swiftest European machines.
Now that the Government has pro-
vided a large initial appropriation for
22,625 aircraft, which will probably be
increased to n billion or more as ma
chimes are needed, vast field is open
ing for aircraft manufacturing. Even
tually the best brains in the country
will be turned in this direction, with
the result of increasing the quality
and quantity of the output.
The cost of airplanes, it may be
added, ranges from So to 5000
each. and it was stated in the discus
sion of the aircraft appropriation bill
in the House of Representatives that
some of the large European war
planes cost as much as $4,000 each.
Airplane motors range from $4,000 to
$4,000 each. When airplanes are or
dered by the thousand these costs may
perhaps be reduced, but in any event
the profits are likely to be large.
Bearing these facts in mind, the flu
ture of legitimate aircraft companies
seems to be remarkably bright.-Wil-

KANSAS CORN RECOVERING
FROM EFFECTS OF DROUGHT

Washington, Aug. %. - Reports to
the Weather Bureau Indicate that
most of the record corn crop
will be past the point where frost can
damage it at the average date of the
first killing frost, in spite of the fact
that the crop is from ten to fifteen,
and in places even twenty days later
than the average at this season OF the
year in central and northern districts.
In Kansas, where the last forecast
dicated the production would be only
half that indicated a month previous

effect of the previous drought to a

NO PEACE YET.

OF this much we are certain. DR..
Won Bethmann-H ollweg has resigned
as Chancellor of the Imperial Ger
man Government and his place has
been taken by DR.. Georg Michaelis
who is hailed as the first "vonless"
chancellor the empire has ever
known. Outside of that there is
little known of internal conditions
in Germany save that spirit of un-
rest is manifested in certain quarters.
Whether this untried man, Michaelis,
will come up to the mark remains to
be seen. 1t is apparent that the duty
of the chancellor from now on will
be to formulate, or help formulate,
terms Of peace.
The first step in this direction has
been made The controlling parties
in the Reichstag have gotten together
and hauled out of the cupboard the
peace resolution based on the Ger
man kaiser's declara ton Of purposes
at the outset of the war in 1914. At
that time Emperor Wilhelm asserted
that Germany was driven to war by
no lust Of conquest Germany took
up arms for the defense of it's liberty
and independence and for the integ-
rity of it's territories. The Reichstag
now re-affirms this declaration and
further adds that it labors for peace
and a mutual understanding and last
ing reconciliation among the nations.

The journal des Debats' says edi-
torially: 'The importance of the
change does not consist in the substi-
tuition of persons, but in the cause
which made it impossible to retain the
retiring Chancellor. In letting Won
Bethmann-Hollweg go the Kaiser dis
credits himself confessing thereby that
he was mistaken in provoking the
war. He has been unable to direct it,
and is driven toward peace without
profit, without glory. The imperial
policy has reached bankruptcy: it
must be liquidated.'

Before you see the road at all,
When deep within your heart there

The answering thrill to flags and
