GERMANS ITCH FOR
 PROMISED REPORTS
The Russian Overthrow Makes
 Them Very Restless

Following the overthrow of the Rus sian Czar, Philip Scheidmann, the great Socialist leader in the reichstag says in the socialist newspaper, Vor- waerts:
 ''It does not require many words to explain why almost the whole world is arrayed against us. The answer is giv- en quickly. The whole world sees among our enemies more or less devel- oped forms of democracy, and in us it sees only Prussians.
 We have always answered by refer ring to the absolutism of Russia, but now czarism has gone and the emper- or's successor is to accept the throne only if the representatives of the peo- pie agree. These representatives are to be elected on the basis of universal, equal, direct and secret suffrage. i Tn Asia the empire of the mandar- l ins opposed every reform. They de- sired an emperor with absolute power, as long as he did their will, and there, by undermined the monarchy and laid the foundations of a republic. In the European central empires similar spir it's seek to build similar Chinese walls and hinder every reform. The clock shows five minutes to F. They i'm agine they hold up the time when they move back the hands to Il.
 Why does the chancellor shrink back now from unconditional neces sity? Always the hesitator, the pro crastinator, Bethman-Hollweg want: to begin to cure Prussia after the war Russia also promised all reforms aftel : the war, but the war lasted too loni for the Russians.
 Why postpone till tomorrow wha is absolutely necessary today, wha even the king himself declared year ago was one of the most urgent mat ters of the business of the state? Nov is the time for decisive action.
 "The difficulties which might arise the government adopts the reichsta system of elections for Prussian elet tions are as featherweight as con pared with the difficulties which vii come if it does not do this. The char cellor should not delay one day. Tn Prussian people, as well as the othe German states, will stand as one ma | by his side If he acts decisively."

ARMIES FIGHT
 FOR SODA LAKE

If Great Britain succeeds in captur- ing German East Africa she will come into possession of one of the greatest deposits of soda in the world. She has already an enormous deposit in Lake Magadi. which lies east of Lake Vic toria Nyanza and about 280 miles from the sea, and consists of solid block of almost chemically pure sesqui-car- bonate of soda, with surface area of at least fifty square miles. It is known to be more than g feet deep. and may be fifty or 100.
 This lake is generally dry, when it looks as if frozen. After rain it is covered with a layer of strong soda water. It is fed by many springs, all charged, and some of them saturated with soda This proves that some where near by there is a far larger deposit.
 Across the border line in German East Africa are Lakes Natron, Egassi and Lawa-Y -Yamwerie larger than Lake Magadi, and formed of almost pure carbonate of soda. It is these that will become British in the event of Britain winning the German colony.

u. S. AIRMAN
, MEETS DEATH


PARIS, Sept. S.-Corporal Ev-
erett Buckley of the Lafayette
escradrille, a resident of Chicago,
was killed Thursday morning in
an attack with two fellow Amer
lean flyers against, five German
planes, according to word re-
ceived here today.
Buckley fell with his machine,
which had been ignited by an in
cendiary bullet.
The young Chicagoan, with two
other Lafayette flyers, was at
tackled suddenly at great height
by five German aviators.
A lively fight ensued, the seven
great battle planes circling over
miles, the Americans fighting gall
lantly despite the odds.
Buckley was one of the most
popular members of the American
flying squadron. He was "a years
old and was a graduate OF the
Avord Flying school, having only
recently attained his ambition TO
be a member of the Lafayette
escadrille.
Lufberry, of the Lafayette esca-
drille, downed another German
plane yesterday. According to
official citation, 1t was his 18th
victim.

This is the conclusion draw
from talk with Alan X. Hawley,
president of the Aero Club of
America, first to come to the aid
of the government when war made
necessary the sudden expansion of
the airplane forces.
Certainly we will have the air
ji'ney' after the war" said Haw-
ley. Before the war, aeronautics
was looked upon as at best only
an expensive sport, with no real
utilitarian purpose"

The war; ne went on, has
taught everybody the utility Of
aircraft.
The British government, foi
instance, spent 1915, 100000 last
year for aeronautfcs and is spend
ing about one billion dollars this
year. Our own government has
appropriated $720,00O,000 fol-
aeronautics, nearly $350,O00,0
to go into the actual manufacture
of aircraft.
THAT means approximately TO-.
600 planes this year. England Il
turning out about 10000, and tn.
other allies almost as many.
Great Britain has about 500,
600 aviators, pilots, operators
mechanics and assistants. We vii
train 10000 aviators this year
but the numbers in all the nation,
will be rapidly increased.
When the war ends there will
be no. only tremendous humble
OF serviceable aircraft of all kind
but also a large number of thoro

a vast factory equipment.
None of this will be junked
you may be sure. A certain pro

will be kept in military service
but there will be tremendous
