Burlington Hawk-Eye: Some 200
Iowa ministers have agreed to put in
two or three weeks on the farms.
They are needed there and will prob
ably benefit by the experience and
the exercise. There ought to be much
material for new sermons, much food
for thought, new understanding of
many things, for the minister who
has never farmed, and who goes out
and makes himself useful in this
manner.

ENGINE is EXPECTED TO
SURPASS LIBERTY MOTOR
Superdreadnaughts Of the Air and
Advanced seaplanes in Sight
fof Future.

Experts under the aircraft production
board are at work on an engine that
is expected to surpass the liberty mo-
tor in power, while retaining all its
qualities for quantity production. While
the original liberty motor included no
mechanical innovations or experiments
the designers have been given full lat
ftude in the new machine and 1t prob
ably will mark distinct progress in the
art of airplane engine designing. For
that reason details Of construction are
highly confidential
American experts have worked onsthe
theory that a good big airplane is bet
ter than good little airplane. They
believe superdreadnaughts of the air
will be the masters of the air. and con-
sequently the new engines are being
developed to run planes of increased
size and fighting power. Months ago
Cen Pershing urged that American de-
signers anticipate craft armed with
six machine guns each, three heavy and
three light At that time no serious
attempt was being made in Europe to
get more than four guns aboard any
plane.
The Navy Department also is at work
on designs for advanced types of sea-
the new plant at the Philadelphia yard,
where nearly 1000 men are employed,
is needed to turn out the accepted type
of flying boat, but some of its facilities
soon will be diverted to development of
enlarged and improved flying boats.

BARON RHONDDA WARNS
BRITISH TO SAVE FOOD
Declares Decreased Imports and
Army Consumption Make
Economy Imperative.

LONDON, January 1s.-Baron Rhond-
da, the food controller. addressing the
Aldwych Club yesterday, said his worst
difficulty in obtaining adequate sup
plies of food for the population of
Great Britain was due to the falling off
in imports and the fact that most Of
the imported goods went to the army.
The speaker said he did not want to
raise unnecessary alarm, but that the
people must economize more.4 they
had. If they did so there was not the
slightest fear of panic. The Germans
would consider the rations of many of
the English people today as actual lux
ury, he added,
1t was necessary, the food controller
continued, to reduce the consumption
of meat during the neNt few weeks
but there was no prospect of d meat
famine. Dealing with bread supplies
he said there was no cause for alarm.
He desired potatoes to he largely eaten
and also used for the making of bread
which would be darker, but perfectly
healthful.
Broadly speaking. we have today ar
reached two years ago." said Baron
Rhondda. when our compulsory ra-
tionfng enters 1t will be,on the basis of
giving the consumer 80 per cent more
than is given precariously to the Ger
man today. The German position is
growing steadily worse.

pie, and If you do your duty, 1 believe

It is creating indescribable suffering.
I'VE beg the councils to stop at moth

tachments of the red guards, volun-
teers and the faithful military for the
defense of tracks, bridges and railway
