PEACE WORK FOR AIRPLANES

On November q army planes from flying fields in various
parts of the United States started a series Of crOss-country
flights to cities in their sectors to chart air lanes, make air
locate sites for landing fields and airdromes; the landing
fields to become a part of the great chain that will soon "air
link" every important community in the country from coast
to coast; the airdromes, in addition to offering shelter to visit
ing flyers, to be made available, if needed, in helping to house
the equipment the air service will bring back from overseas.
This reconnaissance work will be gradually extended as fast as
arrangements can be made.
An important part of this work by the air service is
bringing up to date the records started years ago by the cav
airy, which, by cross-country rides, made extensive maps for
future emergencies, showing all available shelter, battery To-
cations, good roads, bad roads, fords, safe bridges, poor and
plentiful sources of water and food supplies.
Then the cavalry was the eyes of the army. Today the
airplane takes the cavalry's place and to operate successfully
in the air squadron commanders must know their sky routes
as cavalry leaders knew the t~urnpikes and highways AS the
horseman needed water and forage, so the air pilots use gas,
oil and landing fields.
The flyers who are starting this air map-making cam
paign are combat pilots, trained in the United States for fight
ing overseas, and whose battle training has, by the armistice,
been turned to account in preparing for the times of peac.
Major Gneral Kenly, director of military aeronautics, has
placed in charge of this immense reconnaissance work Colonel
M. F. Davis, head of the training section an army officer who
saw his first field service on the plains with the first and
fourth cavalry, and who has ridden horseback all three historic
trails across the cOntinent-the Lewis and Clark, Oregon and
Santa Fe.

BEGAN A LIAR-ENDED A THIEF

The kaiser entered the war as a liar mo he Jul
of it as a thief. These statements are literally correo' d"u
they are now proved. Documents that have Deeh pr"'eu III
Bavaria make it simply more clear that the war was not
something forced upon Germany as often declared by the
and as he solemnly protested before his people after e
invoked the name of his God. What has been repeatedly
proved is now proved again. The ultlmatum u oeiDa a
known in Germany and it was Germany that Weeu f ~ M
into sending it. 1t was so worded, just as mas Deeh al we
time contended, that Serbia coulud not possibly dcoop. N
terms, and the rejection of any of them would constitute an
excuse for war. 1t was war that they wanted. Ii Is no" Isl
revealed that he peace proclivities of England under drey
were things to be combatted; the British statesman must not
be permitted to thwart the will to make war on the part OF
Germany, and he was not. The papers of Germany which
have been upholding the kaiser and his gang in perpetraung
these lies, now know better, and they are now able u speak
out what they believe.
awe have been told that Germany had no knowledge OF
lAustria's ultimatum to Serbia. It was a lie" says the Vor-
waerts. Berlin is said to have admonlshed vienna u. go
slow. 1t was a lie. On the contrary, Berlin hcneu ehi
In the course of his proclamation William II declared In the
midst of peace we are attacked by tn eenemy' A base, lmpu-
dent, bottomless, shameless lie"
Yes. even Munioh now knows and has the proofs that the
great war was deliberately planned and brought upon the
world NV tbe pottsdam gang. who held a conference for that
purpose on July 6, 1914, at which all the details were COM
pleted, and after they had been so completed the KAISER as a
part of the deceit, went to his yacht and lad III shore wilnh
range of call. That was done so he could re-enter Berlin In
pretended CONSERVATION over the allegation that his enemies
had attacked him and his fatherland while he was resting on
the waters. What a remarkable game it was that they played
and the wonder still grows that they could make even We
German people fall for it and continue to stand for 1t, and TO
do so until they met with the utter defeat and humiliation
that have overwhelmed them.
And the kaiser in departing took with him all the gold
and the silver securities that belonged to the government, and
he struggled them out of the country, or his helos did, by
fraud, thus proving himself a common thief in the ending OF
the great tragedy. And yet that creature at one time aspired
to control the destinies of the world; and there We're persons
in this country so deceived by his pretensions that they be-
lieved that he was right and that he had the ability to get
away with his gigantic swindle.

HOW Won TIRPITZ FAILED

To offset the submarine, beginning in 1917, the convoy
system was introduced. Under that system, we are now told,
85,772 ships of all kinds crossed the ocean, and of all these
only one-half of one per cent were lost. That is to say one
ship out of every two hundred was sunk by the Germans and
400 got across to their destinations. These facts are now used
to prove what an ass Won Tirpitz was when he announced a
policy of stopping allied shipping with the submarines.
Now the German people ought to be thankful for the fact
that the Won Tirpitz policy proved such a failure. for they will
not have to pay for or replace the ships that the conveys kept
them from sinking. But as it is they will have enough ships
to replace, for it is understood that it is to be ton for ton. OF
course, in such requirements, as we understand it, are not in
cluded those that the Germans sank according to the rules of
war.

Mining Scientific Press: Legislation excluding undesir
able immigrants has been enacted and is to be enforced by the
department of labor. By this new law, signed by the presi-
dent on Oct. 16, all anarchists are to be kept out of the cOun-
try, also those who are known to hold the anti-sOcial and de-
structive opinions concocted by Bolshevism and the |. w. w.
The new law provides that, irrespective of the time of entry
of an alien into this country, he may be deported if he has &C
quired such beliefs since coming here. We welcome such
legislation, for it is a fragrant absurdity to give domicile to
those that purpose to subvert our domestic peace or to pull
our political house to the ground. Now that the war has
fused the diverse elements of our population into a united ma
ton, it remains for us to deal summarily with the poisonous
propaganda that may be brought hither from the disorderly
elements in Europe. Here we note with approval the an
nouncement that Germans and Austrians who served the cause
of the enemy in this country and were interned as dangerous
aliens during the period of the war are to be deported as soon
as the treaty of peace has been signed.

The boys who are being put on ships to return home may
not be the most enthusiastic chaps about the matter. Many of
them would have preferred to stay a little longer in a beaut-
full country like France where it is not devastated. But we
take it that all of them had many days of leave to look about.

1t was Won Hindenburg who ordered bread soaked in par
atm for Russian prisoners. But from his uilitarian view
point they probably had too many prisoners to feed, ind that
was his way of disposng of them. OF course he mi. hit have
thought of a better way than that-hitting them in the head
with a club, for instance, and most of them would have pre-
ferred that death to the one that carried them off eventually:

The Germans may now be wishing that French and Brit
ish and Belgian prisoners were able to speak more and kinder
words for them. And if they had treated them better they
would have spoken those words.

SLAMS OF LIFE

 THE FLU

When your back is broke and your eyes are blurred, And your shin bones knock and your tongue is furred, And your tonsils squeak and your hair gets dry, And your doggone sure that you're going to die, But you're skeered you won't and afraid you will, Just drag to bed and have your chill, And pray the Lord to See you thru, For you've got the Flu, boy,
 You've got the Flu. When your toes curl up and your belt goea flat, And you're twice as mean as Thomas cat, And life is a long and dismal curse, And your food all tastes like a hard boiled heArse; When your lattice aches and your heads a-buzZ, And nothing Is as 1t ever was, Here are my sad regrets to you You've got the Flu, boy.
 You've got the Flu. What is it like, this Spanish Flu? Ask me brother, for I've been thru. It is by Misery out of Despair; It pulls your teeth and curls your hair; It thing your blood and brays your bones, And fills your craw with moans and groans, And sometimes, maybe, you get well. Some cell it Flu call it hell!

SORRY HE LEFT BALTIMORE.

The congressional party brought back many stories from the fighting fronts in France.
 At camp for German prisoners behind the British lines" said mem- Der of the party in Washington, "a de tail was called cut for some ditch dig ging. None of the British guards could speak German and none of the Ger mans seemed to understand a word of English.
 Under the circumstances 1t was diff flcult to give orders, and the TOmmles' had d terrible time showing the pris- onerS what they wanted done. For this reason they drove the dlggerS a little harder, perhaps, than the union rules allow.
 Finally one big German, his face aglow with precipitation, dropped his shovel, strengthened up painfully and said in Q tone of genuine disgust:

 Whats The Evening Telegra got to say about this move whcih ends the war2" asked the yieutenant when they besought him to get into his uniform and celebrate the world victory.
 The six veterans eagerly scanned the facts as stated by the Associated Press :R The Telegram. By unani- nous agreement, the celebration was called off.
 We were one little Group, at least, that wasn't fooled by the false news,p they reported this morning.
 They did not disperse, however until the first steps were taken to- wards the organization of all return ed Canadian soldieTs in this city. Among those at the little conclaVe were Sergeant L.
