leading military authorities in this
country and among our allies Plans

since got control in the upper element,
but their advantage falls short of be-
ing an overwhelming superiority.
Highly Organized Forces.
An army's aerial units are hecom-
ing as highly organized as the forces
on the ground. Different kinds OF
machines have specific tasks and only
rarely depart from their particular
work. First in Importance is the fight
ing machine. capable of making $50
miles an hour, carrying one man only.
This type of machine can do anna fng
things in the way of speed and hair
breadth maneuvers. 1t is especially
built to Withstand severe strain.
Next comes the two-seated fighting
craft. These have a machine gun in
/ front and rear. and carry more fuel
than the one-man machine. enabling
them to make longer flights. 1t Is

only those especially built for fighting
so out and seek the enemy. In recent
movements on the western front the
allies have asserted and held mastery
of the air. keeping German machines
away during every big offensive and
doing an invaluable part lin the work
of hammering the Hun.
Experience has shown that the Mo-
rane Saulnier monoplane Of tee
French and the Sopwith and Bristol
biplanes Of the British are the best
fighting craft. The three Of them have
speeding powers Of the highest order
and excel any that the foe has, brought
forward. The best German machine,
according to the aviators Of the allies
is the Fokker. which was adapted from
the Morane- Saulnier.
Germans Using Flssts.
Recent dispatches have told of Ger
man efforts to regain a place In the

the plan of attacking one enemy avi-
atOr, with two or three German ma
chimes did not work very well. they
are now sending out armies Of fly

This means another evolution In aerial

airplane battles of tomorrow will be
fought by a fleet OF machines num-
bering into the hundreds. In antici :
patton OF such a situation. American
energies are being turned to intensive
production of fighting craft.
Undoubtedly the verdict in this war
will go to the side having the heavi-
est artillery. Without guns nothing

blinded they become many times less
| effective. The aviator is the eye OF
the army, and the allies have now
determined. once and for ALL to pluck
out the eye OF the foe. 1t Is to this
| end that dozens Of factories now are
beginning the manufacture of air ma :
. chimes. and that many hundreds OF
! young Americans are getting ready
to take part in the plucking. If We
can help to definitely drive the Ger
man from the air--on that day we
will have done our bit toward victory

Emmet A.

 The food preparedness bureau has been advised by s. w, Westbrook of the agricultural department of the Louisville and Nashville railroad that lsouthern sweet potatoes had been put on the governments contract list and would be purchased by the quarter masters departments as standard food for army use.
 While no requests for bids have been received at the food bureau from the army camps for sweet potatoes, 1t is expected that bids will probably bo asked at later date.

The district appellate exemption board, offices on the twenty-first floor of the Jefferson County Bank building, held a session yesterday, and granted seven exemptions filed before the board. Nineteen petitions were refused. The halls of the twenty first floor were crowded throughout the day, and the interest manifested shows how keen is the desire of some to escape military service.
 The members of the board present were: Ex-Governor Enmet O'Neal, chairman; Priestly Toulmin. secretary; H. L. McElderry Talladega; R. P. Hue- ger. Anniston; E. w. Gray, Tuscaloosa, and Judge Thomas M. Rogers. who is serving as clerk of the board.

 When the bill was pending, the na- tional headquarters of the miners union formally protested against the terms of the bill directly applicable to them, and demanded, though without success, that they be guaranteed representation on any board or commission which might be named to set the price of coal By the terms of the Dill, should the gov ernment commander coal mines, the government could draft miners and re- duire them, through military necessity. to labor without recognition of their union, at government prices.
