Such little kindnesses as this don': interfere with your fighting your best for your cause; at the same time they take a little of the savagery out of war- Of courss, the rule could not apply to prisoners taken in trench fighting—only to airmen.

Waltham, Mass., Aug. 27.—Three | men were drowned last night as a re- | sult of the swamping of a float which ! had taken part in a carnival on the Charles river, two hours after it had | | passed in review before the state ex- | ecutives, who are attending the an- nual conference of governors in Bos- ton. The lives of twenty other per- | , sons were imperilled in the accident | to this float, and in the capsizing of another. The dead are: William Chase, John Caine and Joseph | Maguire. | They were members of a party of | fourteen men and one woman, who had parts on a float called “Charity.” "Which the local lodge of Elks con- | tributed to the carnival. When the | float began to take in water eight of {the men jumped overboard, some ‘Wnfizh{(‘d with armor which had been | part of their costumes. Those who remained on the float were quickly taken off by canoeists. In the meantime a second float con- taining fifteen members of the car- nival committee overturned at an- other point on the river. All those aboard were thrown into the water, but so far as is known all were picked | up by the crowds of canoeists who | flocked to the scene. RUSSIAN SCIENTIST ACTS AS AIR SCOUT Professor, in Captured German Plane | | | | { | | | i | Flies Over Teutonic Lines in Galicia. (Correspondence of the Associated Press.) Petrograd, July 30.—A well known | Russian scientist of the universities, has recently tinguished himself at the front as an air scout. He went with the army to Galicia as a volunteer, and while there interested himself in aviation, becoming a very useful observation officer by rcason of his scieatific | knowledge. ; A few days ago a German plane apparently by mistake, descended be- hind the Russian lines, and the pi- lot and ' observation officer were promptly taken prisoners, before they even had an opportunity to destroy or wreck their machine. The professor, with a military pi- lot, immediately saw his chance and climbed into the captured aeroplane. They rose as rapidly as possible in or- der to escape any firing from their own side and made for the German lines.
