time that death recently closed his stormy
career in the alien atmosphere of New
York.
Long opposed to the ambitions Of former
President Menocal, General Gomez looked
about him for candidate to defeat his
personal enemy in the campaign of 1916.
He decided that DR.. Zayas was the man to
accomplish this result and backed him in
the election. While DR.. Zayas was the
candidate the Cubans knew the fight was
between Menocal and Gomez.
The result was disappointing to General

English language is at all properly
- spoken or written in the United
States and they have at times been dis
posed to be a tri1e facetious with reference
to "the American language Notwith-
standing this fact and the general ten
dency to drift further apart not only in
pronunciation, but in grammar and vocabu-
change OF words between the two countries.
The British borrow, now and then, few
of our slang words and we ourselves occa-
sionally appropriate such word as haber-
dasher, or the expression week end; but
such exchanges are by no means numerous,
and each years crop of new differences tends
to be greater than the corresponding crop OF
borrowings
Such English words as subatern DON
porridge. moor, draper. treacle tram and
mufti still strangers to the American
vocabulary despite their widespread use In
England. Then too such commonplace
American words as bleachers. doughnut
picayune. campus, chore. stogie and hoodoo
are still unlntelligibe to the vast majority
OF Britishers.
A subaltern Is commissioned officer In
the army under the rank OF captain. A don
is any college dignitary, from fellow to prin-
cipal Porridge, moor. draper, treacle and
tram. though unfamiliar, still need no ex-
PLANTATION
Mufti means ordinary male clothing: an
army officer out of uniform is said to be in
multi. To this officer sack suit or bust
ness suit is lounge suit. A derby hat Is
bowler. He carries his clothes, not in
trunk. but in box. He does not miss
train he loses 1t. He does not ask for
round-trip ticket but for a return ticket
II he proposes to go to the theatre he does
not reserve or engage tickets, he books
them. If he sits downstairs, it is not in the
orchestra, but in the stalls II he likes
vaudeville he goes to a music hall where
the headliners are topliners.
How the English Differ From Us
In Use of "GentIenan' and Lady
The Englishman is very careful to re-
strict his application of gentleman TO men
who are OF a considerable social dignity
Thus a shopkeeper or clerk can never be
q gentleman. and the qualifications of
physician an author, or a musical conductor
must be established. But he is strangely
careless In his use OF lady He speaks
gibly OF lady clerks, lady typists and lady
doctors.
Our own disposition to use the word less
and less as revealed by the substitution OF
saleswoman for the salesady OF yesterday
has no counterpart in England. There
saleswoman Is still n lady shop assistant
and lady is invariably used in such com
pounds as lady golfer, lady secretary, lady
companion and lady champion. The women's
singles, In English tennis, arc always ladies'
singles women's wear in English shops, is
always ladies' wear
But this is one OF the few euphemisms
that the EngIishman permits himself habit
ually to employ. His speech, as a rule is
far more straightforward than that OF the
American. Thus, he knows nothing about
help; he always calls those who work for
HIM servants. He never uses the French
employee in place of clerk workman or
'oborer though, strangely enough, he does
often use the French commissionnairc for

WAR TROPHY GIVEN

Famous American Ace Present

Plane He Shot Down.

OAKLAND. Cal. March 1s.--As q
reminder Of their victory over a
German Hanover plane which they

plane capable of being flown after
victory-and q plane from which

recently added to their collection of
war souvenirs two tokens presented
them by the United States Govern
ment.
To Captain Rickenbacker went the
barograph. or altitude recorder Of
the ship. and to Major Chambers the
machine gun. The barograph record
Of the last German flight of the
famous Hanover plane Is of his
torical interest because 1t gives an
accurate record of the aerial fight
On the barograph record are the
German letters "FLZABT-D." which,
translated, mean Z German airplane
instrument, type p. The record IS
in meters.
The mute chronicle of the baro-
graph of the flight shows that thc
Hanover took to the air at twenty
minutes beyond the hour and climbed
to an altitude of 1900 meters. or
about 5000 feet. 1t was at this
point that the big two-seated Han
over encountered the American ace
OF aces-Capt. Eddie Rickenbacker.
According to Rickehbacker, the
battle was an easy one, though it
was case in which pilots and oh
servers matched wits for position
and firing angles. The German plane
was brought down a full two miles
within the American lines. Captain
Rickenbacker disposed of the Gb-
server, Major Chambers taking care
Of the pilot.
The Hanover plane was brought
back to the United States and has
been exhibited in a number of places
ever the country.
Both Rickenbackef and Chambers
were desirous of some remembrance

PROPERTY CLAIM
CHARGED FALSE
Petition Filed to Discredit
Alleged Deed to Seventh
Street House.

Louise A. Knox and Elizabeth NJ.
Knox of Lynn, Mass, were sub
poenaed yesterday by the District
Supreme Court to show cause why
they should not be restrained from
claiming any right. interest or title
in the property at 1924 Seventh
street northwest
The subpoenas resulted from a pc
tition filed by the American Secur-
ity and Trust Company and Jed
Cuttings. of Bethesda, Nd, trus-
tees and executors under the will
of Mrs. Lizzie E. Knox. The petit
tioners allege that the two women,
who they claim are absolutely no
relation to the deceased, issued a
quit claim deed to the property in
question to a local real estate firm
for an alleged consideration of ST.
600 and had the deed recorded in
the Recorder of Deeds office in this
city.
A copy of the will is attached to
the petition and it does not mem
ton either of the defendants
names and the petitioners claim
that they are imposters. Mrs. Knox
was a widow, it is set forth. and
left no children. Her heirs were. it
is declared, two sisters-Ida A. Cur
rant and Lucia V. Caswell, both of
Lynn, and no one else. 1t is AL
legged that the two women claim
to be children of Mrs. Knox.
