Fokker's views of the future of avia-
ton were recently published in the
Vossische Zeitung in the form of an
interview. This constructor and in
ventor of the famous fighting machine
which bears his nam said, in part:
Passenger traffic on flying machines
will assume great Importance after
the war. Flying machines will have
preference because they are the
speediest means of travelling great
distances. 1t is my belief that they
will become the most successful ri
walls of American liners, being able to
fly across the ocean within a day and
a half or two days. Immediately after
the war the first flight to America will
be attempted. Five years after the
war the service will have reached such
q state of perfection that it will seem
the most natural thing in the world"

An Incident Of The Landing OF Our
Marines i'm Vera Cruz.

Uncle Sans marines know how to
handle rifle; so per cent. of the force
are qualified listed shots. There is a
story about the occupation of Vera
Cruz that tells of good shooting and
sure eye. Our bluejacketS were march
ing up the street from the Plaza be-
tween rows of low two story houses.
A we'll dressed Mexican gentleman,
with a newspaper over his knee, was
sitting on the balcony of his house,
apparently intent on watching our
sailors advance, but hidden under the
paper he held a big revolver, and as
our men went by he fired. The bullets
were striking, but our officers could
hardly suspect a we'll dressed MeXi-
can, reading a paper and looking
peacefully on from his own house, of
being the sniper.
Dropping his paper, the Mexican
went inside to reload. When he came
out again on the balcony the CLINT OF
| the gun caught the attention OF Lieu
tenant Colonel Neville on horseback
i'm the Plaza, a thousand or more yards
away. Through his eight power field
glass the colonel saw plainly the flash
of the shots under the newspaper.
Get him." he said, turning to his
orderly.
The man raised his rifle, pressed the
trigger and the Mexican fell out o.
his chair. - Henry Reuterdahl IL

EXPECT GOOD RESPONSE FROM
FARMERS IN LOAN CAMPAIGN.

In the First Liberty Loan campaign
many OF the farmers Of the country
were not reached, and subscriptions
from the rural committees were few.
There were several reasons for this,
the foremost of which was that the
Loan was put out in the spring, when
they were busy with their crops, and
it was difficult for the canvassers to
interview them Then too, they had
to borrow money for their planting.
Now their crops are Inland at the pres
ent high price of food StuffS, they
should have a large sum OF money in
their hands For a loan of portion
of that money, the Liberty Bond cam
paigners are now appealing all over
the country The various farm
bureaus and societies are co-operat-
ing and good results are expected.
Albert r. Mann, Dean of the New
York College of Agriculture, is one Of
those who have been active in this
work. Speaking of the Loan and the
farmers share in vt, he said today:
when liberty came to America, the
farmer helped to bring it. He bore
the gun, he contributed unsparingly
OF his substance. he led the armies.
In the present struggle for universal
liberty. | am sure that he will do no
less. He has already made splendid
response to the demand for greater
food production. | look with conf
dence on his generous contribution to
the Liberty Loan. The first Loan
largely overlooked the farmer; the
efforts were concentrated in the
cities. The second campaign should
give every opportunity for farm
ers as individuals and in their
organizations to support the Govern
ment in its financial program. 1t is
the highest expression OF American
ism that all the people should help
carry the common load in this critical
hour"

HELPING The Cause.

"a drummer" said Medill McCor-
mick, was waiting at Nola Chucky
for the Southern Cannonball Limited
The train crawled in at last, nine
hours late-a ramshackle, Gathering
thing, as ridiculous as an old-fashion-
ed high-Wheeled bicycle.
THE drummer got aboard. There
seemed to be only one other passen-
ger The locomotive hooted, the bell
changed, the wheels spun around, and
steam Kissed, but the train failed to
move. Then there were more boots,
more puffs and Kisses, and still the
train didn't bulge. Finally, after a
third vain effort, the engineer got
down and shouted to the passengers,
whose heads stuck anXiously out of
their respective windows:

WOMEN AS SOLDIERS.

1T was recently reported that 1900
women of Texas and Oklahoma, most
l. wives of soldiers, had volunteered to
form regiment which, if necessary,
would fight in the trenches. Their sug
gestion was, however, that they might
he more useful behind the lines in sig
nal and patrol work. This fine man
Hesitation Of patriotism was no doubt
prompted by the superb heroism of
the Russian female "BattaliOnS of
Death"
Women are fast developing more
physical strength and many Of them
would put men fighters to flight. In
the early days following the discov-
cry of the American continent there
were many tribes with women
amazon" fighters. The explorers
were afraid of them, as they fought
with tremendous tenacity and fear
lessness of death.
Also the day has gone by when you
can set any particular limit to the
things women should do They will
make their own limit. They are
entering lines Of work formerly clos
ed, and in a few years will be all
through our factories.
But this does not mean that it would
be wise to let regiment of them 60
into the front line trenches. Such a
use of their devotion would be accept
ed as sign of weakness by our foes
They would say that our men refused
to fight, therefore the women had to-
as was the case in Russia.
Fortunately our men are no slack
ers. They still claim fighting as their
business, and they will attend to that
end of it. They would not willingly
expose women to the special perils
arising from their sex. There are
however multitude of tasks behinC
the firing lines that women can per
form. and thousands are doing thes'
things now. Volunteer effort has it
own unique quality and enthusiasm
IL women feel like enlisting and form
ing groups for war service there ar
plenty of tasks they could very wei
assume.

THE TIN CAN PROBLEM.

1t is surprising how, when you try
to speed up industrial activity, one
defeat after another shows itself in
the system of organization. 1t is
about like mending pair of old shoes.
If you repair the sole then the heel
gives out. Next the upper cracks, and
by the time that has been patched the
stitching falls apart.
But wonders can be accomplished
with our American capacity for ad-
justment One of the minor defects
in our organization for war is now the
shortage of tin for canning purposes.
There is a nationwide campaign to
popularize the use of paper, fiber and
other containers. With the govern
ment food organization mobilizing
women and children for canning food
products, a largely increased food
supply in this form should be avail
able But if tin is going to be scarce,
the canned produce will fall short
for lack of hitherto despised ma
terial.
The tin can has been regarded as
about the lowest form of value. In
the popular mind it is the constituent
of dump heaps, something bad boys
attach to the tails of homeless dogs
and cats, and the legendary food of
the goat Many house built on fill
ed-in land really rests on a subsoil of
tin cans. A back yard filled with them
represents about the abomination of
desolation, and it is hard to realize
that this represents material of vital
value.
You begin to realize it when at the
garage they will sell you
a given quantity of oil for 20 cents, if
you bring your own can, but if you
expect the product to be put in a con-
tainer they will ask 80 cents. So far
there has been no tin saving cam
paign, but we may have to come to it.
the public is reminded that
every time it buys a double quantity
of anything in a single container it
gets a lower price on its product and
helps save a valuable and scarce ma
terial

WILL NOT SEIZE HOME FOODS.

There has come from several sec
tiOns of the State news of a rumor
especially among the colored people
to the effect that the Government is
planning to seize their food stuffs
particularly the canned goods, fol
army use. 1t is needless to say that
full CredenCe to such a rumor would
cause many people to stop their can.
ming operations with a resultant loss
and wastage of much valuable food
But there is no need for anyone tC
fear, much less believe that the Gov
eminent cOntemplates such action. In
statement just issued, the falsity of
these reports is shown. 1t says,
There is no truth in a widely cir
culated statement that the Govern
ment expects to take food supplies
from any family. Both the Food
Administration and the Department of
Agriculture join in a statement to
counteract what seems to be a de-
liberate propaganda to the effect that
the Government intends to take from
every family all canned goods put up
in excess of 100 quarts.
This is only one of the variations
OF the rumOr. Another statement is
that the Government has been urging
the canning, drying and preserving
of fruits and vegetables so that they
will be in convenient form for the
Government to handle when it takes
them away from the people. Further
elaboration is that these goods will
be taken from American homes and
shipped to England
The authorities state emphatically
that no such course has ever been
contemplated by the Government. On
the contrary, both the Department of
Agriculture and the Food Admins
tratiOn are strongly urging house
wives to can and preserve, especially
at this time, all surplus fruits and
vegetables, in order that the house
hold themselves may have a cheap
and plentiful supply of food"
To those who have been led to be-
lieve these false reports, such a
statement should suffice in explaining
that it is for the good of the whole
household and the people of the en-
tire country that canning driving and
preserving has been urged; and not
for the purpose of providing the Gov
eminent with these articles. In some
localities Supply Bases" and common
pooling of canned goods for army use
has taken place, but these are patri-
otto moves on the part of the people
of such localities, and not due tc
coercive measures by the Government
Let everyone can all they can can
as long as the season lasts.
