 Discussing the air pockets which some persons claim have caused numer- ous accidents, Coffyn said
 ''The only air pockets that have ever found were in the newspapers 1 have been up in the air often enough to find air pockets if any actually existed. But they don't.

At the same | time the complicated system of train orders and train schedules is such that l the railroad administration general or der specifically puts 1t up to local man agements to use their own discretion, and to protect train movements by other methods, if they find it necessary, At any rate, Sunday morning must find the railroads throughout the five-time belts ! in the United States moving trains on the regular schedule and in the new time, so far as it is possible.

The fuel administration estimated that on the seven-month basis 1,i25,000 tons of coal had been saved. to relieve possible winter shortage Definite reports from St Louis said consumption of coal had dropped 175 tons per thousand population. These estimates were worked out by comparing the coal consumption of cen tral stations with previous years, to de- termne how much less electrical energy and gas for lighting had been utilized.

REPUBLICANS STATEMENT

The statement issued by republican leaders in Congress follows:
 Sometime ago the President said
 politics is adjourned Now, in the closing days of the campaign delayed by the united effots of all parties for the Liberty Loan now, when all pub lie meetings have been given up owing to the influenza epidemic, the Presi- dent sends out a direct party appeal calling upon his countrymen to vote for democrats because they are demo- crats, without any reference to are in favor of war measures and have q war record which deserves support.

The President is quite ready to admit that republicans are loyal enough 10 fight and are dying Ly the thousa nds; loyal enough to take up great loans and pay enormous tases. loyal enough to furnish important men at no salary on some of the great war boards in Washington. But they are not loyal enough, ir the Presidents opinion, to be trusted with any share in the government of the country or legislation for 1t.

Corbett's Daily Letter
 On Great Sport Topics
By JAMES |. C0RBETT

Frank Coffyn, who has been flying for
 something like nine years, insists that
 aviation is the greatest sport in the
 world
 Coffyn began his aerial career in the
 days shortly after the Wright brothers
 startled the world by their successful experience with heavier than air ships
 And he's been at 1t ever since-''The dean of birdmen"
 Coffyn has made close to 5000 flights
 in the years that he has been an avIa- tor. travelled more than 5o,oo0 miles in
 the air-and has never experienced a se-
 rious accident, Yet nearly every man 1 who was co-aviator of Coffyn through
 the early years of the sport. has gone 10 his death.
 Nothing equals the thrill that comes
 to man who is flying through space Tn an airship," insists Coffyn. There is
 an exhilaration about it, a pleasure thar
 cannot be described. It is a sport that nothing can equal sport that fascinates and enthrans"
 Don't you consider aerial work dan serous?" Coffyn was asked.
 It isn't half as dangerous as auto
 mohiling." was the reply sThe air is
 far safer than the road. have had several narrow escapes while flying. uut
 that was during the early days when the machines were imperfect, but have never received scratch as fsult Of q flying accident. Yet 1 am scared up rom automobile snashups and had a oozen narrow escapes from death"
 What is the maJor cause of aerial ae-
 cidents?'
 During the early days 1t was due largely to faulty construction of the ma chimes. But the machines nowadays have been so perfected that they are aoso- !utely safe--unloss the piiot becomes | careless, And therein lies the great oan-
 ger of the present day and the cause for | most of the accidents Some of the poys get up high and become bit reckless. They try to perform a few stunts in the air, and accident results, and they go plunging down to earth"
 Coffyn classified as bunk the prac-
 tiee of attributing many accidents to en- zine trouble.
 T daresay that engine trouble doesn't t
 cause one accident in l00," declared Cor fyn If an engine stops on a man up in the air he can coast down in safety. The engine, it must be remembered,
 merely is the motive power to move the macnlne upward, backward or forward. 1t isn't vital in making a descent.
 The general belief among those who have never followed aviation is that when an engine stops, the machine shoots 10 the earth at once. But that is not true When the motor halts the machine ! merely floats straight on and will con
 tnue to float forward with a slight dip- ping motion for a few seconds-carried along by it's own momentum That's a long enough time for even the slowest

Washington, October 25.-All clocks in the United States should stop for one hour at a. m. Sunday morning, October 27, and then again take up the process sion of the hours.
 The country will then be back upon a sur time basis, and finished with its first seven months of daylight saving experi- mcnt. Some minor difficulty in transpor- tation and industry will be involved in this return to normal time, but for most people, the change will mean nothing more than an extra hour of sleep on Sunday morning, belated return of the hour they lost in March when clock hanls were jumped forward 50 minutes by act of Congress.
 Practically. clock-hands are set forward with less trouble than they are set back, due to the mechanical arrangement O. their interiors.

Rheumatism Has Never Been Cured by Liniments or Lo-
 tions, and Never Will Be

You never knew of Rheumatism, that most painful source of suffering-being cured by liniments, lotions or other ex- ternal applications. And you will never see anything but temporary relief af- forded by such makeshifts.
 But why be satisfied with temporary relief from the bangs of pain which are sure to return with increased severity, when there is permanent relief within your reach? Science has proven that Rheumatism is a disordered condition of the blood. How, then can satisfac- tory results be expected from any treatment that does not reach the blood,

British Navy Shows
 Astonishing Increase

London. october 25,--Figures made pub lie today on the growth of the British navy show that the fleet, including aux iliaries, increased from 2.50o,000 tons dis placement to 6.500,000 tons, and the per- sonnel from 146000 to 406,0o0.
 Since the outbreak of the war 2l,5o0,VW soldiers have been transported by sea. Of this number 4391 weer lost. For the requirements of the British naval anu military forces more than S6.000000 tons of stores were trans shipped, while more than 24000000 tons were taken overseas for Great Britain's allies Transporta- tion also was provided for 100000 am mals.
 The organization of conveys, due to German submarine warfare, has been an important part of the work of the British navy since March, 1917, from which time there have been 75,s29 sailings, with the losses numbering only few hundred ves- sells.

Eight Produce Dealers
 Ordered to Close Doors

New York october 25.-The federal fooc board tonight ordered eight wholesale dealers in butter and eggs to close their establshmHts for week, following their conviction on charges of profiteer- ing in butter.

 1t was said that all of the convicted dealers offered to make large 'yoiun- tarv'' contributions to the Red Cross, but that this form of expiation was denied them because of the fragrance of tneir offenses.
 Following numerous reports of sugar hoarding, the board today adopted card syste into prevent overpurchases, and it was announced that the present allot- ment of two pounds month for each in- dividual may be reduced to pound and a half in order to make up the shortage caused by soverpurchases.

EACH SIDE LOYAL

 the plain truth.
 EACH SIDE LOYAL
 'I have no thought of suggesting that any political party is paramount in mat ters of patriotism. I feel too deeply the sacrifices which have been made in this war by all our citizens irrespective of party affiliations to harbor such an idea mean only that the difficulties and delicaces of our present task are of a sort that makes it imperativeS nee essarv that the nation should give it's undivided support 10 the government un- der unified leadership. and that a re- publican Congress would divide the lead ership.
 "The leaders of the minority in the present Congress have unquestionably been pro-war, but they have been anti administration. At almost every turn sirce we entered the war they have sought to take the choice of policy and the conduct of the war out of my hands, and put 1t under the control of instru- msntaiities of their own choosing.
 UNITY NECESSARY
 "This is no time eltner TOT divided eouf ciI or for divided leadership. Uni ty of command is as necessary now in civil activities as it is upon the field of battle. If the control of the House and the Senate should be taken away from the party now in power an oppos- ing majority could assume control oi legislation and oblige all action to be taken amidst contest and obstruction.
 The return of a republican majority either to House or Senate of the Congress would, however, be interpretative on the other side of the water as a repudiation of my leadership. Spokesmen of the re- publican party are urging you to elect a republican Congress, in order to back up and support the President, but even ii they should in this impose upon some credulous voters on this side of the wa ter, they would impose on no one on the other side It is well understood there, as we'll as here, that the republican lead CTS desire not so much to support the President as to control him.
 ALLIES POSTED
 "The peoples of the allied countries with whom we are associated against Ger many are quite familiar with the sig nificance of elections. They would find it very difficult to believe that the voters Of the United States had chosen to sup port their President by electing to the Congress majority of those who are not in fact in sympathy with the attitude and action of the administration.
 'J need not tell you. my fellow coun- trymen, that l am asking your support not for my own sake, or for the sake of a political party, hut for the sake of thc nation itself in order that it, in inward purpose of unity, may the bet ter become evident to the world. In ordinary times I would not feel at lib- erty to maKe sucn an allusion to you In ordinary times divided eoursels can be endured without permanent hurt to the country, But these are not ordinary tines.
 sIf in these advanced critical days it is your wish to sustain me with un- divided nlinds.I beg that you will say so IT, way which it will not be pos sible to misunderstood either here at home or among our associates on the other side of the sea. l submit my difficulties and my hopes to you.

LONDON, Dec. 23.-William
Hohenzollern has arranged for him
self a Christmas celebration after the
traditional German style, as far as
the circumstances will pa-mit, ac-
cording to a dispatch to the Daily
Express from Amsterdam today. the
arrangements will include elaborate
religious ceremonies on Christmas
eve. The idea OF using the village
chapel, however, has proved i'm
practicable for various reasons. one
accordingly, will be held in the draw.
of them being the fear of popular
hostile demonstrations. The service,

The eX-emperor eSired to nave the
court chaplain, DR.. Ernest Won Dry
ander, come from Berlin to preach
the sermon at the Christmas eve
ceremony, but the Berlin go yernment
refused permission for the chaplain
to go to Holland, according to the
dispatch. The service consequently
will be conducted by German mis-
sicnary from Zeist, near Afnerongen.
but Herr Hohenzollern himself will
deliver the sermon.
The feature of the Christmas din
ner will be the turkey. In accord
ance with Prussian family custom
Herr Hohenzollern will do the cary
ing himself. There also will be q
plum pudding, made after an old
English recipe, which 1t is supposed
