have already described how aerial warfare and night raiding is growing in intensity. A young officer I met the other day said to a remark like this, And a good thing, too. It wakes peo- pie up and makes them take the war seriously"
 That seems to me an unduly cheer full view to take. Personally 1 don't want to be wakened up by bomb in my bedroom. But this officer belongs to one of our bombing squadrons. and takes a profound interest in waking people up as we'll as in sending them to sleep. He has done a good deal of that over the German lines and es- pecially in the neighborhood of Zee brugge, to which he has made no fewer than 40 trips.
 Night after night our yuong gentle men of the Royal Naval Air squadrons, now a part of the Royal Air Force, go out to drop their pills" as they say over the dock and mole and workshops of these ports.

 For more than a year American nen-of-war have been acting with us from Queenstown, in the Mediterran- can, and off Gibraltar.
 This submarine business, Sir Ros- slyn continued, will not have any ef- feet on a transport movement which, judged from the standpoint of sea man, has no parallel in modern his tory.

Despite the claims of the war there

Despite the claims of the war there will be many to support Canon Whit hams vigorous protest against plough ing, and so obliterating part of the old Icknield Street, as it runs over the Berkshire downs. Many an old Ro- man road here is in part pro- Rom1n, for MT. Belloc has made it clear that when roadmaking in Britain the Ro- mans departed from their Continental custom by making use of existing tracks. But it is claimed that this distinction belongs in exceptional de- gree to the Icknield Street, for it is held that certainly much of it was in existence before ever a Roman set foot on these shores-London Chroni- cle.

"A new outrage ny the German army against the laws of war and common humanity is to be recorded, or, at least, is alleged in a letter found on the per- son of German officer made prisoner the other day.
 The writer relates his experiences at the beginning of the offensive. The artillery preparation he sayI. was ef- fected by 3 000 cannon. At 3 a. m. exactly the assault began. The officer
 continues:-
 At 3.15 we had passed the barbed
 wire and broke into the enemy posi-
 lions. From 3.30, our mine -throwers, dragged by French prisoners, climbed
 up the bill, and in two hours we had cut way through the enemy posi- tions up to the Chemin des Danes, opening the way for the artillery It is not very long since the French
 and German Government arrived at an
 agreement, by which the French have Loyalty abided, that prisoners of war should not be employed within 20 miles of the front. The infamous breach of this agreement named above would be incredible were it not so peculiarly attested.
 In view of the appearance of German l submarines off the American coast, a l representative of the Associated Press ! in London called on Sir Rosslyn We myss, First Sea Lord at the Admiral l ty, who said:-
 If 1 were inclined to bet I should say there has not been more than one submarine off the American coast. The 1 Germans cannot hope to maintain any 1 thing in the character of a blockade. 1 The distance is too great from their bases; the enemy has merely made a demonstration with the hope of caus- 1 ing us to decentralise our efforts to put down the submarine. His object 1 is to frighten the American people

 There can be no real comparison between the flying of birds and the motion of aeroplanes. No aeroplane has yet been invented that can fly" Perfect rigidity in the planes of an aeroplane is, we know, essential to safety. Were they to initiate the ac- tion of birds wings disaster would quickly follow. An aeroplane just g1ides through the air with motionless out-stretched wingS-an ugly mechani- cal motion, in comparison with the beauty of birds flight.
 But we may yet live to see an aero plane that really flies" An Aemrican has invented a very small machine with movable wings" which he calls a f1yplane. It has been tested and approved by the L. S.

FRANCE To HAVE
NEATLESSW WEEKS
Finds Meatless Days Inef-
fective for People Merely
Buy Larger Supply.

Paris, France, Jan. 22.-(Correspond-
ence Of the Associated Press)-one
meatless week each month during the
coming spring and summer. in order
to conserve the cattle supply, is
planned by the French government.
Two meatless days a week were tried
last summer, but this plain failed. as
most housewives simply bought
enough meat for IS hours and there
was no saving.
The governments proposal to estab-
lish 100 municipal meat markets in
Paris to be managed by modified SOL
diers has had the immediate effect
OF reducing meat prices. The whole
sale price OF mutton has come down
eight cents a pound and beef five
cents. The retailers, however, have
not reduced prices. An experimental
market in the populOus quarter OF
BellevilIe has reduced the retail price
OF meat 80 to IS percent by eliminat-
ing wholesalers and commission
houses.
