Daring French Aviator Is
Wounded Seventeen Times
in Three Years

PARIS. May 9.-Within five minutes
on Tuesday Lieutenant Nungesser,
leading French aviator, brought down
his thirty-third and thirty fourth Ger
man machines and damaged another
which undoubtedly will be placed to
his credit. On Sunday he knocked out
two other enemy airplanes. which have
not yet been officially recorded.
Sub Lieutenant Nungesser, during
three years of air fighting, has been
wounded seventeen times and has
served on tifty-two bopbing expedi-
tions.
French aviation has suffered great
loss in the death within few days
of three aces who, between them, had
accounted for more than forty five
Germans. Lieutenant Chaput, with six
teen Germans to his credit, was killed
Tuesday, while Sub-Lieutenant De-
meuldre, with thirteen victories, was
killed in the region of the Somme yes
terday. Captain Mieffre met death
while directing an infantry attack from
a very low altitude. He was struck by
a machine gun bullet fired from the
ground.

Sir Edward Carson deprecated an in

committee. but would, if compelled to
choose between them, prefer the latter
He bcsought the House to take Stock
of where they stood and assure them
selves whether they were being of sr-
vice to the country or the Allies by a
continuance of the debate.
"1f the Prime Minister and other
ministers are not able to assert their
own veracity and be believed in the
House" he said, "there is no longer any
possibility of carrying on the govern
ment."
He appealed to Mr.. Asquith, who, he
said. "has always acted in patriotic
way on every occasion, not to proceed
with the motion in the interest of the
country, of the dignity of the House
and the relations between the civil and
military powers, as we'll as an example
to the people of the country, who are
going through very trying time. They
should close up their ranks" he con-
cluded.
Lord Hugh Cecil, member of the
Privy Council, said the Premier had
made brilliant speech. that was more
effective as an attack on General
Maurice than as defence of the gov
ernment. He appealed to the govern
ment not to cling to office. but when
convinced that they could not com
mand great body of the national
support, without which any govern
ment is useless in time of war, they
should resign and so enable it to be
seen whether stronger government
could not be formed
After he had spoken, a few minor
members made brief remarks, when,
amid cries of "Divide!" closure was
proposed and accepted.
Immediately after Mr.. Asquith's mo-
ton was rejected the Premier left the
House, being loudly cheered

On Thu Ass0ci1kcd Presnl

ON THE FRENCH FRONT IN
FRANCE, May s.-The German ar
tillery, under orders from the
Prussian and Bavaran Grown
Princes, is doing its utmost to turn
Amicns into another Rheims. Picardy's
capital has already suffered terribly
from this effort to carry out the Ger
man idea of striking terror into the
Fatherland's enemies by the destruc-
tion of their most loved works of art,
and every day adds to its suffering.
The correspondent to-day went all
over the abandoned city and observed
the effects of the bombardment which
has turned parts Of the town into
heaps of ruins and killed ffty-two
men civilians, thirty women and five
children, besides wounding sixty-two
men, forty eight women and nineteen
children before the population had an
opportunity to evacuate the place.
Since the Germans have been within
cannon shot of Amiens after their re-
cent advance during the offensive, they
have hurled no fewer than $500 shells,
mostly six-inch and eight-inch, into the
city.
Destruction Is Apparent Purpose
Every indication points to sys-
teHaClC eHOrt W oeStIoy tHe puOAiC
buildings, as the cathedral has been
struck by shells which have pierced
the roof and walls, and the object of
firing necessarily upon the town cam
not be explained except upon the as
sumption that it is carried out with
the purely barbarous idea of the
destruction of the beautiful objects it
contains.
This follows from the fact that no
troops whatever are in the city and
that the railroad passing through it
orally ceases at nightfall, onli to be
replaced by air raids. which occur al
most every night. Aerial torpedoes to
the number of $50 have been launched
from arplanes upon various parts Of
the city AS most of the shells and
torpedoes are of the incendiary type
they have caused enormous damage, so
that up to the present 1900 houses
have been destroyed.
When the hremen, who, gallantly
stuck to their posts, have attempted
gunners, seeing the flare of the fire
thew had caused, have continued to
throw in shells upon the spot, while at
night the German airmen have circled
high over the blaze and dropped more
bombs.
Shells Fall Around Cathedral
The cathedral, which possesses the
finest Gothic nave in existence, has so
far escaped serious damage, but any
moment may see irreparable injury
done it, as projectiles continue to fall
all around it.
The task Of the authorities in getting
the people away when they discovered
the intention of the Germans to de-
stroy the city was a tremendous one
as the refugees from the devastated
districts had increased the population
to 10000, all of whom had to be re-
moved from danger within a few DAYS.
