from various navy officers, as the
total need of the fleet This means
an equal number of trained officer
aviators and others trained in obser-
Vation to accompany them. So big
navy flying school must be developed.
There seems to be no doubt as to
the ability of American manufactur-
ers to supply the machines. With a
market for their product abroad, the
infant industry has developed tremen-
dously, building for the Allies this
year a fleet much larger than the
army and navy together thinks of ac
quiring at present.
From the army the demand for air
craft is as insistent as from the navy.
The war had taught the generals that
their artillery is of little effect with
out aerial observation to "spot" the
hidden target.
The generals also want protection
against the spying of the enemy's
aeropanes, demand that must be
met by building fighting aircraft to
go aloft and drive off the enterpris
ing aviator scouts.
The war department is preparing
to put all these demands into definite
form before Congress Like the ma
Wy, il has been hampered by a lack
of funds. Officers and men enough
to man four aero squadrons. for eX-
ample, were authorized by Congress
year ago, but aeroplanes enough for

West Front Battle Line
Scene of Great Struggle

London, Sept. ct is believed that
cne Of tie greatest battles, or series
of battles, in the worlds history, has
been steadily developing on the west
front during the last two weeks.
The activity of the British navy in
Smelling the Germans ON The Belgian
coast; the remarkable raids by great
flocks of French aeroplanes; the
flowing mp Of German trenches with
English mines; the terrific lombard
ment Of German positions alike by
French and British-all these are be
lieved to be closely related factors in
the new aggressive poncy Of the Al
lies, which may result in a new rec
ord of warfare.
Since the Russians have secured
new ammunition and have checked the
German advance on the west, while
the Allies have made slow but steady
progress toward Constantinople, it is
felt here that a decided change has
come over the spirit Of the war,
which may imply victory for the Al
lies.
Reports that typhus and cholera are
ravaging Germany, Austria and Hun
gary also tend to confirm the great
public confidence in an outcome Of
the war favorable 10 the Allies.

i'll the fighting zones, and Grand Duke
Nicholas, who, as commander in chief
Of the Russian army, was one of tie
most conspicuous figures Of the Eu-
ropean war, has been transferred to
the Caucasus.
London is speeulating as 10 wha5
section Of the long eastern front will

Headquarters.
At the present moment Couland
appears to be the critical section Of
the line. General Ruzsky is in com
mand there, and Field Marshal Won
Hindenburg apparently is not making
any great progress against him.
The central sector has been held by
Grand Duke Nicholas, and efforts OF
the Germans to drive a wedge through
the swamps are proceeding very slow
ly.
The Galician wings, in command of
General Ivanoff, is making stubborn
stand against the Austirans and Ger
mans, who are engaged in tremen-
dous effort to drive the last Russian
from Austrian soil.

Almost Entire Block
Leading Stores Burned

Fire made great gap in the heart
Of the business district Of BraWlcy
Iast evening, originating in the office
Of the Imperial Valley Hardware Com
pany from some unknown cause.
The burned dish ct extends ON the
south side Of Mann street eastward
about POE feet, taking the entire block

frame restaurant building.
The fire started about $50 hast
evening and so soon as it became an-
parent that the home fire department,
could not handle tie blaze alone. calls
for help were sent to Imperial and
FL Centre, both towns responding.

spare machines are possessed by the
signal corps.
The single squadron now at Fort
Sill, Okla, is provided with eight Cur
tiss scout biplanes carrying two men
each. They can make 80 miles an
hour in a pinch, but carrying no gun.
In aerial, as in other defense, the
army is looking to the National Guard
for aid in emergency. Members of
the Aero Club of America, interested
in the movement, have begun raising
n 100000 fund to teach flying to the
militia and to encourage action by the
legislatures of the states.
Emerson McMillin of New York
City has offered $4,000 toward this
fund. Volunteer avators obtained by
the Aero Club took part in the sum
mer maneuvers of the guardsmen in
several states and in the training camp
of the business men of wealth from
large eastern cities at their camp near
Plattsburg, N. Y.
The new national advisory commit
tee for aeronautics, the technical ad-
visory boards of the army and nav
and the new navy committee on inven-
tons, headed by Thomas A. Edison,
are graphing with the problems Of
adequate aerial defense.
+ Experts have estimated that proper
aerial defense can be provided at
cost Of about $17,000000, or less than
the cost of two of the modern dread
naughts that have spent most of the
time in port in the present war.

vadors.
This dispatch represents the imme-
diate objective of the Austro- German
campaign to be the seizure Of the en-
tire railroad system from Riga to
Lemberg, thus ensuring control of
lines Of communication for a further
penetration Of White Russia.
On the other fronts events point to
concerted movement by the Allies.
The French commander in chief, Gen
eral Joffre, has returned from a visit
to his Italian colleague, General Ca
dorna.
British warships and the guns
along the Belgian coast have joined
the chorus of artillery fire along the
western front.
All this gives support to the grow
ing belief in London that an offensive
movement of some nature soon will
mark operations of the Allies in the
West.
The eastern counties of England
were again visited by raiding Zeppe-
Inns last night. The dirigibles caused
some fires and number of casual
ties, concerning the extent of which
there has as yet been no official an

Washington, Sept. 8.-George Dew
ey and few other fighting men have
long been asking Uncle Sam for a
big aeroplane fleet.
They say our army and navy needs
it to see the enemy first, then to
strike him from aioft. He put them
aside last year, and now he is begin
ming to regret it.
The doings in the air on the fight
ing lines of Europe have made him
very uneasy. lie is having bad
dreams of encounters with foes bet
ter armed and prepared for war than
himself.
When an enemy approaches there
is big advantage in discovering his
movements while he is still 80 or LOG
miles away-only an hours flight for
an aeroplane scout. Particularly is
this true if The foe possesses airmen
himself, who are spying out the weak

The British commander, Sir John
French, says his little army was
saved in this way from destruction
by an overwhelming force in the first
big German drive on Paris.
Now Secretary Daniels, who last
winter turned down Admiral Dewey
Plea for $5,000,000 appropriation for
aircraft as a starter, says he will give
the recommendations of the general
board further consideration.
Meanwhile he is willing to spend as
much of the small appropriation as
possible for 20 aeroplanes and a lit
tie dirigible on which to train flying
men.
Five of these new training ma
chimes and the dirigible are being
built. Captain Thomas S. Baldwin
the veteran aeronaut, designed the
dirigible, which is about 175 feet long
about so per cent bigger than the
British navy's "baby' class. There

SEES NATIONAL MENACE
IN DEGEN ERATlVE DISEASES

Rochester, N. Y, Sept. 9.-Various
alarms We're sounded today by speak
ers before the annual session of the
American Public Health Association.
attended by public health officers and
medical men from all parts of the
United States. Probably the most
tartling statistics presented were
those offered by E. f. Rittenhouse
of New York on "lncreasing Organic
Disease which he declared is the
new public health problem.
"The increasing waste of American
vitality and life from the degenera-
tive diseases among wage earners and
other classes is rapidly reaching the
magnitude of a national menace" said
DR.. Rittenhouse. Surely the doubling
Of the mortality rate from this cause
should be a matter of serious public
concern.
"in three decades the death rate
from the breaking down or wearing
out OF the heart, arteries and kidneys
has increased 100 per cent In the
period from 1909 to 1910 the increase
has been as high as 80 per cent in
some states and no less than II per
cent in every state. In the preced-
ing ten years the Increase was 81 per
cent among the more than 100000
men in mechanical industries and in the
labo1ing, servant and agricultural
classes combined
"There are constantly approximate
ly 100000 Americans in the 'deve-
opment PERIOD said the speaker.
This period ranges from few weeks
to several years, in which the disease
may be checked or cured. Most Of
these people are drifting into disease
unknowingly, They are uniformed,
unwarned. If the state can afford
to fight germ diseases, why not de
generative disease? If it can teach
community hygiene to check one, why
not individual hygiene to check the
other. Action is needed
DR.. Eugene Lyman Fisk of New
York said that in 1913 100000 persons
died of chronic disease of the vital
machinery-all preventable or post
ronable. The figures reflect wide
spread degeneration, impairment and
,,rap,atura dacaV he said He recon-
mended:
l. Avoidance of physical or mental
overstrain.
2. Moderation in eating, especially
of meat.
3. Avoidance of stimulating, highly
seasoned food.
4. Abstinence from alcohol or to-
tacco.
5. Regular exercises within the in
dividuars limits.
