TURKEYS NINE LIVES.

BY some process, due very largely,
it is said. TO the aid of Germany. the
Turkish nation has again expert
enced a revival Of life and energy
and we are now informed that 90
battalions of troops have been rush
ed to the aid Of the forces which
have been so sadly harassed by the
Russians in Armenia But alth ough
the troops have been furnished the
means for feeding them have not.
The Turks have made repeated
efforts to ship supplies to the city
OF Trebizond via the Black sea, but
the vigilance Of Russian submarines
and torpedo boat destroyer5 has
presented these supplies from reach
ing their destination. More than 100
vessels laden with food and supplies
for the Turks in Armenia have been
sunk and destroyed by the Russians
in the past few months. The lack
of railway facilities in Armenia has
been another source Of annoyance
TO the Turkish army. However. the
fact that they have been able TO
raise more troops and equip them
even with German aid is an aston
ishing thing because Of the fact that
Constantinople is in a state OF al
most open revolt against the var

GASOLINE AGAIN.
peoria Journal.)


When we were first told that the
war had batted up the price Of gaso-
line, we accepted the sad tidings
meekly, because the war had boost
ed the price of everything else
why not gasoline?
But after the price Of gasoline had
advanced so per cent, the big oil
corporations had TO find some other
excuse. so they told the consumers
that the supply Of crude oil was
diminishing.
This claim that there is an oil
famine is absolutely false. It has
been exposed in the reports OF the
geologic survey, in the reports Of
the federal trade commission, and
by Sec'y Lane, who said in his re-
port to The United States senate

STATESMEN GREAT AND

WASHINGTON. April 25.-If the
truth were known, Oscar Under

comfortable and i'll at ease over in
the United States senate, which is a
much less human body than the
house.
I'm the house." lamented Under

tiresome, futile senate session, 1--WE

not vote on IL until the Ice goes out
the following spring, when every
thing said in the debate has been
thoroughly forgot"
Here. by the way. may be the ex-
PLANTATION for the fact that Sen. I'm
derwood is our most calm and most
self-contained statesman, never once
bate. or exhibiting the slightest in
dication Of temper:
He has a pulse beat OF only So.
If anything occurs to make him
mad and quicken his pulse, he has
that margin of four beats below nor
nal before the blood begins to rush
TO his brain.
You remember when you were a
yoUngster and played school, and
how everybody wanted his or her
turn at being the teacher? And how
vexed you became if one boy sat
up in front with a ruler in his hand
and kept on playing the teacher af-
ter somebody else was entitled TO
his turn?
That is precisely the way lot of
republican members Of congress are
getting to feel toward Mr. Jim
Mann. the minority leader. They are
certain that when he was a boy and
played school he wanted 10 be the
teacher all the time.
Mann takes personal charge Of
practically every bill that comes up.
en- the democratic side each bill is
ordinarily in charge Of the chairman
of the committee that prepared il.
Republican committee chairmen
stand around glazing at Mann. as
much as 10 say:
When are you going to let us
play"
But Mann tells them substantially
10 go soak their heads.
And so there is a growing sense
of peevishness among Mann's fol-
lowers.

NEW CURTISS PLANE :.
MAKES. SPEEDY RISE
Zeppelin Destroyer Ascends 10000
Feet in Ten Minutes.

1 A Zeppelin destroyer was tested on 90

Ing in the air for more than ap hour
and landing with ease.
The aeroplane is a tractor trlplane and
was developed In answer to the demand
for an aeroplane which could leave the
ground. overtake and destroy raiding
Zeppelin. The new machine made max
imum speed Of 100 miles an hour and
throttled down until II made forty-five
miles an hour. This In probably the
greatest difference between the high and
low speeds of any machine now In use.
Both the British Sopwith and the
French Nleupart pursuit machines make
about the same high speed, but cannot
be throttled down to much less than
slxty-five to seventy miles an hour thus
making It difficult to land without
break6ge.
The chief feature OF the new triplane
model Is Its ability to climb. On Sunday
II assembled 10000 feet in ten minutes, or
at the rate Of 1000 feet a minute. II left
the ground after a very short run and
climbed at an agile nearer the vertical
than any of the other fast machines yet
developed.
