CHECK THAT OFFENSIVE!

The big spring offensive of the
housefly army under the direction of
Herr Won Housef1y is now in prepara-
ton Already patrols and scouting
parties have been located and it is per-
fectly evident that the housefiy army
is going to have no regard or respect
for the food laws of the American ma
ton once the onrush is launched.
Ruthless warfare is the plan of Cen
eral Herr Won Housefly.
The housef1y always has been re-
garded as a nuisance, but today he is
to be regarded as an enemy. Today
we only can look upon the housefiy as
an ally of the kaiser. Heretofore we
have always allowed ourselves to be
on the defensive and at times unpre-
pared to meet his onrush.
Let's check this Onrush of the
housefiy. Let's begin to break up his
attacks before he gets a strangling
hold and forces us to retreat through
superior numbers. Put up your bar
rage and wire entanglements (screens)
and prevent him from breaking
through our front line. Like a soldier
you may wipe out his reserves with
machine guns (1y swatters). Put forth
all your efforts in destroying his mob
ilization points Don't leave a road
open. Repulse every attack. We must
win the war against this ally of the
kaiser.

JOINT DEBATES.
movement.

Public debates between candidates
for office had their origin in a time
when hey afforded the best means of
reaching the people. In those days,
when politics were rs primitive as
the people, methods of transportation
were limited and tedious, and the peo-
pie did not have the ways we now en-
Joy for traversing distance. Newspa-
pers too, were few, their delivery de-
layed and slow, and the mails were
weeks behind the events.
In consequence, it was customary for
candidates to arrange speaking dates
at points most convenient for the peo-
pie to reach, and there, sometimes on
wagon bodies. sometimes on boxes
sometimes on stumps, any one OF
which enabled the speaker to raise
himself above the crowd, the debates
would take place.
Such was the genesis OF stump
speaking and of debates. They existed
because there was necessity for
them. Today they are commonplace,
almost obsolete, wholly unnecessary
and ridiculous.
The so-called joint debate between
H. H. Dean and w. S, Howard il
Gainesville Saturday was literal ex
emplification of their absurdity
Nothing was accomplished n
craftsmanship was exhibited on eithe
side It was merely harangue They
called each other names, while tn
crowd cheered and jeered. The.
muck-raked each others pasts, They
pow-wowed over matters utterly irrel-
evant to the senatorial campaign. They
demonstrated to a finish that both are
too small. of mental calibre too pus-
Unanimous, of methods too question:
BILE in capacity too limited, for the
United States Senate When II was
said and done, when Howard had
spoken and Dean had spoken, and
Howard had spoken again, nothin

FOUR AIRSHIPS FIT
FOR OCEAN FLIGHT

1.-THE plans to fly across the Attain
tic have reached the practical stage
of development where it is only a
question of deciding which of four
types of available airplanes to use in
the first fight" said Alan r. Hawley,
President of the Aero-Clu0 OF Amer
lea, yesterday in supplementine the
announcement published in The World
that the club had gone far toward
conducting a transatlantic flight.
The four machines considered ca
pable of winging their way to Europe
Mr.. Hawley said, were the British
Handley-Page the Italian Caproni
and two American planes, one I'M
named and the other offered 70 the
Aero Club by Capt James V. Martin
veteran aviator and airplane construc-
tor, of Illyria, o.
1t was the presence here of Major
Gen. William Brancker Of The British
Royal Air Force for the avowed par
pose of arranging for military fllgnTs
between here and Europe that causes
the preliminary announcement by the
Aero Club.
The later statement points out that
the three best methods for the flight
are Cd from New York to ireland
8 .0O0-mile without stopping-by large
land machines: (2) by flying-boats
FROM New York to Ireland, stopping
to take fuel from ships stationed a
3300-mile intervals; (S) from Nsw-
foundland to the Azores Q,195 miles
and from the Azores to Portugal
$3.50 miles, either by nonstop land
machines or by f1ying-boats taking on
fuel from ships. The statement con
tinues:
"The plan proposed by Handley'
Page is to cross the Atlantic with
large land aeroplane. This is also the
plan of Caproni But in each case thu

FOUGHT TO A STANDSTILL.

1t is now more than three months
Ssrnse Germany launched The offensive
al the 21st of March After two
months Of lighting and an interval of
ne ninth spent in reuperatlcn and re
plenishing its exhausted divisions, the
German general staff has not onl.
failed to to attain a single one of the
major detectives ascribed to it, but
his come so far from complete de-
velopment of its campaign as to leave
il in doubt what those detectives ac-
tnaliy are. ASM
On this point opinion among militia
~ writer's lie divided Some say the
German poal is Paris. Others think
it is the vhannel ports, Others believe
tht the battle of Picardy, the battles
of the Champagne, the battles before
Ypres nd the recent thrust which was
brought to halt along the Matz were
intended by the Germans as parts of a
big clearing operation meant to secure
advantageous positions for final and
supreme effort.
Another theory. and frequently adj
vanced, is that in the enemy's strategy
territory and even tactical aims form
but a secondary consideration, and
that the Germans design is not to
break through in any given sector,
out gradually to wear down the Allied
hesustance. and to dishearten the En-
