NIGHT WILL NOT HALT AIR EXPRESS
 SERVICE PLANNED
Gigantic Planes Will Fly by Compass Between London and Calcutta, Carrying
 Cargo and Passengers

London, October 26.-(By the Asso- ciated ress.)-Danger of flying at night will not interrupt the aerial ex- press service already being planned here for flights between London and Cairo or Calcutta, say aviation experts. The great machines designed for this work will fly by compass throughout the night, with powerful lamps lighted on their wings and the instruments in front of the pilot brilliantly illumi- mated. Lights will be turned on in the cabins and the members of the crew who are off duty will turn in and sleep as they do on steamships.
 If the weather has been bad during the day time and it clears up at dusk the delayed machines will leave at once in order that their cargoes and passen- gers may be delivered on time at their destination It is believed that business men travelling from London to Petro- grad or Rome will prefer to journey at night, so that they may sleep during the voyage and waste no time.
 The wind which is an important fac tor in aviation, is nearly always less strong at night
 Each airplane will carry powerful navigation lights, visible 20 or 30 miles off, and also luminous number. There will be frequent landing places along the way. so that whatever it's need, a machine will always be able to land.
 Each landing ground will be bril- liantly lighted and near it illuminated wind arrows will automatically indi- cate the direction of the wind knowl. edge. of which is essential to the pilot of 8 machine about to land. All ma. chimes landing will display a bright
 light of a particular color, in order tc

GERMAN DUGOUTS EQUIPPED WITH
 HOME COMFORTS
Running Water, Steam Heat, Pianos and Wine Cellars Found in Enemy Of-
 ficers' Quarters

With the American Armies in the Field September 19.-(Correspon6lAnce of the Associated Press)-A the Ncomforts of aone, with some added. lpkuries, were found in the dugouts and living quar- ters which the Germans were forced to abandon when the American troops smashed through the St. Mhiel salient and took the territory which the German arsry had occupied for four years.
 Running water, electric lights, steam heat. tennis courts. bowling alleys swim ming pools, pianos and wine cellars were some of the up-to-dste conveniences which Uncle Sam "moppers- that followed on the heels of the rushing American soldiers found in some of the quarters of the German officers.
 T'he more elaborate quarters were To- cated in the thickly-get woods which abound in this part of France and most Of them represented the work of four years. The majority of them were of elaborate rustice construction and usu- ally had shell proof shelters connected with them. Furniture and decorations taken from the French inhabitants of neigllhoring villages formed the principal interior equipment.
 One of tho most unique of these of fcers' quarters was located in the little village of Euvezin, about 70 miles from Metz There were two tiers of rooms with broad balconies in front and all lighted by electricity. In the lower floor was an elaborate sitting room, contain ing richly upholstered furniture, pi- ano, oil paintings, inlaid tables and bev- eled mirrors. This apparently was the headquarters of a high officer, for in it were found many maps, plans and a telephone switchboard. Outside was bowling alley and a small swimming pool.
 At one side was a wine cellar well stocked with applewine, beer and other beverages dear to the German heart Immediately adjoining was q shell proof dugout, 70 feet deep and capable of holding 60 men Next to this was a shoemakers hut, where a number of womens shoes and slippers were found, indicating that the Germans had wom- en in their trenches. Higher up in the woods was a vegetable farm, and over looking all is an observatory, which gave a surpassing view of the country for miles around.
 Everything was confusion. Uniforms rifles pots dishes books and all kinds of military paraphernala were heaped about everywhere, indicating that the Germans had fled in great haste.
 That the Germans expected to occupy this territory for a long time Is shown by the character of their trenches. In many cases these were of concrete and equipped with almost many conven- fences as a dwelling house. Some of them had running water, telephone com munication. heating stoves and piped. drainage.

U. s. Aerial Bombs of
 Incredible Size in Use
TsxrTwEwyr,-v--

Behind the American Lines in France, October 6.-(Correspondence of the As- sociated Press )-Bombs of an incredible size are now carried by American air craft, and some idea of their destructive capacity may be gained from the fact that they cannot be dropped at lower altitude than 5000 feet, so greatly is the air disturbed by the explosion.
 An amusing incident occurred when the first of these was dropped on enemy territory, which is much harried by American bombers and consequently bris- ties with searchlights and anti-aircraft batteries. So terrific was the explosion that every searchlight went out instant ly, and the airman was deprived of the landmarks on which he had counted to find his way home
 Americans in this squadron have had remarkable success. In two weeks they accounted for 26 enemy machines, F of which were crashed. and one balloon. Alt are imbued with the idea of maintaining the offensive under all circumstances.
 Recently two of them, finding them- selves cut off by twenty of the enemy while returning to camp, refused to seek safety in flight. Instead they swept up at the German machines, which were all above them, and so rattled the enemy

From the Rehoboth Sunday Herald
 General Pershing told in Paris story about d young American soldier.
 He talked a lot on the voyage over " said the general, "of the delight he would take in sightseeing when on leave.
 Don't miss Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, said a French volunteer.
 'You bet, I wont" said he.

 In field about half a dozen enemy airplanes were discovered, most of them with their propellers running and pre- pairing for flight. The American ma chimes swooped down within 100 feet or the ground and circled about the field, sweeping it with the fire from their ma chine guns until all of the German ma chimes were blazing and the men attend Ing them either shot or driven into nearby wood.
 Meantime bombs had been dropped on all the hangars and on the chateau itself, which burned like torch and lighted the attackers on their return journey.

 STRENGTHENING
 HOLD ON RUSSIA

MOSCOW, May 15.-Through the capture of Rostov the Germans have gained control of the Caucasus grain districts of the basin of the Don. The coal, iron and oil fields of northern Russia are now cut off from the Cau- casus except for single railroad, which the Germans are now threaten ing.
 Coupled with the fall of Set s.stopol and the overthrow of the Ukranian rada and the establishment of a bour- geoise government wholly under Ger. man domination, the capture of Ros' tov has created great uneasiness in Moscow and Petrograd.
 The German advance in central Russia is greatly feared, and 1t is considered that the Soviets must either submit to the Germans or re- treat to the eastward.

ALASKA'S GLACIER BEAR
 SUBJECT IF DISPUTE

JUNEAU, May 14.-Contrary to a belief popular among big game hunt CTS that the blue glacier bear of Alaska is of a distinct species, Al Hasselborg, who, with Dr. Harry S. Worth, curator of mammals at the University of California, has made a special study of these animals, as- seTts that the great, morose haunter of the ice rivers is no more than color phase of the common black bear. MT. Hasselborg, who has been studying Alaskan bear for nearly twenty years, is regarded as one of the best posted men in the territory on the animals
 Other men, taking exception to MT. Hasselborg's statement, point out that the blue glacier bear is more "rangy" in build than the black. They are likewise more vicious, 1t is as- serted, and have been known to at tack man on sight, and keep com ing so long as the breath of life re- mains iR them.

REWARD FOR BOND TALKS
Is OPERATION, AND SIGHT

Washington, May Blinded by
shell explosion at the battle of Cal
lipoli in the early months of the war,
Thomas Skeyhill. an "Anzac" private,
had his sight restored here today by
simple operation on the vertebrae
of his neck.
Examination of Skeyhill, who has
been lecturing throughout the coun.
try in the interests of the Third
Liberty Loan. showed a vertebrae at
the head of the spinal column slightly
out of position. A correction easily
was made, and the result that the
blindness was dispelled. Physicians
explained that the displaced verte-
brae had impaired nerves indispen-
sable to sight.
