Flying Tank Is One
Of Winning Factors

London.-The flying tank was a
strong factor in ending the war. An
armor-plated scout machine, invulner-
able against ordinary ground fire,
speedy and with remarkable climbing
power, 1t was used almost exclusively
for ground strafing-the most demoral-
izing OF any form of warfare. The
flying tanks" got far behind the Ger
man lines to where great bodies of the
retreating German forces were wait
ing or moving. Wherever they at
tackled they demoralized the enemy
and with the minimum of danger TO
the fiiers

Women to Take to

London.-Women aviators? Sur
est thing imaginable, says Miss Ger
trude Bacon, well known avistriN.
She says women have been kept
from avistion during the war, even
in auxiliary services, because they
might have to fight, IL they should
accidentally run into an enemy
plane, and men wouldn't have that.
But after the war! David sighed
for the wings of a dove, but / will

ARE CLEAN-LIVEO BODY
Pershing Says Sammies' Con.
duct Is Exemplary.
Denies Reports of Innmoderate Drink.
ing Among U. S. Troops
In France.

Washington, Jan. 24.-General Per
shing says in a cablegram to Secre-
tary Baker, in reply to reports as to
immoderate drinking among the
men, that there has never been sim.
liar body of men to lead as clean
lives as the American soldiers in
France.
General Pershing's message was
made public by Mr.. Baker in this let
ter to Governor Capper of Kansas
1t Is as follows:
There has never been a similar
body of men to lead as clean lives
as our American soldiers In France
They have entered this war with the
highest devotion to duty and with
no other idea than to perform these
duties in most efficient manner pos
sible. They fully realize their obli
cation to their own people, their
friends and the country.
ga rigid program of instruction is
carried out daily with traditional
American enthusiasm. Engaged in
healthy, interesting exercises in the
open air with simple diets, officers
and men, like trained athletes, are
ready for their task. Forbidden the
use of strong drink and protected by
stringent regulations against sexual
evils and supported by their own
moral courage, their good behavior is
the subject Of most favorable com
ments, especially by our allies.
American mothers may rest as
sured that their sons are a credit to
them and to the nation, and they
may well look forward to the prouu
day when on the battlefield these
splendid men will shed a new luster
on American manhood"

Washington, Jan. 24.-To curtail

Before the passenger service can
be reduced much more, in order to
prevent many disturbances, the great

House Desires lnformation.
Mr.. McAdoo was called before the
committee because of the crisis devel

and because the House desires to
have complete information on what

are in view toward relieving the coal

of the railroad control bill.

"The railroads will do their own
financing under the government con

1t is improbable, Mr.. McAdoo said
the revolving fund will have to be
used to make up deficiencies in op
Grating cost.
''The amount of railroad securities
that must be matured this year will
be about s222,0O0,OOO," the director
general said, with equal amounts fol

AUSTRIAN STRIKE ENDS
New Outbreak Seen as Bitter In
ternal Situation SmoIders.
War-Worn PopuIace Cry for Food
and Want Cessation of
Hostilities.

Amsterdam, Jan. 23.-The Austro-
Hungarian internal situation seems
to have abated somewhat in intensity
but the latest indications are that
beneath the surface the fire Of dis
content Is merely smoldering and
that at no distant date it may break
out in a veritable conflagration.
Politicians apparently with optimis.
tic utterances have quieted a situa-
ton that admittedly was fraught with
grave apprehensions SO far as the
dual monarchy Is concerned, but the
war-worn populace and the food
shortage are likely again to bring the
people into sharp discord with the
authorities.
Tie general strike which it is as.
serted took more than a million men
and women from their work-a large
proportion of them engaged in war
industries, has virtually ended, but at
last accounts the people still were
cla1noring for food and for a cessa-
ton of hostilities.
People Cry for Peace.
At the moment of the outburst and
throughout the days when the discord
was strongest, the government show
ed it was alive to the necessity of
calming the unrest. Immediately the
cry OF peace" arose, there came from
the halls Of the government the an.
swer:
"We are ready for peace without
annexations or indemnities," and IL
was added that this feeling was shared
to the utmost by tie amnernr.kinp
