DETROIT GREETS

Elisabeth Gourlay Is author OF the
letter to New York students from

Detroit's desirable qualities In q most
interesting way:
eY ELISABETH GouRLAY,
Field School.
Detroit. which was first settled by
the French jesuit priests. is a great
manufacturing center. Being situated
on the Detroit river. which connects
Lake st. Clair with Lake Erie, we
have splendid route to the ocean.
We can also send goods very easily
by rail. "a we have many railroads
leading into Detroit.
We lead the world In the manufac-
turing OF automobiles. auto accessories
and adding machines. We also have
the largest seed house and the LARGEST

The newest idea in the construction
of aeroplanes, especially for use in
war time, is to render them as nearly
transparent as possible. To this end
studies are now being made Of cellu-
loids and other materials which might
possibly be utilized as wings and
which would be sufficiently transpar-
ent to make them less conspicuous in
the sky than are materials now in use.
While the primary object in making
aeroplanes transparent is to prevent
them from being seen by the enemy, it
would have an added advantage IN
permitting the aviator to see in all di-
rections and thus render his air scous
work more efficient. Several machines
have been put into operation within
the last three months which are
equipped with transparent wings of
uninfammable ce1luloid and are al
most invisible when few hundred
feet in the air.
A new muffling box has also been
devised which serves to still further
deaden the sound and thus enables the
operators to get closer to the enemy
without his presence being detected.
The substitution of the specially pre-
pared ceIIuloid for the canvas is ex-
pected to mark distinct advance in
aeroplanc manufacture although it is
as yet too recent development to
have established IFS reliability.

The failure of the Democrats 10
pass the postoffice appropr alton bill
In the last Con gFess has shamefully
crippled the rural free delivery
service.
Members of Congress declare that
complaints they are receiving from
both rural carriers and patrons have
been more numerous and bitter in
the last few months than for years
before.
Rural carriers claim that they have
suffered chiefly on two counts; ono
that although they are under civil
sarvTce, there have been hundreds
o. dssmissals without Just cause; the
other that their routes have been
Enlightened and their work Increased
without additional pay
The complaints from patrons OF the
rural routes are uniformly based upon
sweeping reductions in the service.
The condition causing these COM
pladnts are due to the failure of the
postpfica appropriation bill and the
Consequent necessity for managing
the postal service under q re-enact-
menf of last years appropriation.
The principal changes ordered by
the department reducing the carrier
force arises first. by the proposed
consolidation of about ], 500 routes26

The allied nations OF Europe nave
declared cotton contraband and. while
this step is most repugnant to the
a nerican people, the hest authorities
on Intentional law are agreed thai
thew have an absolute right to do 50.
Cotton has become an Indispensable
materfal for the manufacture OF Nigh
explosives, as much SO as saltpeleE.
and there is abundant precedent for
declaring gun-powder and other forms
of explosives and their component ma

Furthermore, our own governm,nl

Some Mexican Truth.

Reports have been received fro11
two trustworthy correspondents IN
Mexico which throw an interestins
light on the situation there One says
IN part: at is all bunk about these
(the insurgent) armies being. com
posed of the same type OF cutthroars
that manned the pirate ships. They
are simply big, disorganized mobs
ravaging the country and fighting
other mobs for the plumber. Former
iroustabouts here are now generals
and colonies In these armies living
on the best in the land free of charge
and respondent with diamonds and
big hats"
The other says of the Mexican peo-
pie: ..Thetr religion is gone. They
have lost all respect for their govern
ment and the Representatives OF our
government But. it seems to me. they
are deserving OF some sympathy, for
It was our interference in their af-
fairs, refusing recognition of the cen
trail authority which held them in CON
troll, which brought them to their
present low state, morally and physi-
cally.''

They struggled on once more. Night came and brought with it half-sooth- in5, half-torturing coolness. That vain straining of the eyes upon the horizon at any rate was spared to them. They slept in a fashion, but soon after dawn they were on their feet again Suddenly Quest, who had gone little out of his way to mount a low range of sand hills, waved his arm furiously. He was holding his field-glasses to his eyes. It was won- derful how that ray of hope trans formed them. They hurried to where he was. He passed the glasses to the professor

 The professor almost snatched the glasses.
 "It is quite true," he agreed Tt is caravan crossing at right angles to our direction. Comei They will see us before long"
 Presently three or four horsemen detached themselves from the main body and came galloping towards them. The eyes of the little party glistened as they saw that the fore most haA water-bottle slung around his neck. He came dashing up, way ing his arms.
 You lost, people?" he asked. Want water?"
 They almost snatched the bottle from him. It was like pouring life into their veins. They all, at the pro- fessor's instigation, drank sparingly. Quest. with a great sigh of relief, lit cigar.
 Some adventure, this!" he de- clared.
 The professor, who had been talking to the men in their own language, turned back towards the two girls.
 .'It is a caravan" he explained, of peaceful merchants on their way to Jaffa. They are halting for us, and we shall be able. without doubt, to arrange for water and food and a camel or two horses. The man here asks If the ladies will take the horses and ride?"
 They started off gayly to where the caravan had come to standstill. They had scarcely traversed hundred yards. however, before the Arab who was leading Lenora's horse came to 8 sudden standstill. He pointed with his arm and commenced to talk in ar excited fashion to his two companions From across the desert, facing them came little company of horsemen galloping fast and with the sunlight flashing upon their rifles.
 "The Mongars," the Arab cried pointing wildly. "They attack the caravan"
 The three Arabs talked together for moment in an excited fashion. Then. without excuse or warning, they swung the two women to the ground. leaped
