WITH THE AMERICAN ARMT IN
FRANCE, May 19. Major Raoul Luf
bery, of the American Flying Corps, has
been killed in an aerial battle. Luf
bery's home was In Walllngford, Conn.
Boche Carries Two Gsss.
The German machine which brought
Lufbery down was armed with two ma
chine gruns with an operator for each
piece, and apparently escaped.
Lufbery s only wound, aside from
those received when he crashed to
earth, was a bullet hole through the
thumb. Apparently the earn bullet
punctured one of the gasoline tanks of
his machine.
The German . machine was under
heavy anti-aircraft fire several times
both before and after the air fight, and
one explosion of a shell upset the
enemy plane, but it managed to
straighten out again.
Teuton Employs Rase.
It was about 10 o'clock this morning
when a German triplane suddenly de
scended from the clouds, apparently
because of engine trouble, until It was
only some 1500 meters over the city of
Toul. The American flyers were on the
alert and some of them headed for the
fighting line to await the enemy on his
return.
Lufbery and the pilot of another ma
chine made after the German, who
quickly ran away from the direction of
the line, the two American machines
following him. Eight miles away from
the enemy's line Lufbery was seen to
attack from under the tail, but then he
drew off as if his machine gun had been
Jammed. Two minutes later he attacked
again from the same position and al
most immediately his machine burst
into flames.
A French aviator this afternoon shot
down an enemy plane back of the Lune
vllle sector. Two men from the plane
were captured by the Americans. The
Germans came from somewhere in the
rear. It is reported, although not con
firmed, that this is the machine which
brought down Major Lufbery.
Plane Falls In Flames.
Major Lufbery Jumped from his ma
chine when 800 yards above the ground.
He had 17 victories to his credit.
The Americans on the ground and
hundreds of French men and . women
going to the church along the country
roads were horror-stricken as they saw
the airplane like a ball of fire, plunging
earthward. Suddenly they saw the form
of a man leap from the machine. Luf
bery's body fell In a little flowering
garden, while his airplane, still burn
ing, dropped to the ground 400 yards
away. By the time the first Americans
had reached the spot, the body of the
famous flier had been taken by the
French to the City Hall, where it later
was covered with the French trl-color
and great piles of roses and wild
flowers.
WITH THE AMERICAN ARMT IN
FRANCE, Sunday, May 19. (By the
Associated Press.) Control of the air
no longer belongs to the Germans
along the Toul sector. . Aerial activity
there seems to be increasing daily
but the Germans are not permitted to
prowl about freely.
Fighting American airmen have
locked wings with the enemy and to
day the tally of machines brought
down is overwhelmingly in their favor.
In fact, they have had such good for
tune that they are wondering whether
It can keep up without, change. They
are not passing by a singe chance to
get at the enemy. j
Enemy Flies in Flocks.
The German airmen have started to

WASHINGTON, May 20. General
Fershing's ' communique today brought
its best Btory so far of the valor and
sacrifice of. American blood on the
bcttlefields of France. It also gave
eloquent testimony to the spirit of
democracy which knows no race or
color. It told of the gallant death of
Major Raoul Lufbery, premier Ameri
can Ace of the Flying Corps, gentle
man globe trotter and one of the first
fliers of the celebrated Lafayette esca
drilie. It told also of the heroic fight
of two American negro soldiers, both
wounded, who withstood a raiding
party of 20 Germans and saved com
rades from surprise and capture.
Notwithstanding these two incidents
General Pershing referred to yester
day as a "quiet day.'"
WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, Saturday, May 18. (By The
Associated Press.) The German bi
plane brought down yesterday by Cap
tain David Peterson, of Honesdale, Pa.,
his third since May 15, was conquered
after a fight five kilometers within the
Herman lines. Peterson and another
pilot came upon two enemy machines,
nns 2000 meters high and the other
S000. The Americans each picked out
an enemy airplane and attacked it.
Germnn Seen to Crass.
Captain Peterson, diving on the tail
of the one 2000 meters high, fired 30
shots at close range. The enemy went
Into a spinning nose dive and crashed

Delegate of Accused Irish Organiza

Dublin Involving: Tnited
States Labor Mission.
LONDON", May 20. The Times says
It understands the government will pub
lish the evidence against the Sinn
Felners. It urges that this be done im
mediately, so that "thousands of Irish
dupes should know that they are un
willing instruments of a movement sup
ported by German gold." -
The Daily Mail says the Germans
hoped the Irish revolt would syn
chronize with the gigantic offensive
they are now preparing.
The Dally Mail says thr Irish eecu
tlve followed the precedent set by
Abraham Lincoln, who arrested hun
dreds of dangerous persons.
Dublin is outwardly quiet, and the
Sinn Feiners have nominated Professor
John McNeill and Alderman Kelley
to places made vacant by the arrest
of Professor de Valera and Arthur Grif
fith. Movement to Proceed.
Substitutes, it Is anr- -need, are to
carry on the movement "during the
enforced and what must be made tem
porary exile of our leaders." Four of
the six Sinn Fein members of Parlla-

. DUBLIN, May 20. A Sinn Fein dele
gate who called on the American mission,-
representing the American labor
delegation now In En gland, endeavored
to create a scene In the hotel lobby by
declaring loudly that Americans were
not treating the Elnn Fein fairly.
The members of the American mis
sion replied that they would be glad
to listen to all aides and that they pur
posed to view the Irish question with
out prejudice, but that they could r.oi
take sides in internal British ques
tions. DUBLIN, Sunday, May 19. A Sinn
Fein demonstration today at Coyote
Hill, East Cavan, was attended by
6000 persons. Among -he speakers
were two priests.
Spasmodic Outbreak a'.iltely.
The Sinn Feiners throughout Ireland,
who had been waiting for two days for
a cue as to what action to take, to
night received a proclamation from a
party committee appointing new men
to take the places of those arrested.
The effect of this proclamation prob
ably will be to Influence the Sinn Fejn
against any spasmodic outbreak. The
policy seems to be to sit tight and
await the orders of the newly appointed
heads of the organization.
BELF AST. May 20. Maud Gonne Mc
Bride, widow of Major John McBrlde,
who was executed in May, 1916, for

head says that 46 of the Sinn Fein
prisoners arrived there on a warship
Saturday night. They were marched
to a camp. The Countess Marklevlcz
was sent to London. Other prisoners
are expected at Holyhead.
With the exception of Professor de
Valera and Countess Marklevicz, who
appeared to be dejected, thj prisoners
did not seem to be disturbed.

Over Guard at Convicts' Mess.
ffALEM, Or., May 20. (Special.)
Following a statement Saturday that
Deputy Warden Burns, of the peniten
tiary, had resigned, to become effective

den Murphy had demanded his resig
nation and Burns had refused to re
sign. "Whether he has resigned or not.
Deputy Warden Burns will leave the
first of the month," was the statement
of Warden Murphy when asked as to
the report In circulation today. Trou
ble between Murphy and Burns arose
when Burns Is said to have disobeyed
the warden's orders and had a gun

to the effect that if Burns did not re
sign he would resign himself.

for Two Hours.
LONDON. May 20. Thirty-seven per
sons were killed and 1S5 injured In the
London area during last night's air
raid. Six persons were injured In the
provinces. The casualties are divided
as follows:
London and the metropolitan police
district Killed: Men, 17; women, 14;
children, 6; total. 37. Injured: Men, 83;
women, 49; children. 23; total. 166.
Provinces Injured: Men. 2; women,
3; children. 1: total. .
Considerable damage to property has
been reported.
The aerial attack of the Germans
yesterday on London and Its environs
probably was the most ambitious ever
undertaken. Never before was there
such a continued volley of firing from
the British anti-aircraft batteries.
Raid New to Thovsaads.
Thousands of persons had their first
experience in a raid. They were visi
tors from many pointa of England,
Scotland and Wales, who took advan
tage of the Whitsuntide holidays, which
run from Saturday until Tuesday, to
visit the metropolis.
On the other hand, thousands of Lon
doners had gone to the country and
seashore resorts. They cut short their
visits and hurried back to London to
learn the fate of their homes and rela
tives. Except' for a few brief pauses, the
gunners blazed away with a terrible
concentration of fire. The raiding
Gothas flew at a great height, the ma
jority of them keeping well up to 12,000
feet In a very clear sky.
Four Raiders Fall.
It was the first air raid on London
since March 7 and four of the raiders
fell before the defenses of London.
Besides the four air raiders already
announced as having been destroyed
during the air raid on London last
night, a fifth was brought down and
fell flaming in the sea.
Two others also are reported to have
fallen at sea, but definite confirmation
of this Is lacking, according to a sup
plemental statement issued by the War
Office tonight.
The moon was shining brightly when
the raiders crossed the southeastern
point and headed for the metropolis.
The usual warnings were given
promptly and the people had time to
reach shelters before the guns In the
neighborhood of London were heard.
The firing was almost continuous for
more than two hours and was unusually
severe. Several bombs were dropped
by the raiders.
The number of enemy aircraft Is not
known, but they seem to have been
more numerous than usual.

DENVER MOTHER
PRAISES TAfiLAC
Says It Stopped Nervous Break
down Which Threatened
Her Daughter's Health.
"This Tanlac put a stop to a nervous
breakdown that threatened my daugh
ter's health and she is now as well and
happy as she ever was," said Mrs. J. L.
Unangst; of 3237 Alcott street, Denver,
Colo., some time ago.
"For the laat twelve years," she con
tinued, "my daughter has held a fine
stenographic position with one of the
leading firms of the city and steady
application to her work for so long
was beginning to tell on her. Her ap
petite failed her and she just had to
force down most anything she ate and
was in misery for hours afterward
from gas 'that formed from her sour,
undigested food. Her nerves were all
on edge, so she got little sleep and
would get up In the morning feeling as
tired and worn out as when she went
to bed. She was under such a nervous
strain all the time that I became un
easy and fe;t If she didn't get relief It
would be but a question of time until
she would have a collapse.
"She wasn't willing to stop work, so
I persuaded her to try Tanlac, and,
actually, from the way it took bold of
her troubles it acted like it was made
especially for her. She began to pick
up at once, and before she had finished
her first bottle her improvement was
so marked that everybody noticed It.
She has taken but two bottles so far
and It has built her up wonderfully.
Her appettte is splendid and she eats
everything she wants and enjoys every
meaL She Is never troubled with gas
or Indigestion In any form; she baa
lost that tired, worn-out feeling and
goes to ber work every day fresh and
strong and full of life and energy. I
certainly am grateful for the good
Tanlao has done ray daughter, for 1
positively believe it saved her from a
serious illness."

Correct fashion lines may be achieved by stout and medium figures, without selecting
sizes smaller than the figure demands, if Rengo Belt Corsets are worn. Here are scien
tifically designed corsets, apparently no different than any ordinary corsets, yet
tailored in such a manner as to reduce positively, comfortably and in accord with
fashion's latest lines. All Rengo Belt models have the strength to hold and mould the
figure absolutely to their designed lines they will not break or bulge under the most
severe strain that the very stoutest figure may put upon them. For that reason the
size your1 figure demands will satisfy you absolutely and you will not suffer the dis
comfort of attempting to force the figure, as is usual when medium and stout women
wear ordinary corsets. There are models for all figures some with "steelastic webbing
where extra freedom is desired and all are boned with double watch-spring steels
