THE LURE OF DANGER

Some men seem to be irrisistbly attracted to enter prises fraught with danger And when the spirit ot high adventure gets into the blood its craving is seldom satis fed
 This phenomena is we'll illustrated in the case of Charles Nungesser the intrepid French aviator who has doubtless pershed in reckless attempt to the At lantic under conditions which invited disaster.
 During the World war, Nungesser was credited with bringing to earth 45 enemy apanes Even before that he had been the hero of many daring exploit in South America and elsewhere His utter contempt of death was shown over and again On each plane he flew he had painted skuull and cross -bones coffin and cande device which borne by the faed White Bird the airplane which carried him and his companion Coli to death.
 In his latest and last adventure Nungesser discarded his wireless set colapsble feboat landing gear and other safety devices in order to reduce the weight of his craft stalking all the slender chance of covering more than 5000 miles in perfect flight The odds ten to against him and he perfectly conscious of the fact.
 But the lure of adventure gripped him. He went to his doom smiling and unafraid.

FAMOUS LEADEROF
 IRISH DIES AFTER
 SEVERE OPERATION
CONDEMNED THE GOVERNMENTS PRACTICE OF EXECUTING
 REVOLUTIONARY

l LONDON, Aug. 5. (Hl-John Dillon. l famous Irish leader, died in London
 Nursing Home, following severe
 abdominal operation.
 John Dillon, who succeeded John
 Redmond as chairman of the Irish
 Nationalist party in 1918, was for
 more than 30 years one of the out standing figures in the fight for Irish Home Rule Almost from the day
 he entered Parliment from Tipperary
 in 1880 at the age of 29 years he was conspicious in Irish politics, begin ming his career as a supporter of Charles Stewart Parnell, coadjutor with Gladstone in starting the fight for Home Rule.
 Long an understudy of Redmond, there were many who maintained that Dillon dictated the policies of his chief and shaped the Nationalist party's course for years before talk ing over the Leadership in name as we'll as in fact. The war brought about many differences between the two men, but there never was a ser ious rupture. In all his ideas, ve- ihemently, often vociferously express ed, Dillon was regarded as the ven turesome pioneer, while Redmond acted as a force of sober, second-day reflection.
 Dillon was physician by training and politician by nature. Retiring from Parliament in 1883, he spent two years in California. but the thought of political campaign was Iuppermost in his mind and the year 1885 found him back in Ireland run hing for office. He was defeated as member from North Tyrone, where upon he entered the race to repre- sent East Mayo and went in by substantial majority.
 Early in the second year of the
 world war he bitterly opposed the British governments plan to raise ian additional 100000 troops. Fail ing to carry this program he launch ed an attack against conscription, but finally agreed to abide by the wishes of Redmond and withdrew his oppo- sition to the Military Service Bill. In 1916 he renounced the govern ment's methods of dealing with the Irish revolt and condemned the prac- Itice of executing Irish reyolutionar- lies. He was the author of several motions in the House of Commons urging the government to disclose it's plans for the administration of Ireland, declaring that decision to hold elections on the Home Rule question would be welcomed through Iout the empire. In 1917 he attacked the Sim Feiners, declaring they had alienated sympathy in the United States for the Irish cause. In an- Iother speech year later he deplored the financial aid which the Sim Fein party was receiving from New York
 Physically, Dillon was of great height, which was accentuated by This slenderness. His long, thin face was covered by a full beard. His disposition was described as melan- cholic when he entered Parliament and his friends say it never changed.
 MT. Dillon was born in 1851. He attended the Catholic University of Dublin, and became a member of the Royal College of Surgeons upon his graduation. In 1895 he married Eliz- abeth Mathew, daughter of Lord Justice Mathew. She died in 1907.
