YANKEE BIRDMAN FLAMING VICTIM [Continued from First l'age.] enemy planes back ever their *.er . I ritory. It was shortly after 9 o'clock this i morning when the American patrol , ling machines left the ground one after the other. They circled above the hangars until they got into a V-shape formation and hit for the ! line. They were starting on a seco*id tour when sparkling specks were . seen in the sky far away within the i German lines. The American air f men turned quickly but kept their , formation. The men in the front | lines watched the two formations j and saw the German group continue 'on its course and the American planes started out to head them off. The American pilots soon recognized j the other formation was German and went up higher but the enemy did I not seem to see them until the ; Americans were almost overhead. Buttle in Air Is On Suddenly the American formation i took a dive toward the Germans who I swung about sharply. Then the ma \ chine guns came into action and the battle was on. Then one machine, a German. loft the formation and another, in whioh i was Chapman, followed, his gun • spitting bullets. The German bank i ed and Chapman did likewise, while , both were pouring lead at each oth?r. Two bursts of flames were seen and I the machines went spinning down, 1 long tails of Are and smoke stream ing out behind them. Chapman's companions continued ' the battle with the Germans, ea-h ] engaging one of the enemy. The Germans, however, one after another I turned and fled howeward. diving, i spinning and zigzagging to escape i the American bullets. The American fliers returned home I saddened over the loss of their com | rade, the first of their number to fail to return after getting 'lis Boche. Chapman was very popular i and was regarded as an excellent j pilot. YOUTHFUL RED CROSS WORKERS TAG MANY [Continued from First Pajo.] are working for the soldiers in j France. j Numerous patriotic citizens arf \ making a collection of the tags. One man boasted that he bought six tag.* j from six different salesmen while v-alking from Fourth street to Thirti jin Market. The ever-present statis- J tician figured that he had been ap i proaohed nineteen times, every half . hour, before 10 o'clock this morning j He bought tags from every one, he i said, because he liked to hear the I coins rattle in the tin boxes. The kiddies never . had so much fun as they had this morning sell j ing tags. They're kll working to see i who can sell the most, and each and girl expects every grownup in the street to help him sell all hlr ! tags. That's why it doesn't make i any difference how many tags you've : bought. If the youngster walking I up to you has any tags on her ring. I forget yours. Y'ou need another. iand youngster needs a coin. Tag Day is developing some fu ture sideshow barkers. "Please buy , a tag. mister, it's the last one 1 have." The dark-eyed little angel who sold the statistician a tag with ! this plea this morning sold forty j seven other tags the same way. The j statistician followed her down the ! street. He knows. The nicest thing about the youth ful salesmen to-day was that they didn't care a continental whether it i was a penny or a dime you dropped !in their little tin boxes. Not all i those little tin boxes gave off a cheery Jingle when the penny, dime or quarter was fed into them. Thii was because one. two' and five-dollar hills figured prominently in sorne o' them. The kiddies are doing a giea' | work, and "those who know" didn' Istop when they bought a tag with ; cent.

Under an arrangement made with the I'nlted States Government, insane soldiers who are residents of Pennsylvania are being sent to the hospital from camps, and the super intendent asked whether counties wherein soldiers resided at the time of enlistment are to be liable for their care. It is suggested that in order to determine the question pe titions in lunacy should be present ed to the courts of the proper county and that there is no objection to receiving patients and instituting proceedings afterwards.

RUSSIA TO RELEASE 40,000 HUNS WEEKLY [Continued front First Page.] men over fifty and invalids. These will be followed by the military prisoners of war. It is proposed to exchange 4 0,000 weekly at ten different points. A few exchanges of invalids have al ready been made. Most of the Ger man prisoners are in Siberia. T'neir transportation is a grave problem because of railroad disorganization and water transportation is to be used exclusively to move them. The formation of a new War De partment is progressing satisfac torily. Generals in the old army are iccepting responsible positions and with the Soviet gov ernment in that organization of the fled army. Leon Trot/ky has pub- Mcly stated that they deserve the respect of the workmen, but his ef forts to secure wide co-operation are hampered by the thoughtless re marks of a Bolshevik leader, who called the general "workmen's or derlies." Several prominent gen erals declined posts in the new army for this reason. According to recent cable dis patches GWmany demanded that l.'ussia send back home all sound ierman prisoners and keep and care for the rest. On the other hand. Germany herself proposed to send her invalid Russian prisoners to Russia and keep the others, which '•onstitute a considerable asset, working for-the German army until the end of the war.
