defense appropriation TO promote

Purposes.
Two main purposes prompted the
planning OF the United States
School Garden Army; (a) Increased
food production and (b) training
OF school children in thrift. indus
try, service, patriotism, and respon-

The necessity for man-power was
being felt. This was especially true
in agricultural pursuits. Not alone
were the drafted young men going
from the farm but great numbers OF
farm employees were being attract

LAST v EEK Of THE.
LIBERTY LOAN DRIVE.
MANY WHO HAVE MADE

AS lar as the Liberty Loan cam
paign is concerned, the situation i
very much the same as last Sunday
wnOl The Ardmoreite cautioned
volunteer workers and readers gen
orally that the war is not over, Th
hun has not surrendered, and in M
event is the necessity for purchas
ing all of Carter County's Libert,
Loan quota, and more, to be effect
ed by rumors of peace. So far a.
Carter County is concerned it is the
duty ct every resident of the coun-
ty to buy bonds and then buy more
bonds and thus aid in making the
kaiser want to quit more than he
now does.
Today begins the final week OF the
Fourth Liberty Loan drive and,
according to official reports from
the office Of Writ Franklin, Carter
County chairman, Carter County
has barely reached half her quota.
As yesterday was a legal holiday,
with all banks closed, no reports
were available last night. lnclud-
mg the business OF Friday, sub

OVER IE RE. {, !:
POLITICAL OBSERVATIONS.

In the campaign for control OF
congress the Democratic party man
ayers are loudly proclaming that
the president must have a congress
that will uphold his hands in the
prosecution OF the war and that it
must necessarily be a Democratic
congress. On the other hand the
Republican party managers are
contendlng that a Republican con-
SreSs will prosecute the war more
vigorously and uphold the hands
OF the president more cnergeticallv
than has the present Democrats
congress. Fortunately for the coun-
try the president during whose adj

the French Navy and Gen. Foch did
not consider that the circumstances
demanded the presence of such a
force at the front.
The French have had a naval di-
vision operating in the forces of the
Lorraine sector for some time, and
the naval units have made their part
of the line as shipshape as, with
everything from big naval guns down
to sleeping hammocks and shops
cats.
The American soldiers billeted in
England for temporary training or en-
route for France are more and more

PILOTLESS AIRPLANE.

An extraordinary incident occur
red to one of our airplanes a short
time ago. 1t was a two scatter and
gave battle to an enemy machine,
which was shot down and crushed.
After the battle, which took place
just over the lines near Arras, our
airplane was seen going off south
ward, apparently only partially un-
der control, and disappeared. Where
it went thereafter will never be
known, but more than two hours
later the same machine crashed to
earth twenty miles behind our lines.
The petrol tank was empty and
both occupants had been dead some
time, both killed by the same bull
let. The opinion of experts is that
the machine had flown by itself for
at least two hours with two dead
men in it until the petrol was ex-
hausted, having swung off in a great
circle over unknown land back TO
behind it's starting place, as boats
have been known to sail with the
sheets made fast and a dead mans
hand on the tiller.

AMERICAN DESTROYERS
IN SUBMARINE ZONES

Some indication of the ceaseless
watch kept on the high seas, in the
path of American troopships, by Unit
ed States naval forces operating in
European waters, may be gained from
statistics just compiled at the naval
headquarters in London. These sta
tistics show that a single force of Am
erican destroyers operating from one
base had steamed almost 10000
miles up TO April l. The maximum
distance covered by single destroyer
was more than $4,000 miles from
May /, 1917, to April l, 1918. This
destroyer was one of the first to ar
rive abroad after war was declared,

cost more lives than the Smelling of
the city from January 5, 1871, to
January % of the same year, when
the city capitulated During the three
weeks of the 1871 bombardment

In 1871 Paris was an invested city;
to-day it is not. The German methods,
however, were the same. On January
s and 8, 1871, the German guns con-
centrated their fire on the Hospital de
la Pitie, which was filed with sick
and wounded. The fire was steadily
maintained upon the hospital until
neutral nations protested to Bis
marck. The Chancellor, however, dis
missed their protest with this re-

FINAL STEPS TAKEN
AMEDNING DRAFT LAW

Washington, May 13.-Final steps
toward completion of legislation
amending the selective service law
were taken to-day by conghess.
A complete agreement was reached
by senate and house conferees on the
bill extending the law to youths at
tanning their majority since last June.
The dispute over exemption of theo-
logical and medical students from
registration was compromised with
the adoption of a provision exempting
them if actually enrolled when the
act is signed, but requiring registra-
ton of those who enter schools after
ward. The provision placing new reg
istrants at the bottom of eligible lists
was retained,
The conference report was adopted
after considerable debate, in which a
number of senator's denounced the
elimination from another bill already
passed of the plan to give states cred
it for volunteers. Senator Johnson,
of California, said elimination of the
provision penalized enthusiastic
States, and Senator Pheland, of Cali
fornia, said he would circulate petit
ton asking President Wilson not to
approve the measure. Senator Pom
creme, of Ohio, said he would prepare
a substitute plan.

HUN AIR FAILURE.

London, May German aviation
has proved a signal failure in the
great offensive on the Western front,
according to an officer correspondent
of the Morning Post. Writing from
the front he says:
German aviation does not exist at
present There are two principal rea-
sons, the first being the tremendous
wastage caused by the incessant at
tacks of the British and French pi-
lots on German machines, the second
being the bombing of airdromes. The
enemy to-day suffers from lack both
of men and machines in its flying
arm.
"In every department the Germans
have been and still are exerting their
full strength. If they had airplanes
available there is no doubt that they
would have made full use of them as
we have done, for observation pur-
poses, to prevent the bringing up of
reinforcements, and to disorganize
troops on the actual field of battle.
They have done none of these things
effectively.
1.-The conclusion seems manifest
that it is because they have not the
necessary force available. In any case,
the fact remains that German avia-
tion has ceased to be a force to be
seriously reckoned with. In the last

GERMANS Strive
FOR AIR MASTERY
Huns Make Strenuous Eff

In Clouds.

Paris, April 90. (By MaiD-With
out entering into the old question OF
the supremacy of the air." the
Germans have brought up to tn,
battlefelds of Picardy large
number of new air squadrons
and a series of new machines
IL assigned to absolutely special
missions. According to authentic
figures obtainable here, it ap-
pears as if there are 1900 "jagds-
tafielin," or chase machines, actually
engaged on the fifty-mile front, with
out counting the defense planes, or
"schutzstaffelin."
1t has been known for some time
that the Germans have been making
stupendous efforts to put large num-
bers of airplanes into the fields be-
fore the American air service could
develop sufficiently to be a serious
factor, but OF was not thought they
had as many machines as have made
their appearance in the big fight
Sent Out New Types.
In addition to the fighting planes
already known, such as the Albatross
or the Halberstadt, there have APP
peared on the front triplanes of the
Fokker design, used by the Brothers
Richtofen in their escadrille which
he French call the "Tangoes :" Han
noveranner" planes constructed by
the Hanover Wagon Fabrik, and.
finally, the newest thing in enemy
flyers, monoplanes, called 3-A-E-G
and "Pfalz." of a D-3 type.
According to the instructions found
on captured aviators last week, the
instructions of all the German avia-
tors were most explicit and the air
branch of the service had never been
rehearsed with such care
On the evening before the begin
ming of the great offensive special es-
were to seek out the allied

RUSS To BE RID OF
HUN DOMINATION
Will Resume Her Place On
Battle Line, So Say
Officials.

San Francisco. May 1S.-Russia
will retake her place on the battleline
actively resisting the Huns march
toward world-domination.
Out of the Kaleidoscope of misfor-
nation and obscurity shrouding Rus
sian developments, has just come au-
thoritive word from Charles d. Tode-
bush, late director of finances in the
American embassy at Petrograd, who
after two months trip across Siberia
and the Pacific, arrived here on the
liner China.
He believes that there is hope that
the great nation of 1856, 100000 souls
will rise from under the Teuton heel,
take up the sword once more and do
her share in turning back the invader.
Slavery Threatens.
There are indications" said Tode-
bush, that the Russians-not pratic-
ularly any one class or political fac
ton but the entire population, will
rise up and renew opposition to the
Germans. They must do it or lapse
into abject slavery as a nation.
when the time comes, Russia will
assert herself and take her place
again as a power, fighting not for
monarchical form of government but
for the kind of national life which
N-h hn
urges us to make the world safe for
democracy
''Of one thing l am certain. Ash
attic Russia which we know as Siberia,
will take on Republican form of
government. E;z. y, :--.-5..' "J.rysl,
, "All the signs point that way.
" Its a wonderful country, rich and, !
can truthfully say, progressive. !
Whatever be the fate OF European
Russia, it is safe to predict that ST.
IBERIA will move solidly along the path
of democracy. At that these people
must have help from the outside
preferably from us.
United States Must Help.
And there are no two ways about it.
The United States must lend power
full, sympathetic aid.
Organized opposition to the Ger
mans, no matter from what source,
should be encouraged and aided by
this nation. The Russians look to us
more than to any other power Amer
lea is, to them, their sincere friend,
and the best duty we can perform is
to support any real move they may
make, tending to their re-entry into
the war"
Tpdebush paid a tribute to his
chief, Ambassador David R. Francis,
who he declared, had handled Amer
lean interests in storm-tossed Russia
with greater success than even his
warmest admirers hoped that he
could He said:
The ambassador demonstrated
that he was a diplomat without
peer. Through all the cross-currents ,
of those days of decentralization in
Petrograd and Moscow, he steered a
course-a shrewd caurse- .
and our position as a nation to-day
in Russia may well be laid to the
doors of the tactful representative"

3 SHOvELFULS OF
COAL EACH DAY
is SET AS QUOTA

Philadelphia, March 1S-Danger of
a continued scarcity of coal and the
necessity of conservation of supply
during the summer was emphasized
by the anthracite general committee
here today. The committee disclosed
that there are only three tons Of do
mestic coal on an average, for every
consumer The statement which
serves as a wal ming against boarding,
says,
with the fuel administration sug-
gesting to the anthracite consuming
public that they order their next
winters supply of coal after April 1,
the inference should not be taken
that coal is plentiful now and that
yards are stacked UP with it.
1.-THE total population of the an
thracite burning area, which includes
New England and the middle Atlantic
states, is 32,S77,609. If merely 25,-
100000 of this total would be taken
for basis, it would mean that there
would be three tons to every con-
sumer there having been 10000
tons of anthracite mined in 1917.
Three tons, of 6,720 pounds,
makes 672 shovels at 10 pounds for
an average For the 240 days in the
coal year this would mean about three
shovelfuls "a day as the burning
quota for each person, to equalize
last years output"
