type: Wing Commander l. W. Seddon,
British commission in this country and
who is demonstrating some of the
British types of war atrplanes here,

Owen Thomas, consulting engineer of

Mr.. Thomas was on the French and

tical paper on farm tractors. Last
year $4,000 tractors were .manufac-

ufacture 10000, but shortage of ma
terial and labor has cut this down. Mr..
the Department of Agriculture dem
onstrating how the tractors in present

Depression Would Be Calamity.

THE worst thing that could happen to
the world right now would be a busi-
ness depression in the United States"
was the way the vice president and
general manager of another large au-
tomobile concern spoke of the present
situation. 'rhe country unprosperous,
with business dull. money tight, either
through fear or false economy, would
be a calamity.
War in itself does not cause business
depression. Billions of dollars have
preparations. This great sum of money
put into immediate circulation in this
country will create new wealth for use
in the world struggle for humanity.
1T would be a tremendous error to
halt business now through an unpa-
triotic feeling of panic and a mistaken
idea of patriotic economy. Patriotic
economy calls upon all to eliminate
waste and extravaganza. 1t demands
that we conserve our food products and
our natural wealth. 1t also demands
that we guard our health, our energies,
our labor-our very lives; that we
should put more efficiency in everything
we do.
'The way to accomplish this is for
the people to buy and use the merchan-
disc produced. Business cannot grow
and remain healthful unless the whole
circulation. America will show the
world that war built on the principles
of righteousness and freedom need not
impoverish the people or stop the
wheels of industry America will prove
that prosperity can go hand in hand
with war when waged with clear-head-
ed intelligence.

GREATEST WEAPON OF GERMANY THREATENED
 ADMITS BERLIN PRESS
Flanders Offensive Is De- scribed as Mightiest Impact Which the World Has Ever Seen in War.
lRx Review Leasea Wire,

BERLIN, Aug. Especial dispatches from the front in the Berlin newspa- pers agree in describing the battle in Flanders as struggle for the sub marine bases in Belgium, as well as in characterizing it as the most stupen- dous combat of the war.
 '"The great, brutal force of the mi. tial blow has been parried,' writes the Tageblatt's correspondent, regarding the Flanders battle. The handspring which impelled the German fighting on was the strong realization that he was then called upon to defend the German U-boat as the mightiest wea- pon of his country and bar the path to it's base with his life. The German troops counter attacked in frightful bayonet and hand-grenade combats. Il was the mightiest counter thrust, fol lowing the mightiest impact, which the world has ever seen.
 "NightfaIl witnessed the happy Ger man achievement The foe had won German trenches, had gained control of Bixschoote and had carried off pris oners, but he lay bleeding at the foot of the wall he desired to scale"

STRIKE SITUATION IN
 GALLUP IS UNCHANGED
Members of Defense Council Uphold Deportation of 34 Men and Insist Majority
 Were Members of 1. w. w.
(By Review Leased wire.)

GALLUP, N. M., Aug. 3.-The strike situation in Gallup, from which town about 30 men were deported Tuesday, continues virtually unchanged tonight. The mines of the Gallup Southwestern Coal company still are closed down, those of the Diamond Coal company are working about one-third of nor nal force, and those of the Gallup American Coal company have had some additions to the working forces, the management says, coal production from this property having increased materially the past week, according to the same source.
 George R. Craig, district attorney, is here Investigating the deportations, but has made no statement.
 Members of the council of defense for this county, by whose authority the deportations were made, declared there was no question as to the afh- liation of a number of the deported men with the Industrial Workers of the World. Some of them, they de clared, had membership cards of the organization, while others had infiam- matory literature in their possession when they departed.
 Petitions in circulation here for the removal of members of the defense council declare the people were ter rorized by armed men and machine gun placed on an automobile truck and driven through the streets. Mem bers of defense council say the crowds about the train when the men were deported were so dense the truck car rying the machine gun had difficulty getting through. The sheriff said the muzzle of the gun was kept elevated while the truck accompanied the de ported men to the railroad station and that it would not have been taken there but for the fact that he had re ceived notice an attempt would be made to take the men from his GUS tody at the train.
