COncea1ing of trenches is but an imi-

When fighting in desert land or an

cinity is wooded or brush covered, hur-
dies of woven withes, fascines, shrub
berry, and hedges are employed to hide
the actions of the opposing forces.

NATURE OPENS INLET
Storm Brings Improvement Farmers
Had Sought in Vain.

In a few hours nature has done for
the rich farmers along the Indian
river in Delaware what congress has
failed to do in more than fifty years,
when the recent storm cut an inlet 300
yards wide and eight feet deep where
the river and bar flow into the ocean
For several years the inlet has grad
ually filled until navigation has been
stopped, and bills before congress for
appropriations to build jetties have al
ways failed.
Several times farmers have at
tempted to dig the opening larger, but
to no avail. When it closed even
smaller this winter and no fish were
coming in another attempt was made,
but the sand shifted as fast as the
farmers dug it out.
Then storm came and in a few hours
secured the inlet so that a two-masted
schooner a pass while the fish are
swarming into the quieter waters of
Indian river and Rehoboth bay.

RE-ENFORCEMENTS
BY MARY r KING
of The ViuilanteS.

Stand fast, our Allies! Hand in hand,
A bleeding but exultant band,
Each for his own beloved land,
And all for Liberty, we stand.
Majestic England, glorious France,
Belgium, who led the brave advance,
And all the knighthood of romance,
Have summoned our uncovered lance.
The veal and woe of Home and
Right
The threat of Darkness and Light
The need to hold the Truth with
Might
These are the watchwords of the fight.
From town and country, field and
mart,
We come with pride to bear u part,
In every breast the bugles start
The fanfare of the high in heart.
To serve by land or sea or air,
With any weapons, any wear,
Take but our manhood strength, and
where
The fight is thickest-put us there!

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 by
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 m%onOplane.
While this mOnoplane was fast it
was unreliable and less speedy than
the wonderful French Morane. The
Pfalz biplane is a little better, but it
suffers continually with motor trouble.
The Germans are now using a light
err machine, which carries a brace of
machine guns. The enemy'S tWO-seater
of the Albatross-Aviatik type is still
the best machine they have. 1t is
speedy and capable of climbing to n
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 t~wo-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 antiaircraft guns is
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
1t Was Hidden Years Ago by Pi-
oneer,

1t Was Hidden Years Ago by Pr
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 money,
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 end 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 says 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.

ell through the year, twelve hours a
day, six days a week and gained two
pounds during the year. Dickey's
menu had no place on it for meat and
milk for steady use, although he had
them occasionally. Fruit and baked

Can Sleep Anywhere.

The boys in the ranks have already
got in the training camps at home.
They have tramped ON roads for many
hours or days at a time, have slept in
motor trucks, on crowded trains, have
been bi,leted in barns and in barracks,
have slept in fields and by the roadside.
Yet there is very little illness and the
men look in the pink of condition.
They eat regularly and plentifully, and
the only complaint / have heard from
them is that they would prefer fight
to constant training.
The romance of war as pictured by
the boyish mind is said by the soldiers
to be largely q myth. For instance, in
a muddy roadway l saw a brawny pri-
vate pacing up and down in a driving
rain, rifle in position, guarding some
thing (even he didn't know what it
was) which was piled up nearby. He
had been on guard for ten hours. l
asked him how he liked it and he
made no reply. The sentries don't
talk to any one.
In a camp on the American sector
saw a soldier scrubbing mud off har-
nesses.
'This isn't quite my idea of what
war was going to be-" he said, but
with a touch of genuine American
humor) l have found in my short but
varied career that things are seldom
what they seem.'
