LONDON, July 23—Two former World War fiyers, who drilled at each | other with machine guns over the Western front 15 years ago, planned to- day a transatlantic flight in the inter- tests of peace. They are Baron von leich, once the “black knight” of the Kaiser's fiy- | ing warriors, and Maj. Christopher | Draper, the “mad major” of Great Brit- ain’s war-time army of the air. They plan to make the western flight some time in_ the near future, they said, sitting side by side in the same cockpit “Fiftcen ycars ago we fought each other over the battle front,” Baron von Schleich said. “Now we are going on a peace crusade across the Atlantic, and our only bitterness arises from those misspent efforts in the war years. “I have come to realize the futility of | other American aces and try to get - in people’s minds the ghastliness of war. We want to meet Eddie Rickenbacker. | Col. Bishop (Canadian airman) and them to join our peace crusade.” e BOSTON EDITOR DIES Charles E. Young for Many Yeats Connected With Post.

MYSTERY SHROUDS EX-CONVICT KILLING Chicago Elevator Operator With Deputy Badge Slain as Woman Flees. By the Assoclated Press. CHICAGO, July 23.—From gangland retribution to a love triangle, police turned today to explain the assassina- tion of Jack A. Werner, an ex-convict, who carried a deputy sheriff's star. Werner was an elevator operator a* the Criminal Courts Building, political patronage doled out by Sheriff Wiiliam Meyering. He was felled by machine | gun bullets last night while driving his automobile in a Southside street, accompanied by & cousin, Miss Mar- garet Murray. ‘The sheriff’s office sald Werner had | no authority to wear the badge; that 1t was one of an old vintage. The cousin fled during the machine gun fire and did not appear at the inquest today. Police and State's attorneys’ investi- gators pursued these theories today: Was Werner killed because of an illicit love affair? Did he use his star to “shake down” gambling joints and speakeasies? Was he killed because of strife within the Elevator Operators and Starters Union? Chief Investigator Pat Roche said Werner had been seen of late with the sweetheart of a widely known gangster. Little credence was placed in rumors that Werner was in the “rackets.” He was without funds, sald those who knew him, and was constantly borrow- ing dimes and quarters of employes in the courts buildings. In scanning the activities of the| operators’ union, in which Werner was | an official, police lsarned the “Secret | Six” of the Associaticn of Commerce | recently stood guard over an election to prevent disorder. Werner in 1917 was paroled from Pontiac Reformatory after serving three | years of & sentence for manslaughter. Five Small Boys Stop Train. Standing in a row across the tracks| at a crossing near Aylesbury, England. | five small boys refused to budge until an approaching train stopped. The en- gineer blew the whistle and applied brakes, bringing the engine to a stand- | still within three feet of the lads. By the time he had dismounted from his cab the five had run away, laughing. BIRTH RATE FALLS TO NEW LOW POINT Census Bureau Reports Fewer Children Born Since Regis- tration Was Opened. ‘The Census Bureau birth rate clock is now ticking at the slowest rete since the inauguration of the nation- wide registration service in 1915, offi- clals reported yesterday. The 1931 rate as reported by the bureau was 17.8 births per 1.000 popu- lation. The 1930 rate was 19.8. The infant mortality rate fell from 64.7 per 1,000 live births to 61.7, it was pointed out. ‘Totals of 2,084,443 births, 128,645 deaths of infants under 1 year of age and 80,248 stillbirths were reported last year. New Mexico had the highest birth | rate and the highest infant mortality rate last year, although the greatest number of births and infant deaths occured, of course, in the populous States of New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois and Ohio, officials said Nevada had the fewest number of births and the lowest birth rate, while Towa reported the lowest infant mor- tality rate. WOULD-BE RECRUIT THIRSTS TG FALIST Air Service Attracts Young Chinese Who Writes Letter to Tell Reason Why. ‘Thousands of young men in all walks of life apply to the Army and Navy fiy- ing services each year to enter avia- | tion, but one of the most fervent pleas has been received from a Chinese youth in the Philippines. His application, | made to an Air Corps officer stationed | at Nichols Pield, Rizal, follows: | “Dear Sir: Let me beg respectfully for a favour from you, My Lord. I am of the higher school, both English and Chinese. 1 devote an aeroplane-life, every time I hear the sound of the aeroplane, my heart become light and fecl ‘Alr-life is the most joyful work’ My heart is very thirsting in learning to fiy yet the circumstance is too evil, and not promise to do so. After think- ing over thinking I observe that the only way which appear to me, is begging from you, My Lord, for a kind help. Would you, My Lord, allow me to serve | in your department and let me to have |'a chance to learn to fly.” GREATEST JULY CLEARANCE SALE!
