New York, Dec. 3.-The British
Steamship Mauretania, whichis return
ing to the United States the first large
body of American overseas troops. was
reported by wireless through the naval
communication service.
The ship reached quarantine at .
p. m. Sunday and locked Monday.
The bulk of the returning soldiers
are men from the airplane training
camps In England. but there are also
several men from the American con-
structiOn and radio units and about
300 civilian passengers aboard.
The lateness of the Mauretania's
arrival spoiled a great reception that
had been arranged for the returning
troops. Seldom has the harbor on
such a brisk day been so alive with
craft, for motorhoats, tugs and harbor
and fishing boats were out in great
numbers. filled with those anxiously
waiting to greet the first American
troops TO return as result of the col
lapse of Germany.
The larger craft went out of the
harb0r and drifted about Ambrose

first To signal their greetings. while
on shore many watched from wind
swept vantage points TO have a first
glimpse of the Mauretania heading up
through the Narrows.

Incapable of Hard Work.

While the labor required by sheep
raising is continuous, 1t is not heavy,
and If properly supervised and made
interesting by financial return can well
be performed by boys incapable of
other kinds of farm work. This fact
should be given consideration in many
sections where farm labor is scarce.

Lieutenant Sharman, Canadian off cer, who speaks at the Chautauqua. asked some pointed questions in his Liberty Loan addresses which he made just before starting on his Chau- tauqua tour.
 What would they do on the western front if a strike occurred among the fighting men?
 What would they do if the ambu- lance drivers struck?
 How fast would we progress under an eight-hour law?
 These are among the questions which the fighter leaves for his aaa!- ences to answer for themselves.

 Uncle Sam is refusing to draft for military service any who have indus trial or commercial training and are needed more at home. Can you say that young person fighting a type writer or pushing a pen for Uncle Sam IS not as patriotic as one who shoulders the rifles? Certainly not. Uncle Sam has already so many men for draft that he has not enough train ing camps to call them out. Yet he is sending appeals for help in his work at home. Then, too, you have the fol- lowing points to consider. You are not required to enlist, and you may resign at any time. You will receive a training worth thousands of dollars to you after peace is declared and will have the permanent recommendation that you have held a government posi- tion.

RAIDERS
ARE BIGPROBLEN
FOR BR!TISHERS

LONDON, Feb. Is (by maiD =
Both the Germans and ourselves have
to admit that neither guns nor de-
fensive planes can always stop raid
er who knows his business and is
equipped with a first-class machine
gun" writes an aeronautical expert
commenting in the Evening Standard
on the recent air raids on London.
The intensive battle barrage in
Flanders is crossed and recrossed in
cessantly by airplanes Our raids on
Mannheim and other German towns
show that the enemy cannot bar our
machines from reaching their objec-
tives, and the recent raids indicate
that Germans can penetrate the Lon
don defenses.
But there is a tremendous change
in the conditions governing the raids
as compared with those existing less
than a year ago OF the many a1rpIanes
which may now approach London very
few indeed get through. The massed
fleet raid has given away to attacks
by single machines or very small
groups. Never again are We likely to
have the humiliating spectacle Of a
big formation of enemy machines NOV
ing with impunity above olqhaWital.
I'm this respect we have reduced
the danger very considerable, for with
modern bombs, and modern improve
ments in bomb release, fleet of raid
ers could now do terrible damage in
! London. The massed attack has been
broken up, however, and now our dan
ger comes from units and very small
groups. We cannot make light of this
development, all the same, for the
Germans have formed the habit of
running their raids in a kind of Indian
file, group after group coming over to
!; England, and each endeavoring to
send one or more machines over Lon.
don.
THE single or small group of raiders
is most elusive, and no agency yet
put into practice has been able to stop
this form of attack. The heaviest
barrage is jumped over by daring
pilot, and, so immense is the sky space
and so defective is visibility at night
that great fleets of pursuers often fail
to bring him down.
TBut our airplanes are growing
more skillful in breaking up the fleets,
and with further experience, aided by
more liberal use of very fast ma
chimes, we should be able to give
every solo raider a terrific chase from
the coast to London and back again.
For this chasing we require the best
brain work, coupled with lavish sup
ply of the best bachines Until this
. system is carried to perfection we
must continue our gunnery barrage
The object of this fire is not so
much to hit the raider as to drive him
very high as thereby we force him to
come rather lightly loaded with bombs
and in addition his accuracy OF aim is
diminished"
