Huns, He DecIares-TeIIs
About Service.
Gen. Lee Is Young Man
for Position He Holds

Brig. Gen. Charles Frederick
Lee, chief of the British aviation
mission now in the United States,
has written the accompanying
article. True to the tenets of>the
royal air force, he says every
thing about the service, but not
one word about himself. He and
his staff form part of the So
called flying circus" which
journeys through the air from
city to city in America. Gen.
Lee, who has displayed his avi-
ating ability freely in Wash
ington, says that he likes fly
ing better than writing or
speech-making. He is a young
man to have attained such emf
hence in his profession, for he
was born in Yorkshire on July .,
1887. He was educated at Elton
and the Royal Military College at
SandhurSt, served in q famous old
regiment. the Goth Rifles, passed
the inevitable four years in India
and helped to strafe the boche in
France in 1914 and 1915. He
earned his army soubriquet, Fall

extraordinary maneuver he
evolved in air fighting. He has
twenty-nine German airplanes and
the occupants to his credit.

Careful Census Taken,

While this system was being
brought into working order a careful
census WAS made of the number of
acres cultivated by each peasant and
the probable crop that could be eX-
pected from them. of the number of
fruit trees which surrounded his
house and the prospects of the yield
for the season. His cattle were
counted. the yield of each one of the
milk cows tested. and even his hens
and rabbits We're carefully enrolled
upon the list. Then. at the appro-
pirate season. unless he could clearly
prove that the crop had been a fail
ure. from storms or insects. etc. he
was expected to produce a certain
number of bushels of grain for sale
to the army. certain number of
apples or peers or plu2s. and liked
weekly AMOUNT of milk or butter.
They even attempted to keep track
of the number of eggs laid by the
hens but the feminine eccentricltles
of Biddy puzzled even the Grosser
General Staff Until finally they hit
npon the fiendish but ingenious idea
that if the number of eggs turned in
did not at least approximate that to
he expected from the apparently able
bodied and laying hens the farmer
was Informed that some of his hens
were '.sojering" on him and that he
must kill off the non-layers until he
had only the productive ones left.
So that the luckless peasant had
either to produce the eggs or lose
his hens.
There were. of course. outraSes in

women and girls taken by the officers
and soldiers for their own use. or
carried away in trainloads into slav-
cry. The people of certain villa ges
were ordered to keep indoors after
the shutdown and strictly forbidden
to even show themselves at the Win
dows on any pretext. Then loud
noises and tremendous disturbances
were created in the streets. and when
the poor peasants curiosity got the
better of them and they cautiously
peered out of their windows soldiers
who had been stationed across the
street with loaded rifles shot them
down mercilessly. Word would be
sent just before bedtime that the en-

answer to his name at the roll call
was imprisoned or otherwise severely
punished.

The allies have been fighting the
Hun for more than four years, and
the British empire has sustained
100000 casualties, yet, contrary to
general opinion, the greatest 1ifesaver
in the present war Is the aeroplane.
Without the aeroplane casualties in
crease by leaps and bounds. With the
aeroplane and with supremacy in the
air the casualties on our side of the
line decrease and the morale increases,
whereas the casualties on the Hun
side of the line increase and the
morale decreases with marked rapid
ity.
There is no doubt whatever that on
the western front we have definite,
almost overwhelming, superiority in
the air 1t is the superiority in the
air which enables US to bomb Ger
many and bring the war home to her,
and makes it possible for an offensive
to succeed. No offensive can hope for
success without cooperation between
all arms and the most implicit trust in
the aviation service by leaders and
men alike

placements, which cause such havoc
to an attack if they have not been
previously dealt with. Last, but not
least, it is essential to know if the
wire in front of the German trenches
has been cut efficiently. If it has been,
all is well. If it has not it is neces-
sary for the artillery to again strafe
it, in order that an infantry regiment
may not start an attack only to find
itself held up on German barhed wire.
The saving of life by an efficient air
force is absolutely colossal.
The aeroplane must descend from
the realm of mystery it has occupied
in the public mind and assume it's
practical form. 1t should be looked
on as a machine designed to carry
a man through the air for definite
purpose. and that purpose is to help
those on the ground to go forward.

D|SCUSSESPHASE
OF GERMAN MIND
Dr.. Hutchinson Speaks of One
Thing Which Escapes
Hun Hate.
WHEAT FIELDDEFIES THEM
BY DIR. WOODS HUTCHINSON.

The German mind is different. Just
how deeply different one does not
realize until one sees it actually at
work, is brought face to face with its
outward and visible results. When
crossing the beautiful Pays Reconquis
last May. lovely still even in it's utter
desolation, my farm-bred eye was
caught by one redeeming feature in
the scene of destruction, a soft green
background for the picture of horror
and despair. This was the waving
green seas and sheets of wheat which
simmered over all the fields, over
every foot of tillable soil, and rippled
right up to the edge of the roadway
and to the foot of the shapeless heaps
of ruins which had once been human
homes
1t was the one feature of the land
scape which had defied and proved
too strong for the German hate.
Fruit trees and shade trees they
could cut down or girdle, wells they
could fill up with dead bodies and in
fected filth, houses they could blow
up into shattered Stone-heaps, fast
turning into mud under the spring
rains. but the wheat smiled on and
defied them. 1t was too young to
be hurt by narrowing, it was too
green to burn, blowing it up would
have only meant preparing the soil
Tor spring sowing, SO they simply
had to curse and leave it untouched.
Fine Crop Of Wheat.
1t was so far and away the best
crop of wheat that I had seen any
where IN France that it provoked. in
qutrtes. Then / found that it had
been grown under instructions from
Berlin, from the Wilhelmstrasse it.
self. after this fashion. Sixty per
cent of all the plowable soil was talk
en- over and cultivated by the Ger
man army itself. with it's own artil-
1ery horses and tractors Twenty
per cent of the lard was cultivated
oy the peasants and the army to-
gether, while the remaining twenty
per cent was cultivated by the peas
ants themselves, under the direction
and watchful eye of the German Of
metals. All that the army grew it
took for itself. and half of the crop
which it had cultivated jointly with
the peasants, so that ali that
the peasant had left was 80 per cent
or his former crop, and the burk of
TINS was purchased for the use of the
army and paid for in promissory
notes. redeemable and payable after
the close of the war! Which was ex-
1remeiy nourlshinG for the peasant
The net result was that the German
army. which occupied northern
france and Belgium, grew, with the
assistance of the peasants. all the
grain that was required for them
selves and their horses. and even sent
some back to the civilian population
at home.
And ! was Informed that the same
methods and the same results Were
enforced on the Russian and on the

Boys Bureau Needs Funds
1913 Are Now Being Looked
After in Schools

The Boy Conservation Bureau is. in
need of funds to continue it's work.
According to the bureaus seventh an
nual report, just issued. more than five
hundred boys have received assistance.
One hundred and twenty-eight boys
are now being looked after in schools.
The boys are sent to the bureau by
social service workers, churches, ju-
venile courts, settlement workers,
business men, institutions, public
school teachers and by those interested
in the Big Brother movement. Some
of them have been deserted by their
fathers or imperiled by unfortunate
environment. Others are homeless
through the death of parents. In
some cases widowed mothers, away at
work all day, are unable to give them
the proper care.
The bureau reports excellent results
from its Years of service. Only twenty
two boys proved appointments; five
of these are now in correctional inst-
tutions for minor offences.
AT the outbreak Of the war sixty-five
of the boys entered the army or navy.
All but three enlisted voluntarily. Two
were killed in action.
The expenses of the bureau are met
by funds given for that specific pur-
pose. number Of men and women ere
backing one or more boys. Money
given for the support of a particular
boy is used only for the one designated.

On the Screen

The men who write for the screen
have the advantage OF being able to
call for the collaboration of the author
of the mountains, the sky and the trees.
Fuss and Feathers" the RiaIto feature
of the week, is only moderately in
genlous in its conception and acting,
but it contains some beautiful pho
Biography Of the sort Of country in
which gold might be found. In par
ticular scene in the shaft of a mine
is a fine example Of the potcntialities
Of light and shadow.
After rather brief introduction the
story settles down into the more or
less domestic setting of story of sud
den riches. In no form Of narrative
rapidity as in motion picture scenarios.
This time it is an old miner and his
daughter who achieve the sudden fort
une. There is conventional but
rather amusing sequel concerning their
with social etiquette, and no
body is surprised when the heroine
marries the son Of the rich old lady
who had looked down upon her because
her father ate peas with a knife. The
more rugged virtues never fail of a
proper reward in the films.
Enid Bennett is the heroine and
plays pleasantly, although she seems
to have no great mastery Of the more
subtle technique of the screen. Some
body has said that pretty good play
is like pretty good egg, but in movie
land even the pictures Of no great dis
tinction often afford altogether pleas
ant entertainment.
