to the engineers, and to American in. genuity. It also goes to show that America has men with brains equal to any other nation. but being American, we must face dire necessity before we put the best that is in us into our work.
 The engine, guarded by four men on it's tour to P.kes Peak, where it WAS tried out, has proven great success n every way, and one of the engines, in ali airplane, has already established a new American altitude re@'rd.
 This news is very gratifying. not only to the men who dcsignrd the en- zine but tu the American public in general It means that the government, while apparently moving very slowly in making preparations necessary to bring this great war to victorious end, is in reality working at top speed, and sparing no expense to give our armies the best that can be made in modern fighting machinery.

NEW LIBERTY MOTOR.

American genius has again come to the front, with the entry of the new Liberty motor, an invention of Ameri- can engineers. Secretary Eaker confi- dently asserts America will gain supremacy in the air with this new motor, specially designed for airplanes, and which gives more power and speed at the minimum weight, to the craft From 90 to no miles per hour was made on test flight last week.
 Two of the best engineers in the country were called into conference, told what the nation needed and when they must have it. These men, locked in suite of rooms in a Washington hotel, with the aid of consulting engi- neers, labored night and day, and gave the government what it needed, and when it wanted it. Much credit is due

TOBACCO FOR SOLDIERS.

Nearly every town in the state has started Tobacco Fund for the soldiers who have gone to camp. This fund is made up from amounts contributed by the local men, women ard children, and is used in purchasing tobacco for local men who have gone either to war or camp.
 Canaan has been called to contribute several of It's young men for the national army, and some of these have already left for camp. While they may have plenty of "smokes'' or the wherewithal to purchase them at present, there will come a time when the kind of tobacco and the form in which they prefer it, cannot be ob- tained.
 4 large majority of the men drafted are smokers, and all men who smoke realize what it means to be without this need. Army and Navy surgeons appreciate this fact, and while they have prohibited the use of intoxicants, tobacco has been placed on the lust of necessities, which the soldier must have.
 We urge every person in this con- munity tc bear these facts in mind and contribute something, even if it is only a.few cents, to the fund for tobacco..for soldiers. The News W ill be pleased to receive contributions for this purpose, and either forward them to the proper authorities or make arrangements with the American Tobacco Co.,, from whom a reduced price might be secured.

DRAFTING ALIEN s.

The wheels of the government machinery have begun to revolye, very slowly,it is true, but neverthe less sure, and it is gratifying to know that the government has started something which will eventually make 1t possible to draft aliens into the national army.
 Much talk has been heard and no little feeling created. due to the fact that aliens who are living under the same conditions and have the same rights and privileges, with the excep. ton of voting, as those who are citi zens, and yet they cannot be forced to bear arms in defense of the liberty which they enjoy. In some cases, the alien has gone so far as to smirk and laugh at those who have been drafted, thinking that when thousands of our citizens had been taken from the country, they would be able to enjoy still further privileges and get the cream of the land from the minimum effort of their labors. This, of course, has been presumptious on their part.
 Under a resolution introduced by Sen. Chamberlain, of Oregon, which, if passed, will make all aliens, except Germans and those of countries allied with Germany, who have resided in this country one year, subject. to draft There are of course, some aliens, who would claim treaty exemption, and these according to the resolution, would be given 90 days in which to leave the country.
 Legislation of this kind has been agitated tor some time, and it is abso- lutely necessary that action be taken in order to protect the interest of the native born American citizen. The birth rate of foreigners outnumbers that of Americans by nearly two to one. What would be the outcome, then, SlOulu Gl0 war 1dSb lTOul GIlrc0 UO uV6 years with the flower of American manhood doing the fighting, and the aliens or foreigners, rapidly multiply ing under conditions which would make it ecessary for American pusi. nessmen to humble themselves to foreign labor?
 Is is estimated that over 1,000,000 alieHs would be directly affected by the passage ot such law.
 These aliens are enjoying the liberty which our forefathers bought with their blood. They have every reason to voluntarily take up arms for the country which not only feeds them, but gives them every opportunity to make of themselves that to which they aspire. If they propose to hide behind laws and treaties, it is up to Uncle Sam to amend these law, so as to equalize the burden of war as we'll as the joys of peace.
