DOUGLAS AND TREADWELL NEWS NOTES
JACOB JACKSON IS
FOUND IN VANCOUVER
SICK IN HOSPITAL
DOUGLAS, March 20.—Jacob Jack
son, who has been reported as miss
ing for the past several days, noth
ing having been heard from him r,l
Seattle for which plage he left here
February 28 on the steamer Princess j
Sophia, has been found in Vancou
ver, B. C., where he is sick in a hos
pital. The following cablegram was
received here this morning from Ed
win Jackson, his son, who is in train
ing at Fort Worden near Port Town
send, Wash:
"Have located Dad. He is sick in
hospital in Vancouver, Will wirtj
his condition as soon as I get par
ticulars.”
From the above it is believed that
Mr. Jackson must have contracted
some ailment, probably pneumonia,
on the way down the coast and that
when he reached Vancouver he went
at once to a hospital and, not wishing
to worry his family in Douglas, did
not inform them of his condition as
he likely expected to be out in a
short time. News of his being id
eated is a great relief to his wife,
children and friends here who have |
been busily wiring in regard to him
for the past four days. Only last
night a message was sent to Marshal
J. M. Tanner, who is due in Seattle
today, to take up the seareh for
Jackson.

Germans Do Not Want the
Enemy to Know How
Many Airplanes They
Are Losing.
m
PARIS, March 1. (Correspondence
of the Associated Press).—Germasn
are trying to conceal their airplane
losses and augment those of the En
j tcnte Allies, according to French
| officials.. Their last coqiqmuique
| on the subject sajq’that “in Decem
ber the enemy aerial forces have
lost 119 airplanes and nine captive
balloons. We have lost in aerial
combats 82 airplanes and two rap
tiv balloons.”
French authorities report that in
December the English brought
down 65 German machines and the
French 4 1. making a total of lofi
instead of 84 admitted by the G< r
mans. The French claim of enemy
machines does not include 25 Ger
man' machines which were seen to
fall but the less of which has not
been officially confirmed. The con:
bitted British and French aerial
losses during December were 42
machines instead of 128 claimed by
Germany. Of these British lost 22
and the French 11.
The German "camouflag'''’ in the
communique h found the words “in
aerial combats.” it is pointed oet
that the Germans forget to include
the number of their machines that
were brought down by anti-aircraft
guns of the Allies while they claim
as losses all allied machines seen
to fall within their own lineis and
many of which are virtually un
damaged.
MANY COWBOYS ARE
SERVING WITH THE
MOVING PICTURES
EL PASO, Tex., March 19.—War
and the moving pictures have deplet
ed the- ranks of cowboys to round up,
cut out and herd cattle.
W. L. Amonett, secretary of the
Panhandle Southwestern Stockmen’s
Association, says the cattlemen are
all complaining because of a scarcity
of labor on the cattle ranches. The
army has drawn heavily on the
ranches for men. especially the cav
alry. The draft took many more
while the moving picture companies
have commandeered other cowboys
to make the Western films.
This has led to the older cattle
men reluming to the saddle for
work on the range to take the place
of the young men who have gone.
