Tag Day
Saturday
For Benefit of Michigan Child
Welfare League.

A Heart Tag Day will be conducted
iu1sast Jordan on Saturday, July 2Sth
for the benefit of the Michigan Child
Welfare League. The business OF the
League is to help crippled and physi-
cally defective children.
. The Michigan Child Welfare League
seeks out the crippled and otherwise
physically defective children whose
parents are unable to have them treated
takes them to the hospitals where there
are competent orthopedic surgeons
who give them every attention needed,
and when they are benefited to the
fullest extent, returns them to their
parents.
The special object for which the
Michigan Child Welfare League is
formed is as follows: "To secure for
the physically defective children such
treatment as special medical and surgi-
cal science indicates and extend other
needed help"
The work is non-sectarian and sup
ported by the free-will gifts of the peo-
pie entirely. The larger and more
numerous the gifts the greater number
OF children that can be benefited. Your
gift will be most heartily appreciated.

VICTORY IN THE AIR
Ten Thousand Planes Would De-
moraIize German Army.
AIRSHIPS EYES OF TROOPS.
Americans Make Best Aviators In
World-Command Of Air Means Best
Defense Yet Found Against Subma-
rines-United States Has Big Chance
to Win War.

Washington. "A Aeroplanes are the
eyes Of an army. Without aeroplanes
the guns cannot see where to fire, the
soldiers where to go. Without aero
planes the enemies forces and the dis
tribution thereof, their reserves and
their supplies, their lines of communi-
cation and their railroads are alike
unknown. Consequently, without aero
planes our troops will fight in dark
ness, as blind men would fight. They
will be killed In darkness, as blind men
would be killed, says Porter Emerson
Browne of the Vigilantes.
1t is no more fair to ask soldiers to
go out and fight without aeroplanes
than it would be to send them out
without guns, or ammunition, or food,
or shoes, or hospitals. or surgeons.
Aeroplanes have become perhaps the
most important part of the equipment
Of an army today. This France and
England and Germany alike have rec
ognized IL the United States should
fail to recognize this, it will pay dear
ly In men, in blood and in defeat for
Its ignorance and its obstinacy.
And this Is not all. AS aeroplanes
are the eyes OF an army, SO are they
becoming, with every tick Of the clock,
to mean more.
England may still control the seas.
But for this control Germany is max
ing her and all her allies pay bitter
price. Like 1t or like 1t not, we must
admit that so far the German subma-
rine in its sphere is supreme. Checked
it can be, but it cannot as yet be
scotched.
On land armies can be locked for
months, even for years. A stunning
preponderance of heavy artillery may
mean mile or so advance. But every
mile of such advance means months Of
preparation and the careful boarding
of munitions.
On one frontier, and one frontier
alone, is Germany unprotected, open
and vulnerable That is the air
And it is to this frontier that the
United States, struggling into war un
ready and unequipped, should turn its
face.
For, as scouting aeroplanes have be-
come the eyes of an army, SO have
bombing and machine gun planes
grown TO be the weapons with which
it can reach foe protected by de-
fenses on land and sea. The air alone
is the unguarded element. And 1t will
not be unguarded long.
Soldiers and guns and supplies will
be long In reaching our allies. But
aeroplanes and aviators we can send
them, and swiftly, and Americans
make the best aviators In the world.
1t is possible and more than posi-
bic that victory on land and sea lies
with victory IN the air The command
Of the air means that we see while
the Germans become blind. 1t means
the best defense yet found against the
depredations of the submarines. And,
developed to its possible limits, 1t
means great, new weapon that lies
to our hands ready to use Ten thou
sand aeroplanes, properly manned and
equipped, would insure the utter de-
moralization of the Germans on the
western front
