oxygen which is needed in the air
at high attitudes.
When the Liberty motor was COM
pleted and it's immense power be-
cause known it was realized that to
make its possibilities available some
form of automatic oxygen supply was
necessary. Up to this time the great
er part of the air fighting has been
done in low attitudes, but the fact
that in an air fight the upper machine
has great advantage has made it
very desirable that in the new type
of American machines provision
should be made for sustained flying
at or above 10000 feet. The Liberty
motor and Liberty oxygen make this
high flying possible without danger
or discontinue to the flyer.
The government experts and the ma
tional aviation board hail the inven-
tion as the solution of the last prob
lem of the air and believe that it as
sures this country a supremacy in
battles sure to be fought by Aneri-
can flyers over German territory.
The greatest secrecy is being main
tained regarding the details of the
invention in order that it NAV be
kept available for American and allied
flyers use.(
In aeronautics it is claimed that
the invention will be as revolutionary
as was the triumph of steam over
the sailing ship. 1t will make it pos

LOSSES MAY EXCEED
THE EARLIER ESTIMATES.

Kansas City, Oct. leone half of
the Kansas City stock yards, the sec
ond largest in country, was destroyed
by fire early today. 1t was estimated
after the fire had been brought un-
der control, after raging for two
hours, that several thousand head of
cattle had been destroyed. Some es-
Inmates ran as high as ten thousand.
There were 47,000 cattle in the yards
at the close of business yesterday, it
was said and while it was possible
to liberate most of them, so rapidly
did the flame gain headway that
many were caught and burned.
Hundreds of cattle liberated from
the burning structures reached the
downtown sections of both Kansas
City, Mo-, and Kansas City, Kas.
The blaze was discovered by two
patrolmen in Kansas City, Kas., but
before they could summon apparatus
the fire had become unamanageable.
Fire departments from both Kansas
Cities combatted the flames. The
origin of the fire was undetermined.
By o'clock the fire had been ex-
tinguished after the firemen had been
fighting it with approximately 100
pieces of fire apparatus and with
dynamite.
No definite estimates as to the loss
will be made until insurance adjust
ers have taken a census of the num-
Der of cattle burned, since the fire
was confined to the cattle pens which
comprise the larger part of the yards.
The thousands of cattle which were
liberated from the pens are being
corralled. Owners are finding diff
Guilty in identifying their property
as large per centage of the stock is
from farm herds and carries no ider-
tifying brands. The Kansas City
stock yards are owned and controlled
by a corporation, many of the officers
of which are Eastern men, and a
large amount of the stock is held in
the West.

LAST PROBLEM OF THE AIR HAS BEEN
CONQUERED BY AMERICAN SCIENCE

sible for our aviators to live far be-
yond the oxygen zone, and by thus
ascending to such unprecedented
heights, dictate the terms of battle to
the enemy and force the fighting on
their own plans.
Artificial respiration for aviators
is not new. In this instance Ameri-
can scientists working under direc-
tion of the War Department have
taken an idea from the enemy and
improved it.
German aeroplanes intended for
scouting service at high attitudes are
already provided with breathing ap-
paratus. Olerich, the German, who
established a record of 10000 feet
was thus equipped. The device that
the United States had perfected will
make it possible for our aviators to
push the battle line upward another
5000 feet, and this is not only an ex-
ceptional exploit of one man, but as
the daily accomplishment of an aerial
army.
When our airplane fleet go into ac-
tion our aviators will ego to skyward"
precisely as our sea dog ancestors
instinctively went to windward for an
advantage and thus the battle will
be in their hands, to make or to re-
fuse, at their desire. The strategic
advantage in the event of an inva-
sion of Germany by an aerial Armada
would thus be incalcuable.

MASS MEETING
FRIDAY TOBOOST
LIBERTY BONDS
PROMINENT SPEAKERS vOLUN-
TEER TO SPEAK FOUR MIN
UTEs EACH IN SUPPORT OF
THE NATIONAL MOVEMENT.

A great mass meeting will be held
in Mallory Court Friday night in the
interest of the Liberty Loan, and
prominent speakers will make four
minute talks to the crowd. The
meeting was arranged by the Liberty
Loan Committee through the Food
Conservation Committee of which
Mrs. Lois K. Mayes is chairman.
Speakers for the meeting will be
Judge William B. Sheppard, w. H.
Watson, John S. Beard, Rev. John H.
Brown, Rev. w. E. McIlwain, Robert
III. Anderson, r. Pope Reese, Hunter
Brown, Philip d. Beall, and j. Walter
kehoe.
Throughout the length and breadth
of the United States, the most prom
inent speakers in every community
have enlisted their services as four
minute men, and in talks of only four
minutes duration urge the people to
buy Liberty Bonds and help win the
war for Democracy.
The value of the work of these men
is shown by the following telegram
received by the local committee from
Secretary of Treasury McAdoo:
The four-minutemen are mighty
and potential influence in the sue
cess of the Liberty Loan. They did
an immensely valuable and patriotic
service in the first Liberty loan and
l count with genuine satisfaction
upon their enthusiastic support and
service in placing the second Liberty
Loan. God speed every four-minute
man in this noble work.
w. G. McADOO.
