LONGEST WORD IN
GERMAN LANGUAGE

AMSTERDAM. Jan 29.-It was
Mark Twain who made the discovery
that the German language abounded
in words so long that they have a
perspective" His record of a 81
letter word is easily beaten by the
Berlin Vorwaetrs, which accuses a well
known Pan-German publicist of being
at
'Hungerfrie densesolutionsmehreit-
Observation-Disclosures"
To save time may at once be
stated that this monstrosity is 50 let
tiers long, and it means opponent to
the bitter end of the Reichstag ma
jcrity resolution for a hunger peace.
The assaulted Pan German has so
far refrained from replying to the
accusation in suitable terms. Paper is
too scarce in Germany.

AMERICANS BEAR

AMERICAN AVIATION TRAINING
CAMP, Southern Italy, January 20
"You can't kill an American" is the
dictum of the Italian officers training
the several hundred young aviators
who have been flying here since the
lend of September, when, by arrange
Hment with the Italian government, this
camp was established.
The Americans have such reputa-
ton for luck that Italian soldiers
come here so they may touch one OF
the aviators. "It brings us good luck
tco," they explain.
The Americans fly from morning
until night virtually every day. Not
a single one has been killed and but
three injured at all seriously. One OF
the latter, on his third trip alone, got
Into an air situation which he did not
understand, with the result that he
stopped his motor whereupon the ma
chine began to plunge downwards until
its fall was checked by the telegraph
wires of the railway station of the
nearby city. Thence the machine
dropped to the ground and was smash
ed. The aviator was picked up for
dead, but in five, days he was ready
for another fly.

TO EFFECT SAVING
in COAL BY-PRODUCTS

LONDON, Jan 29-(Correspond-
ence Associated Press ITO effect a
saving in cial and it's byproducts Of
ticially estimated at 100000,000 year
the British Ministry of Reconstruct
ton has approved scheme for sup
plying all the industries in Great
Britain with cheap electric power
generated at big ''super power sta>
tions," not more than sixteen for the
whole of the country The scheme
is one of the most ambitious that has
yet been worked out to enable the
country sto recover from the economic
Ii SIS of the war. It's details are given
in a report from the coal conserva-
ton committee of tn Ministry of Re-
construction.
The amount of coal used to produce
industrial power in the United King
dom is about SO,OOO,OOO tons yearly.
The new project, 1t is Claimed, would
enable the Inc amount of power to
be produced with an expenditure of
only 25,000,00O tons, and the 55,000,-
000 tons saved would represent not
only economy in mining but also a
gigantic economy in transport The
committee, however, does not believe
that the change will mean the minigg
of less coal, but rather that Great
Britain will enormously increase it's
amount of industrial horse power, and
the extent to which this can be rails
ed, it is explained, is one of the main
conditions necessary for q general
rse in national standards of life.
The committees proposals rest on
the assumption that electricity is the
most economical and convenient form
in which to apply power to industry
and that the only way to generate
electricity cheaply is to generate it
on very large scale. The eport only
anticipates what electrical specialists
have foreseen for years as the natural
electrical development in a country
like Britain, which is small in area,
closely settled, and rich in coal. In
view Of these conditions, Great Brit
ain is regarded as the country in all
the world best situated to profit most
from such a national monopoly of
power.
The question in controversy is who
is to own and manage the monopoly.
The committee recommends that the
sixteen super power stations" should
be owned and managed by private
companies with a national bodp of
government commissioners controlling
them on behalf of the state, much af-
ter the model of the present state
control of the British railways. Sew
eral of the London newspapers take
exception to this arrangement, declar-
ing that the whole scheme must be
run by and for the state.
The committees report says in part:
'The committee proposes to supply
all our industries with electrical
lower generated at big super power
stations, and to eliminate or combine
all small stations. The primary OBJ
iect is to economic our coal supplies
The saving in coal, together with the
saving of the by-products now wasted
by the burning of coal in open CRATES
and boiler furnaces would mean 1907
100000 pounds a year"

PROSPERITY HAS
SMILED ON sEAMEN

New York, Feb. Prosperity
has smiled upon the seamen, as
shown recently by the report of the
Seamen's Church Institute of No. Or
South Street, New York City, made
public after the annual meeting of
the Board of Managers
The Institute in the year 1917 re-
ceived the unprecedented sum of
$685., 459.24 in seamen's wages for
safe keeping and transmission. The
pay of the sons of the sea has been
larger than ever before known on
account of bonuses offered to both
sailors and firemen on vessels pass
ing through the Uboat zones. Men
who were getting $50 month be-
fore the war are now drawing $50,
which with a bonus of fifty per cent
for hazardous trips in the submarine
infested waters has brought their
earnings up to 500 a month. As in
all agreements it is specified that
sailors who are survivors of the I'M
derseas attacks shall be paid from
the time they leave this port until
they return, the men have found
large sums waiting for them. Had
they been carrying any money with
them they would have been that
much poorer, for the hidden foe In
credited with taking from crews Of
torpedoed vessels all that they have.
Once there was a time when the
pirates of the water front soon di-
vested the sea-faring folk of all that
they got from the cashier but that
was before such acts were prevented
by this great hotel in South Street
for seamen built through the gen.
crosby of the late J. Pierpont Nor
gan. by John ID. Rockefeller, Edmund
T. Baylies and other prominent men.
The Rev. Archibald r. Mansfield, D.
d.. the Superintendent, said that the
sailors and firemen were especially
prudent these days about conserving
their cash, and sending it to their
families or putting it in the Insti-
tute,s bank for stormy DAYS.

May Cut Extra Pay of Men
In the Aviation Service

The proposition to discontinue for
the duration of the war the extra
pay allowances for men in the Avia-
ton Service is under consideration at
the War Department. Under pres
ent regulations each aviation officer
on duty requiring regular flights re-
ceives an increase of twenty-five per
cent. in pay of his grade and length
of Service. Each duly qualified jun
Tor military aviator, while so serv-
ing, has the rank, pay and allowances
of one grade higher than that held
under his commission, if his rank is
not higher than that of captain. and
while on regular flight duty receives
in addition an increase of fifty PEI
cent. IN pay of his grade and length
of service. Each military aviator,
While so serving, has rank, etc. one
grade higher than under his COM
mission, if the commission is not
higher than that of captain, and
while on regular flight duty receives
IN addition an increase of seventy
five per cent. in pay of his grade
and length of service. In addition
to this here is a ten per cent. in
crease p pay for foreign service.
With the bonus for flying duty
and the foreign service pay the first
lieutenants in the Aviation Corps re-
ceive more than 1000 a year. The
reason advanced for the discontin-
uance of the fifty per cent bonus is
that the bonus was originally given
because of the extra risk taken by
those in that service, but it is con
tended that under war conditions the
risk taken by the men in one branch
of the Service is not more hazardous
than that required of those in every
branch. That aviation is more haz-
ardous than other duty in times of
peace is admitted Under war con-
ditions. however. it is claimed that
statistics show that the Infantry SER
vice is equally, if not more, hazard

BILE sources of supply for vacancies
The Chicago branch of the service
has let it be known that the greatest
difficulty thus far has been in OBJ
tanning instructors for high schools,
the greater part of whose teaching
forces have hitherto been composed
of young men. Numbers of thesei
instructors have been called to the
national army or have enlisted. Thei
many special services which the gov
eminent has been organizing have
also drawn heavily on this class OIL
teachers, and on senior college stu
dents from among whom are usually
recruited the annual additions to the
school staffs.
Educational authorities have view-
ed with some concern the growing in !
roads on their profession which the
war is making. They have. in many
instances, started organized efforts
to fill the gaps in their ranks and
have emphasized the Importance of
maintaining high standards of in
struction in the public schools. In,
this connection Mary C. G.. Bradford
of Denver, president of the National
Education Association, has addressed
an appeal to the teachers of the
country, in which she said in part:
The School Teachers of the
