ing the aerial war vigorously into the
enemy territory. OF the German ma
chimes destroyed all but two were sent
crashing down back of the German
lines. The amount of Photographic
work that has been done is amazing,
and 4 large number of the pictures
were taken at close quarters.
Bombing raids By British aviators
have been almost continuous. One OF
the most successful. expeditions was
that against three enemy airdromes on
March g. This raid was carried out by
a large number of machines during
the daytime. A British aerial fleet ar
rived at an hour when numbers of
German machines about to start were
standing in field near their hangers.
Attack at Low Altitude
The British attacked at height of
four hundred feet, and because of
their low altitude were able to shoot
with disastrous effect. Several build
'ings were set on fire and direct hits
were abservcd among the German ma
chimes.
The British returned flying at a
height OF a hundred feet. which just
enabled them to clear the treetops.
They used their guns on every military
object in sight. The first attack was
made on horse transport. Some of
the horses were killed and the rest
stampeded upsetting the wagons. An
other horse transport was stampedcd,
and then detachment of marching in
fantry came into range. Several of the
!. soldiers were shot before they could
reach cover. Equally effective was the
shooting against some cavalry. two
officers being among those toppled
from their saddles.
All the British machines returned
safely. AS matter of fact, they were

Vienna Pessirnistic y
Despite Russian Peace


AMSTERDAM, March IA. - The
Vienna correspondent Of the "Tiid"
says:
despite peace with Russia and in
contrast with the diplomatic world, the
feeling among the people Of Vienna
continues pessimistic; Pan Germans in
forcing events are severely condemned
After remarking that in Austria
Belgium ls not regarded in the nature
Of pawn. like other occupied terri
tories, the correspondent attributes the
German Chancclor's increasing clear
ness regarding Belgium to the innu-
cncc Of Count Czcrnin. the Austro-
Hungarian Foreign Minister, and the
opinions which have reached the Chan
cellor from Vienna and high ecclesias-
teal circles. He says he has reason
TO believe that Germany will soon
speak even more clearly.

DELAY HAMPERS
 NATIONS EFFICIENCY

The water power bill, now being prepared by a House committee, and the general Iand-leasing bill are as es- sential war measures as even war ap- preparations, for it is evident that preparation must be made for a long war, during which much development could be affected under those bills. The general leasing bill should result in great increase in production of fuel and of phosphates for fertilizer, while the water power bill should cause much fuel to be saved and production of other commodities to be increased. It would economize railroad transpor- tation and the labor employed in that service and in mining coal. It IS to be hoped that congress can be brought to see the necessity for passage of such a measure, already delayed some 12 years.

BUMPLESS ROADS
 OF THE FUTURE

Those of us who ride in automobiles and that means nearly everyone, are interested in good roads, particularly those that are smooth.
 Extensive tests recently completed in the laboratories of the Standard Oil company have opened the proba- bility of a bright future of bumpless roads.
 In the past oiled roads hava had a decided tendency to break down in places and become very uneven after short time The trouble was that earlier road oils contained only per centage of asphaltum. The tests of the Standard Oil company have prov ed that asphaltum offers many times greater resistance to the forces of traffic and the elements thaP road oil containing only Q percentage of as phaltum. Engineers are recognizing this fact and are using Calol Asphal- tum (E grade3 in their operations. The result is that the bumpless road, instead of being a total stranger to the motorist, is becoming a we'll known friend.

.ECONOMIzE AND SAVE
 BUY WAR SAVINGS STAMPS
TREASURY DEPT, May 9.

\ AINLLAD DILI les AldA -tJs
 Secretary McAdoo today authorized the following statement:
 It is essential that the American people economize and save in order to make available to their government the money indispensably needed for the war and to release supplies and labor required for the production of things necessary for our own military forces and for the military forces of the nations associated with us. One of the best methods of bringing about this result is for everyone to pledge himself to economize and save and to purchase, at definite periods, a spe- cific amount of War Savingc Stamps, thus giving concrete evidence of his support of the practice of war savings.
 To achieve this object, there will be conducted, under the direction of the treasury department, campaign for pledges, eliminating on June 2S, when loyal Americans throughout the country will be asked to commit themselves to this program.
 The progress of the war demands constant and increasing sacrifices. We are sending our young manhood to represent us on foreign battlefields, where they are called upon to sacri- flee not only their personal comfort and material interests but their lives as well. It is appropriate, therefore, for the American people who are priv ileged to remain in safety and com fort at home to consider their sacred obligation to support our gallant men and to pledge themselves earnestly to save and economize in order that our soldiers and sailors may have the food and clothing and the arms and ammu- milton without which they cannot fight.
 To the end that this intensive cam paign may be most effective, I ear nestly bespeak the cooperation of all the organizations and institutions of the nation which through their influ- ence and active support, can further this work It is desirable that the at tention of the entire people be center ed on their obligation to pledge the government this kind of support for the winning of the war, and with this object in view, that June 28, 1918, be observed as a National War Savings Day.
 With adequate preparation for a National War Savings Day on June 28, I am sure that the American peo- pie will be glad to participate and to pledge themselves to become war savers, thereby giving concrete evil dence of their devotion to their coun- try's welfare and of their inflexible purpose to fight until a triumphant victory for liberty is secured.

KEEP MINES AWAY
 FROM ALIEN ENEMIES

Increased activity by alien enemies in securing war minerals, the most important being tungsten, manga nese, chrome and sulphur, both na- tive and as pyrites, is being reported by mining men throughout the southwest.
 It is generally known that there is a shortage of these minerals in this country and that every effort is being made by state mineral sur veys, the United States Geological Survey, Bureau of Mines and the War Minerals committee, to get in formation concerning the location of the properties and to make an effort to have them developed.
 The War Minerals bill, now being considered by the house and senate, the stimulation of production of minerals needed for the war and the War Finance corportion is organized for the purpose of financing, through the government, industries contribut- ing to the war program.
 Alien enemies can, by outright purchase, or through a bond and lease, impede the production of war minerals to such an extent as to slow up our war program very ma terially.
 If these deposits were to pass into the hands of the enemy's agents, who are, we know, particularly ac- tive in the southwest at the present time, when we are so in need of these minerals to successfully carry on the war.
 It is the duty of every loyal Amer ican citizen to satisfy himself as to the ownership in his own communi- ty, of tungsten, manganese, chrome, pyrites, sulphur or mOlybdenum properties; to see that they are not in the hands of the enemy's agents and that they are being developed and are producing to their utmost capacity, and if possible, to learn to what point the product is being ship ped. Any facts indicating enemy ownership or any activity of the enemy's agents in your district in acquiring deposits or in regard to which there is any question as to ownership, should be reported at once to the Arizona State Bureau of Mines, Tucson, Arizona, or any Army Intelligence Bureau.

EFFECT OF BUSI-
 NESS ADMINISTRATION

Since the appointment of steel mag nate Schwab to the head of the Ship Building Board there has been an in crease of about 50 per cent in produc- tiOn.
 Seventeen wooden ships and one concrete ship, besides a number of sreel vessels in seventeen days in May was a sample of speeding up industry by speeding down politics.
 Men like Ryan, of the Anaconda Copper company, at the head of the Airplane division, and Jackling at the head of the Munitions board mean great things in production.
 Business efficiency has it over po- litical inefficiency by about 50 per cent and then some, and the political agitators, investigators and yowlers generally might as well quit.
