In their account of the air duel
the fighter pilots said:

Then the raider flew of with
one wing tilted down and its speed

One raider, riddled with bullets
from British pursuit planes, came
down on a Yorkshire moor four
miles southwest of Whitby. One
of the crew of four was dead,
another died in a hospital and the
remaining two were injured.
A second plane was shot down
off the mouth of the River Tyne,
an important shipbuilding and
shipping center. A ship went out
to rescue the crew.
Ship Survivors Landed.
A third fell into the sea off the

being "very seriously damaged"
Further north, considerable air

The bomber downed near Whitby
was chased inland by three British

Economy |ndorsed,
Buf Legion Wants
More Pensions
Benefits Asked for All
Dependents, Ending War
Injury Requirement
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Leaders of veterans organizations,
though mindful of economy senti-
ment, asked a congressional COM
mittee yesterday to swell benefits for
former service men and their de-
pendents.
Raymond ]. Kelly of Detroit, ma
tional commander of the American
Legion, testified:
I'VE of the Legion realize there
are indications that economy in
Government is desired. We hope it
can be accomplished.
But our organization has learned
from sad experience that economy
in Government usually strikes at
the veteran and deceased veterans
dependents.
chairman Rankin of the House
Veterans Committee has issued a
statement to the effect such econ
omy must not come at the expense
of the disabled. We are in thorough
accord with that sentiment"
V. F. w. Commander Heard.
The committee also heard Otis N
Brown of Greensboro, N. c.. COM
mander Of the Veterans of Foreign
Wars, Mrs. Roberta Fawcett Of
Washington, national legislative
chairman to the v. F. w. Auxiliary,
and Mrs. William H. Corwith of
Rockville Center, N. Y, head Of the
Legion Auxiliary.
The Legion and the v. F. w. are
asking pensions for all surviving
dependents of World War veterans.
Pensions already are paid the sur
viving dependents of veterans who
had disabilities connected with their
military service or whose deaths
were caused by the war.
According to proponent Of the
pending plan, a Veterans Admins
tration estimate for similar pro-
posal last year showed a possible
cost of Sill, 100000 the first year
If all the 376,40O children, 1913, 400
widows and $4,000 parents who
would be eligible applied. This pro-
ponent said, however, that not more
than half of those ehgibles were ex-
pected to apply the first year.
Pension Asked for Disabled.
Another proposal, which led the
spokesman for one veterans group
to predict that this is the start of
another bonus fight" would grant
pensions to permanently disabled
World War veterans. Advocated by
the " F. W., it would give pensions
of $40 to $50 month, or 500 if an
attendant was needed, to all dis
abled veterans, regardless of whether
the disability was connected with
their service.

Commission, in discussing this situa-
ton:
THE sharp rise in United States
exports to Brazil and to most other
countries of Latin America is at
tributable chiefly to the European
war which, by disrupting many Gus
tomary trade channels, has operated
to stimulate the sale of United
States products. United States i'm
ports from Brazil have not risen 50
rapidly inasmuch as coffee, the con-
sumption of which is fairly stable,
Is the principal product imported
by the United States from Brazil,
and the latter country has long been
the chief source of such imports. +"
Smaller Cotton Exports.
Cotton Is one of the most impor-
tant products affected by the war
situation. AS to what may happen
in this field the United States Agri-
culture Department says:
"A continuation of the war sit
uation about as at present would
likely result in the smallest eX-
ports of American cotton since i'm
mediately following the Civil War.
Even in the markets now accessible
to American exporters, takings Of
the domestically produced staple are
likely in most instances to be
smaller than in 1939-40."
The department calls attention to
the Importance of continental
Europe as an export market for
American cotton" which, 1t stated,
was shown by the fact that during
the IL months ended July, 1910, cot
ton exports to this area totaled 2la
million bales despite the countries

So violent are the shifts in inter-
national trade caused by the war
that Government economists and
trade experts are baffied in their
attempts to forecast trends over any
considerable period. or determine
which changes brought about by the
European conflict may become more
or less permanent. In some prod
uctS, 1t is believed, new trade
channels which have been opened
by the war may continue for several
years. at least, after the world begins
to get back into a normal economic
and commercial condition.
A striking illustration Of the
changing trade relations with other
countries is In the Latin American
field. In recent months United
States exports to Brazil have in
creased more rapidly than those to
Latin America as a whole. During
the nine-month period from Sep
TENDER 1899, to May. 1910, exports
from the United States to the South
American country which were
valued at $50 900 900. increased II
per cent as compared with exports
to Brazil during the corresponding
period in the preceding year.
Imports from Brazil, valued at
$83 900 900, showed an increase of
only per cent. On the other hand
United States exports to all Latin
American countries increased 81 per
cent and imports increased 81 per
cent. Says the United States Tariff
