France $ Mastery Of Air
Aidedby America S Plans
To Realize Great Effort Confronting Flying
Branch Reference to Germany's Plans Only
Necessary Formidable Enterprise to Be Car
ried Through MethOdically

Paris. June 13.-(Delayed)-A semi
official note concerning the strengthen
ing of the flying branch of the allied
service and the cooperation of AM
erica in this effort, says:
Fantastic figures have been pub
lished regarding the increase Of the
aviation corps, but to realize what
great effort confronts US, it is only
necessary to see what the enemy is do
ing. Germany proposes to bring in
line for the spring of 1918 machines to
the number of $500.
"Incomparison with the thousands
ers have juggled, this seems feasible.
1t is nevertheless considerable. for it
is not only a question of having that
many machines. The number must be
maintained, and, to maintain it, drafts
calculated at 80 per cent for the light,
fast machines. and at 80 per cent for
the heavy machines must be furnished
monthly.
Without giving the French figures,
it may be said that they are consider
able and comforting and that con-
American cooperation, which will en-
able France to maintain the mastery
of the air.
THE help asked of the United States
has already been arranged for in ac-
cordance with precise exact plans and
consists, first, of the dispatch of
first contingent of trained pilots who
Will complete their instruction. in
France and the despatch to America Of
q contingent of French instructors sent
at the request Of the United States;
secondly, increased shipments from
America of half finished parts-and
the co-opration of American industry
with French industry in certain
French plants capable of vast devel-
opment and. finally, the production Of
engines and complete machines by
America according to her own means
and methods.
This program has been thoroughly

FIRST n. E. STACKER
Prosecution of Frank Motchian
of Norwood

Boston, June 1.-THE first prosecu-
ton in New England Of man charg-
ed with refusal to register for the Sc
lective draft resulted today in the
holding by the federal grand jury Of
Frank Motchian Of Norwood. Arrested
first because Of alleged efforts to in
duce fellow workmen not to register,
it was charged specifically that Notch
ian himself refused to register when
rendered the cards at the East Cam
bridge Jail. The defendant testified
that he had filled out the card, but
would not sign it because he was So
cialist and was opposed to war. He
was returned to Jail when he was un-
able to furnish $4,000 bonds.

face under d seductive mask. 1t is
evident that the conference can be-
come the turning point in the terrible
epoch of fratricidal war only if the
members of the conference are i'm
bued with these ideas, And it is no
less evident that all the questions you
have raised cannot be the subject of
discord or motive for continue
ton Of the war.
Having recognized the right of ma
tons to dispose of their destiny, the
members of the conference will come
to an understanding without difficulty
regarding the future of Alsace- Lor-
raine and other regions. Moreover, the
working classes, relieved OF the mu-
tual distrust with which the imperial
lists have envenomed themselves, will
agree regarding the means of grant
ing the compensation and the amount
Of such compensation to the countries
devastated by war, like Belgium, Po
land, Galicia and Serbia. But it goes
without saying that such compensation
must have nothing in common with
the contribution which is imposed on
conquered country.
Regarding your statements that it
is impossible for you to break the Sc
cret union-that statement evidently is
based on 2 misunderstanding for the
council of workmen's and soldiers del
egates claims from no party as a pre-
liminary condition the remuneration of
the policy already pursued by it. The
council expects from the conference of
the Socialists of the belligerent and
~
internationale which will permit all the
working parties of the whole world to
struggle in concert for a general peace
and break the bonds which unite them
by force to the governments and the
classes imbued with imperialistic ten
denotes which prevent peace.
THE council of the workmen's and
soldiers delegates also considers 1t fu-
tile for parties to make it an absolute
condition of their taking part in the
conference that the preliminary con-
sent Of other parties shall be obtained
to any obligatory decision, for that
would give rise to irreconcila bic con-
tradictions on questions an amicable
discussion Of which might lead TO a
solution acceptable to both parties.
Regarding your desire to obtain a
previous complete agreement between
the allied Socialists, the way in which
we put the problem renders futile any
such understanding. We consider that
the conference can succeed only il the
Socialists consider themselves not the
representatives Of the two belligerent
parties but he representatives Of SIN
gle movement Of the working classes
towards q common aim Of a general
peace"

4 GENERAL SURVEY OF
The WAR.

Thursday, June 21.-The French re-
captured part of the positions gained
by the Germans in Wednesdays at
tack on the Aisne front east of Vaux-
aillon The battle was waged with ex-
IRENE violence, the Germans employ
ing fresh troops from the Russian
front. Heavy losses were suffered by
the Germans.
In the Champagne the French gain.
ed ground northeast of Mont Carnil-
let.
Friday, June 22.-Heavy attacks by
the Germans north of the Aisne have
been repulsed by the French troops
with severe casualties.
In the attack, which was along a
front of about mile and a
quarter, the Germans succeeded at
only one point in penetrating the
French trenches and were expelled in
a counter attack.
Saturday, June 23.-Along the front
in the Aisne region of northern
France the German crown prince en-
gagged in a series of attacks on the
French lines, along and near the west
ern end Of the Chemin-D es-Dames.
At one or two places they met with
some success, notably near Froidmont
farm, where on Friday, considerable
salient in the French line fell into
German hands.
Friday night serious attempts were
made by the Germans to debouch
from this salient. The French fire was
too much for them, however, and no
further progress was made
Sunday, June 24.-The Germans
were foiled in an attempt to hit tho
French counter of the Laon-Reims
front to the south of Juvincourt. There
lies the formidable condo, that fell to
the French in the April drive. The
crown prince attempted to recapture
this position but failed.
A local Teuton assault near Mont
Carnillet, in the Champagne, was re-
pulsed. In the direction of Auberive,
the easternmost point on the Cham
payne front, French scouts darted in
to German lines, did some effective
bayonet work and returned with pris-
oners
Monday, June 25.-Successful raids
Sunday night by the British gave them
400 yards of trenches in the woods at
the western outskirts of Lens, which
operation brought them further along
both banks of the Souche river on a
front of about mile and half south
west of the town. Mighty artillery
duels between the French and Ger
mans are still in progress in several
sections between scissors and
Rheims.
American naval gunner fought off a
big German submarine which attacked
an American passenger liner off the
coast of Ireland Sunday night. A tor
pedo fired by the submarine missed
it's mark by less than twenty feet.
Members of the crew of British
steamer which arrived in the U. S.
on Monday reported having sunk an
attacking German submarine.

Sour Stomach

This is mild form of indigestion. It
is usually brought on by eating too
rapidly or too much, or of food not
suited to your digestive organs. If you
will eat slowly, masticate your food
thoroughly, eat but little meat and
none at all for supper, you will more
than likely avoid the sour stomach
without taking any medicine whatever.
When you have sour stomach take one
of Chamberlain s Tablets to aid digestion
