TRAIN AIRMEN BY
USE OF MOVIES

AN AMERICAN AVIATION TRAIN
ING CAMP IN ENGLAND, Aug. co.
The moving picture is being widely
used in the training of American pi-
lots in this country. The young fly
ing officers who are sent to the arma-
ment school here to acquaint them
selves with the use of airplane guns
and gun-gears find their three-weeks
course a most interesting one, owing
partly to the large share which the
moving picture machine plays in the
instruction.
The pupil is not required to sit out
lengthy lecture read aloud from the
notes of an instructor. Instead, the
various branches of gunnery training
such as the stripping and assembling
of guns, and the various points to be
observed before, during and after
flight, are demonstrated hS films, ac-
companied by concise explanations by
competent officers.
Frequently film is run over the
screen several times at different speeds
so that the pupil gets a very inti-
mate idea of the process being illus
trated. Monotony and complexity
find no place in this method of train
ing.
The films standardize the correct
methods, and their instructional val
ne is far-reaching. The film work is
not confined to gunnery alone, but is
continued in the other technical cours-
les, such as aerial tactics and bomb
dropping. According to British in
structors, the use of the film has
changed and improved the course of
training in the departments very ma
-teriallN.

BRITAIN CALLS TO !
RUSSIAN PEOPLES


LONDON, Aug. 21-British repre-
sentatives at Vladivostok. Murmansk
and Archangel have published this
declaration of the British Govern
ment to the peoples of Russia:
Your allies have not forgotten you.
We remember all the services your
herois army rendered as in the early
years of the war. We are coming as
friends to help you save yourselves
from dismemberment andN destruction
at the hands of Germany which is
tIying to enslave your people and use
the great resources of your, country
to it's own ends.
We wish to solemnly assure you
that. while our troops are entering
Russia to assist you in your struggle
against Germany we shall not retain
one foot of your territory. We de-
plore the civil war that divides you
and the internal dissensions that fa-
cilitate Germany's plans of conquest.
The destinies of Russia are in the
hands of the Russian peoples. 1t is
for them and for them alone to decide
their form of government and to find
3 solution for their social problems,
Peoples of Russia, your very exist
ence as an Independent nation is at
stakes, The liberties you have won, in
the revolution are threatened with
extinction by the iron hand of Ger
many. Rally round the banner of
freedom and independence that we.
who are still your allies, are raising
in your midst and secure the tri-
umphs of those two great principles,
without which there can be no last
ing peace or real liberty for the world.

SPAIN SEES THE DRIFT

~ HE case of Spain is pitt
VI able but will excite scant
sympathy from the natl
ons that are enlisted in the war
against Hundom. Though pro-
German in spirit Spain has
been so badly maltreated by
the kaiser's U-boats that retail
atory steps are necessary. 1t is
set forth that 20 per cent of
Spanish shipping has been de-
stroyed and that ships needed
exclusively for Spanish uses
have been torpedOed without
the slightest pretext. Spain now
proposes to seize interned Ger
man ships and use them in case
further Spanish ships are de-
stroyed. 1t is indeed a mild
proposal. eff you keep on
numbering my family and de-
stroying my property l will
take the milk from your cow
which / am keeping in my
barn" is about the way Alfonso
talks to Wilhelm.
However, there is some sig
nificance in Spain's action af-
ter all. If the dons thought
Germany could win the war
they would not be taking any
retaliatory steps against the
submarine warfare. Pusillani-
nous as their behavior is it has
value as a weather vane. The
Spanish view is that Kultur is
on the wane and that it is time
TO make things right with the
nations that have the nerve to
fight for civilization.

especially helpful when the boys are
at the front. Following is the letter:
Somewhere in France, July %, 1918.
Dear Sister and Brother-I received
your letter of June % and, as you
know. was glad to get it and to know
that you are all as we'll as myself.
So you have been having some really
hot weather at home. This is a rather
funny country in regard to weather;
it is altogether different than what /
thought it was-there hasn't been any
very warm weather here and the
nights are very cool There hasn't
been much rain until the last few days
and we were lucky enough to miss
most of it. 1t is raining right now.
but we are high and dry. 1 suppose,
though, that we will get lots of rain
from now on, but then a little thing
like rain never bothers the "boys. II
the mud gets too deep we will get a
boat. Ha! Ha!
Say, Walt, you asked me If need
ed anything in the line of tobacco.
We are getting all the tobacco we
need from the Y. NJ. G. A and Red
Cross. They sure are doing fine work
for the boys. We also get candy and
cookies. and, believe me, they sure go
fine, especially when we are at the
front, so you people at home must
not forget the Y. NJ. c. A. and the
Red Cross.
AS yet 1 haven't received the papers
you sent. but / hope to soon, for
would like to read some of the home
news and I haven't heard a thing |
about Bobbie, so 1 wish you woulo |
send him my adress, for 1 sure would |
like to hear how my little boy is get |
ting along. l am writing myself but
il will do no harm for you to drop |
me a line. From now on 1 expect to
get my mail here regularly, as 1 am
assigned to a regular company. So
please write often and send the pa
pers.
Just a little about fighting. I have
gone over the top twice since 1 have
been here and this last time we had
a real battle and / suppose that you
have all heard by now about the
gains made by the allies. VIII try and
write again before we leave tins
camp. so will close for this time. With
lots Of love to all. Your loving brother,

q ECRETARY McADOO has
9 definitely announced that
the Fourth Liberty Loan
bonds will bear A Ia per cent
interest.
The Secretary has been in
sistent that the government in
terest rate should be stabilized
at a La per cent. He points out
that a raise in the rate of inter
est of only one-fourth of l per
cent on $1O,0OO,OOO,OOO of gov
ernment bonds would mean an
annual increase of $25, 100000
in interest charges, and that
this money would have to be
raised by increased taxation
and paid by the people of the
country. 1t would not be paid
by one class only, because there
are consumption as we'll as
other kinds of taxes, and the
consumption taxes reach every
class of people.
GAS an intelligent people,"
said Secretary McAdoo during
the Third Liberty Loan cam
paign, "we should now make a
stand for the financing of our
government during the period
of this war at a stabilized rate
of interest, say at A Ia per cent
per annum, so that all business
and all investments may be adj
justed to that basis, and so that
we ourselves may protect our
selves against successfully in
creased rates of interest on gov
ernment loans"
Neither our patriotism nor
our support of the Liberty
Loans are measured in fractions
of per cent.

GIVE COWS BALANCED RATION
Protein, Carbohydrates and Fats Are
Used BY Animals in Quite Differ
ent Proportions.

In feeding dairy cows the best re-
suits are always secured and the most
economic use of feeds is obtained by
providing a balanced ration. Careful
studies have shown that the three
classes of nutrients in feeds, prot1.4s,
carbohydrates, and fats, are used by
different animals Ia quite different pro-
portions A ration that supplies these
nutrients in the proportion that the
animal requires, is called a balanced
ration. When enough of each of these
ciasses Is fed there is no waste, caused
by feeding an unnecessary amount Of
nne class OF nutrients. Protein is used
bg the animal chiefly to form the mus
eies or lean flesh Of the body, the hair,
the horns, the ho0fs and tbe casein in
the milk The carbohydrates and the
sat are a source o., energy in the body,
ms well as that Of the body fat and the
fat in the milk.
The compromising of balanced ra-
ton is not difficult If one has at hand
tables which show the digestible nutri-
ents of the various feeds Many farm
ers, however, obtain good results by
more simple methods. and have found
the following rules useful:
l. Feed all the roughage that the
COW will eat up clean.
2. If the roughage contains eight to
ten p Junds of leguminous hay, such as
clover, cowpea or alfalfa, mix the
grain ration so that 1t will contain
from IA TO 16 per cent Of protein. II
che roughage does not contain large
proportion of leguminous hay, but ia
composed largely of corn silage, corn
stalks, and timothy hay mix the grain
ration to contain 20 to "a per cent of
protein.
3. To cows such as Jerseys or Guern-
Seys, giving milk testing 4 per cent in
eutterfat or higher, feed the grain mix
ture at the rate of one pound to every
three pounds of milk produced. To
cows giving milk which tests 31b per
cent in butterfat or less, feed one
pound of the grain mixture TO every
three and one-half to four pounds of
milk produced.
4. II the COW is In poor flesh and Is
giving good flow of milk, she will us
ually respond to heavier feeding and
the grain ration should be increased.
