him IL kilometres behind the German

machine gun, and there was no more
firing from the German.
Lieut.. Taylor continued to fire at
the German pilot and after 450 shots
had been fired, most of them at about
10 yards, the enemy machine went
spinning toward the earth in a nose
dive.
In addition to Lieut.. Taylor's fight,
there were several others in the
bright sunny skies today. Two Ameri-
can aviators chased two enemy ma
chimes to Thiecourt and there at

MUST PRODUCT.

Whether we continue to fight the Germans
next year whether we have peace, America
must produce still more food in 1919, declared
Clarence Ousley, Assistant Secretary of Agricul-
ture, in an address before the New York Humani-
tartan Society.
Mr. Ousley warned that unless the people of
the cities go to the farms in increasing numbers
in 1919 it not reasonably be expected that the
necessary crops viii be planted or harvested. He
cited instances of the heroism of farmers and
their wives who have labored under great diff
cuties this year that the world might not go
hungry.
I'VE shall need more food in peace than in
war" Mr.. Ousley said, 'for the moment we con-
clude peace with the Central Powers they will be
III the market for food and they and half the
world around them hungry after four years
Of privation.
1--WE may well begin to inquire now what will
be the agricultural status following the restor-
alton of peace, ;, Mr. Ousley continued. owe must
remember that several years will be required to
bring about reimbursement of economic and in
dustrial conditions. Many whole countries have
been devastated; their labor has been
less decimated and the demand for physical re-
construction of the cities, of roads and of public
works will be great and wages probably SO
high that it may come to pass that few people
comparatively will be inclined to go back to the
farm
City people may well begin to inquire what
will happen to them in the contingency of
duced production for the post bellum period the
Assistant Secretary said Under normal condi-
tons the price the prospective profit of an
dertaking is the handspring of action. With con-
tinung high wages and with undated attractions
in the city places it may be long time before
full production is restored in the rural places In
deed it is by no means impossible, that only the
stimulation of extraordinarily high prices for
food will bring about the necessary production. It
may come to pass that farming will become SO
profitable that city people will be induced to un-
dertake it livelihood in spite of it's disadvant-
ages and its isolation; in fact that is the surest
means of restoring the equilibrium between
country and city, the disturbance of which has
caused so much lamentation among idealists and
sociological leaders.

THE GAME

Back from the line they came, their minds
full of pictures that refused to fade, says Bruce
Barton, writing for the United War Drive
They did not smile; tehy did not joke; they
did not speak. Like men grown old in single
night they dropped heavily upon the ground,
their eyes staring cold before them.
In moment the hut opened and Secretary
came out. His eyes took in the situation in a
glace It was no time for talk he turned back
into his hut again.
And suddenly baseball rolled out and bnunded
on the ground; then came bat !; and gloves; and
catcher's mask
A man who sat beside the hut picked up the
ball and turned it idly in his hand as if it had
been some foreign thing. Another man picked
up the bat; a third played absently with glove.
Then, like flame out of smouldering embers, a
baseball game was horned full fiedged behind the
little hut. The air was filled with laughter and
the loud shouts of men whose minds are cleansed
of every IVORY, and whose hearts are free.
So peace came to those men who had been so
burdened with their memories, And in the morn
ing they were fresh,-as men who had never
fought.
They call it morale-the miracle that restores
mems spirits and sends them back every morn
ing fresh and confident.
You have today your chance to contribute to
morale. It is chance you must not mis-.
For morale is winning the war.

mission to Mexico City, and that of the Mexican
Labor Commission at Washington.
The purposes of the conference have been out
lined by its promoters follows:
To establish a Pan-American Federation of
Labor; to establish better conditions for work
ingmen who emigrate from country to an
other; to establish better understanding and
relationship between the people of the United

honorable means for the purpose of cultivating
the most favorable and friendly relations be-
tween the labor movements, the peoples and the
republics of Mexico and The United States
