KEEP CLiM BiNG.

Although your chance in life seems
small,
Rough the path and dark,
Don't worry tnat you're going to
fall.
But get n frmer start.
Slowly trudge on toward the goal
Keep headed the right way.
, Remember, you can never win
Life's battle In a day.
Like climbing up n ladder,
Ascending step by step:
, Keep your aim the highest
Lest your mission you forget.
When at last the top Is gained,
Thank God the task is done;
, Look back upon the steps you've
climbed,
The battle nobly won.

BRITISH CLAIM
 SUPREMACY IN AIR

The London Times Of recent date quotes Gen. F B. Maurice. director of information at the war once with reference to aerial operations, thus:
 The general impression has got abroad recently thai We are long way behind in the air. not only behind the Germans bur also the French and Italians. That is not true.
 During the recent air raids on Lon don the Germans dropped four and one-half ions ot explosives on the Lon don area. Tn the same period British av;ators dropped 2I5 tons Of bombs on ob5ectives behind the German lines. We have always led the enemy in the air and are still leading.
 Our greatest air success was in the battle of the Somme. where We swamp d the Germans in the air. and our air superiority was so expensive 10 the enemy that he ser about insuring him self against repetition by devoting
 -emendous energy 10 the develop nent Of the air service. But even so he could only follow us and initiate our methods
 We started bombing from aero planes; they, followed. But we al ways nave been and now are doing more than twice as much as they are able 10 do. We started to use aero planes in attack by employing mach ne guns against the enemy troops. The Germans copied this, but never as successfully.
 During The whole battle Of Ypres from July 31 to the present we have not allowed The Germans to interfere with the regular routine of our recon noisance and photographic machines and other necessary offensive activ- ities."

Allies Want to Be Relieved From Burden of Feeding
 German Prisoners
 Until After War

WASHINGTON. Oct 21.-President Wilson and several members of his cabinet met in conference to consid- CT the advisability of bringing over some thousands of German prisoners. who are now considered burden on the Allies.
 The suggestion was made several weeks ago but was not taken serious ly until the last day or two when 1t was pointed out that if carried out. it would have the tendency of tighten ing the burden of the Allies as well as the United States. since the food with which to feed the prisoners is mostly imported from the United States. The prisoners it is said would be brought on transports returning from across empty.
