviator is not known for
certain.
Thes victories gained by the Amer
leans are all the more important
when ii is considered that most of
the enemy machines shot down have
been biplanes, so that the loss in
these cases has been doubly great
for the Germans. All the American
machines lost were monoplanes.
Late this evening, for the first
time in nearly a month. a German
plane was so bold as to venture more
than a few kilometers over the line
and it did not stay long after dis
covery, but beat a hasty retreat
homeward. The machine was so
high that the men within it were
unable to see much and at that alti-
tude must have had on respirators.
Germans Learn Lesson
The Germans have learned the les
son that it is dangerous to try to
operate over the American positions.
Within the last few days the Ameri-
can units, in addition to patrolling
the line. answering alarms and
chasing off prowling German air
planes, have taken the difficult task
of protecting British bombing squad
rons. This serves a dual purpose
of protecting the British and giving
combat to the German pursuit ma
chimes which somestimes pursue the
British.
Several fights which have ended
disastrously for the enemy have re-
suited. The British are strong in
their praise of the skill and the
daring of the young American ~fi6ers.

Tribute to ! Beloved Priest.

The funeral on Tuesday morning Of
Father Thomas J. Murtagh, whose
death on the morning of Nav 9th was
briefly mentioned in the Plain Dealer
of last week, was an occasion which at
tested to the fullest extent the deep
affection and esteem in which the dead
priest was held by the people of the
community and the priests of this part
of the state. Seldom it is that such
large number of priests, nearly eighty,
gather to pay their tributes of respect,
and they did so impelled solely by
their respect for man whose Christ
ian faith and practices were the at
fractions of his life, and not any
particular brilliancy of intellect or ora
torial ability. 1t was an eloquent trib-
ute to the beauty and efficacy of a
simple Christian life we'll lived and
lived for others more than self.
The solemn offices of the. church
chanted by the priests, and the elo-
quent sermon by Father Conry left
deep and lasting impression upon the
people Of the parish.
Deceased was born in County Long,
ford, Ireland, August Is, 1S4S. He
attended the primary school at the
place of his birth and afterwards en-
tered All Hallows College, Dublin.
At the age of % he came to America
and studied at Niagara college. In
1874 he was ordained priest and
came west; affiliated with the arch
diocese of. Dubuque. He served as
assistant to Father Clavvy for
year. For thirteen years he served
the parish at Fairbank, Iowa, and
outlying missions; then to Masonville,
Iowa, for ,23 years, coming to Cresco
in January, 1910.
OF immediate relatives he leaves
two brothers, Peter Of Algona and Fa-
Their Joseph of Baskerville, one sister,
Mrs. Joseph Mulvehill, nephew, Fa-
Their John Murtagh of Edgewood, To-
wa, all Of whom were present at the
funeral. One sister and two brothers
still reside in Ireland
Funeral services were held at the
of the Assumption this Tues
day morning at 8 o'clock. Father
Joseph Murtagh was celebrant of the
mass, Father John Murtagh, deacon;
Father J. P. Wagner, sub-deacon,
Father McNerney Of Emmetsburg and
Father Casey of Strawberry Point,
Of ceremony. The sermon
was preached by Father Thomas Con-
~ of Dubuque college. Practically
all the priests were present at the
funeral from the district Of which
Father Murtagh was dean. Interment
was at Masonville.

SHIPYARD FORCES
QUIT WORK FOR DAY

About 2OOO ship builders employed al
the Harlan plant OF the Bethlehem
Corporation AND the Pusey & Jones

result Of a di agreement between the
men and ofiicis2s Of the two plants The
men claimed that Lincoln's Birthday is
a legal holiday aud they should be- paid
double time fOr working. while on the
other hand tire officials Of the compan-
les contendsrl that they were not au-
thorizcd 10 pay the men extra for work
done today, - 1t was not in the list Of
holidays sper1ed in the agreement un-
der which tIe men recently returned 10
work after D. strike.
Al the Harlan plant practically every
man employed in the shipyard took o
holiday after the wage question arose.
4. G. WeavT, general manager, verified
that the mqn were not working. When
asked II they had asked extra pay for
working tCday. he said: Yes. but we
were not authorized under the agree
