CycIist In Spectacular Feat.

An army motOrcyclist at one of the
training camps recently averted the
death of young lieutenant by most
extraordinary feat of heroism, says
Popular Mechanics Magazine. Racing
at high speed across rough ground, he
drove his machine into runaway
parachute that was dragging the Off
Ger to his death. The latter had made
practice parachute jump Of 1000
feet from an observation balloon. A
high wind had carried him a consider
able distance, and In landing he be-
came hopelessly entangled In the cord
age. The parachute was caught by a
strong air current and blown at terrific
speed acress the field, pulling It's help
less prisoner with it. At the same in
slant the cyclist, passing along a near
by motor road, saw the officers plight.
He swerved his machine into the field
and raced at top speed squarely into
the middle Of the bellied parachute.
The ropes fouled the machine and the
weight Of the latter anchored the dere-
lict against further movement.

FLED FROM ARMORED CARS
Bedouins in Wild Confusion When

of thanks" in Desert,

The appearance of armored cars ia
the desert struck terror in Senussi
hearts, and the whole country was soon
covered with men and camelS trek
king off to the southwest. On getting
through the camp the cars went on in
dependently shooting all loaded camels
and men within reach. Two of these
camels carried mixed loads of petrol
and high explosive shell. The per-
forated petrol cans caught fire, and the
shells exploded, which made the camp
followers fall on their knees, beat the
ground with their foreheads, and call
on Allah's aid.
"The Turkish gunners stuck to their
guns like good men. When we passed
them without killing them they turned
round and continued firing at us, so
that we had to go back and finish
Them" one of the officers told me. The
cars collected three mountain guns and
nine machine guns with a quarter mil
lion rounds of small-arm ammunition
and several boxes of shell. Two of
the cars stood by all night to protect
the captures, and the remainder re-
traced their tracks to Sollum, to find
our infantry in occupation. The Sc
nussl did not venture on Aziza again.

TRAVEL ACCORDING TO MAP
Airmen on Night Raids Have Course
r Thoroughly Mapped Out Before
Beginning Their Journey.

Before leaving on a long-distance
night raid the airmen prepare their
maps with great care, marking on
them the detailed course from the air.
drome to their objective. a
BY means of small balloon, whose
speed direction and height is recorded
by an instrument on the ground the
force and direction of the wind at diff
ferent attitudes is discovered, and the
compass course, allowing for wind
drift, is marked beside the course on
the map. The compass course for the
return journey is also marked. The
speed of the machine Is calculated, and
on the line of the course series Of
points is marked, showing where the
machine should be every ten minutes,
thus enabling the airman to check his,
progress and to know his approximate
position If he gets lost.
He watches the country below for
landmarks. He sees by his map that
river should appear in a few min
utes. His watch shows that he has
been flying 40 minutes, and near the
45-mnute mark on his map is twist
ed pale blue line. He looks ahead
and sees in the moonlight silver
streak and he knows he is making good
time. When he is over the river he
compares its outline with his map,
and sees that he is crossing 1t at the
right place.

Prisoners of Duty.

The Turkish government is shortly
to effect an exchange of 1000 British
prisoners, but there will be still many
left over there, and naturally they will
need doctors. Under the Berne agree
ment Of December last it is arranged
that one British doctor and five of
the medical personnel Of the ranks
should be detained for every 1000
prisoners. No inspection of prison
camps under the Berne agreement has
vet been made, but it is very probable
that conditions there may necessitate
rore doctors being detained. There
are some things in warfare which are
harder than actual fighting, and to
stay behind in a prison camp tending
wounded and nostalgia men when
others joyfully set sail for home or
active service requires all the unset
fish devotion to duty with which doc
tors are credited by the laity.

suddenly the new conditions opened
up sources of food supply in Austria
liza, East India, Java, and South Amer
lea. In addition to this, hugh crop
of wheat in United States is piling up
at ports and warehouses. Let us thank
God for it.
At this point a situation has devel-
oped that, for at least few months,
makes it possible to get Immediately,
the huge quantities of food commodi
ties required in Europe. We are
therefore permitted to use without re-
strictions food supplies heretofore
restricted.
The Food Administration is glad to
take the public into it's confidence. 1t
promptly makes one of those quick adj
justments and states most emphatical-
ly that when shipping facilities are
provided and more food is needed for
export that it may be necessary to
again suddenly place restrictions on
some articles Of food. If the food Adj
ministration calls upon the people to
do this, it has the utmost confidence
that food conservation, which saved
our cause from actual defeat more
than once, will then lead to heights Of
devotion and unselfshness, so that
the hungry and destitute may be cared
for, and the world saved from Bolshe-
vism. Anarchy is bred fastest where
hunger-mad populations follow quack
leaders to far worse conditions.
We have had a "War Conscience"
We must now get a "WorId Con-
science"-to save and save food for
the starving. 1t is the best way to
save the world from Bolshevism.
The miracle Of the Five loaves and
the two fishes" is about to be per-
formed again-not before a multitude
of five thousand, but in the presence
of millions of people. There will
be enough and to spare"-but only
when we share.
The people have been simply mag
nifcent in their willingness to help
the Food Administration, whether it
be in Vermont or the entire country.
Mr.. Hoover sends his greetings and
deepest appreciation to all Vernon
ters-an appreciation he deeply and
sincerely feels. Your food Admins
traitor joins just as heartily and thanks
the people again and again for their
willing and patriotic and quick adj
justment to the restrictions and rules

Confession of an Aviator,

For myself, writes Charles B. Word
hoff in Atlantic, there IS nowhere and
nobody l would rather be at present
than here and pilot. No man in his
senses could say he enjoyed the war;
but as it must be fought out, I would
rather be in aviation than in any other
branch. A pleasant life, good food,
good sleep, and two to four hours a
day in the air. After four hours Gin
two spells) over the lines, constantly
alert and craning to dodge scandalous-
ly accurate shells and suddenly ap-
pearing Boches, painting in the thin
air at 10000 feet, the boys are, think,
justified in calling it day. l have
noticed that the coolest men are a
good bit let down after a logged ma
chine fight far up in the rarefied air.
1t may seem soft to an infantryman-
20 hours of sleep, eating and loafing;
but in reality the airman should be
given an easy time outside Of flying.
