gelist Pleads

America and Britain are so closely
allied blood, breeding, faith and re-
ligion, that they must stand together
to the end for the freedom of the
world"
This was the message Gyspy Smith,
speaking yesterday afternoon at the
Century Theatre. said he brought to
this country. The famous English
evangelist generally is regarded in this
country as one who speaks with an Of
fetal voice in the interest of closer
welding OF American and English popu-
lar sympathies, though formally he is
here merely as an employee of the Brit

His talk, which lasted more than an

Gicnce responded, sometimes with hand
clapping, sometimes with cries Eyes!
Yes," and sometimes with cheers.
1t applauded the speakers tales of
Tommy sharing his bread and Gig
arettcs with his prisoners, Of Tommy
singing and laughing on the way to
battle or joking in the hospital over
the loss of an arm or leg, of Tommy
with his last breath saying to his COM

OF all the speakers Gliding of America
for not having done more in this war.
"Did we do right to go to the help
Of ravished Belgium in 1914 p" he cried.
The audience yelled. Eyes! Yes!"
"Thcn you should have joined us a
little sooner" he fired back at was

applauded again.
The listeners were enthusiastic over

soldiers and supplies them with 25,o0o,-

my's movements and report them.
The Germans are very good at this
work, and they use a great number of
these balloons. 1t was considered II
very important part OF our work to
keep them out Of the sky.
There are two ways of going after a
balloon In a machine. one Of them is
to cross the lines at n low altitude, fly
ing so near the ground that the man
with the antiaircraft gun can't bother
you. You fly along until you get to the
level of the balloon and if, in the
meantime. they have not drawn the
balloon down, you open fire on 1t and
the bullets you use will set it on fire
If they land.
The other way is TO fly over where
you know the balloons to be, put your
machine in a spin so that they can't
hit you, get above them, spin over the
balloon and then open fire. In going
back over the line you cross ut few
hundred feet.
This is one of the hardest jobs in
the service. There is less danger in
attacking an enemys aircraft.
Nevertheless, had made up my
mind to either get those balloons or
make them descend, and l only hoped
that they would stay on the job until

useless to follow him down inside the

1t often happens that a pilot will

How to Organize.
Finding Good Ground Water.

Good ground water is the ideal sup
ply for farms, according to Farmers
Bulletin 941, "Water Systems for
Farm Homes" recently issued by the
United States department of agricul-
ture.
Any farmer about to put down a
deep or expensive well, and who Is
uncertain of the depth and the guam
tity or quality Of the water likely to
be encountered, should describe fully
the location and conditions of his
project to national or state geological
authorities and ask for advice. Times
without number, wells have been sunk
to great depths in the belief thar
eventually a plentiful supply would
be reached, only to find hat water
was not there, or that it was unfit for
use, or that a mere hole or stump had
been created which served but to
drain water from relatively neal the
surface. There is no short cut and
no better guide in this matter than
information as to the kind, thickness,
porosity, and dip Of the strata Of the

n~eighboring wells, study Of the land
slopes and character of the vegeta-
ton, and examination for evidences
of seeps and springs.
Regarding the use of a forked will
low, hazel, or peach stick for locating
underground water, it can be said
safely the method Is without merit,
although so-called ~forked-stick artists
from their experience and observation
OF surface conditions usually are bet
ter able to judge of the probabilities
of ground water than is the average
person not thus trained. So also,
there is little to recommend certain
patented automatic water finders
which are based upon the possible,
but largely cOnjectural, proposition
that electrical exchanges between the
earth and atmosphere are stronger In
the vicinity of subterranean waters.
