BELGIAN PLIERS USED BOOBIES TO
 LOMBARD PLANTS
Guided by Teuton Aviator's Own Signals They Blow
 Up Station

( Havre, June 1.-The work of the Belgian flying corps has been Tar more important than could be sup posed from the limited publicity it has received. Its work all through the war has gone far beyond it's CO., operation with the other Belgian mili- tary forces. Even before the consoli- dation of the fronts of the allied ar- mics was effected and before the Bel gian troops took their place on the left wing cooperation of Belgian avi- ators with the French and British corps was intimate.
 They participated in the defense of Lege, Namur, Antwerp, the Yser and Ypres. They effected reconnoitering flights of 200 miles to watch, the ad- vance of German troops toward the Marne. Belgian aviators announced to the allied staffs the intervention of deep masses of fresh German forces advancing toward the Yser on the road to Calais.
 All through the long seige opera tions along the Yser front Belgian aviators were the watchful eyes of the artillery enabling effective replies to heavy German bombardments in spite of the highly perfected means possessed by the Teutons for fighting aircraft.
 Belgian aviators have participated in great many of the combined bombing expeditions of the allied fly ing corps and have specialized / in night bombardments. Yet few or the many individual exploits of members of the Belgian corps have come to public notice. A correspondent of the . Associated Press has just learned one of these exploits. dating months back, that seems not to have been told.
 A Belgian airplane, piloted by Ad- jutant Jenatzy, brother of the auto mobile racer, with Lieut.. Rolin as observer, took the air above the Ger man lines. ,Rolin was looking for comrades in the air, when he spied passing under him in a ray of moon light a machine that he recognized as a German. It was followed by sec- ond and a third.
 There are the Germans" he said to Jenatzy. Let us follow them''
 The Belgian machine followed the { German flotilla until it arrived above the aviation camp of Ghistelles The German machines began to- descend in long spirals. Jenatzy and Rolin followed them. They saw the Ger man pilots making luminous signals, to which searchlight from the avia- ton camp responded. Then the whole camp was lighted up; sheds, landing ground, guiding searchlights, were all well in view.
 i One German machine landed, then the field was plunged again into ob- scurity, to be lighted up again an instant later, to darken again after each landing. When three German machines reached the eT
 and Rolin cut off the gasoline supply from their motor and decided to take the big risk.
 < Rolin repeated with an electric s1amp the signals that he had just seen the Germans give. The search lights below responded.

SCHOOL BENEFIT FOR Y. M. C. A.

A very delightful basket social ana
program, for the benefit of the Y. Nj.

house, No. 5, under the able supervl-
sion of Miss Florence Palmer. teach
er.
The program began at $50 ana
proved a wonderful success from start
to finish. The children rendered their
parts exceptionally well, proving
themselves fully equal TO the occa-
sion. Music rendered by Oscar Toll
lefson and Clarence Anderson added
much to the success of the program.
A few of the excellent features by
the pupils:
Brides Ball-By six little girls.

Pantomime-The Girl. Genevieve

The school oom was appropriately
and artistically decorated with flags
and the letters "Y. NJ. c. A." in red,
white and blue.
Joe Harms kept the bidding on the
baskets brisk and to the point, and a
sum of $42.45 was realized, which
goes to prove that Mr.. Harms is a
very efficient auctioneer. On the
whole, the affair was a grand success,
socially and financially, and those
who took part and who were in charge
are certainly to be congratulated upon
the splendid success of the evenings
entertainment.
Great credit is due Miss Palmer,
her pupils and the patrons of Preston
school district No. 5, for the loyalty
and patriotism manifested in the
evenings program. The spirit of pa
triotism thus displayed was very i'm
pressive indeed. $4,000 of the pro
ceeds were donated to the Y. NJ. c. A.
war fund for Brookings county. This
is a noble cause and Miss Palmer and
pupils are to be commended for their
progressiveness and enthusiasm mani
Tested in behalf of our boys in the

This school is a decided success as
a social and community center if the
interest, cooperation and success of
Miss Palmer's program is any crit
erion.

New Russia Wishes to Preserve
Union Nth American Democracy;
Wilson Sends Message of Hope

Washington. Oct. 18.-Messages of
f%elicitation upon the union of the
United States and the new Russian
democracy in the cause of justice ex-
changed by President Wilson and
Madame Catherine. Breshkovskaya,
chairman of the Russian committee
ON civic education, were made public
today at the state department.
Madame Breskovskaya cabled:
we Russian citizens have been re-
ceiving from the American people so
many tokens of friendship and express
sions of good will to help Russia in
her hour of difficulties that we feel
an imperious desire on part to say
to the great democracy of the United
States how near to our hearts is the
union with that democratic people and
how %fervently we wish to preserve
that union and friendship so long as
u nations last.

We greatly appreciate the willing
ness of " elder brother and democ-
racy to aid is in building a truer de-
mocracy that will guarantee our lib
critics and give to all in Russia equal
opportunity. The Russians on our
part are ready to be useful to our
brethren on the other side of the
ocean and defend the ground with
their liberty and our common welfare
from the assaults Of whatever enemies

friendship"
President Wilson replied:
at has afforded me genuine pleas
ure to receive your eloquent message.
At this hour, when the historic events
of the past few months have brought
Russia into such close touch with
America, 1t is most heartening to wit
ness the courage with which the new
Russia faces the problems of the fu-
ture, especially when the high mis-
sion of national enlightenment and
preparedness for the great duties
which fall upon a civic democracy is
advanced and sustained by such an
educational organization as yours.
I'VE of America long since learned
that intellectual development and
moral fitness are the most powerful

Now lie the time for all good men
To come to the aid Of the party"
I write it down again and again
That sentiment hale and hearty;
It's q grand old phrase to practice on
When testing your skill at tipping,
And 1t meant a lot in the days agone
When political times were piping.
"Now is the time for all good men
To come to the aid of the party
It once went great in the seasons
when
The partisan trend was hearty;
But now. in the days when we fight
the Hun 4
Because of his hate besotten,
That sort of a phrase is through and
done.
Its potency is forgotten.
+rNow Is the time for all good men=''
We need a new line to finish
For strong as the hold Of the old has
been
It's power and strength diminish;
So we cheerfully tap on the keys
And write. in our exaltation,

To come to the aid of the MA
