           Special to the Herald.
           SUPERIOR, WIS., Feb. 26. - Employes of the Great Northern
         Railway early today saw an aeroplane soarking over the docks
         at Allouez, for nearly an hour and a half.
           The machine was first noticed at dawn, but about six in
         the morning, it proceeded toward the new plant of the
         Minnesota Steel company.
           The big elevators on Superior Bay, which are under guard
         of a special force of watchmen, were warned of the aero-
         planes presence.
           These elevators hold millions of bushels of grain for
         the Allies.
           The machine has been seen for two weeks near the Dupont
         Powder plant at Ashland, Wis., and the company has been
         receiving threatening letters.
