WAR AND THE MAILS

If it frequently happens in peace times the mail goes astray and travels many miles and many months to reach 8 nearby town, how much often- CT must this happen in times like these. For instance: An officer, while with his regiment in Surrey, Eng land, had occasion to demand a num- Der of marriage certificates. Having finished with them he placed each in an envelope, addressed them to their owners and gave them to his orderly to deliver by hand. The latter made the mistake of dropping them into a post box with the result that two of them were lost. A third went to In- dia. It was returned to England many months later and delivered to the adressee, whose abode is just fifty yards from the quarters of the officer who gave them to his orderly. It had gone 10000 miles to get next door. All of which reminds one of the diff faculties of correspondence between Yquitos and Lima, Peru. The two places are about four hundred miles apart. But between them stands the mighty wall of the Andes The quick est route for letter from Yquitos to Lima is as follows: 5000 miles down the Amazon, 5000 miles to Liverpool, 4,0oo miles to the Panama Canal and from thence few thousand miles down the coast of South America to Lima.

ALLIES ORDER HERE
 % WINGED WHALES

The British and French admiral ties have placed another huge order in Buffalo. This time it goes to the Curtiss Aeroplane Co. and calls for the immediate construction of 25 of the giant flying whales recently de- veloped by Glenn H. Curtiss. #
 The flying whale Sds a development of the Curtiss invention of the flying boat. Since then MT. Curtiss has made several changes in the design of the craft, and the present order of 25 IS toTbridge the gap between the old order and the completion of tests with the later model.
 The whale is used by Great Britain and France in submarine hunting, in coast patrol along the English chan
 Y1nel and the open seaports. It has a wing spread in excess of 90 feet; the boat body is more than 46 feet long and the whole craft, ready for flight with fuel and oil tanks loaded, weights nearly 2 1-2 tons. Machine guns, anti-aircraft guns and bombs can be carried. The pilots compart- ment is completely enclosed and has room for the easy movement of five
 or six men.
 Orders are expected soon on the
 first lot of the 100, ,000 airplanes which the aircraft production board of the
 United States decided should be Americas contribution to the war. In all the discussions there has been a
 repeated note of disparagement for the American planes The statement has been made frequently that none of the American planes had been use
 ful as a combat machine over the German trenches in France. This statement has been refuted by recent proof of at least 100 American made machines used in battle formation. Tt has been stated frequently that the foreign machines are faster, more sensitive to control than those made in the United States" Glenn H. Cur tiss said yesterday afternoon. "It is possible for our firm and for others in the United States to make flying machines for fighting purposes which 1 will exceed any. performance by those used in the French and the British armies.
 The fastest speed that has been claimed by the British and French en- gineers has, been 127 miles an hour. E Lately, I have developed combat machine which will fly 115 miles an
 hour. This is triplane with stream
 
 zine in it, it has sped through the air at the training grounds at the rate of l 125 miles an hour. Underway. we
 have a combat triplane of slightly different design which, under normal cohditions, should do 145 miles an hour.
 "The great difficulty we face in the United States is the lack of pilots for 1 high speed machines Before the air. l planes now being developed can be 1 used on the fighting lines in this eff l fort to blind the eyes of the German 1 forces, it will be necessary first to train flyers for the new combat planes. Engineers are working out that problem by devising rugged training types which will be miles i faster than the ones now used.
 Because of the. fact tfat the Cur l tiss JN has been. made the standard ] training machine of the British and ] the French armies, and in that field has supplanted all other types, the l impression has unfortunately obtain

ed that the American industry has not produced anything more than toy. That is not true. A training machine is operated by amateurs and it's construction and design must be of greater ruggedness than the combat planes. It must be designed for slow landings and, for resistance against break to which it is subject in the training leld.
 There are, therefore, probably more ref1nements in this type of ma chine than in the others where much must be sacrificed to speed of opera tion, although there are some who think that these training machines lack refinement of design and con- struetion. They are better made than the machines which sweep their wings over the battle clouds in aerial com5ats and which in 15 minutes may end their usefulness to the armies"

RIENZI, LAST OF
 THE TRIRUNES

2 E s 4 4
 Rienzi. last of the Tribunes of the struggles of the nobles of the Eternal City, seized the chief power and expelled them in an effort to re- store the ancient liberties of the city. Lawlessness and disorder, which had been the order of the day. disappear ed under his wise administration, which, unfortunately. was over thrown after an existence of but sev- en months by a counter r-revoiutton. Rienzi was the son of an innkeeper. Despite his humble birth he early displayed desire for learning. The history of his own Rome interested him above all else. Already in his time the Eternal City had passed the Zenith of it's power and Rienzi's dreams were of nothing but the re- storation of the glory of his native city. He was eloquent on the sub. ject, and his enthusiasm kindled the flame in others With saddened heart he looked upon the 1oings of the nob1es, those who were supposed to be Rome's leaders. And then one morning Rome woke up and found that Rienzi was king. He called him. self Tribune nut in reality was the absolute master of the External City. Stephen Colonna, mightiest of the proud nobles of Rome, was ab- sent when the revolt took place. Rienzi gave Rome an excellent ad- ministration and the city was once more on the way toward. occupying it's former proud position. But this glory was short lived. The nobility conspired against him and melted the Roman mob to tear it's del.verer from his throne. On Oct. 8, 1854 the mob marched to the attack. Rienz1 was sought out in his palace and laid low by a thrust with the dagger, going the way of the former Caesar.

PRINCESS IN MUFTT
 DELIGHTS WORKERS

London, June 2s.-Princess Mary, only daughter of the King, is dividing her time between her vege- table garden at Windsor Castle and visiting munition plants where she usually presfdes over the canteens The Princess likes to reach a muni- tions center unannounced and to de- light the factory girls by serving and passing out to their hot midday meal.
 When the munition workers at a certain factory hurried into their can teen for their dinner the other day they were surprised to find the Prin- cess standing beside a great urn, clad in large blue overall, ready to hand out food to them. Every girl was eager to purchase at, her hands and many returned to the counter for a superf1uous packet of chocolates or a bun, just for the sake of another smile from the Princess.

U. s. SENATOR BORAH

Idaho's contribution to. the list of eminent statesmen is Senator William Edgar Borah, and when it comes to eminence, he yields the palm to no one, excepting, of course, his wife. Like many other of our leading men Borah decided to leave his native hearth at an early age to- seek his fortune, confident that fame awaited him elsewhere. Well, he was right, there's no denying that. William Ed gar Borah was born at Fairfield, H., June 29, 1865. He was educated at the Southern Illinois Academy, at En- field and after graduating from that institution attended the University Of Kansas He found his first fortune in Idaho at Boise in the person of his wife, He was admitted to the bar in 1889 and practiced law a Lyons, Kans. In 1891 he decided to return to Boise, where he had found his first love- There great achievements rapidly advanced him in his career
 He entered politics and soon became known as fighter. He fought his way up the political ladder until 1903 when, after another hot fight, he was defeated for United States Senator from Idaho. The votes he received on that occasion demonstrate the ex- tent of the fight, for he received just twenty-two, when twenty-six were necessary for his election. However, that didn't perturb him and in 1907 he again made the fight this time being elected his term being from 1907 to 1913. He, was reelected when his term expired and will go on making things pleasant for some and unpleasant for others in the United States Senate until 1919 and maybe longer, if he is again re-elect- ed.

MERCHANT MARINE RULES LAY DOWN
 BARS 10 SHIPPERS
Many Hitherto Disqualified May Now Aspire to Places
 In New Fleet

Boston, June 29.-The U. s. Ship ping Boards recruiting service. na- tional headquarters for which are at the Boston Custom House. issued to- day a statement giving the minimum experience required of seafaring men who wish to enter any of the various grades for deck officers or engineers in the new Merchant Marine.
 This information is based on the revtzed rules of the Steamboat 1n- spection service. recently issued at Washington. These rules have been considerably modified to make ad- mission to the Merchant Marine ser vice easier for real sailors who hith- erto may not have had .opportunity to get licenses as officers.
 While intended primarily for the information of applicants for admis- sion to the free schools in navigation and engineering which the Shipping BoArd isl establishing in the coast and Grest Lakes states, the summary ot the now rules is of general interest to American sailors everywhere.
 Under them. for example, the mas ter of a fishing or coasting schooner Of two years' standing. now is quail fled to become a chief mate on one o1 the new cargo steamers being built for the Shipping Board. The modified rules also qualify the, master on 6 sound. bay or lake steamer, with g proper knowledge of navigation, as n chief mate on an ocean going steam. or.
 The rules thus let down the bars to many men who previously could not easily get into the Merchant Ma. rine service while guaranteeing that the men thus admitted shall be ex. perienced in their business.
 The Shipping Boaro will take 1T hand any applicant with proper ses experience and give him the necessar. free training navigation to qualif, him for his new position, at any one of it's schools.
 There are seven of these school : in New England. at Harvard ana Technology. New Bedford, Portland Rockland. Machias and Boothbay Harbor. A second chain of the school. embraces Greenport. L. l., Atlantic City, Cape May and Crisfield, Md. Philadelphia, Baltimore and Norfolk Jacksonville, Mobile. New Orleans and Galveston. and a fourth Los An geles, San Francisco. and Portland Ore. Schools will~be estahlished 1atel at points on the Great Lakes.
 The engineering schools whicl open July 2. are, to be at Institute O Technology. Cambridge. where 15t men a month can be handled in l. class: Stevens Institute. Hoboken, N { D., Johns Hopkins University, Balti. more. the Case School of Applied Sci ence. Cleveland, the Armour Insti. tute, Chicago.

THOMAS DUNN ENGLISH,
 AUTHOR OF BEEN BOLT,

In the middle of the nineteenth century Sweet Alice Ben Bolt held the hearts of millions of English speaking people. This widely known ballad first appeared in 1s43 in the New York Mirror, then edited by Nathan iel F. Willis. As a poem it is ex- tremely crude, and was regarded so by it's author. The plaintiYe and melodious air. however. written for it by Nelson Kneass, gave to the words a setting that accounts for the en- during favor which the simple ballad has enjoyed both in England and the United States. Readers of Du Maur- ier's famous novel, s'Trilby," will re- member the effective way in which the song is introduced in that story. When the vogue of .Trilby' revived an interest in 'Ben Bolt," most Eng lishmen supposed the ballad to have been of British origin, and such was the belief of Du Maurier himself Thomas Dunn English, the author. was born Jun 29, 1919. in Philadl- philadelphia. He practiced medicine for some time and then studied law, which led him into politics. He was a member of the New Jersey legisla-l ture during the Civil War and sub-. sequentIy served two terms in the Ma tional House of Representatives. his life he was active as a writer and editor, but. Ben Bolt, is his most famous production. He died in 1902.
