GERS themselves do the work.
American Pioneers Start Well.
From the plans that are being made
here the conclusion has been reached
that the American pioneers will m
body the more important features Of
both of the allied nations pioneers.
Being organized as pioneer infantry,
they will be trained in infantry as
well as minor engineering undertake
lngs. When word came to some of the
old.line National Guard officers that
their skeletonized regiments were to
be converted into pioneer infantry,
they thought at first that they would
cease to be combatant troops and
would concern themselves only with
the lines of communication. But then
the news vas received that the Ameri-
can troops were to be drilled as in
fantry. and n far-seeing colonel, at
his officers mess said: II don't think
| would try to save money by canceling
my government insurance."
The-spirit that made the American
engineer write a chapter in the story
Of the operation on the western front
actuates the pioneers. In a strict
sense of the word, they may not be
front-line combatant troops and their
work may be centered about the oper-
ations behind the lines. But the Amer
lean pioneers are just waiting for
their opportunity and when they get
over on the other side their infantry
instruction will supplement their Gag.
erness to beat the Hun.
The pioneers will be heard from.
This much at any rate is known,
that the corps and army troops now
being organized in this country will
build railroads and roads for truck and
for troop movements. They will erect
buildings and unload ships if needs be
They will construct field Notifications
They will be at the beck and call Of
anyone who needs them. They will
be the handy men of the army abroad
Whether it be the AK or the bayone
the spade or the rifle, they will d,
their work we'll.
They Continued to Fly.

west Of Arras. Both its occunsnfs
were found to be dead from 6uilef
wounds, which had struck them in ne
back. The petrol tank was emptv.
There is no doubt that when the two
men were shot the German Albatross
fell. The Bristol machine, Of it's w
v%olition, swept on a fairly ever keel
to a distance possibly ten miles from
where the battle took place.
Then, from some eason that will
never be known, the controls were
shifted, and a circle was made. As
the total distance covered must have
been under 100 miles, the machine
seems to have lost speed and height
gradually-possibly due to some min
or, but not vital injury to the engines
For over two hours the two dead men
were in the air before the final crash
to earth.
A Heroic Aerial Feat.
In order to repair his damaged aero
plane, leading mechanic, Sydney F.
Anderson, D. S. NJ, climbed out on the
lower plane in a wind force of ninety
miles an hour. He remained in this
perilous position for an hour and
three-quarters and succeeded in carry
ing out repairs which undoubtedly
saved the machine. For this gallant
deed Anderson was awarded the con-
spicuous gallantry medal.
The trouble started when the petrol
system Of his machine was extensively
damaged in an action with enemy air.
craft. After repairing the damage,
Anderson reported to his officer that
the starboard engine was boiling vio-
lently.
If the machine was to be saved the
water circulation system must be re-
paired, and this could only be done
from the lower plane-so out on the
lower plane climbed Anderson.
Cavalry of the Clouds.
Lloyd George, premier of Britain,
recently paid tribute to the allied
aviators in the following language:
"The heavens are their battlefield
they are the cavalry of the clouds.
High above the squalor and the mud,
so high in the armament that they are
not visible from earth, they fight out
the eternal issues of right and wrong.
"They are struggling there by dav,
yes, by night, in that titanic conflict
between the great foes of light and of
darkness. They fight the foe high up,
and they fight him low down. They
skim like armed swallows along the
front. taking in their flights men
armed with rifle and machine gun.
They scatter infantry on the mar-h,
they destroy conveys, they scatter dis
may. Every fight is a romance, every
record is an epic.
"They are the knight-errants of
this war, without fear and without re-
proach. They recall the old legends
of chivalry, not merely by the daring
of individual exploits, but by the no.
bility of their spirit and amongst the
multitudes of heroes we must contin-
uously thank the cavalry of the air."

ton of government and state officials
presented the tie up.
Propose to Destroy Society.
The I. W. ". has declared, and still
openly boasts, that its purpose is to
destroy society-to overturn civiliza-
tion-to stamp out individuality, and
to erase the laws Of private property
of any sort, whether Of land, money,
mental attainment, or manual skill.
The |. w. w. is ar enemy more SER
ious in its purpose and character than
any imperial government. Wars may
be ended by treaty, following which
there would be an opportunity and in
centive for self development; and CIV
~ilization would continue to advance
even though its character would neces-
sarily be changed. They are attempt
ing to usher in ar era of universal
servitude of the fit to the unfit, the
skilled workman to the unskilled, the
intelligent to the unintelligent, the as
piring to the unaspiring, and the man
who has something of his own to the
empty handed. They see the pos
sibility of using the tremendous force
OF organized ignorance, incapacity,
and class hatred by Selling upon the
vast army of the wilfully ignorant, un-
skilled and disgruntled, and have set
themselves to the task of recruiting
this army to war strength by preach
ing the doctrines of discomfort in the
avOwed purpose of avenging them
selves upon the society which has out
laWed them for their crimes.
Common sense dictates that crafty
intelligence, if enthroned over an in
articulate multitude, soon degenerates
into t%yrannical misuse of power, and
it would be impossible to find a more
striking illustration of this fact than
the demonstrated progress and militant
action of the 1. W. W. rabble. "The
