Aerial Scouts.

During the present war, the aero.
plane has proved very useful in scout
ing; indeed, the heavier-than-air ma
chine is generally admitted to be SUI
perjor to the airship for spying out
the position of the enemy. The aero
pl;-le Il less conspicuous; II IS faster;
it makes a smaller target; 1t costs al
most nothing to make in comparison
with a dirigible balloon, and 1t can
fly at a higher altitude. Sir John
French pays a nigh tribute to the aero
plane scouts in one Of his interesting
reports on the campaign in France.
"One of the features of the campaign
on our side has been the success Of
the Royal Flying corps. In regard to
the collection of information, it is i'm
possible to award too much praise to
our aviators for the way they have
carried out their duties, or to over
estimate the value of the intelligence
collected, more especially during the
recent advances" For the 20 days
that ended on September 10, the Eng
glish aviators averaged nine recon
noissances a day of over hundred
miles each.-Youth's Companion.

SAVED BY AN INSPIRATION
Presence Of Mind Of French Soldier
Saved His Life When Situation
Seemed Hopeless.

In Napoleon's campaign in Russia
one of his generals, Philippe de Segur,
had peculiar adventure with band
of Kalmucks The Kalmucks are wan
dering tribes of southeastern Russia.
They are fierce warriors, and their
light cavalry forms an important part
of Russian armies De Segur's pres
ence of mind saved him from being
killed by them when the most desper-
ate fighting could not have done so.
The French had attacked-a body Of
Russians and put them to flight, when
Segur suddenly discovered that he and
a few French dragons had become
separated from the French army and
were being carried away with the re-
treating party.
He and his men were surrounded by
a band of Kalmucks. The situation
seemed so hopeless that the men gave
themselves up and, disregarding his
orders. passively allowed Themselves
to be struck down. De Segur deter
mined to sell his life dearly and con-
tiued to fight. A Kalmuck lance struck
him from his horse He jumped to
his feet and, getting behind his horse,
continued the struggle. 1t was hope
less contest, however, and in few
moments he would have been killed
had not a happy thought occurred to
him.
The Kalmuck leader, fine-looking
Cossack, remained calm while his men
were carried away with the fury of
battle. The expression on his naughty
countenance indicated that he scorned
10 murder vanquished foe, and from
time to time he called, "Nikale!
Nikale!"
De Segur guessed that this was an
order to cease fighting He shouted i'm
periously to the Kalmucks that sur
rounded him, "Nikale!"
Immediately the fury died out of
their faces and they paused, motion
less with establishment. Their fury
once checked, Segur's life was saved
by their chief
He learned afterward that the word
meant do not strike and that while
the impetuous Kalmucks had not
needed the command of their chief,
they were puzzled and disturbed at
hearing this word from one whom they
supposed to be an enemy.
De Segur was kept prisoner until
a peace between France and Russia
was arranged some months later.

Senator Root has great power Of
concentration. He would have made
a great war correspondent. No mat
ter how much shot and shell might
be flying about him, he could sit and
jot down what Is in his mind without
paying any attention to anything else.
One day he was going through some
papers that contained information he
was sitting out. The matter was one
that called for much quiet thought
and reflection.

A clerk went in to the Senator and

DEFENDS CHURCH
FROM WAR BLAME
DR.. Manning Says Religion Is
Not on Trial-Dr. Holmes
in Peace Plea.

Fear that the gospel of Christ might
be Judged and found wanting was ridi-
culed Yesterday by the Rev. William
r. Manning, rector of Trinity, in ms
sermon on "The Work of the Church" "
"Some people seem to suppose" he
said. that the Lord Jesus Christ and
His church are now in some sense on
trial before the American public and
the modern world. The Church is not
on trial. We are on trial. We are
Judged by our ability 10 see and recog-
nize the truth that is in Him and by
our Willingness to kneel before Him.
ut is the duty Of the Church to
make for better government, better ilv-
ing conditions, prevention OF tuDercu-
losis. TO end war, to provide more play
grounds for the children and TO do
everything that Will help mankind"
The Rev. John Haynes Holmes began
Yesterday. in the Church Of the
Messiah, a series of sermons on Force
Versus Non-Resistance." He declared
his belief that the former had been
tried with dubious results and It was
now time TO give ear TO the case OF
non-resistance. c.
ol;ke - he said, "looks 10 a future in
which human brotherhood shall be re-
allied. and. as ] consider this great
hone that is in all our hearts, find
myself wondering how resort to force
for any reason can do anything but
DELAY the coming of that happy future,
and resort 20 non-resistance do any
thing but speed the coming Oh the
day.
ITO the question Of peace, for ex-
ample, force declares either that peace
is an undesirable ideal, or else that IL
can never be permanently established
and resort must be had at intervals,
therefore, to the arbitrament OF arms.
Non-resistance, on the other hand, de-
clares that peace is the ideal condition
of every human good, and can be
permanently and universally estao-
lished by frank and full reliance upon
the spirit of good will.
"To the problem of individual and
national security force asserts that
there is no ultimate security, save In
strength Of arms, 10 which non-re-
sistance retorts that resort TO arms
can only lead 10 destruction, as wit
ness the present war, and that security
can only be found in the abandonment
OF weapons altogether.
