(By Associated Press Correspondence)
DUNKIRK, Feb. 12—A tight between
two French aeroplanes and one of the
new armored German monoplanes, a
type which has only recently begun to
appear on the northwestern front. Is
described in n letter from a French of
ficer. He writes:
“For a half hour the black Taube
had been describing Infernal circles
over our llneH while our men crouched
« in their trenches, covering with their
, bodies, bayonets, mess tins, and ev
erything else whose glittering sur
face might^etray their position. I
alone stood up, observing the enemy
through my field .glasses.
"Suddenly a French airman emer
| ged from a cloud over the Taube. The
dry hark of a mitrailleuse announced
that the Frenchman was attacking.
The Taube turned tail without reply
ing, but only to return to the battle.
“ThPll flip tun trrp'it 11 i rilu nhneonil
' j head on. From below it seemed that
! they must meet in a terrible shock.
I Nothing of the sort. The German
^ passed a little above the Frenchman,
the machine guns spoke. Carried
apart by the speed of their charge,
like knights in a tourney, they swept
’ about in great circles to renew the
combo!.
“The Frenchman hovered and wait
ed; the adversary returned quickly
with clever maneuvers. Hying above,
and then below (be Frenchman, fir
lng when he could, while the French
| man seeming to remain nlmost sta
tionary, replied with energy.
“In the trenches our red-pantalooned
soldiers and the spike helmeted Ger
*
mans alike suspended sniping oper
ations and followed that death strug
gle with equal emotion. The invol
untary ‘Ah!’ broke from a thousand
throats as a biplane emerged from the
same cloud that had hidden the
French monoplane, and the Taube
turned to flee.
“nut the French monoplane pur
sued, and it had the advantage here,
for the German aeroplane, being heav
ily armored, was too heavy for high
speed. The French machine quick
ly passed the fugutive, forced it to
turn and come again again toward the
French line, where the biplane was
awaiting it. It passed near the lat
ter and again there was a bark of
guns, but apparently without decis
ive results.
"Again the French monoplane re
turned to the charge. Flying high
over its adversary, it suddenly dived
m.-uuiuiif, ui'uii ii., ncuiiru iu iukui u
and then—mounted gracefully In the
air.
“At a dizzy speed the Taube, mor
tally wounded, fell almost vertically
into the German lines.”

COST OF WAR IN
LIFE AND MONEY
(By Associated Press Correspondence)
LONDON, Feb. 12—Reckoning each
man as a wealth producing force
d equal to a mere $2,500 in capital, the
I economic waste of human life in the
present European war on the basis
of a million dead and permanently
Incapacitated has already cost Eu
rope $2,500,000,000 according to F. W.
Hirst, the well-known financier.
Addressing the Sheffield bankers on
the political economy of the war, he
also said in the first, three months of
this war, Britain had actually spent
more than in her entire three years'
| campaign In Crimea, and two and a

ENGINEERING FEAT
ON THE “PASS
When railroad building was under
taken In Alaska following the dis
covery of gold a unique engineering
feat was performed. At a point
eighty miles out of Skagway the sur
vey had been made for the road a
long the shore of a lake, but is wa«
round to be so Irregular and broken
by so many coves, that the plan was
adopted of getting a better line by
lowering the level of the lake. This
was done by cutting an outlet chan
nel, through which fourteen feet of
the lake drained off. But presently
the new channel, having cut through
a sandy hill, gave way, and the escap
ing lake water wore an enormous can
yon through the country and reduced
the lake level again over severty feet.
A fine, level roadbed was secured ov
er what was formerly the bed of the
lake.—Argonaut.

WOULD RESTRICT
NUMBER OF SALOONS
There Is a movement at Fairbanks
to induce the council to pans a resolu
tion asking Judge Bunnell to not grant
any greater number of saloon licenses
there than are no win jxlsttnce. This
does not mean the abolishment of any
of the present saloons, of which there
are thirteen paying a yearly revenue
of $1,000 each Into the city treasury,
but simply the fixing of that number
as the maximum number to be allow
ed In the city. It is a precaution
against a flood of liquor license appli
cations that is bound to come when
railroad building starts.
The matter came up In council at
the last meeting when it was inform
ally discussed by those present.
While the matter of granting saloon
licenses rests entirely In the hands of
Judge Bunnell, who approves them af
ter they have been Investigated by the
marshal's office and the United States
attorney, it is presumed that Federal
officials'desire to be governed in their
actions concerning matters of city
policy by the desires of the city itself.

SHELTER IN SUBWAI
EVENT OF ATTACK
_ |
(By Associated Press Correspondence)
LONDON, Feb. 12-—Plans have been
completed to permit London’s vast
floating population to find shelter in
the underground railway tubes In the
event of hostile attuck. The city has
hundreds of miles of subways, afford
ing an ideal place of safety from bomb
or shell fire.
The availability of the subways was
first called to the attention of the
authorities several weeks ago by an
enterprising citizen. Since ttiat time
detailed arrangements have been made
for the regulation of traffic if a raid
comes. Special telephones have been
installed throughout the system; all
employees have been instructed just
uun iu itui, uiiu uun ucvii
organized to prevent a panic. Wom
en and children will receive prefer
ence, but all those who seek shelter
may do so without purchasing a tick
et.
In case of a prolonged attack it
is suggested that subway traffic be
suspended entirely and the system
converted into a stronghold superior
to the forts of fuedai times.

FiljOlO FOR
UNMARRIED WIVES
LONDON, Feb. 12—The question
of aiding financially the unmarried
wives of soldiers was taken up and
decided favorably by a vote of three
to one at a general meeting of the
Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Families' Asso
ciation held here. This form of il
iclt union is encouraged indirectly by
army regulations against marrying,
and there are 1,350 such cases out of
the 75,000 families enrolled in the
books of the society. Aid is to be
given, however, only where a real
home is maintained by the woman.
To help these unfortunates is not
in view of the majority of the*com
mittee members of tne licensing of
vice, as asserted by the minority.
Speaking on the measure. Lord Au
dries sair:
“As an old soldier, I deny the gross
insult that soldiers are more immoral
than men of the same class in other
walks of life. If the soldier has not
gone through the form of marriage
it is the fault of the people of this
country, who for a hundred years have
discouraged soldiers from marrying
while serving because the separation
allowance would come out of the tax
payer’s pocket. I do not care wheth
er the council is technically right or
wrong, but I believe that in the judg
ment of a great majority of the people
of this country they have acted In ac
! o.ordanro with th*> Hiptutpa nf r’hrio.
