First Great American Air Raid

1t has arrived-the time when
American air forces are able to enter
the conflict in great numbers and in
operations Of great magnitude. The
report Of the recent aerial raid by
Americans, backed up by French and
English, north of Verdun, in which
about $50 airplanes were used, is one
Of the finest pieces of news that has
appeared in connection with the mag
nificent series Of Allied successes.
The details Of the raid have not yet
reached us, but the fact that we are
able to enter that field of aggressive
fighting on a scale heretofore un-
known in the wonderful armies Of the
Allies. is a source of great gratif1ca-
ton.
1t means that the Hun will now be
given taste Of the same medicine he
has been for long months dealing out
with unfailing regularity and fiend-
ishness upon the innocent women and
children in their own beds. 1t means
that the needless and ruthless de-
struction Of homes and property will
now be put up to the originators Of
the plan. It means that 1.-The chick
ems are coming home to roost" in the
homes and dooryards of the German
brutes. whose cries Of ''Kamerad" will
fall upon deaf ears. so far as mercy
is commemorative time for mercy for
those wanton murderers has gone.
The press dispatches said among
other things regarding this great air
raid. the following:
1.-THE most significant feature Of the
first great American raid, outside Of
its possible place in the great strate-
gic game that is being played on the
western front, is the fact that 1t in
dicates that the United States now
has taken its full place beside the
allies in the air as we'll as on land and
sea- The bombing squadrons which
made up this fleet probably represent
the first definite American unit Of
major importance In the Independent
air forces which are being built up
by tho entente powers. The British
and French governments now official

force.
What is meant is that the navy Of
the air is to be expanded until no
part Of Germany shall be safe from
the rain Of bombs. 1t is a thing
apart from the fighting. observation
and bombing squadrons attached to
tho various army corps. which work
in close cooperation with the troops
on attack or defence. The work Of
the Independent force Is bombing mu-

October II, l9l8---Day Of Liberty

by Elisabeth Powers MerrilD
Day unforgotten, when sailed West
In caraval with SPANS wn nag and crest
A who sought a shore beyond the shorA
Where, a boy. he played in days of yore.
Dreaming there was land beyond the sea
Bright with earth's happiness, wind swept and free
Where hills and crags Of gold rose up on high
And meadows blossomed underneath the sky.
A where men Freedom might catch CLEANS
And fashion their lives, by their own dreams
Across the battling waves he beat his way
With faith that faltered OF from day to day.
He watched the Great North star-famiar light
Above a wind-wid and dark night.
Sailing he dreamed the dreams to him long given
He needed not mems thr eats at morn or even,
Nor hail. rain ca Oh unkindly sign
He kept the glowing fire on his hearts shrine,
From hts One Hope power his soul could weAn:--
To make Reality Of things unseen.
O Holy Day when answe his prayer
And he beheld his Dream-than Dream more fair!
He nung the Flag Of Spain unto the skies!
Saluted heaven in this New Paradise!
To who cursed and scorned him day by day
Had he proved the Faith that in him lay?
Though centuries have passed beyond mems reach.
Lost like some grains of sand, in sanded beach
Columbus lives! his name shall never die
AS long sun and stars hang in the sky!
Hearts gain new hopes olden tale is told;
Lips cry, what Courage had this of Old"
Behold this land. We hum BILE and We wise.
Land splendid. vast, and Of enchanting skies!
Where cities stand beside ship-laden
And slender bridges the floods with ease
Columbia, grown great nd greater STILL
The dreams and hopes of all life to fulfill
Then sail. o Country, tn rough wider gate!
Learn Of Truth and of that Spirit Great
That moved Colu mbus heart that far off morn
AND STILL AB1DEs WITH MEN TO LEAD THEM ON!

Why Not Notify the Dastards7

Why Not Notify the Dastards7
All the destruction and devilishness
possible In the time that IL left to
him. seems to be the Hun determi-
nation. For proof, read two dis
patches in Friday mornings Kenne-
BIC Journal-the ruthless vandalism
that left Cambria in ruins. and the
inhuman Smelling of the hundreds Of
human beings on the sinking Ticon-
deroga and her boats.
There Is the Hun that is urging
peace ito prevent further bloodshed."
Cambria was ruined by the Ger
mans before. they were obliged to
nee-mined with time fuses attached
so that as the allied forces took
possession, the city was destroyed by
explosions in every section followed
by flames.
There is the convicted German
fiend who asks for peace in the name
Of humanity, and who will soon be on
his dastardly, hypocritical knees beg
ging for mercy from the world. Shall
he have mercy" or justice?
Sometimes. when we read Of these
acts Of pure cussedness, we almost
wish President Wilson had put a
snapper on the end of his brief reply
TO Macmillan to read something like
this:
Hold out as long as you wish. de-
lay peace according to your own de-
sire. but remember that, for every act
OF brutalism on land or sea, and for
every act OF wilful destruction Of
evacuated city or town, field or Vine
yard mine or factory. Germany shall
pay the full price. And remember,
too, that for every pfennig of van
dalism in France or Belgium in the
retreat of the German armies, equal
measure will be taken in the beauti-
full cities and towns of western Ger
many. BY that means Germany shall
suffer for her sins, even though she
Is too poverty stricken to restore.
The world at last fully realizes that
the only law recognized by the Hun
mentality is the law Of an eye for an
eye and a tooth for a TOOTH"
Is II not time that Germany be
made to understand the wrath which
such acts are arousing against her
and her people in every human
heart?-we use human" advisedly.
Shall we even consider any form of
peace parley or armistice until
enough German cities are occupied to
offset all the fendish destruction by
Germans in France and Belgium?
Shall not Frankfort, Hamburg.
Cologne. Hanover, Stuttgart. Carls-
ruhe. Darmstadt. Mayence, with all
the lesser cities and towns about and
between be held as hostage until

destruction?
The German people-government
junkers and masses-are at the verge
Of panic because OF military, financial
and political straits. But they fear
nothing 20 much as the possibility Of
q swift invasion, now already in
sight, Of the Rhine valley, by the
avenging forces Of nations that have
suffered every form Of atrocity at
Hun hands. And let it be remep-
bered that these cowardly hearts Of
Hundom are In abject terror Of re-
prisais. for they know what they
richly deserve.
Now Is the hour to drive home to
the Kaiser and all his dastardly
imps, that for all these acts of wan
ton cruelty and devastation a toll
with interest IL to be taken.

but you are dearly to PAY.

Out beyond the twilight
Where purple shadows creep,
There lies a mystic country
Across the plains Of sleep.
The way to this wonderful country,
Stretching away so far,
Is over a drowsy highway,
Lit by a single star.
No bounds of time or distance
Hedge this enchanted place,
Where 1 meet my old companions.
Talk with them face to face.
There my soul goes rowing,
Away, and then away,
Free from every fetter
That binds me to the day.
There hear the lulling music
OF the distant meadow brook:
Silver. ripping over lodges.
Dark, in cool and silent nook,
Then l hear the night wind whisper.
Telling secrets soft and low
To the heavy headed clovers,
Nodding to and fro.
Out beyond the twilight.
Far in the misty West,
There waits a beautiful country,
The Land OF Dreams. and rest.
Mr.. and Mrs. William H. Briggs cele-
brated their 5oth wedding anniversary
Monday evening at Harrison. The
house was very prettily decorated with
autumn leaves and the bride and groom
Of 50 years ago renewed their marriage
vows under a wedding bell in a bower
Of golden leaves. There were many in
vited guests present including the
daughters with their husbands The
grandchildren with the exception Of
thres were also present and a very
pleasant evening was enjoyed with mu-
sic and Rotations. A poem was con-
tributed by Mrs. Dana Stuart and the
pastor. Rev. c. N. Davie made some re-
marks. Mr.. and Mrs. Briggs were re-
membered with many gifts. which in
cluded a number or gold pieces. Re-
freshments were served and the we'd
ding cake was cut.

advised that the potato crop still I'M

good weather to follow with sunshine
to dry out the earth the remainder Of
the crop can be harvested in good
shape without material loss. But the
grain crop still unharvested is badly
hurt.

While we couldn't help feeling that

pictures on July and August nights,
we found "Her Fighting Chance" at
the Temple last evening, very inter
esting story with a good. old-fashion-
ed, happy ending.
The feature picture tonight will do
you good TO see. 1t is Francis Ford in
Berlin and America" The picture
was made some time last summer and
except in few details was pretty
fair prophecy of what has since come
TO pass.
There will also be the 'Story of the
Ford Eagles" setting forth one of
the great works of the war-how
Henry Fort built cruisers like he built
cars and had the seas swarming with
them in record time.

there should be no domestic burden
placed upon transportation, which
would tend to lessen the delivery OF
war shipments.
'Also during the winter months
there is a tremendous movement OF
foodstuffs to all of the larger cities
These foodstuffs are perishable and
next to war shipments must be given
first consideration.
"We are asking our men every
wher to bring these points before our
patrons, and to emphasize more
strongly than ever the vital impor-
tance of proper packing and legible
marking. We are asking them to re-
fuse all shipments which are not
packed strongly enough to reach their
destination with ordinary handling,
and to insist that the address of the
sender and of the consignee be placed
