With the French army, April 49,.
(By mail to New York, April 3O.)-
The French flying corps is more than
anything else the "eyes of the army"
With the enormous front which the
French have taken unto themselves to
guard, their task would be almost i'm
possible were it not for the aeroplane
and aviators. Just as in everything
else in this war, the aeroplane has
been something of a SURPRISE When
war was declared you doubtless pic
tured in your mind, fleet of thou
sand aeroplanes charging down air
lanes against thousands of hostile
machinery. You probably pictured
titanic battles in the air, between
Zeppelins and Clement Bayards, be-
tween Parsevals and Bleirots.
Has Many Duties.
You expected to be thrilled prob
ably by hair-raising stories of the
exploits Of the aviators. The trouble
with all that is that the aviators are
working away in the air just like you
work in the Office, the store or. on
the farm. The aviator has many du-
ties to perform, but the least import
ant of them is to attack the enemy
Map-making is perhaps his most i'm
portant function. Just step inside
the generals office-this war, you
know, is being run from offices just
as factory is-and you will see III
a minute how it is all DONE On the
generals desk, regular desk, like a
broker uses, you see pile Of photo
graphs. These were made by avia-
tors using special cameras and were
enlarged. You see why lines run
ming hither and across the pictures.
Other lines are zig-zaggy. Some
start nowhere, while some go squirm-
ing completely across the paper. Now
look on the wall. There you see the
same map on a large scale. Every
tree, river, highway, brook, hill,
bridge is. clearly shown there. But
the zig-zaggy lines are not.
Aviators Are Checked.
They have been made since the big
map was prepared a year ago. They
are the hostile forces or German
works of some sort. If the exact ma
ture of the works cannot be made out,

TYPICAL CAMP AT SPUR %
Establishment of Crookston Lumber
Company True Example Of Manner
in Which Trees Are Felled.

Few realize the extent of changes
which have been made in the logging
camps of Northern Minnesota during
the past few years, in fact during the
two years, but visit to the estab-~
lishment of the Crookston Lumber
company at Spur % will demonstrate
the manner in which the use of mod
ern appliances have altered opera
tions of the industry.
The peculiar thing about the big
camp is the absence of horses. Not
single horse was seen in the whole
camp, all the operating being done
by machinery of modern type.
Is Active Place.
Branching off the "Red Lake. rail
road just at the edge of the big Red
Lake reservation, is Spur 20, a scene
of greater activity than in most
towns of several hundred popula-
ton. The camp is composed of two
hall, kitchen, clerks Office, storage
house. meat house, pump house and
other buildings. Fresh spring water
is pumped into the eating house for
drinking and cooking purposes. The
bunk houses are equipped with mod
ern cots, springs of the best, and so
constructed as to permit thorough
ventilation.
Proper sanitation is uppermost in
the minds of the company, even pre-
caution with regard to sewerage dis
posal, drinking water, airy sleeping
quarters, etc., being taken.
Excellent Meals Served.
Excellent meals are served at the
dining hall three times daily. The,
dinner served just as represents

for a king, eh," say nothing about
hungry newspaper reporter, and the
way he went to it would put an Or
binary lumberjack in the bunk house
for a month.
It's Work Amazing.
When one inspects the operation OF
the big powerful steam skidders for
the first time he looks On
in amazement There's a cable
nearly 1900 feet long fast
ened to big tall pine on which
runs a carriage weighing 100
pounds from which bangles chains,
cables and hooks. These are let out
to where the big timber have fallen,
fastened around them and the skid
der pulls them at rapid clip to the
side of the waiting cars where they
are hoisted and loaded by another
engine which operates derrick. The
big massive timbers come bounding
through the woods faster than you
can run and has the old horse method
! cheated in every way for speed and
labor.
The skidders also operate the cars
until they are loaded when lop-sided
looking engine, with drive wheels
on one side and gears on the other,
comes along and hauls them to the
main line of the Red Lake road from
where they are brought to the mills

Hundreds Caught by Early Nimrods

Fish Removed by State Law.
TROUT PLENTIFUL AT KELLIHER
Bass Are Still Protected Fishermen
Should Note Carefully the Measure
ments of Their Catches.

Lake Bemidji, the Mississippi
river and other favored fishing places
were popular places this morning
and many anxious anglers took ad-
vantage of the openingsof the season
for the catching of wall-eyed pike,
pickerel, muscallonge, crappie, sun
fish, perch, sturgeon and catfish, it
now being unlawful to take
fifteen wall-eyed pike, and not to OK
coed twenty-five other fish, except
sunfish, pickerel and bullheads, on
which there is no limit.
Many large catches were secured
this morning and several claim the
distinction of having caught the first
fish of the season.
Note Size of Fish.
Fishermen will do well to note
carefully the size of their fish as it
is unlawful to have in possession sun
fish, bullheads or rock bass under six
inches in length, wall-eyed pike un-
der fourteen inches in length, mus
callonge under thirty inches In
length. After the bass season opens
the minimum size on bass is nine in
ches.
Game fish may be taken only with
one line and one bait. This is not to
be construed, however, as prohibit
ing the usesof such lures as the wood
en- minnows.
In Wisconsin the general fishing
season does not open until May 80.
Favor Live Minnows.
Local anglers usually favor live
minnows for wall-eyed pike bait, al
though quite few find the small ar
tificial Scotch minnow effective and
sometimes the medium and smaller
sized casting spoons are used. The
two best bats for muscallonge are
large sized spoons and big frogs.
Trout Plentiful at Kelliher. 60 : ::
Andrew johnson, sheriff Of Bel
ftrami county, returned to Bemidji
this morning from Kelliher where he
spent a short time trout fishing. He
brought a catch of speckled trout
caught in Battle river at the bridge,
one mile south of Kelliher. One man
secured seventeen speckled beauties
at the spot last Thursday and nine
teen the day before. The sheriff
says that trout are also plentiful at
Trout Brook, three miles north OF
Kelliher. These places were stocked
about five years ago.

TEMPERANCE PLAN
OF ENGLAND TO !
END In FAILURE
House of Commons Refuses to Give
Government Unanimous Support in
Plan to Raise Prices on Liquors.
AT FIRST FEARED REVENUE LOSS
Advantage of sobriety Realized and
Officials Now Hope to Enforce a
Rapid Change in Drinking Glass.
By J. w. T. MASON.

New York, May l. The effort OF
the British government to increase
the efficiency of British labor by
raising the prices of heavy liquors
and tempting the workingman to
change to light beers, probably will
end in failure. For the first time
since The war began, the House Of
Commons has refused to give the
government unanimous support and
before parliament finally sanctions
the governments administration
bill, there is certain to be further cri-
|ticism of the high cost of getting
drunk
At Expense of Life.
Light beers are seldom drunk by
Englishmen, and for them to replace
the heavy beverages with de-alco-
holized brews would require almost
as much strength Of will as to sign
the pledge outright. The immediate
probability therefore,, is that work
ingmen will pay the greater cost Of
the heavy beer, ales and porters and
will economic in other ways, posi-
bly, at the expense of home life.
Repeated efforts have been made by
brewers to get the governments con-
sent to de-alcoholize beer, but with
out success.
Feared Revenue Loss.
A de-alcoholizing device was pat
ented some time ago in England, but
when the brewers began using it,
the excise department stepped in and
forbad the manufacture of the de-
alcoholized product. The reason for
this action was fear of loss of reve-
nue., since the largest contributors
to the British exchequer are the
brewers.
On the outbreak of the war sever
al brewers again applied to the gov
eminent for permission to de-alcohol-
ize beer, but consent was refused.
A Change Needed.
Every Encouragement, therefore,
has been imposed in the past against
the gradual development among the
British workers of a taste for less
Intoxicating beers. Now the govern
ment suddenly realizes the advantage
of sobriety and hopes to enforce a
rapid change in the kind of beer that
satisfies the workingmen: Apart
from the difficulty of quick CONVEX
sion of this kind, the suggestion of
compulsion is repugnant to the Brit
ish character.
1t is probable that the war will be
over before Mr.. LlOyd-George can
announce the success of his high
license experiment.
