pendent in discussing this phase Of
airwork. that never before was the
need Of the air force for trained men
and finished material so urgent as
it is today" He added: 1T has
been said loosely that the allies are
masters OF the air and have achiev-
ed supremacy in flying. But the
aerial sieuatiOn is too fluid to justify
such words. AS a cold fact, COM
plete mastery OF the air could only
come If there were no German ma
chimes able to take the air.
Superiority is another matter,
and 1t is true that at the moment
this may be claimed by the allies.
For example, the British record Of
bombs dropped IN April shows
twelve to one against the Germans
The present superiority can be
maintained and must be maintained,
not only on general grounds, but
particularly for the development Of
the new tactics Of the low-flying
airplane.
What is needed Is moro machines
and more trained men, and 1t is the
people, the men and women Of the
allied countries, who in the last an
alysis must give or withhold effec-
tive superiority in the air"

ShibbWjIder:S at
Portland Get
So TO 20 d Day

Fergus Falls, Mimi, July 24.-C. J.
Rose, formerly of this city, but for
the past eight years g. resident OF
portland, Oregon, is here from st.
Cloud to visit relatives. He came
east to assist his father who owns
the wooden mill at st. Cloud and is
running it night and day with about
so people employed.
Mr.. Rose says the Pacific coast
country has had tremendous awak-
ening since the war began. At one
time Portland was full Of vacant
houses. Now there is not a house
to be found and everyone is too
busy to build.
Enormous numbers Of men are
engaged in ship building. and they
are making from Sc to $40 per day.
The wages are so high that doctors
and lawyers have closed their Of
fees and merchants have closed
their stores and gone to work in the
yards. Even helpers make up to SO
per day. Experienced men have been
hard to get, and he talked to one
experienced riveter, a few days be-
fore he left Portland who informed
him that he was making $40 per day
and working only six hours a day.
Notwithstanding such wages as
this. the skilled workers have gone
on strikes and tied the ship
building. President Wilson promised
them a bonus OF ten per cent and
some other concessions and it is be-
lieved that the strikes are now
settled.
NTrs Rose says there is going to be
tremendous development in Oregon
when the war is over. There is an
unbelievable amount Of valuable
timber there, and 1irnitless water
power, and the demand for lumber
after the war will be such that this
vast region will be tapped which
will mean great prosperity in the
coast country.

Behind British Lines in France,
June Correspondence Of The
Associated Press. 1.-The uses Of the
airplanes as an auxiliary to infantry
in action are being continually ex-
tended. 1t Is the opinion Of mill
fary leaders here that the need for
more and more machines and train
ed men is shown by the success of
the low-flying airplanes in Operat-
ing against the Germans during the
past two months.
On the western front, this spring
two faCtors-German recklessness
of life and the success of the allies
in holding back the German airmen
gave the opportunity of develop
ing on a large scale this method Of
harassing attack.
The success of the low-flying air
planes is Of two kinds-the slaught-
er they infltct and secondly, the dis
organization they cause. The sec
ond factor is Of more Importance
than most people realize. An uneX
pected check to troops on march is
always troublesome. Men wonder
what has happened. Suddenly bombs
begin to fall, men are killed, horses
stampede, wagons are smashed and
the road blocked. Until the allied

the Irresistible implication that the
German planes have failed to drive
them off, the psychological effect is
very severe.
The work of the British airmen
received a tribute in n recent issue Of
the Berlin Vorwa erts, which was
captured in a raid on the German
trenches. The German newspaper,

said: Never before have the Eng

they are doing in their present re-

UnCOUe7~ Fraud
In Contracts For
Army Supplies
(Bv Associated Press.l

Washington, July 24.-Fraud and
gross profiteering have been uncover
ed in many contracts for army shoes,
shirts, leggins and other soldiers
supplies and equipment as a result Of
investigation by army intelligence
and department of justice agents, it
das learned today.
Information shedding light on
methods by which manufacturers
are able to evade rigid inspection
tests and pass inferior articles to
fill government contracts, is under
stood to have been gathered from
new confessions Of some Of the rain
coat contractors under arrest in New
York, charged with bribery, fraud or
conspiracy.
Action will be taken against other
manufacturers as rapidly as specific
proof Of fraud is developed, it was
said. Officials plan to give publicity
to the practices without undertaking
criminal prosecutions in some cases.
The reason for this, it was explain
ed, is that government agents have
evidence of irregularity and prof
iteering in hundreds of contracts
without the substantiatiOn proof on
which conviction might be based.

The motto Of the W. C. T. u, For
God, For Home, For Native Land,

American soldier, For God, for home,

He expressed a wish that each
man who goes forth to give his all
for the cause of freedom. may
take with him the inspiration of a
mothers smile, the memory Of a
fathers blessing, and the benediction
Of the whole country.
Mrs. r. M. Pollock made a charm
ing presentation speech in behalf Of
the w. G. T. u, who presented each
man with a comfort kit.
ANY boy who stands forth in
times like these and says Here am
I; send me- is a hero, To be an
American, is greater than to be a
king" said Mrs. Pollock.
In spite Of the Germans contempt
for our flag which is Of the same
flag, they are forced to admit that
when they saw our flag, they saw
stars" said Mrs. Pollock.
During the distribution Of the
comfort kits, Emil Chaser, represent
ing the z. M. c. A, gave brief ad-
dress in which he urged the boys to
make use of the Y. M. G. A. at any
and all times. The z. M. C. A. will
be on the troop train, waiting at
camp. at port, when they sail, in
France when they land. and in the
trenches all during the fight, ready
and anxious to do anything and ev-
erything for the boys. The whole
aim Of this organization is to be of
unselflsh service to the soldiers.
The program was concluded by

audience, led by Prof. A. ]. Stevens.

BETTER LET THIS sEEP IN.

It does not seem 70 be generally understood by en-
ployment agents operating in this region that from the
time the government employment Office was estab-
lshed. no one has q right 10 recruit labor in this terri
tory from any source.
Just a few days ago, word came to government men
that labor agents were quietly picking up men out Of
East Chicago for transportation to Michigan and to other
points. Needless TO say. these agents were at once ap-
pretended and were given a warning 20 get out of zhe
territory. Their names were sent to Indianapolis and
to ashington and they will be severely dealt with should
there be any repetition of this ofense.
From the time the Lake county employment bureau
occupied its quarters at the East Chicago city hall, all
recruiting of labor must pass through is hands. The
word all" IS used advisedly inasmuch as East Chicago
and Indiana Harbor are now on a hundred per cent war
basis That is, every industry in the city IS working
either directly or indirectly on war orders.
No individual nor firm nor agency can have anything
TO do with The recruiting or placement OF labor in East
Chicago and the quicker the general public recognizes
this fact. the less are such individuals or firms or agen
cies likely TO get into trouble with federal authorities.

LESS BAGGAGE

Travelling statesmen are asked to carry less baggage
r the wholesale houses do not voluntarily cut down the

Last year there we're 2~4.oOo.0oo sample trunks car

general burden effects a desirable saving of labor. equip

ever. for limiting the number Of trunks. There are no
longer enough baggage cars to carry them. There are
only 1900 baggage cars altogether in the country, and a
great many OF them have been Withdrawn and made over
