OUR SOLDIERS ON LEAVE.

when our men 60 to France we must
not only prepare to take care of them
when sick and wounded; another very
serious problem will confront them and
will confront us in our care and fore
thought on their behalf" says Henry P.
Dawson, chairman of the Red Cross war
committee.
"Englishmen and Frenchmen, when
from time to time they are relieved from
their grim duties in the trenches, 60
home. The soldiers from other countries
on the firing line cannot 60 home; there
is no home to 60 to! They 60 to Paris
Many of them do not return from Paris
as efficient soldiers as they were when
they went there.
"Our American soldiers must have a
home in France-somewhere to rest,
somewhere to find friendly atmosphere,
somewhere to 60 for recreation and whole
some amusement.
These men will be returning to this
country some day. We want to make it
certain that as many as possible return in
health and strength and not afflicted with
disease from which our forethought might
have protected them. ''The Red Cross
husband it alone can-become a real
foster parent to our soldiers while they
are in Europe"

TALKING MACHINE NOW MADE
PERFECT, MR.. EDISON STATES.
His Cryptic Word to 500 Dealers at
Orange.

''A1l Rebelious Elements Under Control
His Cryptic Word to 500 Dealers at
Orange.
Thomas A. Edison interrupted his eff
fort to find a device to destroy the sub
marine menace long enough recently to
make an unexpected announcement that
he had subjugated all of the rebellious
elements that had been encountered in
his perfection of talking machines and
the records reproducing the human voice.
MIR. Edison's announcement was OF the
bare fact that call of the rebellious ele-
ments are under control" and he re-
fused subsequently to elaborate upon the
cryptic statement. 1t was read for him
while he stood, surrounded by detect
i've guard, inside the inclosed Edison
plant at Orange, N. j., greeting 500 dele
gates of the Edison Dealers Convention,
who had gone from New York to see the
inventor because he had forgotten" his
engagement to come here to attend their
banquet the night before.
They told me you had a good con-
vention," one of Mr.. Edison's aids read,
as the inventor stood smilingly beside
him. There will be good many more
conventions, but l expect you boys will
always remember this one because it
happens to be contemporaneous with the
time when we removed the last ink
from the record. We now have all the
rebellious elements under control"
The detective guard that surrounded
Mr.. Edison is present now on every occa-
sion when he appears in public. The
convention delegates made the trip to
Orange on board special train, and the
train carried many detectives to make
certain that Prussian spies did not util-
ize that means to get into the Edison
plant.
So busy was the inventor in his labora-
tory that he spent less than half an hour
with the 500 persons who made the jour-
ney especially to see him, delegating his
aids to show the visitors over the plant.
He returned to his laboratory and spent
the rest of the day and most of the night
working. He and his employees refused
to discuss in any way the progress he has
made in his effort to find means to de-
stroy submarines.

OUR LOYAL WOMEN.

These are days when we may well be
proud of our American girls and women
The fields of France for countless miles
are this moment being cultivated by the
French women with never man to as
sist. That American women would as
promptly, resolutely and effectively take
up the same burCel, did the same neces-
slty exist here, there is not the slightest
doubt. The voice of the scoffer at the
suffragette is hushed in admiration at
what the women are doing in the de-
mandS of the moment. In crowded
cities and by the isolated farm side the
American girl and woman without re-
gard to wealth or social distinction is
employing every spare moment in Red
Cross work. Without any brass bands
to call crowd they flocked to the train
ing places to learn and to do, nor has
their interest and enthusiasm waned; on
the contrary it has steadily grown.
The subscription to the Liberty Loan
afforded another opportunity to show of
what stuff the patriotism of the Ameri-
can woman is made, In countless shops,
stores, factories and Offices, girls receiv-
ing only few dollars per week, and too
often responsible for the support of wild
owed mothers and younger brothers and
sisters, loyalty made their subscription
for bond, when to do so meant actual
sacrifice and even privation for so weeks.
But no one hears them complain of this,
and their only expressed regret is their
inability to take larger amount
These are days when the American
man and boy has greater occasion than
any time in the past half century to
revere, love and honor his mother, sister
and sweetheart. Mechanics.

OBITUARY..

Laura j., widow of Alvin M. Elliott,
and daughter of the late Freeman and
Desire Nilburn) Dean, died April Gath af-
ter long and painful Illness. She was
born in Winterport in 1888, where she
resided for many years, and it was here
she became useful member of the
Methodist church. She was consistent
christian, faithful wife and a devoted
mother. Of amiable disposition and
charitable toward all, she was held in
high esteem by all who knew her. She
was the last of family of eight chill
dren, and is survived by two daughters,
Mrs. David Elliott, with whom she lived,
and Mrs. Lottie E. Pendleton, and by two
stepsons, Frank and Dana Elliott. Flu
neral services were held at her late home
in Monroe by Rev. Frank Dolliff, who
spoke words of comfort to the bereaved.
Beautiful floral offerings spoke of the
esteem of mourning friends and neigh
bors. Interment was made in Evergreen
cemetery, North Searsport, by the side
of her first husband, Mason R. Pendle-
ton, who died many years ago.

One would naturally expect, on joi,

One would naturally expect, on joining
the flying division, to board plane and
ioyride skyward with an inexperienced pilot,
then 60 through the motions with the va
rious controls and levers in dummy ma
chine on earth; few days later 60 up
again with teacher; and the next to fly
with the instructor as passenger. But
not SO fast, son, Notwithstanding your
ambition to distinguish yourself is nlo. t
noble and praiseworthy. Remember, the
qualifications for the air corps include
not only all the physical conditions of
both Army and Navy, but great many
more. The candidate must be sound in
every part of his body; possess internal
organs equal to the rapid change in alti-
tude, for he will often drop mile in a
minute; perfect vision, which will in
stantly and unfailingly adjust itself one
instant to objects far away and the next
to those close by; and he must have no
failing as to colors; his hearing must be
faultleSS; he must possess a mental bal
ance which will remain true and undis-
turbed when shells from the air guns are
bursting uncomfortably close by; and,
finally, that ficult-to-describe natural
gift which turns his face toward his own
lines instead of the enemies, when clouds
or smoke blot out all landmarks 1t is
the same kind of intuitive quality which
in a newspaper man is termed "a nose for
news" and which leads the skillful ply
sician to correctly diagnose a patient
when the usual symptoms are absent, or
the navigator to head his vessel into port
when fog shuts him in and the tide
swerves him from his course.
The responsibility attached to the avia-
ton corps is almost beyond estimate, and
the ability of a single air scout to discern
and comprehend, or failure to do so, may
easily win or lose a battle. His sig
nails bring the artillery into action drop
ping shells in the right place and correct
the fire of those guns whose faulty range
is throwing away tons of proiectiles each
minute. The airman is more than the
familiar term, ''the eye of the army
he must be thinking eye. The subma-
rine may even better do without it's peris-
cope than the army without it's aero
plane.
Thus it will be seen that, setting aside
all the other numerous and radical
changes which the present war has called
into being, the submarine for the sea
forces and the aeroplane for the land
forces are the two weapons which stand
out pre-eminent; and of the two, the
aeroplane is the more essential. A ser
vice so thrilling, so responsible, SO posi-
BILE, of great accomplishment, cannot fail
to appeal to the best there is in the young
American; and while all service at the
front is fraught with danger, it will COM
fort the airmen's mother to know that,
contrary to generally accepted belief,
service in the air fleet is several degrees
removed from the most dangerous mill
tary occupations.
Our ability to win this war will lie
largely in two efforts, to defeat the sub
marine, and to produce at the earliest
possible moment a fleet of aeroplanes
which shall be numbered by tens of thou
sands. H. Windsor, in Popular Science
Magazine.
