FRENCH AVIATION OFFICER
LOOPS THE LOOP TO ESCAPE.
PARIS. May 11. — No atranger tale
of escape from captivity haa perhaps
ever been told In the annals of any
war than that narrated by Major de
V-, a French aviator who was re
cently captured behind the German
lines when a dense fog caused him to
lose his bearings. Captured by the
enemy, this dispirited Frenchman
was tied to his scat In his own aero
plane and ordered by a German avia
tor officer, who climbed in behind
him, to fly over the French lines and
not to descend dr to signal to his fel
lows under peiAlty of instant death
from a bullet from the German's re
volver.
By the simple process of looping
the loop Major de V- ridded him
self of his unwelcome passenger cap
tive, who had not taken the precau
tion to secure himself to his seat.
This manoeuvre, accomplished after
a sudden swift flight to a higher al
tltude. was executed so unexpectedly
that the German officer failed to guess
his enemy's purpose and plunged from
the machine to his death.

SHIPPING OF
BRAZIL FADING
AWAY
BUENOS. AIRES. May 13. — The
complete dissolution of the nascient
Argentine mercantile marine appears
to be fast approaching as a result,
primarily, of the European war.
Before the conflict in Europe be
gan there were a number of Indica
tions that attempts to create and
maintain a national mercantile ma
rine representing the Argentine re
public might be successful, notwith
standing that the efforts were handi
capped by a number of factors. On
erous and vexatious laws and regula
tions are in force, among them a law
that requires that every captain or
commander of an Argentine vessels
must be an Argentine. One third of
the crew must be Argentine.
Notwithstanding that the Spanish
race has always been notable for the
number and merits of its navigators,
the Argentine descendants of that
race show no marked liking for the
sailor's life. As a result, there are
on record many cases of owners of
vessels searching for weeks for pro
perly qualified officers and men for
an Argentine ship. In a way the law
was circumvented by naturalizing
Spaniards, Greeks and Italians, but
even this expedient was not always
successful.
Many European nations are now
paying so high for tonnage that the
Argentine owners of vessels, glad to
escaiie the vexatious handicaps, are
selling out to the European buyers,
or to Uruguayan and Chilean compan
ies. which have less trouble to con
tend with. In addition to this lure
of gold, the lack of coal has been a
factor in the disintegration of the Ar
gentine merchant marine.

discussian as to the advisability and
feasibility of the plan, first broached
In the nineties, to compel women to
undergo a sort of military service Just
as men do. Their service, however,
would consist mainly of economic,
household and nursing duties.
There is unquestionably a large
