Justice Agents Invade
Circus; Take 52 From
Barnum & Bailey Tents
Philadelphia. May 3. The Barnum
ind Bailey Circus may stay in Phlla
lelphia a little longer than was at
lrt intended unless It can recruit
•nough roustabouts from
>hia to hustle down the big tops and
Set things under way for the next
ump on Saturday night. The cause
if all the trouble was the action of the
Department of Justice agents in this i
•ity yesterday who decided that they
* anted to spend a day looking over,
.he big show.
They did. much to the sorrow of
ver half a hundred of the circus em- |
Moyes and hangers-on. The Federal
igonts spent a perfectly enjoyable af- i
.ernoon and brought company back
o the Federal Building with them, j
The company consisted of fifty-two al
eged slackers, mostly of dusky hue. j
Everybody who looked like ai
vorker about the big tents was stop- j
>ed and either made to show his l eg- :
Ft ration certificate or he was arrest- I
h1 It was a jovial occasion for the
Sovernment agents, but there was not i
nueh in the way of Joy for the vlc
ims. They came from every state
•ast of the Mississippi river, and
orty-flve of them were negroes, the j
emainder being either white or a,
Mixture of various races. They were |
ill held for an investigation and were
em to City Hall. The raid Ml con
lucted by the police and the Depart- I
nent of Justice agents.

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'

given to-day to Dr. B. M. Green, su
perintendent of the State Insane Hos
pital in this city, the Attorney Gen
eral s Department establishes proce
dure to be followed in maintenance
of insane soldiers sent to the institu
tion. 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.

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.
