FRENCH LOSS MOUNTS HIGH
Three Hundred Thousand Slain and
Wounded Up to and including
Battle of Marine.

New York; letter received by
New York physician from a reputable
source in France contains the star
Ting information that the French
losses (killed, wounded and prisoners)
for the six weeks fighting up to and
including the battle of the Marine were
slightly over 100000, perhaps $4,000.
These losses are exclusive OF the
British casualties, which, the writer
says, have been fairly large in COM
parison to the email number of their
engaged army
If credence may be placed in the
French statements that in most cases
the German losses were larger than
those sustained by the French, Il
would seem to be a fair estimate of
the German losses. in killed. wounded
and prisoners, for the same six weeks
at close to 100000 men in the western
theater of war alone, not taking into
account their losses In the fighting
sgs inst the Russians.

AlRsHIp AS NEWS eETTER
Hudson Maxim, the Noted Inventor,
Says II Is Ally Of the War
Correspondent.

Port Deposit, Md-The present war
in Europe has shown that aviation is
one of the most important arms OF
the military service, declares Hudson
Maxim, the noted inventor, in an ad-
dress to the boys of the Tome school
here. Mr.. Maxim came to lecture for
the school, and took as his topic
aerial warfare, especially the aerial
warfare of the future, built upon les
sons learned from the present war.
Aviation makes 1t possible to keep
one army informed of the position and
the movements of the other" said Mr..
Maxim so as to render surprise at
tacks in force impossible. The aero
plane is also great news gatherer
and is the strong ally of the newspa,
per correspondent.
Il believe that the aeroplane will be
more important war engine than
the dirigible balloon. There are
strong indications that aeroplanes
may be made of sufficient size and
power for the transportation of troops
with arms for very effective fighting.
Had either of the warning nations of
today known before the war what they
have since learned, each side would
be equipped with large fleets of aero
planes.
In future wars it will be the first
aim to clear the skies of flying ma
chimes of an enemy in short, swift
scouting machines, troop carriers for
raiding purposes, and those manned
and equipped as aeroplane destroyers,
just as we have torpedo destroyers
today.
"The small damage which has been
done by bombs dropped from aero
planes and balloons has fully demon
strated that little result can be ex-
pected from aerial bombardments."

CROPS SUFFER FROM "RUsT"
Warm Weather May Be One Cause,
But More Important Is the Lack
Of Proper-prainage.

Wheat, oats and other crops suffer
from rust" more In the South than
elsewhere. The warmer weather may
be one cause, but more important is
the lack of drainage When differ
ences in the composition of the soil
is thought to influence the occurrence
Of rust it is probably question of
drainage. Grains grown on soils that
remain water-logged for a long time
after heavy rain are almost certain
to suffer more from rust than better
drained soils.
