GERMANY HAS 1900 MODERN AIRPLANES

Berlin-The number of aeroplanes
which the German army has available
for active service has been enormous
ly increased during the last few
months. The number mentioned by
one who has returned from Germany
is 1900 aeroplanes of modern type,
exclusive of school machines and the
slower military machines of year
ago.
In support of this, it is known that
for some time the Mercedes motor
firm has been turning out 130 to 14O
aero-engines month, these all being
of the 100 horsepower cylinder type,
which has, during the past two
months, broken all the worlds records
for height and duration.
In addition, the Benz company has
been producing about half as many
and the minor firms, such as the Ar
gus and N. A. G., have also been con-
tributing large numbers. One can
safely put the German aeroplane en-
gine output down at something like
$50 month, and as each engine
means an aeroplane in which to fit
it, the estimate of 1900 may not be
far from the truth.
The number of pilots to ily these
machines may not be as great, but it
is larger than that of any o.ner coun-

GEORGE ARLIss IN "DIsRAELLr

The return of George Arliss, the
great English actor, to Toledo, which
will be for one date only, Thursday
evening, September "a, at The Valen-
tine, will afford patrons of Toledo the
atres another opportunity to see an
impersonation which is justly famous
in stage annals.
A most intensely interesting play
has been written around the brilliant
English statesman. Louis N. Parker,
author of the drama, has succeeded in
creating Disraeli which is probable,
convincing and in every way worthy
of the great figure which it repres-
ents.
George Arliss makes this character
live and forceful personality on the
boards. Arliss' presentation of Dis
raelli is most notable success of his
tronic art. The cast which supports
Arliss is competent in every way. The
play is staged with the most lavish
outlay.
The plot is woven around the abil-
ity of Disraeli to thwart enemies of
his country and at the same time aid
the love affair of charming protege.
Thrills are plenty, but they are not of
the melodramatic sort and measure up
in every way to the stupendous scenes
they are supposed to represent.

The more recent addition to the
fleet are capable of we'll exceeding
fifty miles per hour, which speed,
however, some of the older vessels can
not quite attain. By travelling at re-
duced speeds, of course, the duration

Gently published articles the number
of Germany's first-class airships is un-
derestimated, the two newest vessels
not being included.
"Germany's big airships have been
designed and trained for war, and that
they will be used is certain; whether
their use will prove effective remains
to be seen. Their effective practical
range may be put at 1000 mills, al
though far greater voyages can be
made by the six newer vessels, where
distance is the one consideration. In
this article it will be assumed that
the moderate range of 1000 miles is
their capacity.
"The points from which the air
ships can operate are the airship sta
tions, where hydrogen gas and all
necessary stores can be obtained, and
the western chain of stations are of
chief interest to England and France.

SUNS RAYS CAUSE MANY FIRES

ly fires, both on farms and in the city.
He says many fires would be preven-
ted If the people were educated to
the fact that the sun is a dangerous
agency in starting Olazes, and would
use care in cases where the sun rays
shine through glass or on bright metal.

ed to the kitchen to find the whole
side of the room on fire. The SUN rays
shining through the window pane had
set these matches on fire and they
had set the building.
At Holton building was found to
be on fire. 1t was almost new, and no
cause for the fire in a corner OF the
roof could be found until someoI dis
covered that a piece of tin had not
been painted and the sun rays on it
had set the roof afire.
A bubble in window pane of a
home in Mcpherson County concen-
trated the sun rays on a spot on a
lace curtain and set it on fire.
The sun shining upon the heavy
rolled edge of a glass fish bowl in a
home in Mitchell County set a table
runner on fire, and the home burned.
1t is not unusual to hear Of grass
being set afire by the sun shining
upon bright metals. The peculiar
thing about the fires caused by the
sun rays Is that they happen at any
time of the year 1t would ordinarily
be supposed that the sun rays would
not be concentrated into enough heat
upon cold winter day, but some Of
the fires caused by sun rays came in
January and February and one in De-
cember.
Another seemingly impossible fire
cause is electricity generated by fric-
ton. The wind whipping blades of
grass against wire fences has caused
many prairie fires. Special investiga-
ton by electrical experts in Western
Kansas are said to have demonstrated
that the high winds and constantly
blowing tall grass against wire fences
produced sufficient electricity to cause
spark an inch long and of sufficient
brilliancy to set the grass on fire.
About 80 prairie fires which resulted
in loss of hay and several homes and
barns are said to have been the direct
result of this sort of flame generator.

Writing about the battle Of Charlie

says:
There in the narrow streets the
carnage was indescribable. The
French infantrymen told me that the
roads became so jammed with dead
that the killed remained standing up
right where they had been shot, sup
ported by their dead comrades. The
last stand of the French was made
before the railway station, in front of
which passes the canal Here the
Germans fought for hours to take the
bridges. After they had captured the

WIN MOSES KILLED.

Sam Moses, of Minneapolis, passed
through Custer Monday morning on his
way to Belle Fourche with the remains
of his brother, Sheriff William Moses,
who was shot and killed at Rosebud,
Montana on January 10th by John II.
Burgess, formerly close friend and
deputy sheriff. Moses had gone to the
Burgess home to serve warrant on him,
when Burgess shot him down. Mrs.
Burgess, it is declared, just previously
had stepped out on to the porch with a
rifle and in the shooting was wounded
in the shoulder. The fact that the wife
of Moses had left him and gone to live
with the Burgess's, is believed to have
caused bad feeling between the two men
who had been boosom friends.
"Billy" Moses was one Of the best
known and most popular peace officers
in the west, and during his life had done
as much as any one man in the country
to assist in ridding the west of horse
thieves and other law breakers. For
eight years he was sheriff of Butte coun-
ty, and during these years the law
breakers of western South Dakota, east
ern Montana and Wyoming learned to
fear the nervy little sheriff who left nc
stone unturned to get the man he was
after. He was elected sheriff of Rose.

HEDRICK-FA ELLIS
FOR GAME PRESERvE q

Statements have appeared In eastern
South Dakota papers and press stuff has
been sent out from Pierre which would
lead to the belief that State Game War
den Hedrick is opposed to the establish
ment of the state game preserves near
Custer in the Black Hills and that it is
this alleged opposition Of his that is re-
sponsible in part at least, for the delay
that is being experienced in proceeding
with the work incident to establishing
such preserve. 1t has been given out
that Hedrick finds the people of the
Black Hills are lacking in interest in
promoting the project and that unless
they assume a different attitude in the
matter, it is probable the money that
would have been expended here will be
diverted to the eastern part of the state.
Deputy State Game Warden NEdholm
is authority for the assertion that He.
drick has been falsely charged in this
matter; that it is in fact Longstaff of
Huron who is using what little influence
he has to defeat the establishment of
the preserve here. Hedrick, he says,
is openly in favor of the Black Hills pre-.
serve and is doing all in his power to
forward it, He had ordered fifty head
of elk 10 be placed there, and at the
time work on the fence was stopped by
court action he was enclosing portion
of the preserve for the use of the elk
when they arrive from the Yellowstone
national park reservation. Hedrick
knows that the Black Hills region is the
natural and proper place for wild game
preserve and having the best interest of
his department at heart, is allowing no
sectional feeling to interfere or influence
his work. There is an element in the
eastern part ofthe state that would divert
everything ofimportance from the Black
Hills district, if possible, and are active
in the move to haye practically all of
the game fund expended over there,
notwithstanding that more than two
thirds of the license fees, that 20 to make
up the fund, are collected in the Black
Hills counties.
At the time the work on the Black
Hills preserve was stopped by raising
the question of the legality of the ex-
penditure, all the materials for the fence,
which will surround tract twelve miles
long and eight miles wide, had been de-
livered and about eighteen miles of post
holes had been dug. 1t will now be
necessary to await action by the supreme
court, before the work can proceed.
There appears to be little doubt, how
ever, which way the court will decide
