ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
!. Letters From and About Soldiers

Flying Cadet Lucien Carson, who is
at Call Field. Wichita Falls, Tex.
writes his father that he is now doing
solo flying.
'I'll tell you there is nothing like
it," he writes, ''for when we fly alone
we are 1000 or 1900 feet high and can
do what we please without having an
instructor tell us it is all wrong. And
it is certainy fine to know that you are
the boss, at least pro TEN.
Just let your imagination wander
over to Texas and picture me about
eight O'Clock, Just before dusk, up
about $500 feet investigating the
clouds. How | would enjoy dropping
down on you folks for visit. I'll
wager there would be some excitement
in the village. -
The young flyer writes that a num-
ber of his inventions have been adopted
by the government.
Some of my devices" writes young
Carson, "have been ordered installed
on all the training ships here, and
expect them to be instrumental in pre-
venting good many of the fatal acci-
dents.
"For the past six weeks have put
in about l2h hours day on this work,
and | am getting so think, dream and
study aeroplanes all the time. This
may sound foolish to you, but really |
have aroused from dreams several
times lately, my mind working out some
certain idea | had for my safety de-
vices.

A WAR STAR.

While the astronomers were viewing
from their lofty heights the recent eclipse
one Of them discovered new star i
remote sun, that was not on the map Of
the skies 1t is up there in the Milky
Way, between Affair and Vega. One
would think that there were 50 many stars
that the discovery Of a new one would
be Impossible To the naked eye, the
number Of stars is limited With the
large telescopes they number hundreds
of millions, and now come the photo
graphic inst ruments to make the number
infinite.
TO discover in all this stellar array a
new star is a wonder How did they
know it was not there before? How came
they to recognize it as a new star. We
should realize that the astronomers I'M
derstand every piece Of the sky no larger
than finger nall-what there is iii it
and all about it. We don t suppose that
little star suffered any annoyance because
il was not discovered sooner, OF that 1t
was not as big as Sirius or Capella May
be the reason we haven't seen It sooner
is that God had just finished it, and it
took several thousand Years for the light

British forces also held like 3 stone wall
and repealed all the attacks made upon
their lines
The prevailing belief is that the enemy
is preparing for another drive They
are desperate and must make some sub

in contemplation or they will be dis
credited by the German people, The
latter have been fed on lying reports
Of success, but the truth cannot much
longer be concealed from them. And
when they learn the full truth they are
likely to raise serious trouble at home.
