ice in the District National Guard.

MAJ. RICE SAYS PLANES
WILL WIN THE CONFLICT
Press Club Il Told Not to Believe
Tales Of Discussions In
Germany.

Predicting that aeroplanes will end
the war, Mai. Cushman A. Rice in an
address last night at the National
Press Club urged America to send a
mobile army Of diversified aircraft to
hasten the conclusion Of the conflict.
Maj. Cushman has just returned from
tho western front. where he was in
command of tho American niers with
the British.
Although he still was suffering from
the effects Of being "gassed" at
Amiens. which affected his voice
somewhat. Maj. Cushman entertained
the newspapermen and their friends
for more than an hour and half.
The Army officer expressed the be-
lief that the allies must beat Ger
many at lighting and not put too
much faith in reports emanating from
Prussian propaganda that the Huns
are short Of lubricants and oil and In
dire need of food. He deplored the
fact that SO many Americans seemed
to be of the opinion that the Germans
were already defeated economically.

Still Living

We've lived to see the great
est scrap that ever Jared the
mundane map. Four years ago.
in padded ways, we spent our
money-hunting days. Some
prophets stood around and said
that balmy peace would soon be
dead. They paved the air, it
made them weep that other ma
tions seemed asleep, while at
their forges busy Huns were
making swords and bombs and
guns. go to, false prophets !"
we exclaimed; you really ought
to be ashamed to rend your
boards and say that peace, the
precious boon, will ever cease.
We're civilized, we have ad-
vanced; the world is now so cir
cumstanced that every nation
only asks a chance to do its use
full tasks, to bale its hay and put
up ice, and see it always has the
price. No government is so in
sane that it has conquest on the
brain, so chase yourselves. 0
dippy seers, and let us yoke our
brindled steers" Four years ago
we talked like this! Who said
that ignorance is bliss? Our
ignorance has cost a lot since
we were handing out such rot.
We've lived to see the planet
torn, we've lived to see the ma
tions mourn. And we shall live
to see the Hun, who wished a
ge-place in the sun, into the
outer darkness cast and groping
in a horror vast.

GIVES $4,000 TO
COUNTY SANATORIUM

The will of the late Col. John Hicks
of Oshkosh gives $4,000 to the Winnie
bago County Tuberculosis Sanatorium.
DR. Z. l.. Harrington, president of the
Wisconsin Anti Tuberculosis Associa-
ton, says:
"Great as will be the immediate
good done through strengthening the
Winnebago County Institution, the be-
quest has far greater value. By leav-
ing so large a share of his modest for
tune to this definite work for the relief
of suffering and the protection of hu-
manity, Col. Hicks has pointed out to
other men of wealth field of service
for the money which they leave behind
them, that up to this time has been
practically unrecognized. To the think
ing man it is field which must make
strong appeal for in no way can man
serve his posterity so well as by helping
to make the world safer, healthier
place to live in."
