was a U-boat with its conning tower
and deks well ont of the water. kbvh
an account of one of the most suc
cessful encounters of a Unlish air
craft with a German submarine,
Opening out his enirine to its full
capacity, the pilot steered straight
for thu Oennan craft, nninv of whose
crew were on deck. Thcv had seen
Uib airship approaching and imme
diately brought a Quick firing trun into
action. With shells bursting ubout
them, the airmen pushed on mid soon
wcro within effective machine tun
raniro.
Tho observer used his sun to such
Kood effect that with one drum he ac
counted for the submarine's uun crew.
Thereupon the (ioniums, without
waitinir to rescue their wounded, be
Iran hurriedly to suhincrce.
Mcanwliilc thu wireless' operator
of the "blimp ' whs busy scndinir out
urxent niirnls to various patrol
boats and submnrinc ehuseni known
to be in the vicinity.
Climbintr to a height of about 1.500
feet, tho pilot now got ready to use
tho machine's heavy bombs. The
L'-boat. although submerged, was still
easily visible, and taking careful aim
through his sights the "blinipV1 Ban
ner pulled the trigger of the releasing
EPar..
Tho airship, released of a heavy
weight, shot up like an express eleva
tor in a New York skyscraper, but
careless of its movements its occu
pants hung over watching the bomb
sink swiftly until it struck the water
perhaps 200 feet ahead of the tar
get. When its fuse came into action, a
flnsh of lightning seemed to rip
through the dark depts of the ocean,
nnd a peculiar brown, clnudv mnss
enveloped the fore part of the U-boat.
tl seemed ages before the effect of
the explosion reached the surface.
Then, like a gevser, tho water shot
into tho uir. In the center of 'disturb
ance tho gaping hull of tho subma
rine slowly nppcared and its crew
could be seen leaping, overboard.
Hv this time two Itritish motor
launches were racing to the spot, but
they fortunately were far enough
nwny to escape the effects of a ter
rific explosion which now occurred.
The magazine of the U-boat hail been
fired, and with a succession of
mighty detonations the whole craft
was literally blown to pieces.
Tho occupants of thu "blimp" were
badly shaken, but thcv escaped with,
out injury.
PARIS. Nov. 26. What will be
come of the aviators now that fight
ing haa ended.
Commercial aviation doubtlessly
will be extended greatly but It Is a
question whether it will present suf
ficient attraction to the men who
have taken up aviation for the dis
tinction to be won In air fighting.
The Aero Club of France has up to
the present Issued 10.000 licenses
and hundreds of military pilots have
not taken out the Aero club's liconso
to which they are entitled.
Inquiry among French aces show
that the majority are too young to
be worrying about the next phase of
life, altbo some hopo that civilian
aviation will offer satisfactory car
eers. Lieutenant Hene Fonck, the ace of
ace3, with 75 official victories, has
not yet decided what he will do but
may remain in the army. Sub-Lieutenant
Xungesscr, with 44 victories.
has decided to quit the army. He
has received many offers and prob
ably may go to the United States.
Lieutenant Lemaitre, after leading
135 bombing expeditions, will be in
charge of an aerial transport under
taking. A young lieutenant barely of age,
who has won fourteen victories, says:
"All I know is that I will not con
tinue my law studies."
Sub-Lieutenant Bourjade. with 28
successes, probably will have the
least difficulty in returning to civil
ian life. He Is a priest and will re
sume his clerical duties.
GERMAN PLOT TO
ENCITE MEXICO
T(
A.MSTKUDA.M. Oct. 17. (Corres
pondence of the Associated I'ress.)
The German plot to incite Mexico nnd
Japan to war against the United
.States originated with Ilerr Von
Chemnitz who bore the title of lega
tion counselor and w-us employed in
a subordinate capacity in the German
foreign office, it is now asserted. This
is disclosed bv Professor Ilonn. rector
of the Commercial Academy at Mu
nich, Havana, according to the Mu
nich Ncueste Nuchrichten.
"Von Chemnitz." snvs the Munich
newspaper, "imagined himself an au
thority on Latin-American affairs
and suggested the scheme to Dr.. Al
bert Zimmerman," then Germnn sec
retary for foreign affairs. "Zimmer
man discussed it with other foreign
office officials but they thought it
unfeasible.
"Zimmerman kept the matter in
mind. I'rcsentlv. Yon Chemnitz came
and told him that in the next few days
an especially reliable messenger
would leave for Mexico, to whom the
message could safely be entrusted,
and that it was a mutter of now or
never.
"Zimmerman allowed himself to be
over persuaded and so the fatal step
was taken."
Dr. Albert Zimmerman on January
10. 1017, directed the German minis
ter. Von Kckhnrdt, at Mexico Citv. to
propose an alliance between Germany.
Mexico and Japan, to take effect as
Mon as it was certain theie would be
war between the United States und
Germany. The German minister was
diri'cted to urge President Carranza '
of Mexico to ask Japan's adherence
to this scheme. Zimmerman proposed
that Mexico should "reconquer the
lost territory of New Mexico, Texas
and Arizona."
The Germnn plot was made public
bv the United States government in
February. 1017. Its disclosure was
one of the startling incidents which
preceded America's cntranse into
the war.
Professor Moritz J. Bonn." director
of the Commercial high school at Mu
nich, was lecturing' in the United
States und defined German war aims
in addresses delivered here before the
United States became a belligerent.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 26 Presi
dent Wilson bns been asked bv the
Grond Duchess of Luxemburg to in
tervene in behalf of the grand duchy
to protect it against the dangers in
cident to German demobilization and
to safeguard in the peace negotiations
its rights us a smull nation, free nnd
independent. The communication has
been referred to the supreme war
council nt Versailles.

COMMUNICATION
To tho Hdllor: As It docs not re
quire brains to say you uavo some
thing to give nwny, Is my oxcuso for
writing. I want to ask, does the
beautiful camphor tree, grow In Ore
gon? It not I wnnt to bo the one to
Introduce It there, as your climate
Is mild. Tho camphor Is one of our
most ornamental trees; It's very
symmetrical In form, the follugo Is a
rich glossy grocn, remaining- on tho
tree tho entire yonr. Tho camphor
seed Ib now ripe and If you do not
have It and want tho soed I will
mall It freely to anyone who sends
postage. Tho reason I wrlto now
instead of in spring, is, tho seed
needs planting as soon as ripe. The
trees aro of strong vitality. When
the ground freezes In this section of
north Florida It does not seem to
affect them at all; but do not think
they would stand continuous coz
ing weather. Let mo olso soy, give a
plain address, not hieroglyphics in
tended for nn address. to not send
a stamped envelope; mallng seed
that way, especially largo seed, is
not always satisfactory.
If anyono car. for Florida flower
seed 1 can send you a variety at tho
same time. I mall tho camphor seed
for I usually save far moro seed
than I ever use.
Old any of you ever see what Is
railed the "Forbidden Apple." It
grows here, and is the brightest scar
let color and about the slzo of hick
ory nuts. It grows much Mko a to
mato plant nnd freely produces these
bright, showy apples. If they are
really tli kind Mother Kve ate, I'll
wager sho never took but one bite,
for they are solid need.
May I ask If tho White Cnlla Lily
grows in Oregon samo as in Cali
fornia? They do not grow In Flori
da. .
I'orluips I better nut say more till
I see first whether this sees daylight
In print, but If it does not. nn one
but tho editor and yours truly will
ever know that It found a premature
grave In the waste basket.
Do not think this Is sn ad of u
sort, now or later hardly, for I am
an old lady Just "doing her bit" for
others, nnd If this unfashionable way
suits mn others ran bo tickled to
death. More anon.

Farm Home Equipment
(Editorial from the Northwest Farmstead.)
"With all the. talk about lightening tho labor of, the fanner
and of women helping in the field work, we may forget the farm
home problems. A general introduction of home labor-saving
equipment would be t he greatest possible boon toward making
farm life happier and the farm home a place of satisfaction when
the day's work' is done.
"The majority of farm homes are not equipped with any more
labor-saving devices then they woix- oO years ago. But at the
barn, perhaps there is a hay carrier, water for each cow, feed bins
handy, anything to save a step. In the home, water must be
carried in for every meal, the old kerosene lamps must be cleaned
daily, and the washing machine operated in the old fashioned
way.
"We ton often forget Mother in providing for Father. Any
farmer who can afford to own an automobile can afford a modern
lighting sysiein, a water supply system, and power in the home.
The use of electricity to lighten the labor of the house is as im
portant in solving the labor problem on the farm as the tractor is
in the field."
