AvIAT0RS GIVEN HARD TEST
Filters In the Service Of France Must
Measure UP to strictest OF
Requirements.

/ The acceptance as aviators In the
French service Of so many sons OF
wealthy American families proves that
these young men are far from being
the "fanneled fools and muddled OATS
whom Kipllng once rallied against on
the other side of the water. The phys
ical and mental requirements OF the
J French service, in the case of aviators,
are Of the severest sort. They are
now being tested not only for strength
and ordinary intelligence. but are re-
quired to demonstrate the qulckness
of their response to visual, audi
tory and tactual impression, their
"psychometric reactions;" that Is to
say, they are required 10 prove that to
anything that is suddenly seen, or
heard, or felt, their minds react ac-
curately within space of time that
figures itself down to hundredths Of
second. Without this quickness Of per-
ception and of action upon perception,
in addition to iron courage and endur-
ance the war aviator Is Of little use.
The apparatus of the French service
even tests the candidates sang froid
by recording his heart-beats, his color,
his movement or absence of movement,
under the stress Of surprise pistol
shot fired at the back Of his neck.
Then, supposlng that his "psychometric
reactions" are all right, the man must
have good knowledge Of the rules of
war, of geography, Of meteorology,
and other things besides. And finally
he must be willing to subject himself,
as corporal or sergeant. to an army
discipline much severer than anything
he has ever known before. 1t is fair
to assume that the successful Ameri-
can candidate for this service has
proved his possession Of the real stuff
Of manhood.

COMMUNICATION

March 25.-Editor Republican.
The Lord giveth and the Lord take
tn, but the frost taketh all my first
crop of lucern last year and the
weavel took most of the second crop
and the cold dry summer and grass
hoppers finished my pastures and
what little grain l raised went to
feed those hungry Office holders and
appropriations. But the God of
nature saved patch of bull-rushes
and slough grass for my stock which
cut and stacked for them. But I run
short of feed, so the God of intellig-
ence taught me to cut down lot of
trees at my farm and let my horses
and cattle broust on the limbs and
bark which is all right, but this was
not enough SO l hauled the trees to
my mill and sawed them into lum-
Der and hauled the sawdust back
and fed 1t to my horses and cattle, l
mixed 1t as follows: A single wagon
box full Of sawdust and four sacks
of rolled grain or bran and shorts in
the box OF sawdust. Then / sprink-
led several buckets of syrup, half
water over II to dampen 1t, then mix
1t all up with scoop and drive my
team round in a circle and pile It
out on the snow. You ought to
see the animals eat 1t up. give
them a little straw saturated with
syrup and water and my stock are
doing fine. This Is how I have been
feeding them for over two weeks. In
Guiding my milk cows and work

lumber into shavings while II is green
and soft and feed the shavings. as
they are more soft. The college is

plans for a substitute for hay which

sawdust for sale as II is too valuable

CARTOONIST'S RISE TO FAME
Louis Raemekers Probably the Best
Known Of Artists Who Teach
With the Pen.

Hidden away in an obscure studio
in a London suburb, with price upon
his head Offered by Germany Louis
Raemekers has made the whole world
shudder with his cartoons of the great
war.
A year and half ago he was an I'M
known Dutch landscape artist. To-
day he is acclaimed the greatest mas
ter Of pen and pencil Of the age; he
has been feted by royalty, sought by
German spies and charged with endan-
gering Dutch neutrality. BY the usu-
ally reserved and frequently skeptical
Englishman he Is frankly idollzed !;
and all because he has pictured Ger
man "kulture" and its dire effects.
His cartoons are now the rage Of
the hour in New York, where IN exhib-
1t Of originals is being given for the
benefit of the French Red Cross.
Louis Raemekers was born in Hol-
land Of Dutch father and u German
mother. When quite young he studied
painting and drawing in Holland and
Brussels, and before the war began
he had established local reputation
as landscape and portrait painter.
Some years ago he married Dutch
woman. and 1t is now said by those
who know him that he has no inter-
est outside his home, which includes
three rudy children, except to go on
with his work. The strong religious
tendency which so often characterizes
his work has brought forth the ques-
ton Of what church the artist attends.
His reply is that he belongs to none,
but was brought up Catholic and his
wife Protestant, and the differences
which In later life severed both from
their early teaching caused them to
meet on common ground.
