AIRPIANES NEED CASTOR OIL AND SCOUTS
 ARE GROWING IT.

The Boy Scouts of America are also raising the castor oil bean. This is by government request.
 Their enthusiasm in increasing the available amount of castor oil in the country was awakened when it was found that the government needed it for the army airplanes which some day will be flying by thousands over the German lines.
 W. W. Stockbridge of the Depart ment of Agriculture says it is hoped to secure a large crop of castor beans to be used in the production of oil necessary for the airplane service.
 Castor oil appears to be the most satisfactory lubricant which has yet been found for certain types of air plane engines, and for this reason the War Department finds it necessary to secure much larger supplies ot castor oil than have hitherto been available.

Feeling In Washington That Force

London Germany Is striking swift

TO the Austrian note inviting all the
belligerents to hazy peace confer
ence and a proposition that all the
powers should withdraw their troops
from the Murrnan coast, on the Arctic,
west OF Archangel, Berlin has made
definite peace offer to Belgium In
which there is no word Of reparation
or indemnity, no confession or admis-
sion that Germany has wronged Bel
gium by the destruction Of her cities
and the murder of her noncombatant
population.
Ii is apparent that Germany realizes
now that soon or late she must with
draw from Belgium, and If she could
obtain a treaty which would bar Bel
gan territory to the allies troops and
aircraft II would add enormously to
the difficulties of attacks by the allies
against German territory and cities
and would rob the allies Of the ad-
yantages accruing from the use OF a
Belgian jumping off place, while Ger
many escapes any sort Of payment for
the crimes she has committed.
The trick In the Murman coast pro-
posal lies in the fact that while the al
lies are well established there Ger
man troops are far distant and the

assist the Germans and attack the al
lies

lish a separate and distinct office.
with several clerks to handle the ex-
press matter.
The Algiers people may rest assured
that Mayor Behrman will do his
share in helping to keep this express
office in our town. The Mayor was
notified in the letter that due notice
of the date, on which the matter will
be taken up for consideration will be
sent him. We will watch for the
time and we will ask the Algiers peo-
pie who know something about how
the express office is handled for our
side of the river, be present at the
meeting of the Railroad Commission.
The Herald will make an effort
through the Mayors influence to
have this hearing before the Rail-
road Commission held in New Or
leans, instead of Baton Rouge in or
der to give us an opportunity to pre-
sent our case in an intelligent way.
We desire to say to all of our rea-
ders who are interested in the well
fare Of Algiers to try to remember
the different express packages they
have received not through the Algiers
office, but through notices received
through the city office. All these
instances will be good evidence for
our case before the Railroad Com
mission. We would also desire to
know of the number of packages sent
out of AIgiers, through the city Of
fee. Any information along this
line. that will help our case before
the Railroad Commission should be
made note Of, so that the information
can be used as evidence when this
case is taken up before the commits
sion.
