Will not be until July, perhaps
around July 9 for Is days. The
call will hardly be for less than
70 days, as several war subjects

We Can Whip Germany BY
Using Airships.

Washington, June 15.-"Put
the Yankee punch into the war;
is the way Brig. Gen. Squier,
who directs the aviation service,
expressed it today in discussing
the great airplane programme
which, il passed by Congress,
will involve appropriation of
something like $500, 100000 in the
beginning.
By "Yankee punch' Gen.
Squier means "a characterlstlcal-
ly American way Of working to
get big results
"Airplanes," said Gen. Squier,
''are the logical fighting ma
chimes for Americans, because
we are an imaginative people, and
when our Imagination strikes fire
nothing can stop u.s.
The game ideally snits he
American temperament, and
every young American worthy Of
the name should be keen to join
our flying army.
AN army in the air, regiments
and brigades of winged cavalry,
mounted on gas.griven flying
horses, could blind the eyes of
Germany until her gunners, ab-
solutely deprived of range find
ers, would be put out of business
by the allied artillery. The mag
nificently obvious thing is to
knock out Germany's eyes by a
thrust through the air. But my
idea would be something vastly
larger than thrust. An inunda'
ton Of airplanes would better ex'
press the idea in its magnitude
"Sweep the Germans from the
sky, blind the Prussian cannon.
and the time would be ripe to re-
lease an enormous flock of flying
fighters to raid and destroy mill
tary camps, ammunition depots
and military establishments of al
kinds. The firing upon troops
by machine guns from airplanes
is becoming commoner and more
accurate. Once given an upper
hand the flying machine becomes
a frightful engine of destruction.
While Gen Squier admits thai

regards it as a ''positive bargain

We have the major burden of

More Promises.

When Germany declared ruin
less submarine warfare, she
tried to ease the conscience Of
her people by telling them that it
was the surest and quickest way
to stop the horrors of the war
and bring them peace.
In three months, on June /,
England was to be starved into
submission to any terms which
Germany might be willing to Of
| fer.
But June 1 has passed, the
hunger pinch in Germany is Sc
verer than it is in England and
British troops have since struck
smashing blows at the German
lines in France.
Conditions have not bettered in
Germany. They have grown
more and more acute and the
disappointment over Russia's re-
fusal to enter into a separate
peace, coupled with the growing
evidence that the United States
participation in the struggle is to
be actual and not nominal, re-
quires d renewal Of the assuran .
ces to the German masses that if
they hold on little longer all
will end we'll.
Along this line Herr Won Hey.
debrand, conservative leader in
tina Reichstag, quotes to the Ger.
man people the guarantee Of g
German admiral "that in two
months at the most conditions o1
the English will be such that
Great Britain will be finished" "
He quotes this guarantee to con-
found "doubters and lukewarn

German masses"

Chamberlain's Tablets

Chamberlain Tablets are intended
especially for stomach troubles, bilious
ness and constipation, and have met
with much success in the treatment OF
those diseases. People who have suf-
fered for years with stomach trouble
and have been unable to obtain any
permanent relief, have been complete
iv cured by the use of these tablets.
Chamberlain's Tablets are also Of great
value for biliousness. Chronic consti-
patton may be permanently cured by
taking Chamberlain's Tablets and OBJ
serving the plain printed directions

DIR. H. o. Caswell was. taken to Mil
waukee Tuesday morning for an opera
ton on his throat at Milwaukee hos
pital for infected tonsils. Mrs. Cas-
well, DR.. Weld and A. 7. Haumerson
accompanied him. DR.. Caswell's many
friends hope for his speedy recovery.
Last Monday afternoon Geo. Schneie
der and Charles Mohrman bought six
dozen fresh eggs at Vickery's grocery,
Jumped into their Hudson automobile
and, forgetting all about the scarcity
of hen fruit and the high cost of living,
drove about the business section on
South Main street, throwing the eggs
out against the buildings for what they
considered ''some Joke" Their ap-
pearance before Justice Hibbard was
natural consequence. They were given
membership cards to the city's roll of
"Disorderly Conduct" and were cash
customers to the extent of S17.95 each,
including costs.
Ninety years ago Tuesday, Hon. L.
B. Caswell, of 302 N. Main st. first saw
the light of day. 1t was at Swanton,
Vermont, that this event occurred, In
the year 1927. In 1886 he left Vermont
with his parents and came to Wiscon-
sin, making most of the trip with
wagon and horses. He came to Fort
Atkinson in 1852 and began the prac-
tice of law and is still in the harness.
Many called Mr.. Caswell up during the
day to congratulate him on the passage
of the ninetieth milestone of his life.
He is in exceptionally good health and
gives evidence of being good for ten
more years, anyway, and perhaps ten
more on top of that.
