Judging by his article printed in well
known weekly publication, Howard +
Coffin, the director of airplane activity
in the United States, is not chatting under
a censorship. The article does well as an
inspiration to Americans but at the same
time it is giving our enemies some first
hand information about some of the ex-
traordinary efforts being made by the
United States along the line of airplane
construction. No direct and positive Sc
erets were released but enough informa
ton was distributed to acquaint Ger
many with the progress of events in the
United States. We should say that the
article was very interesting but entirely

The Caterpillar Weather Sign.

We have been having sample of real
winter weather. Even the oldest inhabi-
tant is puzzled No such thermometer
records have been reported in years
1t may be on account of the war. We
imagine this is just about the kind of
weather the kaiser would like TO have
manufactured for us. This is surely an
unusual time. Herbert Kaufman calls
attention to the fact that the first shot
fired across the Belgium frontier smashed
the clock. From that instant civilization
has been without timepieee or regula-
tor. Regular hours and usual things no
longer exist. Necessity, in desperation,
has put even night into overalls This
may account for the weather.
1t is great time for weather prophets
as well as war profits.
Here's an optimistic weather prophecy
A man came into The Republican office
the other day and delivered himself of
this: We'll, it's cold. but we're having
the coolest weather the first OF the win
ter, just as ! said it could be last fall
Did you notice the caterpillarsg Well,
when the front half of the caterpillar is
darker than the back part as it was last
fall, it's a sure sign that the coolest part
OF the winter comes first" This was a
new one. Wen watch out and everybody
