FLIERS TAKE RESTS

Strenuous Work Wears on . ' Nerves and Birdmen Are Forced to Take Vacations to Recover Norve.

1Y FREDERICK PALMER. British Headquarters, France, Aug. tT "Tnougrh It has been repeatedly i stated ttaat chivalry does not exist In tnls war," said a British aviator. "this does not apply to the British ' and - German aviation branches. 'Whether it is the individualism of our work and its novelty, or whatever it Is that is responsible, something of 'the old spirit of knighthood main'tains among the flyers of the air. ' When, a British aviator has to de'cend ln the German lines whether i from engine trouble or because his ' engine or his plane has been dami aged by anti-air craft gunfire; the next (day-the Germans report to us his i name and whether he survived, and if j so, whether he is wounded. We al- ' ways do the same. It has come to be ' a custom." -' The reports are made In a manner ; worthy of airmen and they are the only communications that ever pass ! between the two foes which watch tor 'beads to snipe at from their

trenches. What is called a "Message

. bag" Is dropped over the British lines ! by a German or over the German lines by a, British aviator sometimes when he Is in the midst of bursting

shells from the - anti-air craft guns

Long streamers are attached to the

Uttle cloth bag. These as they pir-

ouette down to the earth from

height of seven or eight thousand 'feet attract the attention of soldiers in the neighborhood and they run to

' ge tthe prize when it lands. - Wire News to Relatives.

It is taken to battalion headquar

i ters which wires the fact on to the

i aviation headquarters, where the fate

let a comrade may be known a few (hours. after he has left his home aeroi drome, and, in a few hours someone ld JCngland may know the fate of a

'relative.

"Tbt is one of the advantages of i belonging to the flying corps," say 'the British aviators. "It may be

' weeks before his relatives and com

rades know whether a man who is

missing after a trench attack or coun

terattack Is a prisoner or dead. Such

little kindnesses as this don t inter

fere with your fighting your best for your cause; at the same time they take" a little of the. savagery out of

war. Of course, the rule could not apply to prisoners taken in trench nahtlnr only to airmen. There are

. relatively few airmen on either side

and only an occassional one ever

comes.' down to the enemy's lines." The fliers become a . type with cer tain marked characteristics. No ner

vous man is wanted, and it is time for any man who shows any sign of nerves to take a rest. They seem

shy, diffident men of the kind given

to observation rather than talking;

men who are used to using their eyes rather than their hands. It is a little difficult to realize that some quiet young fellow who is pointed out has

had so many hairbreadth escapes

What tales worthy of Arabian Night's

heroes who were borne away on mag

ic carpets they bring home, relating

them as matter-of-factly as if they

had broken a shoe-lace. Up in their

seats a whirr of the motor and they are away on another adventure. They shy at the mention of their names in print; for that is not considered good for the spirit of this the newest

branch of the service of war. Anony

-rolty Is absolute. Everything is done by the corps for the corps. Some

members have luck, as they put it,

and some do not.

FRIEND SAW TULL

LEAP FROM FREIGHT

Detective Isaac F. Burns, of the Pennsylvania railroad has located the

man who was with James Tull when he fell off a Pennsylvania railroad

train and received injuries that re

sulted in his death. The man is George Daugherty, 513 y North D street. Daugherty told the detective

that, with Tull and Edward Mack and James Daugherty, he had gone to the Greenville fair. He and Tull started back on a freight early Wednesday morning, Daugherty said. They bad been drinking heavily and both were very ill from the effects of the liquor. ' Tull, he said, started to get off the train at Glen Miller park and when he climbed over the side of the gondola that was the last he saw of him and he did not know Tull was dead until late in the day. Daugherty did not leave the train until it reached Eighteenth street.

SCHOOLS OPEN SOON

The city schools will open on September 13, and the indications are that there will be a large enrollment of students. On Monday the janitors of the differnet school buildings will start to clean up and there will be fresh and sanitary rooms ready for the students when the schools open. Every building has been fumigated by the city health department and most of the halls have been decorated.

BY BERNARD KELLERMANN, (Author of "The Tunnel.") ON THE WESTERN GERMAN FRONT, Aug. 27. I have seen them and talked to them, the men fighting out there in the trenches of Souchez. Just now they are resting, but tonight they will be fighting again 4 like - demons. The roads and paths for miles around are under a fearful fire. Almost every second a shell bursts with, a deafening roar. Through this inferno they must pass. Then they will be in Souchez. What ia Souchez? A small village which nobody knew a few months ago, and which now will never be forgotten. The little hamlet is marked for all time, like Gravelotte and Woerth. If hell keeps books the name of Souchez must be entered in large letters. There is nothing left of the village but a heap of ruins. The houses left their places, jumped to the street and collapsed. A little creek runs through the hamlet, the brook of Carency, but its banks are destroyed and it has left the bed through which it peacefully ran for centuries. With a sad murmur the yellow, dirty water flows Into - the crater formed by explosions of hundreds of thousands of shells. ........ Dodge French 8helle. The trenches are a few hundred yards from the village, behind a cur

tain of fire. Through this curtain our boys in gray must pass. There are

no communicating ' nassaees the

rrencn artillery on the heights of Loretto does not permit them can only be reached over the open field, through

me unceasing hall of French shells.

But our men are fearless. The

fact that many of them may not live

to see tne next morning has no- terrors

for them, and does not even rob them

of their good humor. .They are all as

brown as : berries, and the heat has

pealed the skin from their noses and ears. Their uniforms were all field-

gray at one time, but nobody is able

to distinguish their color now. Only the first sergeant looks as if he had just come from the tailor shop. His uniform is spotless and his hands are

carefully manicured. ' Traces Course of Trench. With the long finger nail of his little finger he traces the position on the map. Before the war he was a high school professor, but now he is a soldier every inch of him. "This is our trench," he said explaining the map to me. "Over there on the heights of Lorette, the artillery of the enemy stands. "Yesterday we were under heavy fire from 7 o'clock in the morning until 9 o'clock at night. Our trenches looked as if a giant steam plow had run through them. We could not hear nor see anything. "Of course we had losses, but that can not be avoided. A 25-centimeter shell burst near me. A trench was destroyed and we were buried. "About 9 o'clock in the evening the shells began to fly over us. The enemy was trying to drive back a relief column and to storm what was left of our trench. Our lieutenant, a young man of 19 years, shouted a command, and in a moment our trench resembled an ant-heap. We dug our

selves out. Most of our guns had become worthless, but we had hand grenades.

Use Had Grenades. "The French swooped down upon

us, but we sent a couple of dozen of

the grenades into their ranks. Stand

ing in the shell-craters we threw more bombs. The smoke was so thick that we could 'not see each other. For a moment the enemy recoiled, but, then believing, us finished, he advanced again, as he had -received reinforcements, yelling, singing and laughing, we threw still more grenades. "At the same moment we noticed that the Frenchmen were also beginning to attack from one of their trenches at our right, in the direction of the sugar refinery. Like, peas from a barrel the they came pouring out of the smoke. The lieutenant shouted: 'One man to the front with grenades!" A single soldier advanced and started to throw bombs. Who was it? . Throws Back Foe. " 'I did it,' answered one of the men, a farmer from Silesia. took an armful or grenades and fired away at random, but the bombs hit their mark. The Frenchmen fell back. When they advanced again I had no more grenades and had to run. They sent volleys after me. but I safely reached our trench, again and jumped into one of the craters.' "We could do no more,' interrupted another soldier, a youth of barely twenty years. 'It, was Impossible to hold that section of the trench, as it had been completely destroyed. There

was nothing left of it.' " 'That was no reason to give up the fight,' the first sergeant said reproachfully. 'You still were twelve

men and should have held out.' "The Frenchmen believed themselves sure of their success, but our lieutenant was ready for them. He sent eight men ahead into the craters, and the fire of, this little detachment mowed the enemy down when he came on in close formation. In the meantime our machine guns had been brought into action and the French were driven back in front and at aur flank. "But' the section of the trenph for which we fought had become useless to us. We gave it up and slowly retreated, keeping het enemy at a respectful distance by a heavy rifle fire. "For a short while the enemy took possession of our destroyed ditch, but he could not hold it. When we retook it by a counter attack we found it filled with the bodies of dead French soldiers. We quickly dug ourselves in again, but tomorrow the impaired trench may be in the hands of the enemy once more. Then we will have to retake it again, and so it goes on."

STORES ASKED TO SHUT DOORS ON LABOR DAY

A strenuous effort is being made by the Central Labor Union to have all of the local stores close half a day on Labor Day and they have a committee which Is visiting the merchants with that object in view. The Unions are asking the merchants to close from 12 to 6, and most of them have already signified their willingness to do so. ' All the theatres will be- closed on the afternoon of that day and the candy store proprietors have also agreed to lock up their shops. Every effort is being made by the labor unions to make the Labor Da j celebration this year surpass all other events of a similar character and they can do so "with the co-operation of the business men. Many novel attractions have been arranged for the picnic at Athletic park and if the stores are closed for half a day it is anticipated that there will be a record breaking crowd. All business men who are willing to help the unions in this matter are requested to notify L. C. Harrison, secretary of the union.

EL (IJl IH

Nature does - not produce coarse

stubborn growths of superfluous hair

They are caused by the unwise use of

so-called hair removers.

The only way to gain control of such

growths is to devitalize them. It is im

possible to accomplish this result with

pastes and rub-on preparations be'

cause they only remove hair from the

surface of the skin. DeMiracle, the original liquid depilatory, devitalizes hair by attacking it under the skin as

well as on the skin.

imitations or DeMiracle are as worthless as pastes and rub-on preparations because they lack certain in

gredients that DeMiracle alone con

tains which give it the power to rob hair of its vitality its life sustaining

force. .

- insist on the genuine DeMiracle and

you will get the original liquid hair remover. Others are worthless imita

tions refuse them. DeMiracle is sold

in three sizes, 50c, $1.00 and $2.00 bot

tles. The larger sizes are the most economical for dermatologists and large users to buy. If your dealer will not supply you buy a bottle at Clem
