For month past. but especially
since June /, the airplanes on this
front have been indefatlgably at work
during every possible flying hour.
They had brought down nearly so ma
chimes in six days as means OF blind
ing the enemy. Lately the Germans
have endeavored valiantly to obtain
airplane observations for their artil-
lery, but their observing machines
have seldom been able to direct more
than one or two shots before the Brit
ish fighting scouts had bounced upon
them and either sent them crashing to
the earth or had driven them to cover
at breakneck speed.
Today the British planes flew far
and long over the enemy's retreating
lines and were only challenged by
some very bad-shooting anti-aircraft
batteries. All through the day British
planes ruled the air. They co-operated
actively with the British artillery and
Infantry I'm maintaining the success Of
this brilliant episode in modern war
fare.

HEN, RAISED CHICKS.

When chicks are raised In the nat

liable to he made in the care Of the
chicks. Still. early in the season. when
there is much bad weather, too much
must not be left to the hen. because
she cannot supply all the care that Is
needed. Many early hen Matched chicks
are lost through failure to give them
suitable quarters where they will have
plenty of room and can take advan-
tage of the sunshine Small chicks are
far better on, indoors when the wealth
er is not pleasant. Later on in the
season or when the chicks are Of some,
size running outside will be invigorat-
ing, but It is best to work on the safe
side at all times and take no chances
Of chilling the chicks. -.----.-.-...-
Sometimes the chicks from two
matches are given to one hen for rais-
Ing and this works nicely in warm
weather. but do not try It until after
the list Of May, because In cool wealth
or one hen cannot cover more than A.
teen chicks right, and quite early in
the season ten chicks are all hen can
look after. ..vv1vvH-'n "
Let the mother hen care for early
chicks just as long as she viii do 20,
and until the chicks are well feathered
have some means Of protecting them
ON cool nights. The proper ventilation
Of their house or coop, however, must
always be watched carefully.
Chicks must be made to exercise free
~ at all times, and, except when there
IL a good range, portion OF the feed
should be given in q litter.

 As Secretary of State his most notable act was treaty with the Americans in Hawaii who had been concerned in the overthrow of the native Kueen, providing for annex ation of the islands to the United States. President Harrison's ad- ministration was drawing to a close and before the treaty could be rat flied by the Senate, President Cleve- land took office and withdrew it as his first official act.
 Mr Foster was born in Pike County. Indiana, March 2, 1896, the son of a lawyer. He entered law at an early age and served in the union army as an officer.
