In re the official landing sta
ton for Uncle Sam s Areal Fleet
we again wish to call the atten-

some little money donated by the
citizens, but not near enough to
put the grounds in such shape
that it will be acceptable to the
Government. Yesterday Lieut..

panied by Mr.. j. T. Landry, a
member of the Committee to look
after these matters went over and
visited the plot selected for the
landing of the Aerial Fleet and we
are informed expressed their ap-
prevail of the location Of tn te.

world. From the impressions We
nave formed, the war will be won
