OUR WONDERFUL RECORD

IT have drawn roughly the results of the mill
tary effort of the United States for period of less
than 10 months I do not believe that any impartial
man would say that this effort is completed,
but declare that any impartial man must admit
it's wonderful extension and splendid achievements
These are the words of Andre Tardieu, French high
commissioner the United States in speech delivered
at New York March g. When compared with the
fault finding of people who know little nothing of
the that has been done in preparing
for the entry of the United States into the great
these words from expert, man of knowledge,
who knows whereof he speaks indeed refresh
ing.
No nation in the history of the world has done
much made few mistakes in such brief time
the United States since declared between
us and Germany The who is not proud of the
achievements of this country is not patriot.

chine, strap myself in, strap my feet
to the pedals, adjust the Paragraph
and see whether the switch is on "Tol-
to" or off The mechanic then calls
'Tolto," | repeat "Tolto" looking at
the switch He then turns the engine
over a few times to draw a mixture
into the cylinders, stands off, and calls
"Contalto"; whereupon | repeat the
word and switch on the juice. The
engine starts off with a steady roar
that surely is music. Several fellows
hold the machine while l speed the
engine up OF see that it is running
properly and that the oil and gas
pressures are all right. Throttle the
engine down again and every body
stands clear, while the section leader
looks around to see that there are no
machines near my path; he then waves
o. K, and l slowly pull the throttle
wide Open The plane starts to move
along the ground constantly gaining
in speed, and the controls seem to take
on life. When I started there was
considerable side wind blowing and
as soon as the tail left the ground the
wind threw it around but | caught 1t

back into line again. For a few sec
onds she bumped along the ground,
then gathering speed and responding
to a slight pull on the controls, took
to the air like duck to water. l was
able to get up few hundred meters
before leaving the home field, then had
to cross some cultivated ground for
a mile or So Gee, but it surely was
bumpy. AS nearly as lean describe
it, the sensation was identical with
that of padding canoe on very rough
water, if you can imagine swells of
two or htree hundred feet thrown in
with the choppiness.
There is one place that whenever
cross it the machine drops so rapid
ly l fairly hang by the safety belt. I
hit it then all right. However, on the
other side there was just as pro-
nounced an ascending current.
Soon though I had passed all this
and found a region where the air was
as calm as molasses. All one has to
do in such a place is to put ones knee
against the control and the machine
will take care of itself. l did that
little thing and beat my hands around
to warm them, as they had gotten
little damp from perspiration on the
ground and were easily chilled.
The engine pumped up the air pres
sure in the gas tank so rapidly that I

.ical1y finished my climb that way.

Jack" Wilder, a nephew of Mrs.
B. P. Griffith, and cousin of Max Crit
fifth of Moscow, is an aviator with the
troops fighting for liberty against au-
tocracy and has written an interesting
letter to his parents, which the Star
Mirror is privileged to publish. 1t
will be of interest to those whose rela-
tives are in the aviation corps. The
letter follows:
January 8, 1918.
Dear Father and Mother:
By the time you receive this | hope

whether you have heard it or not but
we are not to be given first lieutenan-

much but for the irony of it. We, the

start their training at once and so
take their R. NJ A. (Reserve Military

the time the ruling went into effect;
while we were delayed nearly two
months on account of waiting for

could begin Then, too, the second
brevet Gtalian) which we have to take
is infinitely more difficult, and man
must have much more complete
training before he undertakes it. How
ever, think it will be all right in the
end, as some of the fellows who have
some influence are raising the dickens
and everyone seems to sympathize.
One of the fellows remarked the
other day that he was writing home
complete description of one of his
flights. saying that while we ourselves
don't care a rap about it, the home
folks might be interested, which struck
me as good idea He was writing
about one of his first brevet flights
where one has to fly at an altitude OF
between 500 and 1900 meters 1.-TWO to
four thousand feet for forty-five min
utes. That flight didn't interest me

other point In the few short months he has been
at Moscow he has reputation the most inter-
esting speaker in the and he could not fill all
the engagements to speak that are offered him If
he did nothing else.
With such speaker in town it seems strange
that more Moscow citizens do not avail themselves of
the privilege of hearing him often than they do.
Dr. Lindey speaks at the university several times
week when he is in town and could hear one
of his addresses without proftng by so doing.
