Modern Military Balloons.

Great improvements have been
made in the construction Of kite bal
looms in the past two years, according
to Henry Woodhouse, the leading
American aircraft authority. In
EIGryb0dy's he says: THE old de-
sign based on the original German
drachen balloon was sausage-shaped
and could stand little wind above 80
miles per hour. The present design
used by the allies, and to some extent
by the Germans, is based on the de-
sign of Captain Cacqou of the French
army. II is pear-shapcd on one side
and has three huge fins, one on each
side and one underneath the aft end
of the gas-bag. On the ground these
fins give it the appearance of a huge
elephant.
"Thls type of military balloon is
much steadier and safer than the old
type and can stand a wind Of up to
60 miles an hour. They are from 20
to 80 feet in diarFrreff'. and have a
hydrogen capacity of from 10000 to
$4,000 cubic feet"

ADOPTED" SOLDIER

WOUNDED IN SCRAP

Jack Garvey. the eight-year-old son
Of Mr. and Mrs. Ben c. Garvey, Of
this city, has adopted" a soldier in
France with whom he carries on a
regular correspondence This adop-
tion came about through the Express
Tobacco Fund campaign conducted
several months ago Jack made a do
nation to the fund and later received
a card from Corp. C. BonGAA+-~ith
the American Expeditionary Forces.
Jack answered the card and steady
coir,s spouGonce between the two has
been the result
Following is a letter that Jack
has just received from his soldier,
written in a base hospital where the
corporal is recovering from wound:
MY Dear Little Friend:

to hear from such a patriotic little
lad I'll try and give you a brief ac-
count of my getting wounded

the seven fac kline the evangelist said
they represented seven departments
Of normal life, that were devouring
the normal--the true the healthful
and helpful departments.
The first COW, the speaker said,
that came up out of the river, repre-
sented the good business life, right
eous, honest, Industrious He com
mended the clean business interests
OF the city and the strong Christian
men at the head of these interests.
The lean COW, hidebound lantern
jawed, knock-kneed and crooked
backed lie said was named ayarice
and greed It's object was profiteer-
ing in human life, its whole life was
wrapped up in selfishness and disre-
gard for the srights and welfare Of
others. THE noble industries and
professions of life should be filled
with men Of God and the spirit Of
the elder brother, Jesus Christ is
the only cure for selfishness."
Ambition, the evangelist said, WAS
the next COW. True ambition was 4
noble attribute and the man, or boy,
or girl who was without ambition
was not worth the power that could
I.bow him out Of existence.
Self exaltation was the lean COW
that came up out Of the water and
devoured honest ambitions. 1t was
the spirit Of the kaiser who desired
to devour the civilization Of the
world, and he has cost the world iif-
ty millions of lives in his effort to do
so. Hell, he said, is too god for the
German kaiser.
The third COW was pleasure, happy
healthrul, honest and holy pleasure.
Here tie evangelist spoke CT the
pleasures Of the Oriental wedding
feast. with its unfcrmented wine from
the fresh grapes and the maidons
dance without the assistance and EN-
praoc Of III, other sex. The Oriental
dance was a religious service but the
modern dance is not even recrea-
ton, but dissipation, ii was declared.
The COW that deyoured the pure and
honest pleasures Of life was the mod
ern dance and card table. The tirat
made harlots and the last, gamblers.
The speaker cautioned the high
school boys and girls about indulging
in these forns Of perverted pleas-
ures and alluded to The fact that the
only form Jr general pastime that the
inmates Of an imbecile asylum were

THE AMERICANS
WOULD NOT HOLD
BACK A MINUTE
Yankee General Informs
French Commander
That He is Unable to
Accept Counsel and
Orders Attack.

PARIS, July 1--we regret be-
ing unable on this occasion to follow
the counsels of our masters, the
French, but the American flag has
been forced to retire. This is unen-
durable, and none of our soldiers
would understand their not being
asked to do whatever is necessary to
re-establish situation which is hui
initiating to us and unacceptable to
our country's honor. We are going
to cOunter-attack."
This was a message sent by an
American general in command of
American forces south of the Marine
on Monday afternoon, after the Ger
mans had succeeded in forcing the
Americans back toward Conde-en-
Brie. The French commander in
formed the American general that
the early German success could not
have any great effect on the fate of
the battle; that it was understood
perfectly that after hard fighting the
Americans had slowly retired, and
that it was not expected that they i'm
mediately launch a counter-attack.
He added that counter-attack could
be postponed without risk, and that
it might be better to give the Ameri-
can troops an hours rest.
Immediately after the American
general sent the above message,
which is quoted by the correspond
ent of the Matin, the Americans
launched their counter-attack and
the lost ground was soon recovered,
with an additional half-mile taken
from the Germans for good measure.
