new FIGHTING FORCE
FRENCH ARMY OFFICERS EXPERT
MENTiNG' WITH EAGLES.
Send Big Birds Against Aeroplanes
Which They FiereeIy Attack and
Turn Upside Down-Must
Seek Protection.

An interesting experiment, in view
Of the fact that the worlds armies
are now facing the problem Of how to
cope with the new force In warfare
the aeroplane, Is being conducted by
q number of French officers at Nice.
The idea, it seems, was suggested
by the fate Of the famous aviator,
Rogers, who met death because sea-
gull flew against him and disturbed
his control of his machine. The off,
GERS argued amongst themselves that
if modest-sized bird such as the sea-
gull could wreck an aviator, the pow
erful eagle could surely become a
terrific fighting and wrecking force in
the air. So, as Nice is but few miles
from the Alpine home Of the Swiss
eagle, six birds were Immediately put
into training.
Machines resembling aeroplanes in
shape, but supported by balloons, to
which were attached pieces Of meat,
were sent up, and the eagles let loose.
With fierce cries and Tapping Of their
wings they attacked the aeroplanes
and tore the meat from them. In their
eagerness they fight one another, and
the aeroplane is sometimes turned up
side down in their struggles. It is
inconceivable that any men in an aero
plane, even if there were three or four
of them, could retain control of their
machine in face of such an attack.
One after another the eagles attack
all the aeroplane balloons until they
are wrecked, and their trainers feel
certain that they will now attack
real aeroplanes with men in them with
the same ferocity.
How will the birdmen parry these
attacks? Suppose they carry revolv-
ers or short repeating rifles; to shoot
a bird in the air is notoriously diff
cult, but to shoot half-a-dozen swoop-
ing down and clawing at you all at
once, seated in a trembling aeroplane,
would be well-nigh an impossibility.
The suggestion is made that fight
ing machines shall have round them
electric wires that will give the eagles
a powerful shock as they touch them.
TO do this it will be necessary to car
ry dry battery, and this will add to
the weight Of the machine. The wires,
moreover, will increase the danger
and difficulty Of guiding the aeroplane.
The aviator Is likely to touch one Of
the wires and lose control Of his car,
with fatal result. But the bird.men
VIII certainly have to find ways of
protecting themselves against the war
eagles. We may well ask: What

Raise ElOre Hogs.

Atlanta, Ca, June 26.-In an effort
to encourage Southern farmers TO
raise more hogs. the Southern railway,
through it's live stock department,
has issued. booklet entitled, "Hog
Production and Conditions for Success
in the South" a copy of which Will
be furnished on request by F. L..
Ward, Live Stock Agent, Atlanta, Ga
The booklet contains much practi-
cal and valuable information as to
the care and feeding of hogs. selection
of breeds, treatment of diseases and
cutting and curing meat. Chapters
on each subject have been supplied by
experts.
That the South consumes more pork
anil raises less than any other part of
the United States despite the fact that
pork can be produced more cheaply in
the South than in the North or West,
is we'll known fact and condition
that greatly impedes the progress of
the section. The long open season
and the great variety of food crops at
his command give the Southern farmer
the opportunity to make more money
raising hogs than is possible in any
other territory.
The live stock department of tie
Southern railway devotes its efforts
entirely to stimulating interest in live
stock raising in the territory along the
Southern railway and the services of
it's experts are available with out charge
of any kind to any farmer or other
person interested in live stock.

DISCLOSURES TO JURY
PROMPTS WAR ON VICE
Why John D. Rockefeller, Jr., En-
listed in Crusade Against
Social Evil.

NEW YORK, January 29.--How John
D. Rockefeller, jr.. became Interested in
the campaign for vice suppression which
resulted in the foundation of the bureau
of social hygiene was told Monday night
by District Attorney Whitman at the
sixteenth annual dinner of the Young
Mems Bible Glass of the Fifth Avenue
Baptist Church, of which Mr.. Rockefeller
is vice president.
Mr.. Whitman said that when Mr.. Rock
grand jury which investigated white
slave conditions in this city he visited
Judge O'Sullivan and asked to be eXcus-
ed. Business interests and a trip out of
the city. he said, would make 1t difficult
for him to serve.
Judge O. Sullivan declined to excuse him
and announced his intention of making
MIR. Rockefeller foreman, saying he was
the only man the whole city would trust
for this important work.
Il believe Judge O'Sullivan never rem
dered a better service to this city and
nation" said Mr.. Whitman than he
did when he appointed Mr.. Rockefeller
Under his direction the body worked ably
and carefully for months. Its report on
vice conditions was the best that has ever
been given out either in this city or
country.
Mr.. Rockefellers interest did not
cease then-in fact, it had only just be-
gun l feel that the service which he
rendered then and which he has contin-
ued is 10 be the greatest work of its kind
ever carried out in this country"
