COuNTRYS DEBT TO CRIMINAL
Notorious French SwindIer RESPONSE
bile for Development Of Most Fa-
nous Fighting Airplane.

The most successful fighting air
question the Spad 1t was, of course,
the mount of the late Captain Guyne-
mer, who. it will be remembered. ac-
counted for 50 machines before being
shot down last September just behind
she German front line. The most pro-
ficient pilots in the Lafayette esca-
drille also use this machine
The history of the Spad is curious
1t owes its origin to Armand Deeper
dussin. a former silk Merchant of Ly-
ons, who amassed a large fortune by
a series of swindling operations. In
1910 he proceeded TO sink most of his
gains into aviation. establishing a huge
fying field and factory near Reims
and engaging a brilliant young en-
gineer named Bechereau. The result
was that the Deperdussin monoplanes
acquired an international fame, win
ming the Gordon Bennett cup at Chi
cago in 1912 and at Reims In 1913
the latter event at the rate of 124.5
miles an hour. This speed was made
possible largely by the monocoque con-
struction of the fuselage, greatly supe-
rior TO the rectangular body section
then in vogue on other machines.
After the arrest OF Deperdussin
some time before the war the directors
of the firm retained Bechereau as de-
signer and changed the name to Spad
(Societe pour Aeroplanes Deperdus-
SIM. This was again changed quite
recently TO "Societe pour PAviation ct
ses Derives " keeping the same initials
as before. Deperdussin's trial finally
took place few months back and a
merely nominal sentence was imposed
on account of the great services to the
cause of French aviation rendered by
the defendant.

One of these days Germany is go
ing to make a pretty fair appearing
peace offer Then the United States
wants to look out. When that offer
comes it will be the signal for every
pro-German in this country, who so
far has given appearance of being
loyal, to come out and show his read
colors. When Germany makes that
peace offer, you will hear lot of pro-
Germans begin talking and they will
say that as victors we should be
magnanimous; that we should not
crush Germany too much; that we
have won the war and should be
Christians and give Germany an easy
peace; and lot of such talk. The only
peace this nation can ever afford to
make is such peace as to leave Ger
many SO crushed that the nation can
never again make war. And any per-
son who talks otherwise is pro-Ger-
man.-Clay Center (Kans.) Times.
When the list of dead and wounded
comes in from this and the next few
battles, the American people will be
too much angered to think of peace
and will be rather likely to lynch any
body who suggests it.

In his speech at the meeting of
the state republican convention at
Saratoga Springs, N. Y, Will H.
Hays, chairman of the national re-
publican committee. said among other
things:
eve regret that Allied officers
have asked in vain for certain great
est American leaders and we insist
that every possible efficient instru-
ment in men and material which is
available shall be used to aid in win
ming the war. and that inefficiency
shall be replaced by efficiency wher-
ever found; and all of these things
which we demand of the party in
power. we irrevocably pledge for our
Selves"
The first part of the foregoing
paragraph is camoufage, but it is al
most too crude to impose on the AM
erican people. There is not any re-
cord of the Allies setting up any
great clamor for any particular Am
erican. They called for Americans;
they have SO far received a million
and a quarter and seem very well sat
isfied with them.

CONTROL YOUR OWN KITCHEN
Ringing Message Addressed to the
Women of American by One of
Their Best-kncWn Writers.

Margaret Deland, the well-known
writer, says in the Woman's Home
Companion:
This is a brave world just now,
and it shames US TO admit, even to
ourselves, how we hate to face some
domestic guns; we hate to ask about
leftover dropped eggs; and still more
do we funk the going back to the
good sense of mothers and grand
mothers, and do our own ordering !!
There is, however. one thing that
would help US poor housekeepers
immensely, namely, a community eff
fort If groups of women-the wom-
ems clubs. the women of parish, the
women of street-would get together,
and pledge each other their moral sup
port, the domestic situation would be
immensely helped; we would cease to
be bullied by our kitchens. Once let
Mary realize that not only Mrs. A. is
mean and Mrs. B. 'snoops around In
the refrigerator. and Mrs. C. gives
We a calldown about yer potato par
ings,' but that the whole alphabet Of
housekeepers will not permit waste,
Mary. too, and all her kind. will fin-
ally fall into line!
"You know the fable of the old man
and his sons and the sticks? The
single stick was easily broken. The
single housekeeper is easily eOwed.
The fagot is unbreakable! If we wom-
en-, all together, insist upon a moral,

The st. Petersburg Independent
makes the following very sensible
statement: eve do not think there is
much cause for alarm over the Rus
sian battle ships reputed to have been
seized by the Germans. The Russian
navy was not very strong when the
war began. and those ships that were
in commission have not been cared
for. Should the war end with these
ships in Germany's possession it is
possible that the power might add
ten or fifteen per cent to her naval
strength by putting them in order
but these Russian ships will not be a
factor in this war;

language "Song" is English and
"fest" is derived from Latin. The

English English and German are
