GERMAN AIR CHIEF SCOPES AT U. S. PLIERS

Copenhagen, July 2A-The com mandfng general of the German aerial forces has issued an interview to the German newspapers in which he att tempts to discount prospective par lticipation of American aviators in the war for mastery of the air Dispatches from the United States telling of hun dreds of aviators who are to be grad uated weekly and of the thousands or airplanes to be constructed give the general an occasion to speak scof. fingly of what he terms the usual Anglo-Amrican bluff and American weakness for big talk and tall figures.
 '"rhe German people," says the gen. era1, need not be disturbed by these foolish scare stories. which show all the characteristics of American tongue vs1or." He adds that America s present supply of army and navy air planes is negligible. He cites The Londen Morning Post to prove that Americans have not developed prac- ticabie type of military plane, and says therefore they must enter as be- xanners
 American fliers, he says, undoubted- ly will appear at no distant date in increasing numbers on the Western front. but the American aviators thus far encoHntred have not been par ticulAxly dangerous opponents of the Germans, and a new squadron would merely augment the already num- erica1 superiority of the Allies and not affect the question of aerial mast cry, which, he asserts, is dependent on the morale of the fiiers and not their numbers.

SERVANTS IN EUROPE.

American women used to look with envy upon their sisters across the waters who had in their households domestic servants. happy to work long hours at small wage and who would never think of leaving without giving long notice. And if they did leave, what of it? There were so many others waiting to take their place that you merely had to give a sign. and another "jeweP' would enter their homes. But now it's very different. Why do housework when we can become postwomen, conductors on street cars. motormen, chaueuses and do other jobs that the men used to do," say the jewels" Besides thou- sands of them are engaged in making munitions. So in future the house. wives of Europe will have to go to the employment offices and be looked over by the superior persons who think they might icondescend to enter your household, providing they can have every Sunday off, don't have to wash, cook or scrub and are permit ted to entertain all the policemen and chauffeurs they want. Of all the evils the war has brought, this is one of the greatest.

 What do you want my little fel- 1ow?" asked the Queen of one small boy who planked down his plate on the counter.
 Two pennorth of am, lady" was the reply.
 Queen Mary handed out the ham and stuck the ticket on a spike in quite a business fashion.
 Owing to the recommendation of the Queen. the-e was a ''rCc"on pies. The average price of the 10 ar- ticles on the menu was two pence and the royal servers disposed of a large quantity before handing the distribu- ton oyer to others.

PAY FOR FAMILIES
 OF FIGHTING MEN
 PLANNED BY U. S.

Washington, July 24-The Federal governments plan for insuring officers and men of the army, navy and Mar inc Corps against death and injury while in service broadened yesterday into a complex program which would provide government alloy. ances for families of soldiers and sailors and the rehabilitation and training of in- jured men to fit them for making livelihood after the war.
 The program was discussed at con- ferences yesterday, among officials of the War, Navy. Treasury, Commerce and Labor departments, the labor committee of the Council of National Defence and the presidents and other high officers of leading insurance companies of the United States.
 Issuance of insurance policies from $1, ,00O to $10,000 to officers and men at ordinary peace time rates, the gov ernment paying the extra cost; in demnities for total or, partial disa- ibility, and administration of the en- tire scheme by the governments war risk insurance bureau, which is at present insuring officers and crews of American merchant vessels, are among the outstanding features of the proposed program.
 The plan has not yet assumed definite form," said a statement is- sued at the Treasury late yesterday, "but when it has been worked out in all it's fundamentals and details Sec retary McAdoo will present it to the President for his approval, and if ap- proved, the recommendation will be submitted to Congress at an early date for it's consideration.
 Under the plan discussed, it is sug- gested that provision be made for the support of dependents of soldiers and sailors by giving them an allotment out of the pay of the men and also an allowance by the government; that
 officers and men be indemnified against death or total or partial dis ability; that a system of rehabilita- tion and re-education of disabled men be inaugurated and that the govern ment insure the lives of sailors and soldiers on their application at rates of premium based upon ordinary risks.
 Dependents of soldiers and sailors in service would be provided for
 through al1otments from their pay Fsupp1emented by family allowances by the government. The amount of the government allowance would depend | upon the size of the family and, as 1 to others than the wife and children, | upon the actual dependency upon the | men. The family allowance would 1 be made only if the sailor or soldier makes an allotment for his depend ents out of his pay.
 | "In working out the new system
 it is deemed essential that system i for re-education and rehabilitation be established, so that injured men may
 be fitted as far as possible for lives o1 usefulness either in their former o1 l some other vocation"

NORMAN E. MACK.

The abilities of Norman E. Mack are we'll known generally to people throughout the land. and especially to several political leaders who have from time to time sought to place ob- stacles in his path. They know him only too we'll, for that astute polfti- clan turned the tables on them more than once. As chairman of the Ma tiona1 Democratic committee in 1912 he excelled in the matter of making things run smoothly at Baltimore. and heaven knows that a hard job it is to make one of those affairs run off without amending rows. Norman Edward Mack is by birth a Canadian, having first seen the light of day at West Williams. Onthario, Canada, on July 24, 1855. which makes him 62 years old today. He was educated in the schools near his home and started his business career as a newsboy on the Grand Trunk Railway. It was during this time that he developed the ambition to become a moulder of public opinion, and his first ven ture in that line was as the editor and publisher of newspaper issued dur ing the summer months, at Chautau- qua Lake. With a sum said to have been less than $500 in his pocket he landed at Buffalo one fine day and started out to accumulate enough money to buy g. real newspaper He worked hard and had many obstacles to overcome, bue he seems to thrive on obstacles. Suffice it to say that today he owns the Buffalo Times, one of the most influential papers in the state of New York. He is also editor of the National Monthly, a literary publication and of a syndicate maga- zine that is used as a supplement by newspapers all over America. Mack and his paper gave strong support to Cleveland. When Bryan appeared in the political arena back in 1896 Mack held back for a while, because all the big advertisers were backing Mo Kinley. But after thinking it over Mack came out fiatfooted for the Nebraskan and free silver. He has been active in politics for many years and If you want to find out whether or not he is clever at the game, call aside Charley Murphy of Tammany Hall and l'Fingy'' Corners of Buffalo and let them whisper into your ear just what they think of him as an opponent.

Then come nervous troubles backaches, head aches. frequently organic troubles, which reduce them almost to despair.
 Women suffering thus should first recognize the necessity of putting on the brakes and slowing down. Be- sidea this. to remedy the mischief already done to their health. the best reliance is upon that famous and standard medicine for women's ail- ,ments, Lydia E.. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound-Adv
