FRENCH TO DEVELOP
 AVIATION SERVICE
Admits Germans Possessed Su. periority at Outset Of War

Correspondence of The Associated Press.)
 ! Paris, Jan. 24.-French aviation au- 'thorities agree that Germany has been able to entirely transform it's aviation service since the war began, making Improvements of most important character, while it possessed certain advantages over the French flying corps at the outset.
 The reasons for the superiority of the Germans in what was considered before the war a French speciality will perhaps become public in the parlia- ment debate that is imminent. One aviator attributes the difference to the fact that while the French followed aviation as a sport, the Germans took it up seriously for practical applica- tion to the requirements of the army. He points out that the Germans were flying at night long before the war began, while the French began their nocturnal trips only after the war was several months old.
 Results Not Negligible.
 The same authority warns against the assumption that the result obtain ed by the French flying corps are neg Hg1ble. Whatever may be the foun- dation for criticism of this branch of the service, he says, the results ob- talned in some ways have been done far more appreciable than what the Fermans have done. He recalls that

during the battle of the Marne, Sep tember 8, 1914, aviators destroyed half of the artillery of the 16th Ger man army corps in the region of Fri aucourt
 This exploit was all the more re- markable since the French had never appeared to arrive at any results in experiments made with the combined manoeuvres of artillery and flying ma chimes before the war. One of the last notable attempts made in 1912 during the manoeuvres resulted in the theoretic capture by the opposing army of an entire flying corps. Dur ing the French manoeuvreS Ot 1915. the flying corps, used under modlhed conditions, acquitted itself more cred itably. but the eNperm ents gave no hint of the utility of the corps Tn actual warfare Consequently, as compared with Germany where it seems the experiments were more slg- nficant, aviation as a service in the army was apparently neglected. The idea of protecting flying corps with steel armor, at one time considered, was abandoned. and was only taken up again after German armored flying machines had been captured.
 Stuck To Monop'anC.
 The French also stuck to the mono plane until they had captured enough of the German biplanes to give them demonstrative proof that they were superior for most different kinds of air work. The French also learned from the Germans that security at great height is fallacious. Fragments of shells reach them even at height of $500 yards, while at 1,S00 yards it is often more difficult for the gum ners to get the range. The fire at that point is generally too high.
 Again, at the beginning the French aviation service used tho same type of machine for all kinds of missions. All st once they discovered that the German machine that made a raid on a. metropolitan center or military point was not the same as the machine that regulated the fire of the artillery. The result of this was the beginning of a classification of aircraft with refer ence to special adaptability

In September, 1914, a German pilot established this precedent by dropping in the French lines a courtous notice to the effect that Lieutenant Fouret had been made the prisoner at the camp of Chalons. Later on a Ger man aviator dropped behind the French lines a letter from the pilot Senoque, who had been captured by the Germans. Tn May of this year when Thauron and Blancpain were brought down by the German artillery, a German aviator flew over the lines

KNIGHTS LECTURER
David Goldstein of X. of c. to Give
Public Address Feb. 9Th.

The Supreme Council, Knights OF
Columbus, are sending two public
lecturers throughout the country this
year Peter w. Collins of Chelsea
and David Goldsten of RoXbury, both
members of the order and polished
platform speakers are to tour the
country speaking on the subject
Peace and War" having in mind The
questions which are confronting the
church in connection with the great
conflict raging in Europe and the sub
ject of Preparedness being raised in
America.
The itinery of David Goldstien in
cludes Bennington and the local so.
ciety has been informed that he will
speak here On Wednesday evening,
February 9th.
This work was inaugurated by the
supreme council two years ago large
ly as an experiment. The supreme
council has arranged that in every
town where the lectures are deliver
ed the event viii be held under the
local council OF the Knights of Colum.
bus and will be open to the public oil
all religious beliefs and no admission
charged
Peace and War will be the topic
on which Mr.. Golsten will speak
this year and he will deal with the
subject under three headings, giving
the causes OF war and the way TO es-
tablish peace in our domestic, indus
trial and governmental relations. Mr.
Goldsten viii set forth the Christian
attitude on these three phases OF his
subject while he exposes the false
teachings of the radicals.
What causes family disruption?
What solution do Catholics offer for
divorce and kindred modern evils?
What causes the industrial conflicts
of our time? How would Catholics
establish industrial peace? What is
the cause or war? Does the Euro
pean war prove Christianity to be a
failure? What is needed to establish
and maintain an enduring peace for
nations? What has the church done
to international peace? What can
she do today? Does obedience to the
pope in matters of faith and morals
conflict with the patriotic duty OF
Catholics 10 their country? Is there
a higher form of patriotism than that
taught by the Catholic church? These
are some OF the questions which Mr..
Goldstein will answer in his dis
courses.
Both speakers scored such success.
es that again last year they were
sent out on the same mission and the
series OF lectures from year to year
is likely to prove permanent feature
in the publicity work OF the organiza-
Ion. David Goldstien has lectured ex
tensively on Socialism and is consid-
cred a brilliant speaker on the sub.
ject from the Catholic standpoint.
He was the man who offered Eugene
V. Debs $500 If Mr.. Debs would meet
him in a public debate on Socialism
as Mr. Debs sees it. Mr.. Debs declin-
ed the offer.

Since then nothing has been heard
of this naval expedition The Mon

evidently waited in vain. Nothing
but the forcing Of the heavily mined
waters of the "bocche di Cattaro'-a

LovcEN LONG OFFENDED
Its Capture a Blow 20 Italian Pres
tige in the Adriatic.


The capture of Mount Lovcen is
not only severe blow to Montene-
gro, but to Italian prestige in the Ad-
ratio Sea. The whole idea is sum
med up in the fact that Mount Lovcen
dominates the Austrian naval port of
Cattaro, and Cattaro controls the Da-
limation Coast. To reduce Cattaro
and its guardian forts at Vermatz,
and to force the Austrian feet hiding
in the "bocche di Cattaro" out into
the open sea has been a prime objec-
tive of the Allies since the war be-
gan. For from behind the mountain
islands, which obstruct the Gulf of
Cattaro, has issued the Holland and
Lake submarines, which successfully
sank the French battleship Leon
Gambetta and the Italian armored
cruisers, Amalfi and Giuseppe Carl
baldi
Before Italy entered the war the
French and British fleets guarded the
Adriatic. The English kept watch at
1Old anu lulut, anu inc rIeuCH at
the "bocche di Cattaro," mouths OF
Cattaro. In October, 1914, the French
sailors hauled four 4.5-inch naval
guns to the summit of Lovcen and
forced the Austrian ships out of the
Bay of Tevdo, and demolished some
of the Austrian forts at Vermatz.
Their guns would not reach to the
"bocche di Cattaro," but emplace-
ments had already been built on
Ioveen for the reception of heavy
guns, when on May %, 1915, Italy de-
clared war and took over from Eng
land and France the guardianship of
the Adriatic.
Montenegrin infantry then occupied
Lovcen and patiently waited for the
Italians to do something. There
were the emplacements for 6-inch
guns left by the French from which
we'll directed fire could have reduced
Vermantz and cleared the approaches
to Cattaro in few hours.

nounced that the Italians had started

Plan Spring Crops.

Now is the time when the fore
handed farmer is planning his spring
work. He needs to decide now
where he will have one or two
patches of rape for the pigs; where
he will SOW clover; where he can add
another acre or more to his perma-
nent pasture, Bermuda, orchard
grass, bluegrass, or lespedeza; where
he will have corn and what spots
need manure and what low places
need ditcbing. If his own farm is
not large enough, now is the time
TO rent a small field somewhere for
springs oats or millet or Sudan
grass for hay. Now is the time for
getting up wood for the summer,
getting it all nicely split for the
good wife and now is the time to
plan for the finest garden he ever
\ had. 1t is better to have a fine
garden for the women and girls to
handle than to have them i'll the

for their fertilziug value, Make
sure of enough seed for all the plant
ings.

HOW MERCHANTS ARE INCON-
 SISTENT

The News is impressed to say that if those ardent advocates of home patronage would discard their supply of government envelopes and Sears & Roebuck stationery they would set an example in keeping with their pro- fession. How may we expect to make progress along these lines until we first get right? When a business man in this manner discards local institu tions he cannot hope to be instrument al in encouraging the home patronage need. This is the burning truth and applies to some people hereabouts.- Nixon News.
 Straight gospel brother. Unfor- tunately every community has few of these men within it's bounds. We have always been strict advocate of the trade at home policy, but oftimes become very discouraged when the merchant, that we are trying to bene- fit, sends to foreign houses for his stationery supply. But we are going to keep the good work going never theless.--Mathis News.
