TAKE GERMAN PLANE
German Flyer* Surpri»ed While ;
Looking Over Maps at Quiet
Spot In France.
PARIS.—Although not so excep
tional an event as the capture some j
time ago by cavalry-men of a Ger
man submarine which had run
ashore, the taking of a German air
plane recently has its unusual side,,
for the captors were four French |
territorials whose duties as warriors j
were limited to taking care of a
travelling carrier pigeons’ cote.
As night fell that day. a German
plane landed gently in a meadow
near Fismes out of sight of any house
or apparently any human being. The
i pilot, who had lost his bearings re
mained at his post, keeping his en
gine running and his hand cti one
of the two machine-guns on the
machine, while the observer consult
ed his maps.
They were about to resume their
flight when the four territorials
rushed out of the little wood close
by and gave the word “Hands up ”
Seeing that resistance was useless
the officer ordered the pilot to get
out and surrender. The victors were
armed with a rifle and <hrce hunting
guns, their spoils were one uninjured
German airplane, two mitai'leuses,
and two men.

ENGLAND IS BUILDING
FABRICATED SHIPS NOW
j _
I LONDON.—“Fabricated” vessels
are one of the latest and most in
teresting developemnts of Great
Britain’s shipbuilding drive. A fab
ricated ship is one whose component
parts are manufactured in other
than shipbuilding yards, usually in
plants inland- The new fabricated
ship is larger than most of the stand
ard ships and there is not a curved
frame in it.
In fabrication of ships the aim
was to increase speed of production
and also utilize for shipbuliding pur
poses such plants as bridge-building
yasds and land engine factories.
It is expected that ships of the
new type soon will materially in
crease the tonnage output.

Nenana Athletic Association Holds
Informal Meeting to Arrange
For Play.
At the office of Chief Time
keeper Frank Doner shortly after
the five o’clock whistle had been
blown, last night, an informal meet
ing of baseball fans was held and
matters pertaining to the greatest
of all games were discussed.
It was decided to send a team
to Fairbanks to play a series of
games with teams representing the
upper town on the 21st, 22nd and
23rd of June. The first of the
series will be called at midnight on
the 21st. The game under the glare
the of the midnight sun has always
been the biggest event in the annals
of the sport in Fairabnks.
Mr. F. D. Browne, engineer in
charge, has kindly consented to
grant the necessary leave of absence
to some of the players attached
to the location parties now in the
field.
The following names were sub
mitted and it is expected that the
team who will represent Nenana
will be selected from among these
men: Woodbury Abbey, Frank
Doner, Dick Ward, Ike Taylor, W.
Blakey, Neal Van Houten, Harold
Anderson, Matthews, Miller, C. A.
Slippern, Songer, H. G. Summerlin,
Andy Burns and Jack Hansen.
The work of putting the school
grounds in shape has been taken in 1
hand today and willing workers are
striving to get the grounds in shape
as soon as possible.
A scraper and team donated by ■
Mr. Browne, engineer in charge, and
several men are hard at it now, and
it is expected that in the course
of a few days the grounds will have
received sufficient treatment to per
mit of practice games being in
dulged in.
There are a great many baseball
fans in Nenana now and included
among them are some notable play
ers, who have not been seen on the
diamond here and the practice game,
will, therefore, be looked forward
to with keen interest.
The work of putting up the back
stop will be taken in hand probably
tomorrow and arrangements will
also then be made for the hauling
of the necessary material for the
construction of the projected grand
stand.
All of the details in connection
with the games to be played, and
the arrangements to be made for
the accomodation of the crowds is
being attended to by the Nenana
Athletic association.
