TEXAS CATTLE
EAT WINGS OF
TWO AIRPLANES
Order Is Issued That Avi-
ators Must Stick With
"Ships,'.' Result
(By Associated Presg.)

Dallas, Tex. May 25.-Discovery
that Texas cattle will eat the wings
of an airplane. If the machine is left
unguarded is one Of the reasons why
a general order to stick with the
machine, no matter what happens"
Is impressed upon every cadet ayia-
tor training in Texas. The cadets
are instructed particularly never to
leave their ships" in fields no mat
ter how far from the travelled road.
The fact that COWS have an appe
tite for airplanes was discovered
only after one or two machines had
suffered real loss from discriminating
Texas cattle.
The wide, supporting planes are
covered with a cellulous preparation
that makes them air tight, known in
the technique of flying as dope"
and dope" makes as tasty q meal
for cows as the bovines have dis
covered for a long time. 1t softens
under their tongues and the cattle
in their eagerness to obtain it, will
chew the expensive linen planes to
pieces to extract the last particle
of dope" flavor.
Another reason for the order is
that an airplane is valuable piece
parts offering an attractive invita-
ton to looters If one were left IN
protected in a lonely field or on a
road,
Souvenir hunters, however, are
muchmore feared than thieves. Avia~
tors who have made forced landings
while on cross country flights. say
it requires their utmost Viliganca to
keep curious spectators from break
ing UP their ships and carrying
them away piecemeal, so eager are
the country people for souvenirs.
An aviator landed recently in a
wheat field not far from here. The
curiosity and interest in him was so
great that in less than an hour, the
field was so crowded that the owner
Of the ground had to ask, the Dallas
police to clear the field to prevent
his growing crops from being stamp
ed into a. total loss.

THYSsEN KING OF
GERMAN INDUSTRY

August Thyssen is the cap
tain general of German indus
try. He may be compared to
sort Of blend between Charles
NJ. Schwab of the Bethlehem
Steel works and the late ]. Pier
pont Morgan, and has often been
described as the king of the
steel, iron and coal industries Of
central Europe. He was bitterly
opposed TO the present war. An
ardent advocate of the interna-
tionalism of commerce. Thyssen
possessed until the beginning of
the war the huge mines, iron
works. docks. and even harbors,
in British India. in other Eng
lish colonial independencies, as
we'll as in France and in Russia,
all Of which have been seques-
trated by the governments Of
these three powers as property
belonging to the German foe.
Thyssen is about 78, in every
sense of the word a self-made
man, having started soma so
years ago with q capital Of
$4,000.

casion of bestowing upon certain IA
vored and wealthy men some Of the
most desirable residences in Eng
land. but of this 1 have no actual
proof.
Every trade and interest was ap-
pealed to. Huge indemnities were,
of course. to be levied on the con-
quered nations. and the fortunate
German manufacturers were. by this
means. practically to be relieved Of
taxation for years after the war.
Promises Are Definite.
These promises were not vaguely
given. They were made definitely
by Bethmann-H ollweg, on behalf of
the emperor. to gatherings of bust
ness men, and in many cases to in
dividuals.
I have mentioned the promise of
grant OF 10000 acres in Australia
shat was made to me. Promises OF
a similar kind were made to at least
70 other persons at special inter-
views with the chancellor, and all
particulars Of these promises were
entered in a book at the trades de-
partment.
But not only were these promises
made by the chancellor; they were
confirmed by the emperor, who on
three occasions addressed large pri-
vate gatherings Of business men in
Berlin. Munich and Cassel in 1912
and 1913. 1 was at one of these
gatherings. The emperor's speech
was one Of the most fiowery orations
I have listened to. and so profuse
were the promises he made. that,
were even half of what he promised
to be fulfilled most of the CONNER
cial men in Germany would become
rich beyond the dreams Of avarice.
The emperor was particularly en-
thusiastic over the coming German
conquest of India. india" he said,
us occupied by the British. 1t is in
a way governed by the British, but
1t Is by no means completely gov
erned by them. We shall not merely
occupy India. We shall conquer it,
and the vast revenues that the Brit
ish allow to be taken by Indian
princes will, after our conquest. flow

WORK DURING AIR RAIDS
Ambulance Drivers Without Lights
In Paris Carving Wounded

Air raids in Paris often mean
wounded rushed into the caves and
catacombs, and a hurry call to Amer
lean Red Cross doctors and nurses
for under ground service.
st have been in q number Of air
raids" said Robert 7. Harris, recent
ly back from Paris" and I want to
say that the American workers have
conducted themselves in an admirable
manner. The ambulance drivers have
to speed without lights on such oc-
casions, and it requires not only the
utmost efficiency, but great nerve.
Bursting shells fall all around the
ambulance men. The rush in air
raids, of course. is to get the woun-
ded into caves. Inside these caves
are hundreds of persons and physi-
clans working over the wounded by
candle light.
During one raid the ambulance
corps was ordered to clear the hos
pital during the bombardment. The
corps had no maps to show the way
out of the town. A little French wo-
man promptly volunteered, and with
her as guide, over streets filled with
abandoned trolley cars and wagons
covered with broken glass and rub
Dish, the anbulances made three trips
and in three hours cleared the hos
pitfalls"

But to do this they had to get the

of a man who would be first out of
a hundred to volunteer to break a
bucking bronco if occasion requir-
ed. There is a suggestion of the
late Fighting Bob Evans in his
manner and appearance.
I'm going to do the work and

People Expected Too Much.

General Kenly paid high tribute

to the progress so far made under

Window Value Of Clock in Potato
Display.


An Ohio grocer in displaying po-.
tatoes in his show window made eff
fective use Of a large clock. He put
the clock in the center and sur
rounded it with we'll cleaned, choice
potatoes. Several placards were
scattered around, showing the food
values of potatoes, and how through
their use wheat may be saved for
the allies and our fighting forces
abroad.
In explaining the psychological eff
feet of the clock, he said. we all
need to know the hour many times a
day; in fact, we often glance at a
clock. even when we don't really care
what time it is. Quite often when
we see somebody else looking at a.
clock we are Immediately filed with
curiosity to know the time ourselves.
Most Of us invariably look at the
clock in the city hall tower or in
front OF the. jewelry shop whether we
carry a watch or not. People who
look at my clock one day are apt
to do so every day IL I make the eff
fort to keep 1T set accurately. When
they look In the window for the time,
they cannot fail to see the admoni-
ton from the Food Administration
to use potatoes for wheat. This ex-
pertinent has worked out quite sue
cessfully for me. and I expect to use
it extensively in all Of nay future
window display Work."

as Dutch. American. or Spanish"
Finds Germans Outcasts.
So this is the prospect we are
faced with after the war. The
meaning of this circular in plain Ian
guage is this: So loathed and hated
have Germans become outside their
own country that no one will want
to have any personal dealings with
them after the war.
A large number of businesses are,
moreover, being secretly bolstered
up with state aid. A condition Of
this aid is that the owners of the
businesses receiving it shall agree
to accept O. considerable degree of
state control over their business af-
ter the war.
This is part and parcel Of a plan
on the part Of the Hohenzollerns to
get the commercial classes thorough
ly in their grip before the end Of
chances Of a revolution.
Those men who have agreed to ac-
cept aid now for their businesses,
and state control after the war, have
received a notification from the for
eign trade department to the effect
that, with proper organization, Ger
many ought to recover her pre-war
trade three years after peace is de-
clared. Here is the HohenzoIlern
method Of redeeming promises. We
are to get back our pre-war trade
three years after peace is declared
and to do this we must submit to
have our trading transactions con-
trolled and supervised by the state
Can any German to whom such
prospects are held out by the en-
peror fail to see that he has been
bamboozled and humbugged and
fooled into supporting war from
which the utmost we can hope to
gain is to come out Of it without
national bankruptcy?

MILLING EXTRACTION OF FLOUR

In the United States today, "A per
cent of the wheat berry is turned
into flour in milling. In England,
France, and Italy it ranges from Is
to 50 or SO per cent. One disadvant-
age Of this higher extraction is the
greater chance Of loss from spelling.
A large percentage of our wheat is
exported and must be durable. In
addition, flour now milled in those
countries contains a greater amount
OF roughage and is not so palatable.
In America we have a great demand
for the bran and offal as feed for
livestock, which the lower percent
age Of extraction provides.

POTATO FLOUR IN ICELAND.

Iceland will make q new departure
this year in the matter OF using po-
tato flour. Already representatives
of that government are sending out
propaganda looking to the general
and extensive planting of potatoes
this year. Since the summer season
is so short in Iceland and other
Arctic countries, the raising Of
grain Is not possible, but its climate
is adapted to the raising Of potatoes.
Plans are being made for the in
stallation Of potato milling machin-
cry, so that in measure Iceland
will in the future be a little more in
dependent OF outsiders for it's fari-
naceous foods. Shortage Of shipping,
with a consequent curtailment of
imports, has made it impossible to
maintain Iceland's wheat supplies.
