AMERICAN FLYER ESCAPES.
Shot Down in BoIsheviki Lines He Passes
as Austrian Officer.

BY Associated Press to Every Evening
With the Polish Army at the Front,
June l7.-Iieutenant Harman c. Rori-
son of Wilmington, n. c., pilot in the
Kosciuszko squadron of American flyers
with the Polish army, who was shot down
within Bolshevik lines recently, managed
to escape by posing as an Austrian on his
way>home after imprisonment in Siberia.
Lieutenant Rorison was 80 miles from
the Polish lines when he attacked Boil
shevik infantry detachment, the reds re-
plying with rifles and machine guns, one
bullet piercing the gasoline tank of his air
plane. Realizing that it would be impos-
sible to reach the Polish front, he flew as
far as possible, making safe landing, but
near Bolshevik troops. He escaped into
the heavy underbrush with which the
Ukraine in this part of the fighting front is
carpeted and, after two days and nights,
reached headquarters Of the squadron.
The airplane was recovered later by a
Polish cavalry unit and mechanics of the
squadron.

BY Associated Press TO Every Evening
Paris. July 13.-Eight million bottles
of champagne are included in the Sc
questered property OF Baron waiter de
Mumm, which will be auctioned of next
January This property was seized IN
1915 subsequent to the baron's resump-
tion of German citizenship when the
war began.
The number of bottles in the baron's
cellars in the vicinity of Rheims, where
the sale will take place, was greatly di,,
minished during the war. When General
Ludendorff was making his furious drives
toward Rheims and Epernay, the wine
cellars were used as shelters for the troops
and the men were given almost priceless
wine with their meals.
In addition to the bottled wines there
are 5OO0OO liters of wine in casks stored in
warehouses. mansions and cottages as
well as in secret hiding places beneath
vineyards in the Champagne country.
