Navy Department Tells Of
Fighting Near the Clouds.

Ensign Stephen Potter, United
States Naval Reserve Force. killed In
action with German planes April
25 last, was the first American ma
val aviator to shoot down and de-
stroy a German seaplane, according
to a Navy Department statement.
The report states that on March
10, 1918, a long distance reconnais-
ance Of the German coast was made
by large American flying boats OPP
Grating from a British Royal Air
Force station. Ensign Potter was
one of the two American naval avi-
ators accompanying this expedition,
and Potter was successful In shoot
ing down a German seaplane which
attacked the reconnaissance forma-
ton. A second enemy seaplane
found safety in running away.
Potters death reflects credit OF
his courage. He was killed in q
fight with even enemy single-seat-
ers. He was second pilot to a Brit
ish Air Force captain, who was with
him when he shot down the German
plane in March. Two British planes
had flown to a point 6 miles from
Hinder Light, when two enemy
planes headed toward them. The
British planes closed on the nearest
German and opened fire. Two more
hostile planes then appeared o
head and attacked vigorously. while
three other enemy planes passed
astern. The, two British planes
dived and speeded westward under
continuous volleys from the rear
One of the Germans disappeared.
OF the seven German planes In
action, four were attacking Potter.

suddenly to a huge cloud of smoke.

Secretary McAdoo has called upon
all local draft boards to acquaint
drafted men with the provisions of
the soldier-insurance law and to
urge every drafted man to take out
this insurance. The boards have
been furnished with literature to
aid them in this educational work.
The law affording insurance to
our fighting forces has well been
called the most just and humane
provision " made by q nation for
Its soldiers and sailors. The Gov
eminent and the American people
recognize the justice Of affording
to the men who risk their lives for
their country and to their families
and dependents at home. 1t is only
just to themselves and their fami-
lies and dependents that our fight
ing men avail themselves Of this
opportunity.

The democratic administration
has deliberately deceived the Ameri-
can people. STOPPING to the most
shameful depths of cheap politics to
win votes. HE Kept Us Out or
War; for example. When this ma
ton was lettering and Germany was
already warning on us, numbering
u citizens. destroying our proper
ty. and by duplicity trying to in
volve us in war with Mexico and
Japan. Wilson was not to proud to
practice political trickery to advance
Wilson. Now Wilson would tram
pie the third term under foot as a
scrap of paper" because nobody
but Wilson is capable of running
this country,-according to the Will
son machine. With the war as an
excuse Mr.. Wilson would retain his
power. and his army of appointees
hold their jobs for the Lord alone
knows how long. They are MAX
ing the World Safe for Democrats"

We read much of man power these
days; human power is q better term,
because 1t emphasizes the fact that
the and children also consti-
tute a great factor in this war. In
the final victory every man, m
and child in America can and should
have a part.
In comparing the man power OF
Germany with that of the United
States is must be born In mind that
a much larger proportion of the
manual labor of the man power OF
the Nation is performed. Is exerted
by the German women than by the
women of America. 1t is said that
in peace times the women constitut-
ed about AZ per cent of the agricul-
tural and industrial labor of Ger
many. They work in the fields. in
the factories, in the mines, at the
very hardest and most labOriOus
tasks, doing the work only done by
men in this country. With aQyreat
proportion Of the German men In
army, 1t is not Improbable that wo-
men now constitute by far the lar
ger half of German manual labor.
The in the nited States
are nobly, unselfishly. manfully. one
may say. bearing their share of the
burdens of war. BY are grace Of
God and the power and courage Of
America the fate of the German wo-
men is not and will never be theirs.
| But it will be with their assistance
and cooperation and their full as
sum ption Of the burdens and duties
of the day that the United States
is to exert its full power in Kidding
the world of that intolerable Ger
man kulture which makes brute
