The German cuirsers Breslau, Geoben and Panther had been bombarding Bona, the French naval base in North Africa, and other Algerian ports, when word was received that the British squadron from Malta was approaching. Steaming to the westward to escape this danger, the three vessels fell in with a superior French force. A furious battle ensued. The Panther was hit! in a vital part and its magazine exploded. mediately and most of its crew perished. The Geoben’s machinery was disabled and it surrendered. The Breslau fled, but had been badly damaged and was soon overtaken by the French warships. Re- sistance was hopeless and it struck its colors. During the bombardment at Bona eight broad-| sides were fired into the town by the Breslau. A large number of houses were knocked down and there were a number of casualties. at Thnk about if Lune Just Que Mavs Qaviav | | “Because | have refused to be a worshiper at the shrine of the ruling tribe, | am somewhat of an outcast and a good deal of a crank.” So says Ole Hanson, in his letter to Bob Boyce.

So, therefore, Ole is “somewhat of an outcast and a good deal of a crank.” I've lived in this town a number of years, and Ole’s description of himself, as viewed by some people, is not amiss. They do look upon him as a crank, as erratic. They cannot understand why Ole should fight shy of the Smart Set. They cannot see why Ole should worry about the problems of the masses. And because they cannot eee why Ole is not a comformist, they call him erratic. Thus it always been.

TWO THOUSAND AIRSHIPS ARE READY! Mammoth Fleets of Aeroplanes on Dirigibles Will Make European Struggle a Conflict in the Clouds PARIS, Aug. 5.—Will the present European conflict be fought in the air? Two thousand one hundred and ten aeroplanes and dirigibles, manned by trained army officers and owned by six great powers, are heing made ready for the great strug- | gle—if the struggle comes to a fighting point France has 750 aerial warships, dirigibles and aeroplanes with trained crews. Germany comes next with 500—per- haps more efficient than even the French airships, an capably manned with fighting men—scientjfic aviators— soldiers. A Russia comes third on the list of aerial armament_with a fleet of 380. Italy has 200, Austria 150 and England 130. gives a total of over 2,000 airships, built on the lat- est scientific military plans, ready to destroy each other in the air—to hurl death into cities and towns and to play of army and navy This the role scouts! | France for some time has lived in constant fear that the aeroplanes of the German | army would some day fly over and bring destruction to her | cities and fortresses.

From the Krupp factory there is now being turned out a t fire-bomb that sheds a bright light, not only during its flight, but it strikes the earth. it immediately ignites any inflammable material with which It comes in contact—its explosion is terrific. Lower Searchlights to Aid Gunners: A searchlight has been perfected which will suspend 500 feet below the airship so that the gunners are aided in directing their fire | where it will do the most damage. Another Krupp bomb explodes high up in the air and destroys’ airships sailing below the ship from which it is thrown overboard, It also emits dense smoke which gives the aeropiane time to escape In recent aeroplane maneuvers in Germany, a torch was attached to a long wire and hung from a moving aeroplane.

More damage can be done with the German aerial fleet in six hours than with the German navy in six weeks, according to experts.
