Airplanes at last! A special correspond ent for newspaper that has all along bit terly attacked the government for the fail ure of its air program, comes through clean and declares that production at the Dayton, Ohio, factory has now reached total of seven planes and over day, and over one hundred two-seated battle and bombing planes have been delivered in France. The Dayton plant manufactures a plane known as the DeHavilahd. driven by the Liberty motor, and 1t has the class of anything in Europe. Another American plant Is making planes at the rate of thirty a day and two other plants have a capacity right now of ten each. By August this correspondent declares, after personal in vestigation, we will have over two thou sand planes in France When it IS consid- cred that at no time during the war has either side been able to muster over twenty five hundred planes, it will be understood what two thousand American planes will mean to the allies, who already have the mastery of the air to marked extent. Allied bombing operations have been vital factor the past few weeks in off setting German masses of troops and ar. tilery With two thousand fresh planes added, this preponderance will become ab- solutely vital in its effect upon the 1918 campaign.

By massing heavy forces in sectors along the line that had been quiet lately, the Ger mans succeeded in making considerable advance in the Rheims sector and in maui ing the thin lines of French ard British troops quite severely. No use disguising the fact. However, when reserves came up the advance was stopped If the Ger mans have really taken Chemin des Danes and can hold 1t, this is a hard blow The advantage always lies with the offensive forces, for they can mass troops at a given spot and win initial successes if they care to pay for them. These reverses and these critical periods for the safety of the allied lines may be expected to continue through the year and until such time as the balance of power in the matter of men and artillery swings from the German to the allied side of the battle front And this will not be until America gets into the game with somewhere near her proportionate share of strength.

Our Fallen BraUe
(MemoriaI Day, ts1s)
FORE-WORD.


 FORE-WORD:
 Strictly. speaking, Memorial Day is set apart for the purpose of honoring the memory of Northern soldiers who lost their lives during the Civil War. But now that We are engaged in a i great world war and there is no North nor South, nor East nor West, but just one great country fighting the battle | Of freedom, l feel that this Memorial Day will. in the hearts of the Ameri- can people, be a day of the larger memorial in which, while they pay homage to the brave men of the Civil War. their thoughts will also go out to embrace all those, who from the beginning to the present, have. died that our country might live and that the ideals which gave uNs breath and for which we are now fighting should not perish. With this thought in mind the lines ITO Our Fallen Brave" were written. .s Our thoughts today are turned to you,
 Our Honored Dead, Who by your death gave to your coun-
 try, life. ,-s BeyOnu our touch your bodies lie in
 hallowed graves, Yet never was your presence nearer
 nor your spirit stronger upon us. We feel the throb of your blood-the
 mighty pulsation Of that giant artery of Freedom which
 stretches from Lexington and Val
 ley Forge
 To those who now rest in the shadow
 of the Scottish cliffs And under the sacred soil of the once
 fair fields of France. Our hearts are quickened and our
 breasts grow warm with the fire
 of Liberty,
 That holy fire-kindled by your hands,
 nourished by your sacrifice And by our memory ever kept aglow
 within us From you we gather strength that in
 this World Struggle We shall prove true to the heritage
 you have given us That we may not falter in this, the
 Battle for Greater Freedom, The Freedom of Humanity. What though the battle grow long and
 the fight be hard Has not suffering and sacrifice ever
 been the price of Liberty and
 Freedom?
 The price you paid was heavy-almost
 too heavy; yet you did not falter. And we shall not falter-for we know
 that you are with us And that He who guided you ard who
 ever guides those in the right Is now guiding us-and we go forward unafraid
 Willing to risk our all-ready to stand or to fall
 Battling for the cause for which you battled-for Freedom and for Liberty.
 VIM. A. DELL,
 Bisbee, Arizona. Note: Tn the shadow of the Scottish Cliffs" refers to those who lost their lives on the ill-fated "Tuscania."

It Is not only sign of bad citizenship and viciousness and ignorance to curse the Red Cross these days in America, but it is dangerous as well. A man in Flint Michi gan, cursed this organization the other day and refused to subscribe cent to its work and aims, and he was ducked in pond and then painted yellow and led through the streets and chained to a post in the public square while the Red Cross held meeting nearby.

Memorial Day

the decoration of the graves of Northern soldiers who had fought on the side of the Union in the Civil War But Americans were too big and broad to hold sectional holiday and call 1t national, and within few years the graves of Confederate as well as Union soldiers were decorated generally on Memorial Day. About this time the famous Blue and Gray poem was print ed.
 Under the sod and the dew,
 Waiting the judgement day;
 Under the laurel the blue,
 Under the willow the gray
 And then came the Spanish war, and after that Memorial day came in deed and in truth to be national day. But this year with the great world war raging, and two million Americans under arms, and two million more to be called before this time next year, Memorial Day has come to be a day of days in America. And no longer will it be only day of blossoms and the parade to the white city beyond the town where the green mounds mark the earthly end of man. Alas, our soldier dead in this war sleep in the famous fields of France. The ocean waves roll between them and these home shores. Therefore, the day has come to be one of prayer; has come to be a day of thought and pride and sorrow mingled An, by all means let us cut the blossoms and bear them in our hands to the graves of those we love. And there, with pended knee and uplifted face, let us breathe prayer for soldier boy in France and dedicate to him blossom.
 Whether he be the quick or the dead, it matters not on this day It is the Soldier Day. A day of memorial for the living as well as the dead. A memorial for all ab- sent ones who brave dangers in a far land for their country cause. A prayer, tear, a fond hope and token.
 Every winter the flowers die and every returning spring they bud and bloom again as token of the resurrection. Hence we plant and place them on the graves of loved ones gone before. Somewhere in France a lily close by an English rose, thus goes the song. And the Scotch thistle and the Irish shamrock are there, too Yes, and the American Beauty rose. So let us all gather blossom today and carry it to a hallowed spot, or wear 1t in token of a memory, or press it to our lips as beauti- ful bud of hope that some one will come back again.
 Soldiers Day. Let us thank God that this nation still breeds brave men who will give and do and die for cause This is their day. Their very own. For, though these boys in khaki who march and fight and mount guard today, some of them may not die for forty years, but for every one of them this IS day apart and will some time be devoted to one and all who wore their country's livery upon honor's field.
 Let us also thank God today for our close union of heart and hand in common cause. Never day since the Boston Tea Party has the dawn witnessed such close communion of every class and race and condition of American citizenship in a noble endeavor that has for its ultimate aim the good of all as 1t witnesses this day.
