Airnats in France must respect
tho vineyards. according to Plane
News, the official organ OF the fly
ing men of the American army. a
copy OF the issue OF September II
has been forwarded to The Tulsa
World. Tho Plano News assigns two
reasons why this respect is essential,
one being that to enter the vineyards
might cause international complica-
tions, and besides look what comes
from the grapes This is the idea OF
Plane News on the subject:
"Airnars who usta pluck apples
and pull the plums from the old
swimming hole orchard, will have to
cut this grape pulling in the French
vineyards Since the time OF Noah 5
Ark it has Oeen an hOnored custom
to show vineyards every respect, for
from them we get the wonderful
win rouge that lights up the soul of
man like cathedral on prayer meet
ing night. Seriously. the airnat must
remember he is an American soldier
and must do nothing that will at
any time jeopardiZe the present

GERMANS HAVE 3
LINES OF DEFENSE

| happens to be entered by the allies.
Northwest of Metz Is the great
iron field Of BrIcy. The Importance
of this iron deposit has compelled
the Germans to convert the whole
country there into a veritable fort
ress. This line runs along the boun-
dairy between France and Germany,
bending to the northeast until 1t
reaches the Luxembourg line.
II this belt should be pierced. the
Germans may fall back to the Saar-
brucken and Kalserslauten regions,
which are intcrspcrsed by rivers and
high wooded hills, which lend
themselves admirably to defensive
operations.
CoblcnE Key TO Germany.
The country along the Belgian
frontier between Luxembourg and
Holland is dominated by Coblenz,
which Marshal Foch considers the
key to Germany. In this area is
Bonn, fortress OF the first class;
Cologne, which is protected by
broad belt Of entertainments, and
series of strongholds running along
the western side OF the Rhine until
that river passes into Holland.
Should the three lines mentioned
he broken, or II the allies should
break through between Metz and the
Swiss frontier, the Germans would
he compelled to fall BACK into Ger
many proper or TO the south to cross
the Rhine.
This historic river is really the
western moat OF the Tetuonic castle.
Its whole eastern bank is strongly
fortified and would be capable of
a protracted defense. This line of
resistance begins at Lahr and runs
down the Rhine through Ofefnburg,
RaS,att. where American prisoners
of war are quartered; Karlaruhe,
Mannheim, Darmstadt, Wiesbaden,
Bendorf Kalk, Densburg and Wesel.
Can shorten Lines.
In their retirement from their
present positions the Germans will

ally and thus increase the number
of men available for resistance along
their ne~ fronts. The Hunding line
Is about seventy miles shorter than
the Hindenhurg system, which IL
now but "A memory. The line OF the
Meuse would shorten the front by
twenty miles more. while the Ger
mans. IL they should retire to their
own frontier, would be able to still
shorten their front by IS miles
This shortening OF the line will be
OF tremendous Importance in future

Milk Dealers to Consult
With Ex-Mayor Bowman

Following their meeting in Maen-
nerchor Hall last evening, the milk
dealers of the city announced that
nothing definite had been accom-
plished in regard to districting the
city for milk distribution. This
morning l.. A. Sterick. president of
the Retail Milk Dealers Associa-
ton, said that the next move to be
made by the dealers will be to con-
suit j. William Bowman, who was
appointed by the food administra-
ton to arrange the zoning plans. in
regard to the best action to be
taken.
At their meeting the dealers
agreed that the proposition is too
big for them to handle alone, and
that outside help will be necessary
to complete the arrangements. 1t
developed in addition that some of
the dealers are opposed to the plan.
The food administrator of Dauphin
county is desirous of seeing the move
accomplished, and Mr.. Sterick this
morning said that DIR. Clyde l.. King,
the milk and dairy expert of the
stale food administration, will be in
the city this month to complete
plans for coming. DIR. King started

GUINEA PIG FARM
AT GREENCASTLE
Interesting Little Animals Be
ing Raised For Expert
mental Work

Greencastle, Pa, Aug. 5.-One of
the most interesting industries in
Greencastle, and one perhaps that
many persons do not know any,
thing about, is the raising of guinea
pigs. which are sent to the city hes
pitals for laboratory tests. Bruce
Pope, of East Baltimore street, has
gone into the business extensively,
and has good-sized house fitted up
for the little animals. At the pres
ent time he has on hand 200 large
guinea pigs, and number of young
ones, and they are housed in twenty
FIVE small pens. The pens all have
yard enclosed with wire netting,
but the small animals sleep in the
rear pens, which are entirely dark,
with the exception of small openings
just large enough for them to crawl
in. Through the summer they live
on clover, beet and other vegetable
tops. but in the winter they have a
diet of hay and corn fodder.
Some of them are as white as
snow, while others are as black and
shiny as a silk hat. Quite a number
are cream colored, while some are of
reddish brown color.
In each group is placed one male
and five females. and they breed
frequently, a mother often giving
birth to five little pigs. The pigs
are shipped to the city when they
weigh from six to ten ounces. After
the animals are two days old they
eat everything that is given to the
older pigs.
Last winter because of the ex-
treme cold. Mr.. Pope was compelled
to keep stove burning in the shed
containing the pigs, as they must
be kept in a place where the tenn
perature is at least 60 degrees. This
year he expects to go into the busi-
ness even more extensively, and will
ship pigs to the city every two
weeks. The pigs are in great de-
mand for laboratory tests and the
business of raising them for this
purpose is quite profitable.
