 The incident shows how quickly things rnay happen to a flyer. The Missouri lieutenant had no thought of making flight until just before he actually started on one, having come to town from camp to see dentist. In the street he met the other Amer ican lieutenant, who already had been assigned to accompany the bombing party. This officer, who is from Atlanta, after announcing that he was going on a bombing raid over Germany with the French, asked the Missourian to come along and see him off. The Missourian agreed and went to the field.
 The Atlantan had climbed into his when one of the French pilots discovered that his observer was missing. Only one suggestion was necessary to cause the Missourian quickly to telephone for and receive permission to go. He explained his ineXperience but the Frenchman said that made no difference. Thus he began the flight in which he brought down the German machine.

MARDI GRAS AT NEW ORLEANS,

New Orleans, La., Feb. S.-The ho- tels of New Orleans are filling with visitors for the annual Mardi Gras. The large number of early arrivals from the North and other sections of the country indicates that the war has the celebrated carnival, which has been held annually almost without in termission since before the Civil war. In one important respect, however, the festivities this year are to present a decided innovation. By order of Mayor Behrman there is to be no masking on Mardi Gras day, which will be next Tuesday. It will be the first time in more than 50 years that Shrove Tuesday will see no masking on the streets of the Crescent City.

British Papers Believe Loss
 of TuScania With Stimulate us.

The Daily Chronicles editorial is devoted wholly to "a serious view of the submarine campaign. It advises statesmen who are inclined to make optimistic statements regarding the submarine to keep their lips closed, and says that the declaration of Sir Eric Geddes, first lord of the admiral ty, that the submarine is held, has had "the usual sequel"
 The newspaper fears that the loss of the Tuscania is "only one among several losses of bis ships, though the fact that it carried American troops has earned it special publi- city"
 Says U. $. Fortunate.
 Up to this time the United States. the Daily Chronicle thinks, has been very fortunate in transporting troops to Europe, and it assumes that it will not be possible to escort all future ships as strongly as was the Tus- cania. Contending that the main problem for the allies is the mainten- ance of ocean routes, the Cronicle remarks that no relief for the allies in the air-fighting has yet come from ANleflCd, Wnlle the IOOu shortage IS pinching the allies in Europe earlier than had been expected. These facts it ascribes not to a lack of Ameri- can effort but to the shortage Of ships, and maintains that shipbuild- ing both here and in America lags very much behind what is desirable. It adds:
 "The American shipbuilGing effort seems still to remain further behind our own than might have hoped"
 Tribute is paid to American ener- gy is raising and .equippinG 9 splen- did army, but the Chronicle says that the only uncertainty is how large a portion of the army can be ferried across the Atlantic.
 The Daily Graphic thinks that the torperoing of the Tuscania shows that the activity of the submarine constitutes a serious obstacle to the transportation of American troops, and raises the question of whether the U-boats are being enabled to re- plenish their supplies by pro-German conspiratOrs in Ireland.

YOUNGEST MAJOR-GEN

According to a marriage license issued by County Clerk Currin M. Nichol today Jefferson county can claim the youngest general officer in the United States, if not in the world. In fact, outside of complimentary titles there is probably no case in history of a major general at IS. The greatest soldiers have gone thru many hard years of experience, and only gotten coverted two stars after their hair had silvered, but dusky youth at Tucker started his career with what was, up to our entry in the war, the highest rank in the Uni ted States army. The aforemention- ed license authorizes the marriage of Major General Tucker to Cora Bur ford, the generals age being given as Is and his brides as IT.

Not Hard Trick to Teach.

It appears rather wonderful to see a dog shut the door at word of com. mand, but it is quite simple trick. It works best with rather large dog. 0o to a door that swings easily and set 1t about six inches open. Then bail ance biscuit on the handle and draw the dogs attention to 1t, saying, "Shut the door," He will naturally jump against the door to get the biscuit, and his weight will shut 1t. Then praise him for 1t. By doing this several times a day he will gradually get to associate the action with the words "Shut the door," and will do the trick when told, even though there is no biscuit in evs dence.

With the American Army in France, Feb. 7.-(By the Associated Press. ) The young American lieutenant who had the honor of shooting down his first German airplane while accom- panying French escadrille on a bombing expedition Tuesday night, had never operated machine gun be- fore while in flight, and never before had been over the enemy lines. He got his man over the German city of Saarburg.
 The bombing squadron was over Saarburg and in the act of dropping bombs when the enemy airplanes were seen approaching rapidly. By the time the bomb dropping had been completed the enemy was close at hand and the French formation, of which this American and another gunners, was at an altitude of 12,- 900 feet.
 The lieutenant, who is a Missou, rian, took off his gloves so that he might operate his machine gun more effectively when he saw an enemy plane driving in from the side and firing it's gun. The bullets whizzed close to the French machine before the American acting as gunner could get his piece into action. Then he turned stream of bullets into the enemy and before the first drum was exhausted the enemy machine top pied and started to spiral. Then it Topped and fluttered down with a flare of smoke and flame in it's wake. It crashed to the ground a short dis tance from the German city.
 Other American Not So Lucky.

London, Feb. S.-That the sinking of the liner Tuscania will stimulate the United States to even greater re solve and sterner efforts on behalf of the fight for democracy, is the opinion generally expressed in editor ial comment in the morning newspap- erS
 Satisfaction is expressed and con gratulaAions are extended that the first disaster to many American transports shows the emptiness of the German boast that the submar- ines would render the transportation of the American armies impossible. and would intimidate the Americans. It is declared that it is too much to hope that the Tuscania will be the last victim, though the conviction is expressed that the American nation realizes fully the difficulties ahead and is prepared to meet them.
 Some editorials say the submarine menace has not yet been mastered and remains a grave problem to which the allies. especially Great Brit ain and the United States, must de- vote all their energies in view of the imperative need of keeping the Atlan- tic route open.
 The Daily Express dcclalHs that the U-boat that sank the TUscania did bad days work for Germany. It adds:
 ''Remember the Tuscania
 America will shed proud tears and her heart will harden. Remember the Tuscania' will be the irresistible call to the colors. It also will be the battle cry of victory"
 The Times says:
 "They have died as millions of their countrymen are ready to die and as tens of thousands must die in the struggle before victory is won and the war aims of America accom- plished The spirit of the American people was already high. It will be higher yet as they mourn their heroes who sleep forever be meath the waves of the Atlantic, and the tribute of precious lives will stimulate them to heightened effort as nothing else can do.'

Hard to Think of Words.

Inability to choose the right word often places a speaker ill ali embar rassing position. Many business men lose much valuable time because they find it difficult to express what they went to say when they dictate their correspondence. Greater freedom and accuracy in speaking and writing can be acquired by studying a dictionary A few minutes devoted to the study of words and their meaning each day will in short time result In great benefit to anyone who will put that practice to test.
