WAR MEMORIALS.
Not Too Soon to Begin Thinking About
the Business.

1t is not any too soon to begin to
think about providing memorials to our
boys who are daily sacrificing their lives
abroad and to plan that these memoir
ais shall be artistic and worthy ones. A
memorial has just been unveiled at
Selma, Ala, to q navy officer who lost
his life in a submarine attack, the first
public memorial so far as we are ad-
vised to hero OF the present war. We
are in need of better types of soldier
memorials, especially of the smaller me-
MORALS, that win be erected in number
less towns and cities, and our sculptors,
architects and designers should give
their best thought to designing these
smaller public memorials that we may
have better monumental record of the
present conflict than we have OF the
Civil war
Private memorials, of the nature OF
cenotaphs to be placed on the family lots
of those who have lost members of their
families abroad, will undoubtedly also
be erected in numbers OF instances, and
suitable forms for this class OF memo
rial are being developed in many in
stances by utilizing our cemetery forms
with appropriate military decorations.
One Of the finest possibilities IN the
design of small public memorials Is IN
the use of the bas-relief in its varied
architectural treatments. The monu-
mental tablet in its many forms lends
itself readily to relief adornment in
either bronze or stone. The ancient
classic prototype of our upright slabs,
the Greek STEELE, offers in itself vast
variety of suggestions to the designer
with adaptability of brush and imagi-
nation.
And what wealth of new decorative
motifs modern military insignia offers to
the designer We are just beginning
TO study them, but every emblem and
every war picture we see offers some
sort Of suggestion.
Regimental badges and insignia OF
| the various branches of service, all the
arms and implements Of war, have dec
orative value to the student Of military
memorials. Small decorations of this
nature may be applied to the stone in
| bronze or be Incorporated into the gen
eral detail Of the stone work to good
! effect. Field guns and artillery of all
kinds, machine guns, tanks, rifles and
airplanes offer wealth of decorative
material that must be carefully studied
in its relation to the general architec-
ture of the memorial,
Architectural types of the smaller sol
der memorials win be needed in large
numbers in the near future and worthy
designs must be developed to meet this
need. Monumental News.

While death has taken toll of quite a

due possibly in many cases to the re-
sultant effects of influenza, our city has
been most fortunate as compared with

precaution has been taken by the board
of health to prevent the spreading OF
the disease and it is to be hoped that
now the worst is over Most OF the
cases have run light and probably but

Of them would have been called a hard

WHY YOUR TRAIN WAS LATE"
The Kings business" is phrase
that has given couriers in the old
world the right-of- for many CEN
turies. An equally terse statement
may be offered by American rail-
roads for the delays of passenger and
freight trains in the last few months.
During the first period of the war.
up to and including Oct. 80. a total
of liz, ,469 cars containing govern
ment supplies had been hauled from
every section of the United States
to various designated points. The
sixteen national army contonments
required "A, ,277; the sixteen national

idea of what such a drain on the
available car supply means may be
obtained by an analysis Of the fig

make up one train. Therefore 3.74S

number OF cars utilized for govern

The Russians Again.

4
Even the blind Bolsheviki who
once trusted the Teutons are begin
ming to know a fact when they see
it, and it seems altogether possible
that Russia may, within the next
| few weeks. resume her former status
as belligerent
The foremost military effect this
could have would be to force Ger
many to rush several hundred thou
sand men back to the Russian front
from Fsance and Belgium, where
they have been gathering for a sup
posed master offensive against the
allies.
Ever if it be true that Russia has
| only three million men to put into
the field, Germany and Austria cam
not afford to allow their lines in the
east to be shattered. Their hold on
Russian territory is one of the best
things they have to bargain with
when the peace parleys begin. and
they may be depended upon not to
give up any of it unnecessarily.
A postponement of the reputed
German attack in the west would
mean that the United States would
be able to mass its forces at the side
of France and England. and Ger
many's coup would never take place.
The German strategists are far too
wise to risk failure in such a drive.
which would tax to the utmost their
military strength. and which, if
stayed, would mean the end of Of
fensive fighting in the west for the
Huns.
1t is this fact that gives so much
interest to the Russian situation at
present. Naturally, we may expect
further concessions from the Central
Powers, who are desperately anxious
to get Russia out of the war, ii they
can only be allowed at the same
time to grab lot of territory, lay
hold of invaluable economic and
treaty concessions and continue
their en.sIayement of populations
within DE conquered territories of
the Ba &c.
Just bow anxious the Teutons are
to get Russia out will be shown in
the next lew DAYS ny thep eace offers
that are made to the BOlsheviki.
Whatever happens. the situation
in Russia to-day is brighter for the
allies than it has been since the de-
bacle that marked the end of the
final effort made by the Russian ar
mics after the overthrow of the Gar
Certainly there is sound sense in be-
ing optimistic over the Russian situ-
alton at present.-Jackson Daily

AIR MAIL SERVICE.

the exclusive luxury of the people of
New York, Philadelphia and Washing
ton. 1t is to be brought within the
reach of every city and every citizen.
After the war, explains Second AZ.
sistant Postmaster General Prayer,
we shall have great numbers of train
ed aviators, and big supply of avail
able airplanes. There viii be the ma
terial for great national air service
Experiments and plans carried for

for prompt development when our
fliers come back from France.

made between Washington and Chi
cago in seven to nine hours. Soon
there will be regular flights between
Chicago and other cities. eastern and
western. and then will come transcon-
tinental flights. The South will like
wise be joined to the North by air
lines.
Airplanes will be introduced in re
mote districts not accessible by trains,
or sections where natural obstacles
make train service slow. Finally the
whole country will be interlocked
with airplane mail service for letters
and parcels.
And all this can be done, Mr.. Pra-
ger thinks, for a five-cent letter rate.
Tha. looks more hopeful to the gen

charged for air-route letters There
are few persons who couldn't afford it
for important mail, if they were sure
of prompt and dependable delivery.
