French Aviators
Give War Thrill
To Plattsburg
Eleven Fliers from Front
Arrive with Two Members
Of Lafayette Squadron

Plattsburg, \. Y. June 25.-The mo-
notony of the color scheme at the mill
tary reservation was lightened to-day
by the presence Of thirteen horizon
blue uniforms They belonged to eleven
French aviators. accompanied by two
American members Of the Lafayette
squadron, who arrived this morning to
inspect the camp.
There have been other men here who
have seen service abroad, but none left
as much interest and excitement in
their wake as did these. They brought
q war atmosphere, which reused the
men from the lethargy with which I'M
changing routine has characterized
them and revived the old question,
How soon will We go?'
Detailed as Instructors
In the party were Captain Dourif and
Lieutenants Gauthier, de Seyssel,
Ducas, Marquisan. de Maudrat, Provost,
Montariol Lemaitre. Magresse and
Laffy, and the Americans, Elliott Cow
din and Frederick Prince, all Of whom
have figured in dispatches from the
western front. They have been de-
tailed as instructors TO the various
aviation camps here and are prefacing
their work by a study Of the material
available, coupled with suggestions on
the selection of men. Major H. {. Steb-
bin, Of the Adiutant Generals depart
ment, is in charge OF the party.
It's presence added a picturesque
touch 70 that most impressive of mill
tary ceremonies, Retreat" Standing
stifiy at attention at the foot Of the
flagstaff on the parade ground, the
visitors watched company after COM
pany debouch from the barracks and
form in a crest hollow square about
them. The bugles then sounded a sig
nal for the band, but instead Of the
"Star Spangled Banner" the strains of
the "Marseillaise" pealed forth. The
feelings of the Frenchmen could not
be repressed and il was with tears
streaming from their faces that they
raised their arms to salute. The
American anthem followed as the en-
sign was brought to earth.
Visitors Admired Drill
As the troops swung Oft the field the
visitors expressed admiration for. the
marching ability acquired with but six
weeks training.
OOOu UdlCneIS MAKE pOOu UEHleTs,
said Captain Dourf. This has been
proved again and again by the sol
diers of all nations. 1t indicates per-
feet discipline and organization; and
these. in turn. are responsible for good
sighting qualities"
Another day on the range with target
practice at 500 yards again called forth
criticism from officers and men. This
feature of their training they believe
10 be a waste Of time and are backed
up by many Of the authorities. It is
pointed out that the men Of none Of
the other belligerent armies are
trained to shoot over 200 yards save
for comparatively few professional
snipers. Shell-fre covering an advance
makes it impossible for an opposing
force to show itself above the trenches
until the advancing party is within
200 yards Enemy shrapnel fire then
ceases from fear of hitting its own
men.

recruiting week. during which the town
hopes to enroll $500 men for the

from the Italian district. Sergeant John
Haffner had just stood up to make
speeeh in one of the Italian sections,
when eleven husky young men jumped
into his bus. 1t was all the bus would
hold. so Haffner cancelled his speech.
Yesterday afternoon about fifty min
listers Of all denominations, Catholic,

The necessity last year Of raising
food and feed stuffs was great, the
coming year it is going to be vastly
greater. This is no evil thing to bring
despair to the hearts of the people
but a real blessing in disguise, for
it makes an open door of success
for the farmer who will heed the
warning and plant plenty of these
crops. There will be no low price
farm products for good many years
to come. The day of opportunity for
the farmer who is wide awake, has
dawned at last. Those who pay no
heed to this warning will be the los
ers; it is hard to get people of any
calling to look ahead but the farmer
has developed the habit of not look
ing ahead and he has also developed
the habit of not paying any attention
10 auNIce given. lie Is constantly
looking for selfish motive that
prompts the advice. This is one time
that the farmer should have an open
mind and heed the advice given. 1t
comes not only from every newspaper
but from our government, from stu
dents of history, from agriculturists
of experience and the lessons of this
year impress the same lesson.

Farmers are now receiving war
prices for their cotton. 1t is moth
ing less than their duty to invest a
portion of their war profits in Liber-
ty Bonds. The farmers are more pros
porous than anybody else in the
South, and their prosperity is di-
rect result of the war. 1t is to be
borne in mind that they are not Civ
ing the government a cent by buy
ing bonds; rather they are making
an excellent investment paying four
per cent interest. 1t is splendid way
to lay aside some savings, and at the
same time help to win the war. Money
is the great factor in the present
war. The several million allied troops
lighting in the trenches cannot be
sustained except by the expenditure of
millions of dollars in supplying am
munition and equipment. The prob
able reason for the present great Of
fensive, which has been pushed with
so much success, is American money
""O"|ii i'cu uuiIIS Ihe laSI DlDefty
loan. Heretofore it has not been pos
sible for the Allies to launch an Of
fensive and keep it up for the lack
of ammunition. The entrance Of
America with her millions has ena-
bled the British and French to get
plenty of munitions. We can read the
result in the papers every day Ev-
