' New, RAILWAY LINE oven FOR _TRAFFIO. -

ADELAIDE, South Australia. ‘April 12.-An event in the railways history of South Australia, which marked the ultimate conclusion of an agitation which has extended over a number of

short time ago. when his Excellency the Governor, Sir Henry Galway. de- clared the new line from Adelaide open for traffic. The official cere- mony was attendsd by a very large gathering, among the many prominent citizens present being the Premier, the Hon. A. H. Peaks. M.P.. the Commis- sioner of Crown Lands and immigra- tion, Sir Richard Butler. M.P., and the Commissioner of Public Works, the‘ lion. George Ritchie, M.P.

The new railway, which was built- in three sections, has a total length of 34 miles, and the estimate of its cost, in- cluding rolling stock, was £465,160. The route of the lino is mainly on the western slopes of the Mt. Lofty ranges, and though its construction did not necessitate the building of any tunnels, there are several deep cuttings "and long embankments. The first section of the railway from Adelaide to Hai- lettfs Cove, and which serves Brighton, lfpopular seaside resort, has-been open for trafllce for some months.

Willunga is one of the-oldest settled districts in the state. and in addition to being very fertile, boasts of several large slate quarries. At several of the townships served by the lino are located important manufacturing in- duatries.

THRILLING AIR BATTLE SEEN BY BELGIAN MAJOR.

‘ FURNES, Belgium. via Paris, April 1i.--A dramatic duel in the air. in which a Gcrman aircraft was brought down by Roland G. Garros, a famous lfronoh aviator, inside the Allied lines, was described last night by Major llaoul Pontus, son of the former Bel- gian lliinistcr of War. who witnessed the combat. Tho German at first suc- ceoded in rising above Garros‘ machine. but tho latter, by a clever twist, escaped and then ilew atop the German.

“From this moment. the German's position became critical." said Major Pontus, " for Garros overlook him rapidly. Presently tho crackling of a quiolt-lirer showed the Frenchman iudlod himself sufficiently near to take tho offensive. Could the German escapof lt socmcd difllcuuit. for Gar- ros shot forward in groat bounds. get- ting ncaror and nearer-but the Ger- man observer uuscd his carbine freely and it aeomed that» a bullet might strlko tho Frenchman.

" Suddenly a long jot ot-white smoke gushed from tho German machine and than u. iittlejlame which in an instant enveloped tho whole aeroplane. Not- withstanding tho oxtremo periII tho pilot took to flight, but his effort to esca e soon was converted into a hor tying downward plunge. The aeroplane. a mass of flames, struck the ground-with a sickening thud a score of yards from me. and a column of black smoke. mingled witwsheets of lire,“ poured from the‘ fallen machine.

"I ran to the aeroplane. which had fallen close to a ditch. and soon put out the fire. The aviators, horribly

THAW'8 COUNSEL HOPES

FOR COURTS DECISION.

NEW YORK. April low-Counsel for Harry K. Thaw hoped that a. decision would be rendered yesterday by the Appellate Division on Thaw's appeal from the order of Justice Page that he be returned to tbe- Matteawan Asy- lum. Whether the court ordered him back to Matteawan or gave him liberty to return to New Hampshire it was understood that either the state or his attorneys would be given an opportu- nity to take the case before the Court of Appeals.

Arguments on the order obtained by Thaw's counsel requiring the state to show cause why he should not have a jury trial on the question of his sanity has been set for Monday next. Abe I. Smith, one of Thaw's attorneys, said that there was a possibility that an order of the court permitting Thaw to return to New Hampshire would make further action on Thaw's part unnecessary. It was reported, how- GVOI‘. that Thaw was anxious for a jury trial on tho sanity issue regard- less of the decision of tho Appellate Division on the question of his return to New Hampshire.

HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES WILL WEAR $3 GOWNS

(Bangor Commercial)

Tho young ladies of the Senior class of the Bangor High School at a meet- ing rsceutiy hold. decided to make tho burden of graduation much lighter this year and will do this by limiting tho cost of graduation gowns to $3.

This will include tbc material and dressmaking. for thc lat- tor is to bo dono by

making, for tee latter ls to be dono by the younguladiee themselves. perhaps with the assistance of their relatives. The graduates have also been prom- ised the assistance‘ of the Federated Clubs, in the construction of thc gowns. _'l'ho majority of the members of the class havoagreed to the regu- lations and tho ruling will doubtless be generally‘ observed. This dotorm- ination was‘ reached iu order to rc- duco thc expenses of’ graduation in a senslblo manner and make the ovont a pleasant onc for those who cannot afford cxpcnsivo dresses. Thsrc have boeninatances in past years wboro young womon have oft school prior to graduation because they folt unable to mcct tho expense, but there will ex- ist no such cause this year. And thoro ls no doubt that the young lady graduates of Bangor High School will look charming in their home made gowns.

"Owlngio the" narrow range of vis- ion of the submarine through its peri- scope, compared to the range of its "own visibility from the bridge of a destroyer, it is qultc possible for a destroyer to perceive lt and reach thc spot travelling at full speed bcforc thc submarine in turn can sight thc do- stroyor and dlvo for safety. i

“it follows necesarlly that submar- ines should show themselves as little as posiblc on the surface of- the water. Recently. it has been repeatedly stat- ed tbat German submarines have sum- moned British or French steamers to stop and ordered the crew to leave thtfvessel by signal or megaphone. Tliat is doubtles humane. but it is ex- ceedingly dangerous and may be oven suicidal. - “Destroyers so far off, or in such a. light. as to bc invisible from a sub- marine, may be lurking or may nolo tho meeting of submarine and steamer and may rapidly approach the spot. hidden perhaps behind the merchant ship.‘ The delay in sinking the mer- chantmau may then easily prove fatal to the submarine.

"The torpedo boat ls the submar- Inc's worst enemy. They can be used iu all waters. There are large num- bers of them available. They are ex- ceedingly mobile. and can rise from passivity to maximum speed at a mo- ment’s notice. They carry-guns with very rapid fire and capable of mor- tally injuring at a considerable dis- .lance anymubmarlile showing itself on the surface.”

TO EXCLUDE ALIENS FROM CHINA IS PLAN.

PEKIN, April IL-The Chinese Gov- ernment has received an outline of tho note of the United States Govern- ment to Japan concerning the de- mands mado upon China by Japan and of the reply of the Japanese Govern- ment. it is said this reply was made on ‘March 22 by Takaaki Kato, Japan- ese Minister of Foreign Affairs. The Chinese report says that the Ameri- can note covered twenty pages and specifically asked five questions. These questions and the replies of Japan thereto are sct forth as fullows:—— "The United States inquired concern- ing Japan's demand that in the pro- vince of Fukien Japan shall have tho right to work mines, build railroads and construct harbor works, and in case of thc employment of foreign cap- ital that Japan shall be first consulted. The Japanese Government replied that these concessions worc decided upon for tho primary purpose of preventing other nationalities from acquiring spc- cial rights there, Japan understanding that Americans wish to build dock- yards in the harbor of Santuno."

This position is of great strategic importance, Japan pointed out, on ac- count ‘of tho possibility of its use for directing operations against Formosa in csso of war. ~

"The second question concerned the Japanese demand for supervision over tho manufacture or purchase of war munitions by China. Tile Japanese Government expressed thc opinion that this question should bc solved most satisfactorily by tho employment of mixed forces of Japanese and Cbincsc, a system which, Japan says, already exists.

“Tho tblrd question dcall. with the Japanese demand that tho Chinese police in certain placos be adminis- tered Jointly by Japaness and Chinese officials, or that China shall employ numerous Japanese to organize the Chinese police. The Ja aneee Govern- ment replied that this emand applied only to the Southern Manchuria.

"The fourth question concerned the demand for employment by China of Japanese political advisers. Japan ro-

be imposed upon China, but merely

recommended.

"The fifth question related to the

demand Japan was said to have made. that “No island port along the coast
