EXPLOIT OF CAPTAIN BALL.

Some of the exploits of the late
Captain Ball, V. c., were of an as
founding nature. He was only nine
teen when he was killed, and for
long held the record among British
aviators, having "downed" 43 Boche
machines.
On one occasion he had gone some
twenty miles across the enemy
lines, when he encountered two of
their machines. Without hesitation
he attacked them and fought them
until his ammunition had run out.
The two enemy planes had appar-
emily had enough and seized this OPP
portunity to escape by diving down
to the ground.
Ball was much disguised at this
and emptied six rounds from his re-
volver at the two diving airplanes.
He then seized a piece of paper and
q pencil which he had with him and
wrote out challenge for the same
Svo machines to meet him at the
same spot the next day.

LAD At THE FRONT
GETS ONLY The BEST
Money That You Lend Uncle Sam
Through Liberty Bonds 10
Not Spent CareIessly

The money that you lend the Govern
mept through Liberty Bonds Is not
spent carelessly for second-rate equip
ment for your boy In the service. The
sort of thing that we speak OF as Just
as GOOD" ia not good enough for him.
Only the VERY BEST is. The kit of
the American soldier is not only COM
prehensive, but its contents are "ster-
ling" in every respect From extra
shirt to pipe tobacco the articles In
this outfit carry the trade mark OF the
most famous makers. And whenever
the Government cannot obtain thing
which It thinks is good enough 1t manu-
features that thing itself.
When 1t decided to furnish Its fight
ing men with their Smokes" 1t did not
say this or that brand of cigarettes or
smoking tobacco will fill the bill, even
though it is not the finest. 1t chose
none but high standard products.
Many of the boys now smoke better
tobacco than they ever did. So 1t Is
with everything. The best leather is
chosen for their shoes; the finest wool
or cotton materials for their uniforms.
When sick or wounded they have the
best doctors and nurses of the world at
their bedside. You help to put them
there.
Our soldier boys very often come
home from camp or service abroad
looking better than ever. They miss
many of the comforts of home, 1t is
true, but this may have proven to be
a good thing for them. Just now the
soldier is faring, in some respects, bet
ter than we are He has better canned
goods, razor blades and matches than
we at home can obtain, for instance.
1t is only small consolation for us to
realize this, but we are learning to
cling to every straw. And when our
boys write TO us II Is nearly always of
them, SO they really are BIG THINGS
after ALL

LANDED ON MURMAN COAST
In Sixteenth Century, Expedition Fos-
tered by Sebastian Cabot Reached
lnhospitabIe Shores Of Russia.

The landing Of allied troops on
the Thurman coast would have great
ly interested the seamen of the six
teenth century, when so many at
tempts were made to discover a
northeast passage to Asia by round
ing the north coast of Norway.
After several futile schemes had
been discussed, Sebastian Cabot pro-
NOTED a movement which eventu-
ally resulted in the dispatch of three
ships and over a hundred men, in
May, 1863.
Sir Hugh Willoughby, to whom
was intrusted the command of the
expedition, got as far as the en-
trance to the White sea, and even
tually landed at a suitable place on
the Thurman coast. Willoughby de-
cided to winter there, but he and
his men succumbed to the arctic
conditions.
However, another member of the
expedition, Chancellor, whose ship
became separated from the other
two, finally landed on the shores of
the White sea, where Archangel now
stands. From that place he actu-
ally went to Moscow, returned to
his ship, and eventually reached
London again, Chancellor endeav-
ored to repeat his Russian trip, but
persisted by shipwreck on the return
journey.
