Air Power of Allies Pooled

Washington, October 16-lhe aeflai resources e ol the allies have been pooled just the fighting forces were combined under Generaissimo Foch, John D. Ryan, head of the aircraft production board, ar- nounced yesterday afternoon.
 Ryan returned from France with Secretary of War Baker The most important conference in which he participated was the in which the pooling agree ment was reached with French and British aircraft of ficials he said.
 "The allies for the first tme have unquestioned supremacy of the air." Ryan said Americans are talk ing large part in the air fighting TheAmerican De Haviland Four is being used in large numbers. It IS probable that the rading squadron of 250 machines whose exploits reported in recent dispatches was made up entirely of American machines.
 The American pilot and air fighter is considered the equal of the British airman in all respects Ryan said
 The pooling programme calls for combination of forces, with English, French and American machines and armen fighting together instead of separate squadrons here oore These mixed groups will be commanded by the best men, Ryan explained whether they be British French American.
 The allies are demanding Liberty motors in greater bers than the United States supply he he said They removing the engines they have previously used in certain types planes and substituting the American motor
 the last six months Liberty motors approximatng 4OOO horsepower have been produced in the United States, said MT. Ryan.

 connected with the Virginia Carolina Chemical Company but who is now adjutant of the 318th Field Remount squadron of the American army in France, writes home saying: Sherman was absolutely right in saying that war is he'll and while will be glad to move away from hell, I sincerely hope it will not be until the last Ger man has been destroyed
 Lieutenant Simmons says further that the Germans may have had training, but that it is the brains that count and the Americans have those. His last words are:

Red Cross Nurses Doing Social
Service Work in Regions Dew
astated by the Huns.

So quietly and effectively has the
Red Cross done its work that few
Americans know that 1000 nurses
srained IN our hospitals are now serv-
ing in war stricken countries.
Not all these nurses are caring for
Wounded soldiers. Many are doing
he same thing they did in this coun-
ry-visiting the poor and distressed,
airing for mothers and children, nurs-
ing tuberculous patients. carrying the
gospel Of health and hope into homes
7ereft OF both
over there does not mean merely
rance to the Red Cross nurse as it
rcs 70 the soldier. 1t may mean Rou-
a. Serbia. Italy, Greece, Russia or
jelsium- 1t may mean any part OF
be world inhabited by our allies
where war conditions have created the
need for nursing care.
Only short time ago little band
81 faithful women wearing the dark
Hue uniforms Of the Red Cross left
IN Atlantic port for Greece They
allied Just as the soldiers sail, know
ing little or nothing of their actual
destination or OF the nature Of the
york that awaited them All they
znew was that they would find suffer-
.ng to alleviate. and, true to the spirit
# nursing, they answered it's call.
Refugees from Roumania and Ser
oia have sought shelter in Greece,
vhere they are living in detention
amps and in towns and villages along
he border in state of restitution
nd suffering. The nurses win find
broken down. despairing men and wo-
men sick in mind and body, and they
will have to. nurse them back u health

with the few supplies they find at
hand.
The thought Of the depriyations they
must face themselves and of the hard
ships in dealing with people whose
modes Of life are strange to them
never occurred to these nurses when
they volunteered for service. Their
only thought was that these forsaken
people needed their help, and they
went forth gladly to give it.
1t Is estimated that there are more
than million destitute orphans in
France. These children must be
saved IL the nation is to be preserved
and the task Of helping to save thou
sands of them is falling to our public
health nurses. who are experienced in
infant welfare work.
Amid strange surroundings, with
none of the facilities for work that
they are accustomed to, these nurses
are doing their best to save the little
ones OF the gallant defenders Of
France. They are giving the mothers
instruction in the feeding and hy-
gienic care of their babies and striv-
ing to help them meet the appalling
conditions which the war has caused.
In France there are said to be APP
proxinately 100000 persons stricken
with tuberculosis. which has become
as great menace to the country as
German bombs and bullets. These
people must be cared for and taught
the necessity of preventative meas
ures or else the national life will be
undermined by the disease. Again,
American public health nurses are
finding their opportunity here. Num-
bers Of them are already engaged in
tuberculosis work. visiting the sick in
their homes and instructing them, to
care for themselves and prevent in

nurses from this country is quiet, but

CHALLENGE OF THE PAST

Most of us are good people. We
admit it. If we weren't. we would
not admit it as often as we do. The
trouble is to get other people to
believe it.
When a man has a first class
opportunity Of profiting by sin
lister practices and hash It taken
advantage Of it he doesn't need
to taat his horn. His record does
that for him.
Your Uncle Sam is in the same
position of that gentleman. He
has had many a chance Of territor-
ial expansion at the expense of
weaker nelghbors, and has turned
1T down. He ism t perfect, but
his record is pretty good. and il
will attend with as clear con
science.
The world is fortunate in not
having to depend on guesswork in
sizing up America S principles. 1t
has the same advantage with re
gard to the British navy.
It England were to assure us
that naval supremacy would be
benevolently used we might be
skeptical in default of proof. But
England $ maritime strength ha9
been exercised with singular bene-

IT'S ALL VERY DIFFERENT
NOW

The council Of National Defen-
Sc has had change Of heart.
Not long ago it besought to be
tightwads. It berated the extra.
VACANT and applauded the parsi.
monious. It told us to make Il
, list Of all things we liked, and to
learn to live without them.
Christmas was to be like Lent
pushed forward on the calendar
It was to be season Of abstinence
We were not to buy candy for our
best girls, or cigars for our best
friends.
Now the Council tells us to go as
far as we like. 'tBuy all the choc,
olate, stickpins, stogies and cuff
Inks it says. "Buy the kids the
toys they boiler for. Make the
girls sick with marshmallows and
meringues.''
It is the command Of Grosvenor
B. Clarkson, acting director Of the
Council. He announces that pre-
war conditions must be establish
ed as quickly as possible. It is
essential to prosperity. Money
circulate freely, and the wheels of
antebellum production must be
set turning at top speed. And
Clarkson is right.
Very well, folks Of Scotland
Neck. The word of Grosvenor B
must be obeyed, and we have enou
oh stores in town to make it easy.
But be gentle to the toiling store
clerks, and don't crowd all their
work into the last twelve hours.
