LIGHTS WITHOUT
LIGHTS WILL BE
IN VOGUE AGAIN

Unnecessary lights in Rock Is
land will again be kept dark dur
ing next winter. if the fuel admin
istration in Washington enforCes
the new ruling which has been
made.
The statement issued by the fuel
administration is appended:
The order of the United States
fuel administration curtailing I'M
necessary lighting, which will go
into effect shortly. is far-reaching.
Ii forbids wasteful practices in out
door lighting and especially Hum
ination during the daylight hours.
AS now proposed. the order re-
striCts display illumination. store
window illumination, electric ad-
vertising. and other forms of light
ing, which in ordinary times are
considered legitimate merchandise
ing propaganda to two nights a
week.
advertising companies and
display lighting and display adver-
using were legitimate industries
and involved large legitimate in
yestment of capital They have
periodically recognized, however,
that conditions brought about by
the war have made necessary i'm
mense personal sacrifices on the
part Of those whose business in
wolves large consumption of fuel.
They are unfortunate enough to
have their investments in a bust
ness which, while legitimate and
even important in times of peace,
can be more easily spared in times
Of war than many others.
The new 'Iightless night order
is to be followed by another or
der. in preparation, establishing
rules for lighting and heating large
public buildings. including office
buildings, hotels, and apartment
houses. These regulations will re-
duce the present practice very
considerably.

here and abroad. The flying unit,
depends for its maintenance
upon an elaborate and costly organ
ization which absorbS greater
slice of the national effort ;han does,
say, tank unit.
Taking all that into account, the
German aerial navy ought by the
end OF the year to be as effectively
blockaded as is the high seas fleet
Some little foretaste OF such a re-
suit has of late been given by the
unquestionable and severe hindrance
to the cnemy's raid projects effected
by the almost continuous bombing
OF German aerodromes in Belgium
by our aeroplane squadrons.
There must be no Stacking in our
effort. 1t is eloquent of the en-
emy's immense resources and per
sistence that on the western front,
although we held a ccrtian super
iority throughout the past year,
we cannot claim to have notice
ably increased that superiority as
the year went on. If we were to
be content with the same rate of
progress, the struggle might threat
EN- to last for twenty years. Ger
many, we may be sure, will put her
last ounce into it; and Germany,
largely because of geographical CON
ditions, gets more results for a Civ
en- expenditure of national energy
than the allies.
If the item of bombing raids be
considered alone, the balance is now
definitely in our favor in weight oil
explosives dropped and actual dam
age inflicted. Midwinter has brought
the beginning of a new phase in oul
aerial offensive. German towns anC
factories on the Rhine, and on tn,
near side OF it, are being pcrsistently
bombed by the French and thC
British, and this direction of oui
effort is distinct from our very ef
fective operations over occupied
Belgium with its great assembly o
enemy aerodromes. There are wei
come signs that our aerial strikin,
powers are being greatly increase,
and that they are now ably con
trolled and cleverly intelligenccd,
|
To get true conception of tn,
present aerial situation and the pro
bable developments of the immcdi
ate future it would be necessary t,
have complete authentic data con
cerning the aeroplane and airshi
lof today. If the facts could be dis
closed, there would be ground 70
surprise in a statement such as thos
given at the end of each year befor
1914, of the years progress in fly
ing craft, the number OF aviators
and the aerial mileage, 1t is wei
known although record-5caking ha
not been the fashion or the motive
that all the important flying record
set up before the war have bee
handsomely beaten. If, however
one might hazard a conjecture a
to what would be possible if tn
best machines Of today wer
screwed up for and put throug
their best possible performance
some such comparison as follow
would emerge.
Speed in miles per hour, 19l.

If designers could spare time t
design machines for record-breal
ing purposes, even more remarkab
results would appear. 1t must nj
be supposed, by the way, that ii

ample of the Serbs in 1915 and head
for the wlds of Albania.
One Bulgarian army has therefore
been nearly destroyed as a fighting
force. And the Germanized Bulga-

to replace it as an obstacle to an

This Belgrade Sofia -Constantinople
trunk line was formerly the sole
through connection between Ger
many and Turkey. 1t ceased to
be so when Rumania was conquered.
The Germans have other lines to
Constantinople through Bucharest
and down the Black Sea coast. But
the loss Of the Vardar Valley line
would throw Western Bulgaria open
to invasion. 1t might also start

gary's Balkan and Adriatic prov
inces.
The remnants Of the Turkish
armies in Palestine are now reported
to have retreated east of the Jordan
toward Amman, on the Damascus
Arabia railroad. This region is
northeast of the Dead Sea, close to
the Arabian Desert, and many miles
below the railroad junction at Derat,
which the Turks must hold in order
to keep the way open to Damascus.
The British are now much nearer
Derat than the Turks are. There
is apparently no prospect ahead for
the Turkish survivors but to sur
render
General Allenby has occupied
Haifa and also taken Acre, which
once foiled Napoleon. His advance
up the coast to Beirut and along
the interior railroad lines to Damas-
Gus is now unchallenged. Palestine
and Syria have seen the last of the
Turk, in either a military or a po-
litical sense.
