Wilson Referred To as aBig'
White Chief and Mrs. Gait
as Little Indian Maid"

NEW YORK. Nov. 27.-Fcrestalling
a possible attempt to make capital out
OF his approaching marriage, PRESS
dent Wilson has caused to be sent to
Michael j. P. Fitzpatrick, Of 302 Green
avenue, Brooklyn, through his secre-
tary, an earnest request that song
which Mr.. Fitzpatrick has written
about the presidential courtship be not
published. Although no direct refer
ence to either President Wilson or
Mrs. Gait is made in the song, their
personalities are only thinly veiiis
Mrs. Gait is represented as a pretty
little Indian maid" while the president
is hidden in the identity of "the big
white chief"
The song follows:
a paleface chief Of a mighty tribe,
On the trail Of an Indian squaw,
In his light canoe that was built for
two
Came drifting to the shore.
A lovers dart hit the white mans
heart,
From the girl of copper shade;
For he was chief Of the paleface tribe
Ahu ohC wac GIL Ahulan Iuhlus
Chorus
You are red and am white,
That makes our love true blue;
For j know that you love me
And you know ! love you.
Let us stroll together meath the sill
very moon,
When the twilight shadows fade.
And I'll crown Won the lady 0f, the mile
face tribe,
My pretty little Indian maid.
In great big mansion, her white
chiefs home,
Far away from the prairie plain.
And light canoe and wigwam too.
They sigh for them in vain.
At the setting sun, when their work
is done,
They dream Of the forest glade,
Where she met the chief Of the pale
face tribe

Cider
In Great Quantity Made byIn-
diana Man and He Has
Cistern Filled.

PRINCETON, Ind, Nov. 27.-Albert
F. Dougan has 1856 barrel cistern
brimming full Of good apple cider on
his farm four miles southwest OF
Princeton.
Handicapped by the lack Of bar
rels and the immensely Of his apple
crop. Mr.. Dougan had huge cistern
constructed. 1t was well lined with
concrete, and a heavy coating of par
affin was placed over the concrete,
while regular cistern pump. new
and clean, fitted closely over the top.
Then he started making cider with
his big mill, pipe carrying the cider
from the press directly into the els
tern, wheer the paraftin coating keeps
the apple Juice fresh and sweet and
prevents fermentation.
The cistern, with its 1856 barrel ca
pacity. would not hold all the cider,
and Mr.. Dougan had to barrel con-
siderable. He pumps the cider from
the cistern the same as water.

One Out Of Every Nine Such
Churches Are abandoned,
;R the Figures Show.

COLUMBUS, o., Nov. 27.-one out
of every nine country churches have
been abandoned In recent years. Only
one-third are increasing in member
ship and two-thirds have either ceased
growing or are dying. Eighty-tiree
per cent have less than 100 members /;
twentyrone per cent have less than
twenty-five; twenty-seven per cant
have between twenty-five and Atty;
and thirty-four per cent have betwcc.,
fifty and 100. Only six per cent have
individual preachers, while twenty-sis
per cent share ministers with an.
other church; twenty-three per cent
have one-third Of the time Of min
fster; twenty-seven per cent have one
fourth time; fourteen per cent have
one-ffth time; five per cent have
one-sixth time. A large proportion
OF preachers receive about the same
pay as a day laborer. Less than forty

PEKING, Nov. 27.-The Russian
minister to China, Mr.. Kroupensky.
has laid before the Chinese foreign
ONCE all the facts possessed by the
Russian government concerning the
attack Chinese bandits made upon
the Russian steamer Deputy ON Oc-
tober 10. Chinese officials have in
stituted an investigation and hope to
capture the outlaws, whose act of
piracy is the boldest that has oc-
Cured in Chinese territory since the
destruction Of British steamer ON
the West river near Canton last year.
When the steamer Deputy left
Hardin on the Sungari river bound
for Fugdin, twelve bandits disguised
as workmen took passage. The
steamer carried one hundred and
eighty Chinese passengers and much
valuable cargo. At q given signal
the outlaws seized the engine room.
and began to hold up the passengers
on the upper deck. Many shots were
exchanged, and the steersman was
wounded before he gave up his
wheel to the outlaws. The chief en-
gineer was also wounded. The ban
dts broke into the captains cabin
and shot his wife. For three hours
tho steamer was under the command
OF the river pirates, who took sew
eral thousand rubles from the pas-
sengers. When they had Completed
their search the robbers steered the
steamer into the bank about thirty
miles from Harbin. Retrieved tSe

is expected eventually to dim denom-
national lines.
Concrete means of promoting tho

who will make an address at the con-

They are summarized thus: First,
rural ministers and church leaders
during the next year will receive pub
locations issued by the commission on
church and country life devoted to the
problems Of rural church declarations
and combinations. This will prepare
the way for discussion Of church CO.

urged to form a federation. with del

EFFECT or WIND ON a
WINGS or AER Cpl AM,
CAN BE DETER. MINED
lIn The Plant for Aeroilautical
Experiments in the City
of Washington.
tnYAssoe ! ,.s,., )

WASHINGTON, D.. G., Nov. 27.-The
largest plant In the world for aero
nautical experiments is at the Wash
ington navy yard here and is known
as the wind tunnel. The scheme was
worked out by navy designers and O
huge weight carrying biplane soon "a
be constructed at the yard will be
built on data gathered from the tests
made in the big wooden box where
an eighty mile gale can be created
and its effect upon the planes of q
proposed aircraft can be weighed to
within $4,000 Of pound.
The present tunnel is a temporary
one and navy officers hope that Con-
gress will authorize the construction
OF permanent aeroplane expert
ment plant when the value Of the
scheme is fully realized. The tun-
mel is eight feet square inside and al
one end is an electric fan driven by
a 500 horsepower motor. At the OPP
posite end are battles, or carefully
built apertures to allow the blasts
created by the fan TO escape without
generating any back pressure to de-
stroy the value Of the experiment.
Coming down. through the roof OF
the tunnel is metal lever to which
are attached the model planes to be
tested. These are about foot long,
representing the full sweep of a sixty
foot lifting surface. They are model
ed in exact reproduction Of the real
planes and can be set at any angle.
Above the tunnel is the weighing ma
chine. and intricate system OF levers
and fulcrums leading finally to the
indicator needle, swaying along a
graduated quadrant where the divis-
ions are so minute that they must be
read with a magnifying glass. The
mechanism is so delicately adjusted
that pressure of $4,000 part of a
pound will be noted by the vibration
of the needle.
When the plane model to be tested
has been set, the big fan is started
and a wind force is developed in the
tunnel that can be increased or de-
creased at will. Step by step the
operator notes the weights set at va
rious angles. From his date he then
plots the curve Of the lifting power
of>the plane and the power necessary
to drive an aircraft equipped with
planes Of that type at any desired
speed. The results also will show the
surface friction OF the air against va
rious kinds of material used in plane
construction.
BY means Of the tunnel an aero
plane speedometer is being worked
out which will show aviators the
exact speed at which they are tray-
cling, indicated on dial as with an
automobile instrument. This is of
great Importance to air men as the
stability Of their craft depends largely
upon speed and any decrease in speed
as shown by the indicator would give
warning of engine trouble before the
motor actually went dead.
Much experimental work for private
builders is being done at the govern
ment wind tunnel and systematic
series Of experiments has been plan
ned to contribute data Of inestimable
value to aeroplane constructors gen
orally when compiled in tables.

LONDON, Nov. 27.-The bitter
cry against the censorship heard
from the front is that neither regi-
ments nor individuals are. allowed to
gain any recognition or publicity for
unusual exploits. This Is one OF the
handtcaps a democracy meets in try
Ing to conduct war on the most mod
ern lines Of secrecy. The Japanese
army in the war against Russia was
the pioneer in this policy. The jap
anese carried their attempts to keep
the enemy in the dark SO far that
none Of the soldiers wore any regi-
mental marks on stheir uniforms.
Very few officers or enlisted men

their members have figured In the
