While the sky was liberally flock ed with British airmen, a lone German, watching his chance, slipped through the cordon and charged a British sau sage observation balloon. He swooped above it, loosed an in cendiary missile and curved beyond. Then he turned almost on end and es caped back home in a whirlwind of shell bursts. The balloon had been hit. It burst suddenly into a mass of flames. One observer in its basket leaped out, his parachute gracefully unfolding and gently depositing him on the ground. The second occupant of the basket, with iron nerve waited until the balloon started falling before he, too, jumped with his parachute. By a miracle the heavier and more rapidly falling mass of flames just grazed him as it slid to earth. He got off unscathed. Haig Says Local Attacks.. London, Dee. 1.

A counter HO CLASH BEMEII ' DEPARTMENTS OF FOOD FUFL CONTROL Hoover, and Garfield Lunch Together and Act la Per fect Accord Washington, Dec. . The entire priority transportation problem was brought to a head today by joint action of Herbert Hoover and fuel Adminis trator Garfield. To show there was no personal clash over the question of giv ing foor or coal preference in freight movements, they took luncheon togeth er. It was officially explained that their apparently conflicting statements of last night were prepared jointly as a "bomb" under the priority committee of the war industries board. Regarding the car shortage . and freight congestion as the country's most serious domestic problem, Hoover and Garfield are pressing the priority com mittee for a definite stand m favor of war essentials against non-war com modities. The preferential order Garfield ask- for coal and coke and empty cars did not specify priority over food essentials livestock and perishables, according to Hoover s office. But both "dictators" desire an order which will place their commodities in a olass with public util ities, railroads, government work and munitions ahead of non-essentials. If this is not forthcoming shortly, in dications are that they will appeal , to President Wilson. Tho whole subject is likely to be threshed out at Monday's meeting of the new war council in which Hoover and Garfield will have a chance to talK mailers over uirecuy with priority administrutor Lovctt.

The "wealth conscription" forces are lining up against bond advocates on the expected drive for more war rev enues. Prominent administration lead ers are in favor of issuing additional bonds and avoiding further revenues legislation at this session. The application of war taxes impos ed in the last session still remain to be worked out by the internal revenue department, with legal clashes over tho excess profits section impending. It appears certain that among appro priation measures wijl be relief for rail roads. Government credits for the car riers and outright purchase for them of needed war equipment are under con sideration in high legislative circles. Bitter fights are in prospect over the press clauses in the espionage and trad ing with the enemy laws. A measure will be introduced to prevent barring of any publication from the mails ex cept after a full hearing by a regular court. Some advocates of free press and free speech claim the postoffice depart ment is given too broad judicial powers. . Slightly related was criticism today by a house member of the present cen sorship as giving pro-German rumors mongers a fertile field. "The country's full of, rumors", he said. "They are mostly wild and, on their face, unbelievable. But people have heard so much about the censor shiD nreventing publication of certain .matters that they are ready to believe almost anything, particularly if they don't see it printed. Something ought to be done to make the censorship sen sible." The ten year fight over the govern ment's conservation policy will come to a head early in the approaching ses sion. War time demand for enormously increased production of coal, oil, gas, and eheap power makes utilization of national resources one of tne biggest questions of the hour. Widely divergent views are held by members regarding the government leasing policy. Senators Myers, Montana; Pittsman, Nevada; Walsh, Montana; Hhixlds, Ten nessee and Phelan, Calif.; will introduce leasing- bills. Beprcsentative Ferris, Ok lahoma, will look after conservation measures in the house. lfiwin. the shootine was recalled by the state and said ho regarded her as rational.

Mrs. Anna Mooney, baby Jack's nurse at The Br-x, told of Mrs. DcSnul les' "presentation to the British court and said that she once went up in an oeronlane."

She was in bed for several days afterward, however. Both DeSaulles and Airs.

Dr. Isham B. Harris and Dr. Charles V. Pilgrim appeared as the state alien ists. Dr. Pilgrim on cross examination admitted ho had not examined Mrs. Da SSaulles. Opening his appeal to the jury, De fense Counsel Uterhart charged that the prosecution's case had been launch ed with one of its own witnesses ad mitting himself to be a liar. This witness was Julius Hadcmek, DeSaulles' valet, who, at his master's order, told Bianca by telephone that Drf Saulles was not at homo when she call ed up the night c.f August 3 and asked for her child.
