Paris, Sept. S.-Corporal Everett

resident of Chicago, was killed Thurs
day morning in an attack two fellow
American flyers against five German
planes, according to word received here
today.
Buckley fell with his machine, which
had been ignited by an incendiary bull
let.
The young Chieagoan, with two other
Lafayette flyers was attacked sudden
ly at a great height by five German
aviators. A lively fight ensued, the
seven great battle planes cireling over
miles, the Americans fighting gallant
ly despite the odds.
Buckley was one of the most popular
members of the American flying squad
ron. He was "a years old and was a
graduate of the Avord Flying school,
having only recently attained his am
bition to be member of the Lafayette
eseadrille.

coming when President Wilson will en-
Joy fair fame in Germany; and be-
fore that day the German masses will
be fighting on the entente side.
The German ruling classes and the
German middle classes, of course, will
fight on bitterly to the end. The well
eireumstaneed Germans desired this
war; began this war, and are still bank
ing their all upon its successful outcome
The Germany of the wage Garner, how
ever. did not desire the war, had no
hand in welcoming it, and today is bit
terly sick of it. The nerves of this wage
earning Germany are worn raw. The
masse of the German people, countless
optimistic newspaper reports to the
contrary notwithstanding, have borne
as people have seldom been called upon
to bear. Their hardships and suffer
ings are steadily and surely bringing
on a revolution in the Vaterland that,
longer repressed and delayed, will
dwarf the Russian revolution in the
fury of its outbreak.
| Germany autocratic leaders are
riding the whirlwind today and they
are only family aware of the dangers
that threaten them. They do, however,
perceive that all is not as it should be;
and hence the peace talk and the jock
e.; to convince the people that,
though they are willing to offer the
most generous peace, they must offer
it to a vindictive, blood lustful entente
in vain. The peace talk is move to
gain time; to gain time to repose in
ternally until the crucial autumn de-
velopments Of 1918. This bluff, think
will fail. "
That, as far as we know, is the first
prediction from an American who has
sad occasion to know the real Ger
many, of break between the Ger
man people and their government. dur,
ing the war. After reading the hest OF
the article it sounds plausible If not
entirely convincing.
AT any rate an opinion from man
| in Mr.. Roth Is position must be gwen
serious consideration. It is only from
men like Gerard and Roth, who know
Germany from within rather than from
without, that the average American
can form an intelligent opinion of the
real conditions in that country.

Predicts a German ReUoH
NJ !. N. ]. i'll i b

We are about $500 miles from Ger
many. Therefore unless we have had
extensive experience in that country
all of our impressions must come sec
ond hand.
Most of us only know Germany
through books and newspapers. Very
few us have lived or travelled there.
Consequently we must depend largely
upon other people for our information
regarding the German people and their
government.
When Former Ambassador Gerard
said there was no chance of a revolu-
tioh in Germany, and that the German
people were and are unit for war, 1t
was perfectly natural to believe him.
Few men had the opportunities he had
to know what he was talking about.
But now another American official
who has been in Germany longer than
Mr.. Gerard, comes along in the cur
rent Saturday Evening ost and writes
/ a very interesting article entirely at
variance with Mr.. Gerard s conclusions
The man is A. Curtis Roth, former
| United States vice consul at Plauen
Saxony. Not very exalted position
but one held many years and one which
would no doubt give Detter under
standing of the German masses, than
the more brilliant post in Berlin.
After outlining the Pan-German
scheme of victory at the end of 1918,
Mr.. Roth stakes his reputation as a
phophet upon definite forecast of an
internal German revolution. The state
ment, which we consider of great in
terest and Importance, is as follows;
1t is a comprehensive and presumptu
GUS world scheme the German rulers
have before them; but it viii fail. The
people will be INDUCED in talk of vic
tories and peace talk in vain. They
want bread rather than quibbles; they
want life rather than death; they want
their old comfort more than glory and
corrosive agonies; they want a sur
cease from burdens, spiritual and phys
ieal, grown too great to bear-and
they are going to get what they want!
1t may seem far fetched, but firmly
bblieve-and my belief is based upon
countless war experiences among the
PLAIN German people-that the day is
coming when the German people will
hail the French, English and American

|WH|SKEY MANUFACTURE
LEGALLY ENDS TONIGHT
John BarleycOrn's Case Pro-
nOunced Hopeless and He
Will Die Tonight

Washington, Sept. S.-Whiskey max
ing in the United States ends legally at
IL clock tonight. But whiskey drink
ing does not end. here were 232, ,404 $40
gallons of it stored in warehouses at the
last report, not to mention supplies in
saloons, wholesale liquor stores and with
licensed liquor dealers. This supply will
last several years.
While the food control law under
which John Barleycorn is knocked out,
is effective only for the duration of the
war, prohibitionists declare whiskey
making never will be known again in
this country. They are confident that
with the experience gained from the
present war experiment, nationwide
prohibition will soon be adopted by fed
eral constitutional amendment.
John made hard fight in congress
before the knockout was administered
in section 10 of the food control law
Herbert Hoover counted John out in
order to save about 40,000,000 bushels
of foodstuffs to fight the war.
What will happen to whiskey distil-
leries is problematical. Some have al
ready announced they will go out of
business. Others plan to continue max
ing alcohol for industrial purposes
Many may enter other lines-even max.
ing matted milk.
The law prohibits the making of dis
titled spirits for beverage purposes
Straight alcohol and denatured alcohol
may continue to be manufactured. There
are about 700 plants equipped for max
ing alcohol in this country. Only about
600, however, actually have been max
ing whiskey.
Hoover's order stops all processes III

t'The use of foods, fruits and food ma
terials or feeds may not even be initlat'
ed unless the entire process may be full
| ly completed prior to IL P. m, his or
der stated.
He did not give John Barleycorn a
single moment IS grace. While 30 days
from date of approval of the law
August 10-would be tomorrow, Sunday
Hoover fixed the hour of John s demise
at IL D. III. tonight because the internal
revenue laws prevent the operation OF
distilleries between IL Saturday night
and the following Monday morning.
Two other "dry" provisions in the
food bill have not yet been acted up,
on by Hoover. One gives the president
the right to commander any or all dis
titled spirits if necessary for redlstllla'
ton and use in munitions making OF
other military purposes. The other eE'
powers the president to limit, regulate
or prohibit the use of foodstuffs to
make beer.

PRINCE OF Wales WON

London, Aug. 16.-(By MaiD-If

Prince of Wales, Young Edward won

had been "cussing" an officer, sec

not hard to find, among privates home

accept the Prince as a real soldier. He

than other officers undergo-which any
officer knows is sufficient.

Telephone Company
Gives Employees Good
Chance for Promotion

Over three million telephone calls
are handled by The Pacific Telephone
and Telegraph company. This service is
rendered to the users of six hundred
thousand telephones. Patrons naturally
come into closest relations with the
telephone operators who respond to
their calls. Occasionally, in matters of
contract, collections, adjustments, etc.
they meet with the business represen-
tatiyes of the company who form what
is known as the commercial department
Of the company.
But the public may not realize the ex-
istence of large force of trained en-
ployes whom they never may see, but
upon whose efficiency depend in a great
measure the TIomptness and quality of
the service rendered. This force is
known as the Plant Department and
with the Pacific company numbers over
four thousand men scattered through
out its territory. These are the men
who install and maintain pole lines.
switchboards, cables, conduits and the
material instrumentadties of service.
They may be found upon the cross-arms
of the long distance lines, in the man
holes beneath the traffic of crowded
city streets, behind the switchboards
adjusting their delicate mechanism or
in the draughting room. They are call
ed upon for the labor of heavy con-
struetion and the technical skill re-
quired in the installation and adjust
ment of complicated apparatus.
The executives of the telephone com
pany realize that its plant department
must be kept in high state of eff
cheney both for routine work and en-
ergencies constantly occurring. With this
object in view, the Pacific company has
recently inaugurated a routine which
it calls a "Plan for Examination for
Promotion and Increased Compensation
for Plant Department Employees.
This plan provides for detailed but
practical examinations to be conducted
under the direction of examiners chosen
from plant supervisory forces such as
district superintendents, wire chiefs and
foremen. All employees are eligible who
can show a preliminary service of one
year No deductions are made in com
pensation of applicants for time re
quired by examinations, and even the
