WOULD CUT AvIATORS' PAY
Senate Committee Gets Bill Recon-
mended BY Pershing.

mended BY Pershing.
Washington, Feb. 12.-On a report
from General Pershing that aviation
is not extra-hazardous service, Sec
retary Baker has submitted to the
Senate military committee a bill to
repeal all extra allowances in the
aviation service, averaging so per
cent.
Flying duty is no more hazardous
that duty with other combat troops
and involves nothing like the hard
ships endured by troops which oc-
cupy trenches" said General Perish
ing. Such laws are productive OF
improper balance in rank and pay
which result in injustice to other
arms and are no longer necessary in
order to get personnel"
The measure submitted by Secre-
tary Baker also would create new
grade of aviator" to be filed by
specially qualified civilians paid $3.50
monthly.

345 men STILL
mot RECORDED
List of Survivors of TuscanIa
Disaster Reaches 1882
Names.
DEATH LIST HElOAT 113
Number Unaccounted For Expected
To Be Materially Reduced as
Checking Of Comparative
Rolls Proceeds.

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE list OF
1882 names of American soldiers res
cued from the torpedoed liner Tus-
cania, SO far reported to the war de-
partment, leave 345 of the soldiers
unaccounted for.
Official reports had reached the de-
partment to change the estimate that
all except 113 of the men were saved,
but the names have been coming in
very slowly over the cables and there
is no assurance as to when the list
will be complete.
The committee on public informa-
tion has made no effort to compile
list of the missing, merely issuing
lists of survivors. In orded to COM
pile list of missing and unreported
il was necessary to search for each
name in both lists, a laborious process
in dealing with more than 1000 names.
Thirty-seven names of the list of sur
vivors given out by the public informa-
tion committee do not appear on the
War department roster of those on
board.
1t Is assumed that some soldiers pos
sibly were sent aboard the steamer at
the last moment, without having their
names reported for the passenger list
recorded on this side, and also that
some members of the ships crew may
have been enormously reported among
the military survivors.
Baker Issues Statement.
Secretary of War Baker has issued
statement that the loss stood on
latest reports at approximately 113
men.
Still without official details of the
attack, the Secretary paid high tribute
to the GOODNESS and discipline of the
troops. He expressed keen apprecia.
tion of the work of rescue done by the
British navy. His statement reads:
THE fine discipline of the men and
the efficient handling of a difficult sit
uation by those in command contrib
uted to accounting for those relative
ly slight casualties.
AT the same time we must express
our profound appreciation for splendid
work of the British navy in rescuing
our forces.
Notwithstanding the fact that hos
tile submarines were lurking in the vi
cinity, the British destroyers rendered
every assistance and remained on the
scene, succoring our men until all sur
vivors were brought safely ashore
Irish Do All They Can.
AT the small ports of Ireland and
Scotland where our troops landed they
met with a most warm-hearted recep
tion on the part of the people who
did all in their power to administer
every comfort and care"
The failure of the British represen
tatiyes to get complete story of the
attack is fully explained, in the belize
OF officials, in their main anxiety t
complete the list of dead and missinf
and saved. A complete detailed repor
from General George T. Bartlett, mill
tary attache of the American ambass,
In London, Is expected as soon as tn,
immediate task of caring for the sur
vivors has been finished.

AmbuShed American Patrol
Fights Foe to The Death
When Surprised.
SURROUNDED BY ENEMY
Teutons Cry "Kamerad" And Then
Open Fire On Sammies-Grenades
Are Used-U. S. Now Com
mands Its Own Line.

With the American Army in France,
Feb. 12.-German shell fire has killed
one American artilleryman and wound
ed five artillerymen.
The early reports of the encount-
ers between the Americans and Ger
mans in front of the American wire
entanglements have been confirmed.
The enemy patrol cried "Kamerad,"
as they opened fire and continued to
fight
Our artillery Immediately laid a
barrage around the ambushing Ger
mans and some are believed to have
been accounted for. The infantry ac-
counted for Others as it is certain the
attacked patrol fought to a finish.
Yells from the enemy as the Ameri-
can barrage fell, verified the accuracy
Of the aim of the Americans.
Surrounded by Enemy.
One of the American patrols, con-
sisting OF Ia men, went out to in
spect the wire. The men were NOV
Ing cautiously along when the leader
heard suspicious noises ahead The
formation of the patrol was changed,
when suddenly, according to the sur
vivors, the men found themselves al
most surrounded by large numbers
of the enemy.
A German cried "Kamerad" and
then hurled grenade. The Ameri.
cans opener fire with their rifles and
pistols and hurled their grenades.
The Germans did likewise.
Germans Yelled "kamerad."
The fight lasted only about a min.
ute and a half, the Germans all the
while yelling "Kamerad." They then
retreated, taking with them four
Americans and leaving behind four
dead and two wounded Americans
One of the unwounded men crawled
to where wounded comrade lay
moaning and gave him water, while
the other wounded soldier dragged
himself through the fire.
Quickly a hail OF machine gun and
rife bullets was directed against the
retreating Germans. Meanwhile the
wounded man, who was a sergeant
died In the arms OF a private who
was endeavoring to give him aid.
Cries and Yeils In German.
The men in the trenches and the
survivors had a gleam of satisfaction
when the shells from the American
heavy guns and 75s began hitting In
barrage. Cries and yells Of pain in
German were mingled with explosions
Then the barrage widened and there
were further cries, proving that the
enemy had scattered.
Another patrol quickly went ovel
the top into No Mans Land and
found their five dead comrades ant
one uninjured survivor of the first
patrol, who had remained beside the
bodies and was ready to give battle
II the enemy returned.
The greatest courage was exhibit
ed by the entire patrol, every man o
which fought hard until killed or tn,
enemy had withdrawn.

Il. Johnson, cement contractor.
Fifth ST., Washburn says: "A few
years ago, my kidneys started
~bothering me and | had q dull ache
across my back. Some days I
could hardly work. My kidneys
acted TOO frequently. Mornings |
got up feeling lame and sore across
my back and | was all out of sorts.
When / saw Doan's Kidney Pills
advertised in the paper, | began
using them. They relieved me
right away and after | had used two
boxes. my kidneys acted regularly
and naturally and my back felt fine.
Doan's Kidney Pills are certainly
good. Since then, whenever my
back has started to pain me, | have
used them and they have fixed me
up in no time.

EIectricIfY on the Farnn.

1t is apparent from the fact that
100000 horse power in electric mo-
tors is now actually being used on the
farm that the phrase electricity on
the Farm does not constitute an idle
dream any longer, remarks the Cen
eral Electric Review. Although 160,-
600 horse power of this is used for irri-
cation and reclamation purposes Ca pc
culiarity of semiarid s~ections), the
remainder. or 10000 horse power, is
actually being used for miscellaneous
farm purposes, such as driving the
cream separator, butter churn, and so
on. The only thing that we are rot
doing with electricity on any scale is
blowing and %cultivating, and this now
bids fair to be a commercial reality in
the very neal future.-Scientifc Amer

ANCIENT BIRDS WERE GIANTS
Incapable Of Flight, but of Immense
Proportions and Evidently Great
Physical Power.

Insofar as birds are concerned,
some Of the oldest fossils, in the mat
ter Of time (Miocenei, which have
fallen into the hands of science, are
those representing great fiightless
fossil avian giants Of Patagonia in
South America. They belong to the
Phororhacidae.
Judging from such parts Of their
fossil bones as have been found, they
were evidently great terrestrial birds
Of prey. Some Of the species were
small, but this is made up for by the
others; and in the case of one OF
them (Bronttornis), it had a thigh
bone considerably larger and longer
than that Of an OK.
OF all the remarkable fightless
birds Of this group, however, was the
giant Phororhacos: it must have
been over eight feet in height, with a
skull bigger than that Of a full
grown horse, and much deeper than
above downwards. We know little
or nothing Of these birds or what LED
to their extinction. With its great
size, P~hororhacos must have been a
terror to the animals upon which it
preyed. Skulls and some other bones
Of this bird have been discovered

Dishonoring an Honor Flag


Barred by law from use of the American flag for their
propaganda work, the Anti Saloon League is now desecrating
the Service Flag, which, while unofficial, is today recognized
as an authoritative emblem of Loyalty. There has recently
been circulated in this state a leaf1et in the form of a Service
Flag which bears brazen, bald-faced and vicious misstate-
mentS.
To the average man, it would seem time for Christian
people, standing for mercy, right and justice, to at least
ascertain the truthfu1ness of statements they are asked to
circulate and to tacitly endorse. ssThou shalt not bear false
hoods. It says brewers annually use 100000 tons of food
stuffs. Government statistics prove that exactly a 1000 lie.
It asserts brewing consumes 10000, 900 tons of coal yearly.
Official Federal figures as late as the recent fuel shortage place
this consumption at less than 3,O0O,OOO tons land this of soft
coaD. That is a 10000 lie. And 42O, 1000 cars are used
annually, they say. That would be 1870 of the entire supply
and would make brewing the greatest industry in America.
Nobody will believe this claim as it is about 350% lie. Il
Then this circular proceeds to insult its own dry folks,
condemning the 1900, 900 to 300, 1000 Wisconsin citizens who
regularly failto go to the polls" They claim that four out
Olive of these stay-at-homes are dry. They insult them with
this couplet: /,
sA& "Their fathers were heroes, A@GSSSMA
F Their mothers were 'sheroes,' MR~ENs
- They're absolutely zeros.',
They are called Slackersl That is a pretty strong term
to apply in these war days to 100000 Wisconsin citizens
whose only fault in the eyes of the Anti-Saloon League is that
they fail to vote dry.

TELEPHONE TROUBLES.

"Walk out; lock out i get your
money and get out, F" is what Man
ager Jarrett told the operators of
the Maumee telephone exchange
when they attempted to occupy
the managers position and die
tate the management of the busi-
ness.
When telephone operators of
the Maumee exchange told Man
ager Jarrett they would not work
unless he discharged certain of his
employees, Mr.. Jarrett decided the
time had come for him to discover
who was running the business
the manager or the operators. For
starter he paid off all those who
were dissatisfied and Immediately
began procuring other help. The
long suffering public will be
pleased to know that the manage
ment has decided to enforce
thorough supervision of the serv-
ice to the end that the patrons
may receive courteous and intel
ligent service at all times.

About Constipation.

Certain articles of diet tend to check
movements of the bowels. The most
common of these are cheese, tea and
boiled milk. On the other hand raw
fruits, especially apples and bananas,
also graham bread and whole wheat
bread promote movement of the
bowels. When the bowels are badly
constipated, however, the sure way is
to take one or two of Chamberlain's
Tablets Immediately after supper.

OBSERVATIONS.

The Kaiser in recent outburst
says he has shared the misery of his
people. He has worried, no doubt,
lest one of his five sons meet with
an accident, the roads being bad
and transportation facilities not
what they were.
Missouri, who insists on being
shown, can also make a good show
ing. One of her lieutenants got an
enemy airplane' on his first flight
over their lines.
The White Guard and the Red
Guard are raising the mischief in
Finland, but in Germany they have
a few extreme specimens of the
Blackguard
AS the Berlin papers announce
the mysterious death of the Grand
Duke Nicholas, he must be causing
them some trouble.
Whale meat is said to be as
nourishing as bread. and another
beauty about it is that you don t
want nearly as much.
Love making is seldom done in
pictures, says Mr.. Mcbride, the
art critic. He can't have been to
the movies lately.
Work, Save, Serve. Get your
War Savings Stamps.
"Women can't knit and chew
gum at the same time," says the
"Helping hand" The idea! She
can chew, knit and talk at the
same time.
A newspaper item informs us
that milk is frozen and sold in
brick form in Siberia.
We can make out exactly what
they are doing, but | gather from
reports that those senators at
Washington are saying a lot.
Won Hindenburg's announce,
ment, paris by April" serves
again to call attention to the fail,
ure of German generalship in the
matter of personally conducted
tours.
The mayors along the Rhine
who pleaded with Hindenburg to
desist from serious warfare be-
cause of their sufferings through
reprisals were rebuffed. Safety
first in Germany is reserved for
generals and princes.
No sentimental farewells were
wasted on the last of the heatless
Mondays.

A Hint to the Aged.

If people past sixty years of age
could be persuaded to go to bed as
soon as they take cold and remain in
bed for one or two days, they would
recover much more quickly, especially
if they take Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. There would also be less
danger of the cold being foAdwed by
any of the more serious diseases.
