UNABLE To SHAKE
ALLIED AIR RULE
Entente Machines Surpass Best
Hun Types in All Branches
of Service.

In spIte of the tremendous aviation
efforts of the Germans, prompted Oy
the entry of the United States into the
world conflict, and their threat to have
thousands of aircraft available this
spring. the enemy has been unable TO
even shake the allied air superiority
anywhere. The single-seater machines,
the Hanover monoplane and the Pfalz
biplane do not compare with the latest
models of French and British fighting
planes.
For speed in climbing the Germans
found the Fokker triplane impractical
and it was quickly discarded for a new
type Of ~monOplane.
While this monoplane was fast 1t
was unreliable and less speedy than
the wonderful French Morane. The
Pfalz blplane is a little better, but 1t
suffers continually with motor trouble.
The Germans are now using a light
er machine, which carries a brace OF
machine guns. The enemy's two-seater
of the Albatross-Aviatlk type is still
the best machine they have. 1t is
speedy and capable OF iInbing 10 a
great height, owing to its large spread
of wings.
However, the Germans are obliged
to use faster observation machines
than the allied aviators, as their single
scatter fighting machines are Incapable
OF protecting the ~two-seaters as the al
lied machines are.
The scout machines OF the allies are
also used for guard duty, for regulat-
ing artillery fire and for Photographic
work.
1t is also noticeable that the accur-
acy of the enemy's %antialrcraft guns IL
falling off. This is due to the fact that
many of their best aviatOrs have been
drafted for machine gun service to re-
place those killed in the recent German
offensive.

FIND BURIED MONEY
IL Was Hidden Years Ago by ~.
oneer.

While boring a post hole on his
farm, located on the old Oregon trail,
near the Little Blue river, a few miles
northeast Of Deshler, Neb., William
Beckman struck an obstacle which
proved to be an old kettle In which
were a number OF pieces of q
how much and OF what denomination
the lucky finder refuses to say. The
old kettle and a few Of the coins were
brought to town and placed on exhibit
ton.
The find is thought to have been
buried by a Mr.. Jules. who owned the
place years ago. He sold out to "Buf.
falo Bill" civilian Cody and Capt.
Lutte North, and was afterward killed
by the Indians. Tradition saws that
before the Indians raided the place
Mr.. Jules secreted a large sum OF
money, and treasure hunters have
searched the place In vain for years
for what Mr.. Beckman bored into last
week.

The vast majority of laboring men are

his immediate associates, have my con

their patriotism. With only one excep-

ment boards whose complete fairness
cannot be questioned. The scale OF
wages awarded by this board has been
most liberal We have not blamed
labor for the reduced average output

have removed restrictions against
output. We would like to see the whole
body ri labor put forth its maximum
effort, encouraging each individual
workman 10 do his best without any
fear OF establishing new average stan

When all the leaders and all the Laen
take this view of the national emergen

SOLDIERS coNEIpENT

WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN
FRANCE. March 81 (By the A. P.)-
The faith of the men in the British
army in their ability to cope with the
hard hitting Germans has never flag
ged from the start. and those troops
which are coming backq from fierce
battles of the last few days, in which
they fought as they probably never
had been called upon to fight before,
are filled with confidence. One reas-
surfing sign is that the enemy is begin
ming TO use his old troops in continuing
the assault. German prisoners declare
that never before had they seen such
fighting as they experienced since last
Thursday They battled like demons.
and like flies they are coming into the
prison camps hungry and sullen and
declaring that they are sick of the
whole business. The British army con
rinues to exact a great toll of life from
the enemy. Last night the entire area
of the Somme battle field. over which
the German emperOr's troops have
spread themselves. was subjected TO 7
most terrible bOmbardment, which
lasted until daylight
Shrouded With Smoke
The cunning along the front OF the
past week has been appalling and the
zone is shrouded with towering grey
ish haze from burning explosives.
There has been practically no change
in the British line since yesterday.
During the night the enemy tried to
advance on COlincamps, northwest OF
Albert, but was thrown back. Similar
attempts against the neighbOring vii
lage of AuchOnyillers met a like fate
and the British captured prisoners
The Germans were in force in this sec
tor. Bavarians Icing included among
the troops.
Another attack was delivered at Air
lainzevelle. but was flung back. These
mark the principal events along the
British front
Ae renewal of the offensive is eX
pected as soon as the Germans have
had time to prepare themselves.
Touching scenes are wild among the
civilian population in the areas affect
ed by the German offensive. For days
these civilians have been coming back
from their homes. following one anOth-
er dumbly like sheep toward Ravens OF
