Overshadowing in interest even Mar shal Foch's hammer blows against the harried Germans. is the Teutonic bid for peace made through the imperial govern ment of Austria Hungary
 The formal plea of Emperor Charles to the belligerents for "a confidential and nonbinding discussion on the basic principles for the conclusion of peace" comes as the first sensational move in the peace offensive. which has been ex pected since German arms began to stag ger back from the fierce thrusts of the British, French and Americans
 Washington and the allied capitals tral soil as another German ruse to get better terms than they might expect when the war has been carried to the Rhine.
 They were convinced that Austria whose people have long been war weary, had been called upon to bear the onus of making peace overtures and thus save tn eface of Germany.
 Not only in Washington but iii Lon don and Paris pacfists found cold com fort. None of the governments involved was inclined to take seriously the re- quest that delegates be sent to such a conference as that proposed by the Aus trian ruler It was pointed out that the United States and entente allies have made their peace aims so clear there can be .no mistaking them.

When DuS1ncSS IS ruSnng most DuSlneSS men lauRn at the idea of advertising
 We can't fill orders-why advertise for more?" they say. They cling to the fallacy that todays ad vertising is meant to increase today's sales.
 The real function of advertising is to build prestige ito slowly establish in the public mind consciousness of integrity of the trade mark and the essential quality of the goods
 Such prestige, firmly rooted leadership. It steady flow of profitable business when the market is glutted with unknown goods-t per nanence of good will
 Perhaps you don't need advertising to-day, but that doesn't mean you won't need to-days advertising two years from
 Leadership can be bought at bargain in rush times when your competitors too busy about delayed ship worry about the future, but the cost of leader ship is ruinous in dull times.
 Every business has future. That future will be bright gloomy according to the arsighted wisdom of present day management.
 In every industry there is opportunity to-day for quietly and at little cost to lay the ounda ton for future leadership by mpressing the meaning of its trade mark the minds of all men, and chl dren who possible users of the goods

car manufacturers. Classed In this
way the team would consist Of u driv3
,ers each with its particular machine.
In the aviation section the aero squad
ron is the ''team.n The u drivers and
machines are represented by II COM
lmissioned officers. Each "section" Qf
the aero squadron has q machine and
flyer. The mechanicians and helpers
of the various auto race drivers have
their counter-parts In the mechanics
and men assigned to each section.
The machine shop Of the flying field
corresponds to the automobile factory
and there the more elaborate work
is done.
The men Of the sQuadrons are
housed In barracks built In orderly
military fashion. Each building IL
numbered, but the building numbers
do not always tally with the squadron
number.
Examining Board Meets Regularly.
An examining board meets regularly
and examines applicants for commits
,sions and applications are numerous.
Flyers also come from tho ground
schools which have been opened at
many places throughout the United
States. The ground school nearest to
San Antonio IL that at Austin. Avis
alton work has been featured as part
of the summer school courses at many
UL the Ieaulng universities, ana THIS,
too, aids in getting men Of education
and training for the aviation sections.
1t is assured that one Of the attrac-
! lions that winter tourists will find in
San Antonio during the coming season
will be that Of flying men over and
around the city. Already myriads Of
airplanes are often seen performing
the various kinds Of feats above Kelly
Field. One day recently great flock
of buzzards was noticed to apparently
join in the maneuvers that were being
conducted by the flying machine men.
These birds went through evolutionS
that were being performed by the air
planes and their remarkable actions
were viewed with interest by visitors.

Russian Peasant,s Hard Life.

The whole existence of the Russian
peasant Is out Of joint. He is born in
a world of earth and wood, where his
life is circumscribed Dy a log cabin
that Is matched in fall, when it as
sumes an appearance Of tidiness. but
becomes a huge harp for the March
winds to play their woeful dirges on.
The thatch is fed to the few starving
animals, and the dispensable wooden
props and decorations used to cook
dinner with long before the approach
Of spring. Here between the unplas-
tered, undecorated walls he lives with
his horse, his pig, his hens-always
provided he has any-under the same
roof, glad Of their sociability and ami.
NAL warmth, being much in need Of
both. His home is one of the maze OF
zigzaz, lopsided, weather-beaten, bro.
ken-down izbas that stand huddled to-
gether, freezing in Gods solemn peace
fulness and uneanny dreaminess. En-.
chantingly idyllic on a canvas. but q
dreadful place to live in.

THOUSANDS LEARN
THE FLYING GAME
immense Camp Where Men Are
Taught Aeronautics.
SPEND $4,OOO,O0O ON FIELD
Accommodati VIII Be Provided for
10000 Men at Kelly Field, Near San
Antonio, Tex.-Will Be Nothing to
Compare to It In Magnitude In the
4 World.

Thousands Of young men are being
taught the game of flying and fighting
in the air at Kelly Field, situated ad-
jacent to San Antonio, Tex. This
training ground is being rapidly
brought up to the largest aero field in
the world.
The United States government is
constructing buildings and making Inn
provements to the Kelly Field at a
cost Of more than 100000. 1t is now
the largest government flying ground
in the United States, and when the
present plans are finished 1t is stated
that there will be nothing to compare
with it in magnitude in the world.
Accommodation will be provided
for more than 10000 army flyers here.
These will be divided into squadrons,
each to consist of 154 enlisted men and
10 commissioned officers. To each
squadron there will be assigned IL air
planes.
The organization is Differed by a
major, a captain and two commits
stoned officers each for a supply Sec
ton, engineering section and IL aero
sections, making 10 in all.
The personnel also includes the fol-
lowing: -Four master signal electric
fans and one sergeant major, one first
sergeant, two clerks, one truck master
and 16 mechanicians with the grade
of sergeant, first class. Ranked as
sergeants there are an assistant truck
master, mess sergeant, supply SER
geant, mechanic. photographer. chauf-
Ieur ana IL mechanicians. There are
also SO corporals, six cooks, 80 pri.
Yates, first class, and medical depart
ment Of four.
In the Engineering Section.
-Four Of the first class and FIVE
ranked as sergeants belong to the
engineering section. The sections in
the squadron are the headquarters
section, supply section, engineering
section and IL aero sections. The dis
position Of the corporals is four to the
headquarters, eight to supply, three to
engineering and IS to the aero section
One Of the interesting camp features
Of this great training camp for army
flyers is the machine shop, where the
airplanes are not only repaired but
are being rapidly constructed. Many
skilled mechanics are employed in this
work. These men are not only capa'
BILE Of building machines, but they are
experts in flying as well.
In a way the arrangement Of the
aero squadron is similar to that Of
the racing teams that short time age
were maintained by the leading motor

Java's Sugar Production.

Java is such fruitful land that one
hesitates to specify the principal crop,
but it is one of the great sugar-pro-
ducing countries of the world. The
annual export Of sugar amounts to
something like 100000 tons. People
are so accustomed to thinking of sugar
in terms Of pounds that nearly 2.0O0.-
600 tons Of sugar seems to have a stu
pefying effect on the mind. There are
more than 100000 acres Of land under
cultivation in sugar on the island Of
Java and the average yield per acre Is
four and one-half tons, which is a yield
that is high above the average Of
sugar land.

collected q large army. He defeated
the Germans and stopped the western
advance of the Mongolians.. He like
wise defeated the Russians and in
creased the territory of Lithuania con-
siderably.
Mindaugis, the next grand duke, a
capable organizer and administrator,
continued the work successfully. Ged-
eminas, shrewd diplomat, as is shown
in his correspondence with the popes
of Rome and the Teutonic order, was
the next grand duke Of note. He es-
tablished the grand duchy Of Lithu-
ania on firm basis, vanquished the
Russians, Teutons, and especially the
Tartars, and so helped save Europe
from the greatest disaster that could
have befallen it-invasion and occupa-
ton by Mongolians. At this time Lith-
uania extended from the Baltic sea
to the Black sea. After the death of
Gedeminas, his two sons, Algirdas and
Keistutis, reigned, and waged battles
with Teutons and Slavs.
In 1869 sort of dual Polish-Lithua-
MAN government was adopted. Even
then, Lithuania kept its independence.
In the three partitions Of Poland the
major part of Lithuania was annexed
by Russia and the smaller by Germany.
Thus Lithuania was removed from the
map of the world.
The people were forbidden to use
the Lithuanian language, and the pos
session of any Lithuanian books, even
prayer books, was considered polit-
ical crime, and schools teaching Lith-
uanian were closed. The Russian gov
eminent prohibited the use Of any type
in print but the Russian. The people
as a result, smuggled in books and
newspapers printed In Latin type, from
Germany. Eventually the imperial or
der was revoked and the use Of Latin
type re-established. From that time
on Lithuanian literature has fiourished,
many newspapers having been pub
lished and many books printed.
There are probably about 1900, 600
persons Of genuine Lithuanian stock.
In addition to these, the Lithuanian
state would include 100000 Poles,
Jews, Russians, and Germans, making
a total of 100000 for Lithuania prop
er. If Lettland should be united with
Lithuania 1t would add 100000 Let's,
making grand total population Of H.
100000 for the new nation.

Is a plan BY ,Vhich you invest
your small savings With the
United States Government.
You do it by buying War SaU-
ings Stamps and Thrift Stamps.
A War Savings Stamp cost
$4.12 in January, and to this
price is added one cent for each
month since january. The one
cent Advance each month is to AL
lou for interest the stamp earns.
These stamps as bought are pasted in
War Savings Certificate, which is
folder with 16 spaces for the Stamps.
When these 10 spaces are filled put the
Certificate away; it is worth 500, pay
able Jan. l, 1923. Then start another.
A United States Thrift Stamp is for in
vestors who want to save but find the
War SavingsStamp more than they can
spare at one time. The U. S. Thrift
Stamp costs Is cents; you get Thrift
Card from the postof1ce or bank, or
other authorized agency; no charge
for the card. There are 16 spaces on
this Gard; a place for each ascent
Thrift Stamp you buy. Sixteen of
them make 81. When the card is full,
take it to the postofice, or bank, or
other agency and get a War Savings
Stamp; you'll pay the difference, II
cents for January and one cent more
each month during 1918. Paste the
War Savings Stamp on the Certificate
Gard you get with it, and start new
25-cent Thrift Gard. The U. S. Thrift
Stamps do not bear interest; the War
Savings Stamps do per cent, COM
pounded every three months. The in
tereSt is in the convenient form of a
monthly increase in the face value of
the Stamps. The Stamps are redeem
able at their full value, SIS, on January
1st, 1923.
Ifyou need to draw out the money you
have saved don't do it if you don't
have to- 60 to the postomce and they
will tell you what to do, and what the
exact value of your investment is on
that date, and give you the money.

WHAT AN OLD GEESER DID

There was an old geeSer he had q lot of sense. He started up business on a dollar eighty cents. The dollar for stock and the eighty for an ad brought him three lovely dollars in d day, by dad. We'll, he bought more goods and little more space, and he played that system with smile on his face. The customers Hooked 70 his two-by-four, and soon he had io hustle for regular store. Up on the square where the people pass, he gob- bled up corner that was all plate glass. He fixed up the window with the best he had and told them all about it in a half-page ad. He soon had 'cm coming, and he never never quit. and he didn't cut down his ads one it. And he's kept things humminG in the town ever since, and everybody calls him the merchant prince. Some say it's luck, but that's all bunk, why, he was doing business when the time were punk. People have to purchase and the geeSer was wise for he knew the way to get 'em was to advertise
