Confidence Sweeps France.
The French Inhabitants long ago lost
their keen interest in the arrival Of
Americans, but now they are freshly

the number Of troops pouring in. They

Policy Called Suicidal.

DR.. Leuthner calls suicidal the Ger
man practice of throwing sops to the
southern Slavs while trying to sub
ordinate their natural friends. the
Czechs. to the Germans. This scheme,
he affirma leads directly to cen
trail European civil war; He asserts
that most Of the young intellectuals
in Vienna are coQuetting with en-
tentfsn. Leuthner's most scatching
passages concern what he terms the
"genuineness Of the Czech movement
and the inability of the Germans to
understand it." He pours scorn on
the solemn lie'' that the Czechs ard
Germans are united in enthusiasm for
the German cause. He says:
What we should recognize is that
the whole Czech people is dominated
by feelings which have found express
sion in the actions of the Czech bril-
gades, and that all Czechs hope to
achieye a Czech state by the victory
of the entente. Count Czernin at
tempted to deceive the world by as
serting that there was a difference of
opinion between the leaders OF the
Czech people and the Czech people
themselves. This difference of opin-
ion never existed.
Pan -Slavism is by no means dead
as the. academic children Of Germany
believe Pan-S1avism lives in full
force and is proceeding to show itself
In the form of Austro-Slayism, the
most dangerous form for central Eu-
rope. Moreover, 1t is supplemented
by an Italian alliance. The fraterni-
zation of the Italians and Slavs in
Prague gives additional strength to
the determination in Rome"

occasion of the latest air raid on
Cologne, he declared, timely warn

Superior As individuals.

do not believe the allies have
ever had the superiority in numbers
of planes they have claimed from
time to time. although the French
ard British flying men have estab-
lished an undoubted superiority over
the boche as individuals. Now that
the Americans have begun to send
planes to France the balance should
coon be shifted. It is officially stated
that 1900 American planes are now
OH their way to France. Ten thou
sand would be Of enormous value.

DROP BOMBS BY SYSTEM
BY HERBERT COREY.

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMIES
IN FRANCE. June 3.-The captain
from Kansas expressed the general
sentiment when the German plane
came over last night:
Il feel like q cussed prairie dog
alongside a rosd." said he. Every
time any one throwsra rock at me I
duck into my hole and chatter"
The psychological aspect Of the
German offensive in the air is in
tensely interesting to me. The actual
damage done on any single night is
probably inconsiderable. but the man.
ner in which the planes are handled
seems to indicate that the direct at
tack is on the courage and staying
power Of the French civilian. The
air offensive Is by no means an un-
important part of the German general
offensive. 1t has been ineffective, but
1t has been devilishly well planned.
II the bomb~dropping psychologists
had been dealing with people of their
own breed 1t might have been more
successful.

Opposing Planes Useless.

The boches fly over in two waves or
three nowadays. II it were only a
matter OF dropping the bombs they
might come as well in a single wave.
One wave may get past the barrage
where two might not. But the psy-
chologtc end would not be accom-
plished that way. The women and
little children and girls who make up
the better part of the population OF
French towns nowadays must be kept
awake ard in fear Where the bar
rage Is a danger the waves come on
at intervals Of an hour or so and
bomb the city and fly back. Where
the barTage is not a danger-as in
our little town last nlgnt-one lone
fiier may come and hum and hum.
One waits underneath. knowing that
the bombs are freighted with death.
In the earlier days of air fighting
1t was thought that planes could
fight other planes by night. Now 1t
is recc cgnixed that this is quite i'm
possible. The noise of the motor
browns all other sounds. so that the
fiier cannot hear his adversary. IL
the friendly plane is unmarked it is
quite as much a target for the blind
barraEe as is the enemy. II it car
ries lights It enables the enemy either
to avoid 1t or to attack with a pre-
sumption of success. So that the de-
fensive reliance is entirely on the
barrage at night, aided BY the micro
phones and the projectors to pick up
the sound and to spot the planes.

Bomber In Little Danger.

The; one danger-or almost the only
danger-to the night bombers lies in
the clock. He must leave his home
field after dusk has fallen and get
back to 1t before he can be seen by
the enemy fiiers who have been put
on his track as soon as the listening
posts have reported his return route.
Otherwise he is free to do as he
pleaees.
Not only have the Germans had an
enormous number Of planes on the
western front during the recent Of
fens:ye, but they have been handled
with a recklessness which may indi-
cate a recognition on the German
part that they must win quickly or
not at all. In all the recent fighting
planes have been active. flying very
low and machine cunning the allied
lines and trenches. When the Amer
leans took Cantigny six German
planes were in the air at one time
over the Yankee lines, each cracking
with machine gun fire. 1t is ifficult
for a rifeman to hit a plane. no mat
ter how low it files.

manner, and inter freshening Is En-
cellent for soups, creamed celery and

Drying occurs much more rapidly al
the end nearest the fan. hence the
stack must be reversed after four to
six hours and again after longer
interval. t...r
All materials requiring blanchina
that are to be fan-dried should DO
