Sacrifices To Come

We must not suppose that the fall OF the Kaiser ends
the troubles of the world.
The Emperor of Germany did some good in hold
ing together under hisrue and keeping from contention
various hostile elements in the Empire. The Emperor
OF Austria Hungary did still larger thing in keeping
the peoples Of the various small states included in his
Empire from cutting anothers throats Russia is
passing through a revolution bloody than that OF
France.
All Europe, therefore is still to be pacihed. Wise
counselors must be found who decide what the
fair adjustments and then to- convince these hostile and
suspicious peoples that they ought to submit to the ad
usments
And meanwhile Europe must be fed. We shall still
have TO food and support the Young Mems Christian
Association for armies and sacrifice perhaps
than have done thus far in all these ways We hope
our sacrifice OF American lives is completed But still
sacrifice in other ways.

The terms of the armistice are
sufficiently strong TO render il i'm
possible for Germany TO renew the
war should she be inclined to do
so. IL is to last for thirty days but
by that time measures will be well
under way for the making of
treaty of peace, unless revolution

allies can receive as responsible

AVIATORS USE MAPS IN
MAKING RAIDS AT NIGHT
Carefully Mark Course on Them
and Steer With Aid of
Compass.

An American Airdrome in France.
Aug. 29.-Before leaving on a long
distance night raid the airmen first
prepare their maps with great care
marking on them the detailed course
from aerodrome to their objective.
By means of a small balloon,
whose speed direction and height is
recorded by an instrument on the
ground, the force and direction Of
the wind at different attitudes is dis
covered, and the compass course, al
lowing for wind-drift, is marked be-
side the course on the map. The
compass course for the return jour
ney is also marked. The speed of
the machine is calculated, and on
the line of the course a series of
points are marked, showing where
the machine should be every 10 min
utes, thus enabling the airman to
check his progress and to know his
approximate position il he gets lost.
The airman climbs in circles above
his aerodrome until he has gained a
sufficient height to start safely on his
journey, and then turns his machine
eastward, until his illuminated COM
pass shows that he is flying on the
right course. Then he flies straight,
takin care to avoid swerving to right
or left.
At tbs same time he watches the
country below for landmarks. AS he
crosses the lines he looks for some
distinctive feature, such as the bend
of canal, the dark mass of bat
tered town, or the thin black thread
OF a railroad. If he finds it, he
knows he is on the right course.
Then he sees that a river should
appear in a few minutes. His watch
shows that he has been flying 40
minutes, and near the As minute
mark on his map is a twisted pale
blue line. He looks ahead and sees
in the moonlight silver streak and
he knows he is making good time.
When he is over the river he COM
pares its outline with his map, and
sees that he Is crossing II at the right
place. He is forging steadily ahead
to his destination. He sees the river
and canals most clearly Of all the
landmarks in the nighttime. Water
is unmistakable. The next most dis
tinct objects are woods and forests
which appear like black patches,
and their shape is usually very dis
tinct. He sees the roads like thin
white ribbons save where thev are
thickly bordered by trees.
Railways are not so distinct and
he cannot see them very far off, for
they are likely microscopic black
lines. Until he is directly over them
he cannot see the towns and villages.
but he can see the rivers many miles
Off, and finds them the most reliable
guide Of all.
So, checking his compass with the
landmarks and with the ever-reliable
north star. he arrives at his destna-
tion after travelling many miles
across unfamiliar country. He drops
his bomb. and finds the returns, with
lightened cargo very much easier.
There is a kind OF "homing in
stinct." so airmen say, which takes
them back quickly and directly with
little difficulty"

Fuel Administration Calls Upon
Public for Voluntary Com
pliance of Order.
TO CONSERVE GASOLINE
Certain Motor Vehicles Includ-
ing Those Used BY Physicians
Excepted-Mandatory Unless
Complied With.

Washington, Aug. 29.-The fuel
administration has called upon the
public in states east OF the Missis-
sippi river to cease the using of all
classes Of automobiles with a few
named exceptions, motorcycles and
motorboats on Sundays until further
notice. as grsoline conservation
measure. O.iy voluntary compli-
ance with the letter and spirit Of the
request will prevent the issuance Of
mandatory order prohibiting the
use of gasoline on Sundays, it was
declared at the fuel administration
Austomobiles for hire are included
in the curtailing program.
Motor vehicles to which the re-
strictions do not apply were an
nounced as: Tractors and motor
trucks employed in actual transpor-
tation OF freight.
Vehicles of physicians, used in
performance of professional duties.
Ambulance, fire apparatus. police
patrol wagons, undertakers' wagons,
and conveyances used for funerals.
Railway equipment using gasoline
Repair outfits employed by tele-
phone and public service companies
Motor vehicles on errands of nee
essity in rural communities where
transportation by steam or electrici-
ty is not available.
The action was taken by the fuel
administration, it was stated. to
meet threatened shortage of gaso-
line for shipment overseas
1.-The United States fuel admins
tration considers it necessary that a
limited conservation of gasoline be
undertaken, in the states east of the
Mississippi river, in view of the in
creasing demand for gasoline for
war purposes and. the paramount
obligation of meeting promptly and
fully all overseas requirements. -
said a statement issued Jointly by
Administrator Garfield and Mark S.
2cG3:, director {: :hc o:, division &c
the fuel administration.
IAN appeal is made. therefore, to
the people of the United States east
of the Mississippi river to exercise
rigid economy in the consumption of
gasoline during the next few weeks
as a necessary and practical act OF
patriotism.
'Wor necessities are being and
will continue to be promptly and
iully met, but this is the period Of
the year when consumption of gaso-
line is at its highest, and the in
creased domestic demands, together
with the extensive military opera
tions ii France, have rendered nee
essary, for a limited period. the
adoption Safeguards against pos
sible shortage.
I'm view Of the difficulty, If not
impossibility, of diffenentiating be-
tween the various uses to which au-
tomobiles are applied, the fuel ad-
ministration believes the greatesI
measure OF economy can be effected
with the least interference with the
business OF the country through the
discontinuance of the use OF all
classes Of motor vehicles, motor
boats and motorcycles on Sundays. -
