PLAN HOLY LAND REPUBLIC.
Convention Outlines It's Scheme to Re.

Chicago, Jan. Am idealistic" re-
public is what Zionists would choose
for the Holy land. There will be CO.
operative government, with land spec
ulation forbidden and the rights of the
individual strictly conserved. And
1886 volunteers-eXactly the same
number of men who returned TO Pal

destruction OF Babylon--will be asked

These plans were debated and de-
cided at yesterdays session OF the
convention of the Federated Zionist
societies OF the middle west. II was
also decided that the men who shall
visit the Holy Land and make plans for
its rehabilitation shall be selected. pro-

organizations of, the country This
resolution, however, is only advisory.

LIVING COST YEARS GROWTH.
Necessities Increase AZ to 81 Per Cent
Experts Calculate.

Chicago, Jan. 2.-The cost Of living
in 1917 made an average increase OF
a to 81 per cent, according to the ex-
pert on index numbers. The increase
over 1915 is in the neighborhood OF 20
per cent and over 1914 is slightly more.
Bradstreet's, Dun's. the Annalist and
other agencies and publications which
compile index numbers differ some be-
cause of the number and kind OF COM
modities used. While one limits its
numbers to articles of food, another
takes in cost Of selected clothing and
fuel: but the percentage Of increase
does not vary very far.
The figures given above do not take
into consideration the change in diet
which is taking place since the war
started. The percentages refer only
to the increase in price Of the same
commodities over the periods indi-
Gated. In European countries at war
some statisticians take into consider
alton the substitution of one food for
another and attempt to reckon the in
creased cost Of living accordingly.
Many persons believe that the cost
Of living has been gradually increas
ing since the war started and has
been going upward by leaps and
bounds since the United States en-

TROUBLES FOR AIRMEN.
Anti -Aircraft Barrage Most Dreaded
Enemy Weapon.

| by the Associated PresS.I
I Somewhere in France, Dec, 1S.-The
| anti AIRCRAFT barrage is today the most
| dreaded enemy weapon which the arr
man has to face in his fights over the
! lines. In the midst Of sea Of burst
ing shells. the airplane hobs up ana
down like a ship in a violent storm
| The conclusions which the shells make
| in bursting produce a swift succession
| of air pockets and air bumps, and 1t is
absolutely impossible to keep ma
| chine steady thru them. Meanwhile
there Is the strain OF knowing always
that the next instant one Of the thou
sands OF flying shell spl!nters may
reach a vital spot in either machine or
pilot.
Yet it is not possible to avoid flying
thru barrage at times. The latest type
of anti-aircraft guns can place bar
rage as high as $4,000 feet, and 1t Is
not practical to turn about and try
to climb over the barrage. II takes

The longer III 49, -. hesitates to
run the barrage. the longer he is expos

at the front has now reached point
where the range Is calculated TO a nice
ty almost instantaneously by processes
of tr.angulation and, therefore, the
flyer who hesltates is lost. The only
thing he can do is TO take his chance,
just as a ship at sea takes storm
and accepts its chances of weathering
the gale.
Next to the barrage, the most feared
of the ground defenses is the cluster.

The side-siip is the favorite protec-
ton against these clusters. The anti
aircraft gunners get their range now
adays so accurately that the slightest
move out OF range is fairly certain to
get the machine out Of dangers way
unless the gunnen have anticipated
this move, as they sometimes do, by
placing another cluster at the most
likely spot for an expected side-slip.
The side slip is produced by tipping

flying ahead, lithering over sideways.
