 AVIATION CORPS
 |S NEED IF MEN

The United States navy aviation corps has immediate need of men for service in its non-flying branch. This is the substance of an order which has come to all navy recruiting headquart- CTS recently, and it is stated that regis tered draft men who are not needed by their local boards for immediate draft quotas will be permitted to enlist in this and other branches of the navy
 Both skilled and unskilled men are required, though the men most urgent ly needed are mechanics, blacksmiths, machinists, carpenters and copper smiths. Men who have g. knowledge of flying machines, their construction and upkeep, will find particularly at tractive opportunities in this branch of the service. These men are wanted for immediate service, and as soon as en- listments are made, they will be at- tached to some of the naval training stations at once, either at Pensacola, Florida, Bay Shore, Long Island, N. r., or San Diego. California
 All of these men will be required for ground work only, and they will not be permitted to enter the flying branch of the service. The navy realizes that upon the highly trained and efficient men who stay behind the lines and keep the flying craft in perfect condition depends the success of the entire aerial service.

east. The latter line passes through Caudry, a town of 1000 inhabitants, and after reaching Busigny turns in a southwesterly direction to St. Quentin. The two less important lines are those running to Le Cateau, 16 miles distant, with important woolen and spinning mills, and to Eolesmes, a linen manu- featuring town IS miles away.
 "The lines of the western sector run northwestward to Douai. 16 miles away, eastward to the village of Bois- leuX, a station on the important Arras- Amiens railway line, and southward to St. Quentin on the Somme and to Chaulnes, this line branching east and west at Roisel.
 ''Cambrai lies to the north and slight ly east of Paris, 121 miles distant by rail, via St Quentin and Busigny, and 12S miles by way of St. Just, Chaulnes and Peronne.
 Before the war the town was quite an important manufacturing city, with extensive soap works, sugar mills and textile factories. Of course, it's chief distinction from an industrial stand point is the fact 1t was here that Bap- tiste Coutaing, the weaver, is supposed to have made the first cloth which now bears the name of "cambric," in honor of the town, and the fine muslin called "batiste," which commentaries the achievement of the weaver. It was in the 18th century that cambric was in- vented.
 'Cambrai occupies an important | place in medieval French history. II | was here that the famous League of | Cambrai was formed in 1908, the mem- bers of the league being Pope Julius | II, the Emperor MaXimilian I, Louis XII of France and Ferdinand, King oi Aragon. The primary object of the al lies was the overthrow of Venice, which
 would have been fully accomplished
 had not mutual jealousies defeated the
 chief aim of the alliance.
 "Twenty-one years after the forma
 ton of this famous league, an almos
 equally famous peace was signed her, by Louise of Savoy. representing hel
 son, Francis I of France, and Margare
 of Austria, representing her nephew
 the Emperor Charles V. This treat,
 which, owing to its feminine sigma
 tories, became known as the "Paix de
 Dames," put an end to the plans for l;
 duel between Francis and Charles
 This single-handed battle had beel
 proposed as a means of settling tn
 differences between the two monarch
 without plunging their respective coun
 tries into bloody war.
 Tn the closing yeass of the sixteentl
 century Cambrai passeS to the Spanis crown. and it remained a part of tn , Flemish possessions of that royal fam fly nearly a hundred years. Its re cession to France took place by tn Treaty of Jmwegen, during the reig ? of Louis XIV. In 1793 the town re sisted a siege by Austrian forces, bu it fell before the Duke of Wellington l attack in 1S15.'

RAILROADS MAKE CAMBRIA VALUABLE
 ID BELL|CERE|VTS

WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 2s.-"The vast importance to both beIligerents of the town of Cambrai, 121 miles north east Of Paris and twenty miles south east of Arras, is due in very large measure to the railways which radiate from it spoke-like fashion, as from the hub of a wheel,' says war geography bulletin issued today from the Wash ington headquarters of the National Geographic society.
 Seven railroads meet and cross each other at this little city of 3O,o0O inhabitants which clings to slope ris- ing from the right bank of the River Scheldt. Fully to appreciate the value of this military depot one needs only to realize the territory which it's rail- roads cover. If we should draw a north and south line through the town tour of its railroads would be found branching off in an easterly direction, and three to the west. The two main lines on the eastern side extend to

methods, and Mr.. Smith of Colorado
States Ways and Means committee.
The meeting was well attended by
the men who were here to give their
talks and demonstrations, but the
audience was scarcely any larger in
numbers than the speakers This was
not because the farmers did not want
to come. 1t was because everyone
was SO busy at this particular season
of the year that they could not pos
sibly get away from their work.
II surely would like to meet the
farmers" stated Mr.. Clark, ''but
inasmuch as they have SO much work
at this season 1 see where they are
right is staying on the job rather
than attending meeting"
