brjtona Full Of Zeal.

THE arrival Of reinforcements and
the continued advance have delighted
our troops who are full Of zeal and
anxious to press on. One of the feat.
ures of the campaign on our side has
been the success obtaineN by the Royal
Flying corps. In regard to the collec.
ton of information 1t Is impossible
either to award too much praise to
our aviators for the way they have car
ried out their duties or to overesti.
mate the value Of the intelligence col
lected
The constant object Of our aviators
have been to effect an accurate loca.
ton OF the enemy's forces and Incl.
dentally since the operations cover so
large an area OF our units. The tactics
adopted for dealing with hostile air
crafts are to attack them instantly
with one or more British machines.
This has been so far successful that
in five cases the German pilots or
observers have been shot while In the
air and their machines brought to
ground. AS consequence the British
flying corps had succeeded in estab.
fishing an individual ascendancy. The
enemy have recently become much less
enterprising In their flight.
Few Bombs Dropped.
Bomb dropping has not been in
dulged in to any great extent. On one
occasion a petrol bomb was success
fully exploded in German bivouac
at night, while from diary found on
dead German cavalry soldier 1t has
been discovered that q high explosive
bomb, thrown at cavalry column from
one OF our aeroplanes struck an am.

plosion which killed fifteen of the

The happy mother, Mrs. Elizabeth

present and the bonds of fellowship
and love between them and their num-
erous relatives were drawn just little
tighter by the happy meeting.
Probably no other family in the
state could assemble SO large body
of direct descendants as was present
at this reunion. The Ingerson family
of Clinton county are the nearest COM
petitors, they having thirteen chill.
dren and about 100 direct descend
ants.

COMMISSIONER SELLS
AIMS TO AID INDIANS
Report Of Bureau Of Indian Affairs
Shows Effort to Promote
Activities.
Percentage Of Disease Is Large.
Tuberculosis and Trachoma Prev
alent Among Tribes.

Advance copies of the report Of the
bureau of Indian affairs for the hsca
year ended June 80, 1914. cover the
first yeaSs incumbency of Commits.
sioner Sells. whose controlling ambi-
ton, it is declared, is to promote the
industrial activities of the Indian pop
ulation.
| Since his assumption of office, the
commissioner states in his report, he
Ihas been impressed with the idea that
many of the natural resources of In
dian reservations which have been ex-
, plotted 10 the profit of the white man
might better be developed for the
| financial benefit of the Indians. Graz
/ ing lands and forests are pointed to as
two of the biggest resources of the In
dianS.
Found Service Disorganized.
| The report states that Commissioner
! Sells found the Indian service disor-
ganized and discouraged, and that he
has endeavored to place 1t on a sound
economic and efficient business basis.
working in harmony and with enthus-
iasm, with the view Of promoting the
best interests of the Indians.
With a thought of obtaining p clear
comprehension of the viewpoint of the
Indians. it has endeavored, he says. by
personal interviews and examinations
of correspondence with Indians to ac-
certain clearly their ideas with regard
to the efforts being made in their be-
half, and to this end he has made 1t a
practice, in the case Of every delega-
tion and every individual Indian visit
ing Washington, to understand their
point of view, and has given them his
personal attention whenever possible.
High Percentage of Disease.
The Indian population of 100000,
states the Commissioner, has a high
percentage of tuberculosis and ira
choma. 1t is estimated that there are
$4,000 suffering with tuberculosis and
$4,000 afflicted with trachoma- Out Of
$4,000 Indians on reservations 61,2Ol
were examined last year, and it was
learned that tuberculosis was present
in 5000 cases and trachoma in 1900.
At the close of the fiscal year 1913
there were fifty hospitals with a COM
blned capacity of 1,400 patients, and
six new hospitals under construction.
Plans have been prepared for the build
ing of seven small hospitals at a cost
of from $4,000 to $4,000.
The forests are one of the Indians
biggest resources, declares the report
There are approximately eighty saw
mills on Indian lands, the ownership
of which is divided equally between the
government and private individuals.
One mill during the year manufactured
S1,O0o,0OO feet of lumber.
