"ouR AIRMEN WERE ACTIVE"

When the history Of this war Ia
written. the most interesting and
thrilling chapters will be those de-
voted to aviation.
Under such brief dispatches as
Our aircraft was very active" there
is concealed a daily story Of adven-
ture that would Guido any fiction in
its power to thrill.
Mrs. Maurice Hewlett has publish
ed a brochure on "our Flying Men"
which contains a few Of these ad-
ventures. One of them. which Is a
fair sample, tells Of the manner In
which "a king among French avia-
tors tried out new machine. He
was testing 1t and went up without
any weapons Of any kind. Mrs. Hew-
lett writes:
"Then he began to enjoy him
self and from what the onlookers
saw, the bus was much to his
liking. Suddenly he made a dart
towards q distant spot which
glasses proved TO be q Fokker.
He climbed as he went and dived
straight at It. The Folxker had to
dive TO avoid a collision. He did

but he did his best to escape and

where he was expected to be.

been guilty of fragrant manipulation
of markets.
Now they are facing possible heavy
losses, with larger stocks than usual,
put in at high prices, and with the
demand shrinking. OF course the
demand is shrinking, because fewer
and fewer housewives can afford to
buy eggs. There wouldn't be any
worry about the demand IL ten or
fifteen cents were Topped off the
price.
The spectators offer the eggs to
the government at cost price plus 10
per cent. Here is an opportunity
for the government to put into effect
the rule II laid down for the steel
manufacturers. Let It say to the
spectators: Wen take your eggs
but the public must have them at the
same price we pay.

/ Germany and Austria are becoming q
great powder factory. Hunger. priva-
ton and discomfort are growing.
Just such a spark as the naval up
rising may touch off the explosion.
Nobody foresaw the Russian revolu-
ton and Germany and Austria seem
ripe for a similar uprising. The naval
operations in the Baltic may be q
direct result Of this spirit in the
navy. German war leaders have q
very nice sense Of the value of
psychology. Riga was saved until it's
capture was needed to cheer the peo-
pie at home. The operations against
the islands in the gulf could have
been undertaken weeks or months
ago as we'll as now. 1t would not be
surprising If they were chiefly for
home consumption.
The moving of the capital OF Rus
STA to Moscow may be q blessing in
disguise. Moscow holds a peculiar
position in Russian regard. IT has
political and religious associations
that make it the very heart Of Rus
STA, and its restoration as the capital
may strengthen the hands Of the gov
eminent. If Petrograd is captured
this year. it must be by a naval at
tack, and the Russian fleet is yet
to be vanquished.
Emperor to Balkans.
The visit Of Emperor William to
the Balkans is believed to have
special significance at this time. Aus
tria and Bulgaria are becoming very
outspoken in their desire for peace.
General Cadorna is said to have ac-
counted for one-third Of the Austrian
Isonzo army in his recent opera
tons. The food conditions are even
worse than in Germany, and both the
people and the emperor are openly
demanding peace, and broadly hint
ing at break with Germany If 1t is
necessary. Bulgaria and Turkey are
fighting a purposeless war Bulgaria
has won all she sought. and Turkey
is losing some of her richest Asiatic
domain.
With the Belgian situation as ser
ious as it is. Emperor William would
not take the time for a purely formal
call on his allies in the Balkans, un-
less there were good reason for it,
and there is little doubt that this
reason is the. hope that a display of
the power and magnificence of Ger
many will stiffen the courage Of Aus
tria, Bulgaria and Turkey.
Haig Renewing Attack.
The weather conditions have fore
ed inactivity on General Haig's
forces in Belgium, but the artillery
battle has been renewed, with the
return of good weather. and at any
time the news of a new attack may
be expected. The effects Of Haigs
blows are cumulative, and the latest
reports are that they will continue
throughout the winter If necessary.
The fall of Reuters undoubtedly
would bring another German retreat,
probably from Lille to the sea. The
Germans would have to retreat or be
cut off. It is a repetition of the
Somme attack last year, when the
British and French regained 1000
square miles of French territory.
The new retreat would be on a
bigger scale than the one a year ago,
but the retreat itself would be less
important than the pounding to which
the German army has been subject
ed. From a military viewpoint, it is
the story OF the Civil war over again.
Losses by submarines are again
near the low water mark.

The War For the Week

Four developments of outstanding
interest feature the war news for
the week.
The most spectacular and least
important of these-unless 1t has an
unexpected sequsl-was the capture
of the islands at the entrance to the
Gulf of Riga.
The others were the British battle
in Flanders, the mutiny in the Ger
man and Austrian navies, and the
visit Of Emperor William to the
Balkans.
The Importance of the capture OF
Oesel island depends wholly upon
the amount Of booty taken by the
Germans. The Russians had a naval
base on the island. and doubtless kept
large stores Of supplies there. The
! only reference in the dispatches to
, these supplies was q brief statement
that the bulk of them had been de-
stroyed or removed.
The Possible Sequel.
The interesting feature of the at
tack is its possible sequel. The farth-
er the German fleet peretrates into
the Baltic the better is the opportun-
ity for an attack in the rear by the
British feet. The Germans claim to
have part Of the Russian fleet cut off,
but 1t IL protected by mine fields. The
greater part Of the Russian fleet is
between the Germans ana Petrograd,
and reported to be ready and eager
for battle.
The British grand feet is supposed
to be some place in the North Sea.
Already the German fleet is as far
from the mouth Of the Kiel canal as
the British feet is. How long will
the Germans dare remain in the CUFFS
of Riga and Finland looking for the
Russians? London newspapers have
severely criticised the British ad-
mira1ty Sor permitting the islands to
be captured, and have pointedly ask
ed where the British fleet was. The
British, now reinforced by the Amer
lean navy, could leave a force ample
to protect the coast and dispatch an
armada to take the Germans in the
rear and cut them off from their rat
hole. the entrance to the Kiel canal.
If the British ever got in the rear of
the German fleet, it could never es-
cape, for in the comparatively mar
row confines Of the Baltic, the British
with airplanes and destroyers as
scouts, could hunt it down. Even now
the British feet may be steaming
through the skager Rak.
British newspapers evidently know
Of no reason why the British fleet
should not enter the Baltic. II there
is none, the greatest naval battle Of
the war may be impending. ~
The German Mutiny.
The second mutiny in the German
fleet and the uprising in the Austrian
feet. show that the first outbreak
was not an isolated disaffection. The
mutinous spirit in the German feet
is due to unwillingness to enter the
submarine service. Submarine crews
are drafted from the navy, and Eng
land has consistently refused to
give any information regarding the
fate of submarine crews. The men
leave home and never return, and
three years of this policy has evident
ly broken the nerve of the German
sailors. In Austria, the trouble was
Of different nature. The Austrians
resented the overbearing spirit OF
the German sailors and officers.
Whether the mutiny, will have any
immediate sequel time alone will tell.

Pet Polly Among Ducks.

Members of the Social Target club, maintained by Kansas City sportsmen at Mud lake, were excited some time ago when big flock of ducks settled on the lake and floated about, waiting to be shot.
 Down through the weeds and grass squirmed the hunters, guns ready.
 "Hello," came a wailing voice across the water, apparently from the flock.
 "Gosh P muttered John Caskey, dep uty county recorder at the courthouse, somebody's out in the lake,"
 Hello, hello, hello," came the an swer.
 Its a talking duck,7 gasped one of the hunters.
 "Duck nothing, it's a parrot; there he is on that muskrat house" said an- other.
 And, sure enough, "poll" parrot was sitting out in the middle of the lake and around him floated the ducks, all unmindful of his chatter.-Cleve- land Plain Dealer.
