got one of the small machines and got
two scatter. The scrap lasted for about
twenty-five minutes and was observed by
the balloons, artillery and infantry, so We
did not have any trouble getting official
confirmation.
We have changed sectors again and
are now up on the North Channel ports
region. When flying at 1000 meters l
can see England, Belgium, Holland, Ger
many, and, of course, France. This is
the most active sector in the front and
tie biggest battle of the war is now being
waged and we wouldn't have missed it for
anything. We were bombed last night,
but while the bombs came pretty close,
none of them landed directly in our field.
However, they made an awful racket and
we all got into the trenches for protection.
On March 10 Capt Collins and myself
brought tiown Boche two seated machine,
but on account of heavy mist and bad
visibility we did not get it confirmed and
were not credited with it, although i am
sure we got him, as smoke was pouring
out of the machine and it was diving YER
tically 10 the ground.
Have attempted to bring down a Hun
observation balloon on two different oe-
oasions, but without success. However,
Just wait and see; am going to get it
the next time. It's a regular picnic going
after them, as they are placed about eight
to ten kilometers behind the Boche lines.
The sky was just black with shrapnel and :
from the way the luminous bullets were
coming up at US from all directions you
would have thought they had all the ma
chine guns in the front turned on us.
However, if we did not get the balloon, we
made the observer jump out and forced
them to haul the balloon down, besides
wasting lot Of ammunition, and I guess
they had nice job patching up the bull
let holes afterward.

Polish Soldiers Are Making Excellent Fighters

~ army, ut is the best" Almost
since the beginning of the war it has been
the ambition of the Poles again to dis
tinguish themselves in the field, regain
their ancient prestige and win from the
world the admission that their services en-

Russia for political reasons discouraged
the idea of distinctive Polish army both

Christopher w. Ford
Tells Graphically
A bout Bringing
Down Three Hun
Machines

Christopher w. Ford of $50 River

the Lafayette Escadrille, fast is ap-
preaching the ACE" class of American
aviators. On March 10 he brought
down two seated Hun machine, but
haze prevented official credit; on March
~ he brought down another, got full
credit and the Croix de Guerre, and
on May IL he brought down an AL
batross- His own story of the aerial

/ WANT to thank you thousand times
L for your generous offer to our fund
which went TO the first boy to bring down
a Hun; this reward went TO Capt. Col
Inns, who was since killed, as he was the
first boy TO bring down a Hun after the
fund was started. Several of the other
boys have brought down Huns since then.
but the fund idea was never renewed.
We have one boy here named Lieut..
Paul +. Baer, who has brought down five
Huns inside of six weeks, a most won
derful record. Capt. Hall (who is now
missing) got another, and / am proud to
say that | got one on March q. and have
been decorated with the Croix de Guerre.
Capt. Biddle also got another, not such
bad record, what do you Think All told
since our escadrille has been formed we
have brought down total of about
seventy enemy planes and, strange to say,
not one of them fell inside our lines; the

in our lines is one which was shot down
and fell to pieces before hitting the

Fourth Estate suddenly that all the mans

Now the legion, which has grown so
fast that it is really an army, is about
TO take its place on the battle line, having
been modified in a great camp named
Sille-le-Guillaume near LIE Mans The
uniform is the same as the French, with
the exception of distinctive headdress,
the "ezapka." The officers are French
men and Poles who have served in France.
II will be news to most Americans that
since the early days of January large
detachments of well drilled Poles have
been arriving in France from the United
States. They are the regiments which
Ignace Paderewski was tireless and

TINE soapweed, or Spanish bayonet,
i flourishes in western Kansas,
southern Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico
and Texas. Until few years ago it was
regarded simply as troublesome weed
Farmer and ranch owner took great pains
TO exterminate it on account of its habit
of spreading over large areas and killing
off other vegetation.
But men of science discovered that what
was despised as q weed is really plant
having market value as a raw material
for soap. The discovery was due to the
fact that for long time Indian and
Mexican women have used decoction Of
soapweed for toilet purposes, particularly
for washing the hair.
1t is especially suited for this purpose
because it is wholly free from alkah.
Soap manufacturers have found it excel
lent for toilet soaps and soaps intended
for washing woollens.
Ordinarily one man can harvest ton
Of soapweed in a day. After cutting the
plants are allowed to dry for two or three
months, and then are baled up In the
ordinary broom corn baling machine.
As result of inquiries from the
United States the feasibility of cultivating
black mint in this country for the pro-
duction Of menthol crystals and oil is the
subject of special report by Vice Consul
E. r. Dickover of Kobe, Japan. 49,
Several attempts to import black mint
plants have been frustrated by the long
journey across the Pacific, during which
the plants have died. Once arrangements
were made with steamer purser TO care
for the plants and they arrived in good
condition, but were killed by disinfection
in entering the country. The consulate
now is attempting to obtain mint seeds,
n difficult task, since the plant is cult
waited almost entirely from slips.
Two widely different climatic areas are
devoted to the cultivation of mint in
Japan corresponding to the northern Pa
eifie coast of the United States and to
Virginia and North Carolina. About go
per cent. of the Japanese mint is grown

average winter temperature is % degrees
and the summer temperature 60 degrees,
with rainfall of thirty-eig inches. The
remaining per cent. of the japanese
crop is grown on Nippon, where the
average temperatures are 80 and de-
grees and the rainfall i2.5 inches.
The mint plant requires a light, well
drained soil The roots are planted at
the end of November. The plant attains
full growth during the summer months
and Is cut in late July, during August and
in early September.
A physician once exclaimed: who
but an old Yankee woman would ever
have invented rhubarb pief" His voice
and manner, no less than his language,
implied a contemptuous mental associa-
ton of acid herbs with acid tempera-
ments. "Tinet. Rhu" he had so often
prescribed that its purely medicinal sug-
gestion was overpowering. Possibly he
had experienced the pangs and penalties
of rhubarb pie in excess.
Yet rhubarb pie taken in moderation
is as wholesome as it is delicious Yam
kee housekeepers of to-day may as fairly
resent the aspersion cast upon their deg
serts as that upon their digestions
The pieplant has a recorded history Of
over four centuries. 1t was first culti-
waited in the white walled gardens Of
Morocco and Algiers, amid fruits>an
flowers and fountains and was brought
thence by the Moors TO Spain.
Not until 200 years later did rhubarb
really become known TO English gardens,
whence in due time it was brought to
those of America to be employed first as
tincture, then as a sauce, and to attain
final apotheosis in pie
Rhubarb, apart from its usefulness, has
values for its beauty. The giant Chinese
variety, with its enormous leaves, is often
employed by landscape gardeners to pro-
duce bold sub-tropical effects; nor do they
always disdain the charms of the more
modest pieplant itself, of which the tail,
graceful spikes of white flowers and large
leaves, deeply veined and stained, are rs
certainly handsome as the sueculent stalks
are palatable.
