CAMP
FOR u. S. AIRMEN

Gently, General Biddle, head of the
Sador Page and General Livingston,
chief of the British air service, pre-
sided. Many members OF the Ameri-
can and British diplomatic and Mill
tary service, government officials,
lords and ladies from all over Great
Britain, attended the official opening.
Following the American flag raising
there was review of American troops
from all surrounding camps and ath-
letic sports on the college green. At
night hundreds attended n big, infor-
mai dinner given by the mayor in the
town hall In honor of the American
aviation opening in England. Dane

With Lieut.. Il. r. Toole, camp mess
officer, former second baseman of tho

team, the correspondent visited tho

With its row after row of tents, the
camp was n veritable tented city. In
a big, galvanized iron structure at
one end Yankee cooks were busy pre-
pairing n soup and roast beef dinner

Somewhere in England.-From the
tip-top peak Of the highest hill on
the highest ground for miles around
this historic village flutters the Stars
and Stripes over the largest American
aviation camp in England.
Stretched over an area of about
mile and half square, the camp ac-
commodities about 5000 Yank airmen,
mechanics and priyates in the avia-
tion service. Far, far below in the
valley lies the village, with its quaint
old English matched rooted houses
stretched out like toyland.
Every member of the American avi-
alton service passes through TINS
camp en- route from America to
France, via England. They come here
Immediately from the American trans
ports, and remain II week or two, when
they are dispatched to the various
American and British aviation train
ing camps. They remain In these
camps three or four months, perhaps
more, putting the finishing touches to
their training. Then they are brought
back TO this camp, completely
equipped, and dispatched to France
for sky battles with the Huns over
No Mans Land.

TOURNAMENT
PLANS BEING DISCUSSED FOR
HOLDING ANOTHER TOURNA-
MENT In MADISON.

The feasibility of another bowling
being discussed among the bowlers.
A meeting will be held at the alleys
Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock to dis
cuss the matter and determine
whether or not it is possible and prac-
teal to hold the second tournament.
The tournament last year was
more or less of failure. due, not to
any one thing, but to several things
combining. The fact that no train
was run on the west line the third
day of the tournament cut down the
attendance considerably, the expenses
were much higher than they should
have been, and the officers were in
experienced in handling such an af-
fair. The expenses of putting on a
tournament this year would be about
half what it was last year., according
to present plans, and the receipts
would be much more than last year.
We should have at least eight and
possibly 10 teams from Madison, and
the majority of the men should roll
in the doubles and singles, as long as
their entry money in the five-men
event would be paid. There are
about 60 men in Madison who bowl
more or less steadily, and there
should be no difficulty experienced
in having 10 teams from this city.
With 10 teams entered from here,
there should be at least 10 outside
teams. Officers in planning for the
tournament have figured out 10 out
side teams that are practically as
sured and several more will be invit-
ed to participate.
No one knows better than the Off
GERS that the tournament was a fail
ure last year and gave Madison a
black eye" with some of the other
towns in this part of the state. If
the tournament is held at all this
year it should be put on on such a
scale that it will wipe out that feel
ing engendered by last years failure.
Everyone should put their shoulders
to the wheel and make this tourna-
ment a success.
The present officers are Percy A.
Scudder, now in the service of Uncle
Sam, president; b. l.. Sheldon, vice
president; ]. j. Mackay, treasurer;
Dan ID. Coutts, secretary. III it is de-
cided at the meeting Sunday after
noon to hold the tournament officers
will be elected and a board of direc-
tors chosen from the outside towns.
The dates for the tournament will be
four days in the first or second week
of March.

SHORT TERM.

The circuit court for Lake county

Fleeger, presiding over the proceed
ings. Clerk of Courts f. l.. Burnett
today held the drawing of jurors, 40
in number as ordered by the court,
with the regular board of treasurer,
sheriff and county auditor.
Mr.. Burnett said today that at this
time indications were toward a term
of very moderate length. There are
no criminal cases filed yet to come
before the court, and most of the civil
cases are those which have been con-
tinued over from former terms. Or
dinarily the civil cases are filed dur
ing the last few days preceding the
To-day limit of filing, and at this
time this practice makes 1t impossible
to say just how many cases there will
be for trial.

ORGANIZE DIFFERENTLY
EARLIER METHODS DISCARDED
in FAVOR OF CLOSER
ORGANIZATION.

Drives for two Liberty loans have
taught the central and local commit
tees something about organization
for the effective covering of allotted
territory. In the first drive the work
was much larger, and the necessary
workers were multiplied because of
the lack of organization. The same
condition prevailed, though in a less
er degree, in the second drive. They
have both taught their lessons of eff
%ficiency, and the central committees
have profited thereby, according to
instructions received by County
Chairman John w. Walden from the
central committee.
The next drive for the sale of Lib
erty bonds will find the committee
for Lake county better prepared,
Chairman Walden is I'VE now max
ing ready for the drive, which it is
anticipated, will occur in April. And
it is expected that the machinery for
the movement will run without the
friction and personal supervision
which the former drives called for.
The local force will consist of a
county chairman and executive com
mittee, as before. They will divide
the whole local territory into parcels
of as natural size as possible, prob
ably conforming to the political sub
divisions of the county. Each one OF
these parcels will be entrusted to
local chairman, and a committee oil
proved ability and willingness will
work under his direction. The size
of the committees will depend on the
population of the division.
In the apportionment of amount:
each smaller subdivision will have
its predetermined part to are for. A
schedule of the divisions has beer
prepared, and based on 100 per cen
as a total, each is assigned a per cen
depending on the comparative wealth
of the subdivision. In this way, wheI
the amount of the quota for the coun
ty is announced, it remains but to re
fer to this schedule to determine how
much each subdivision shall raise FOL
