SHARP AMERICAN EYES WATCH THE GERMANS
 "OVER THERE"
(By Captain in Aviation Corps)

(By a Captain in Aviation CorpS)
 Hardly train moves within miles back of the German trenches, or squadron of men come up for relief, or digging begun on new series Of emplacements but a pair of keen eyes steadily watching from great obser- vation balloons just behind the Allied front, takes notice of it. Every move ment, every activity is registered un- til schedule of the usual enemy rou- tine is built up and the average amount of motion known. And de- parture from this schedule is suspic- ious. A train running late or with more cars than usual, men in the trenches being relieved too frequently new roads or emplacements being built too earnestly give the first hint that Fritz" across the line, is up to something.
 A keen balloonist notes any of these changes and at once telephones down to the ground, "An extra train of six cars passed at 1O40." Half mile farther down the line another pair of eyes reports, Large convoy moving up to front, range so-and-so.' v Still little farther down another sus- picious circumstance is noted, until the General Staff down below, assem- bling all these straws, foresees the be- ginning of big offensive across the line. Counter measures are taken, bat teries directed, conveys and trenches smashed up, and the enemy's plans thrown askew.
 Offensive on "Our Side"
 Possibly, however. the offensive is to come from the balloonist's own side

tect and save those things.
 We of America arc in this war to protect and save the house of civili- zation and the proud trophies that rep resent not only our own struggles and sacrifices but those we inherited from sires who shed their blood for them
 "Put Out the Fire Quickly"
 Put out the fire. The more quickly we realize that it is our house that is burning, the more quickly we shall be free to cut away the blackened walls and make the house habitable and secure We want to see the fire men disperse, the police hustle the in cendiary to the lookup, and the adjus- ters come in and settle the damages.
 The way to hasten this consummat- ion is by aiding our firemen-our Ar my and Navy-in every possible way. If we cant carry water or wield the ax on burnin timbers, we can stand back of the men who are doing the work, our work, yours and mine. We can pour out our dollars to help them. We can see that the fire fighters are fed and clothed while they are on the lob: we can take care of them when they fall injured in our cause.
 House on fire. Civilization on fire!
 The man who says this is not Amer ica's war is asleep in a burning house and does not deserve to be saved by the splendid valorous llremen who are fighting to rescue him.

KAISER COMPARED TO
 MAD INCENDiARY WHO HAS FIRED THE HOUSE
 ()i; CIVILIZATION

The Committee on Public Infornat- ion issues the following, written by Meredith Nicloison:
 Civilization may be likened to a house where a family live in comfort and ease and the enjoyment of the privileges and security that represent thousands of years labor.
 When a house is on fire 1t becomes the instant duty of the neighbors and of the government immediately res ponsible for the protection of the householder to render aid-not today or tomorrow, but the moment the flames become visible, and it is known that the home and it's inmates are threatened.
 House on fire. We hear cries in the street, the rattle and jar of the engines and hose carts as they hurry to the scene of configration. The fire is spreading; not one but a hundred homes are threatened!
 Torch to Civilizations House
 When the Kaiser began his war for world domination he applied torch to that House of Civilization I have visualized as home, the repository of every good and perfect gift that has been won for humanity, the very free dom that is it's foundation, and the peace that is it's corner stone.
 The Kaiser is mad incendiary. He stole upon the House of Civilization ill the right and tossed a. burning brand through an open window. Like a thief who applies a match to the rear of house to stampede the inmates and distract their attention while he plunders, the Kaiser expected to satis- fy a long-pondered scheme of robbery and conquest Civilization slept the sleep of peace to awake in terror.
 The Kaiser's army, perfected thru years of stern training to aid the pyro- maniac lord of the Hohenzollerns in his malign purposes has resorted to every conceivable atrocity to terror ize civili.ation--not merely to destroy it's house but to murder the inmates CT reserve them for a more hideous fate than death.
 When we say that this is war to make the world a safe place for de- mocracy, we mean also that it is to preserve that House of Civilization in which democracy Is the altar and san ctuary.
 House Oil fire. It is not for you and me to stand outside and say that it is only neighbor's house that is men, aced. The first German soldier who set foot on Belgian soil threatened your home and mine. He flourished brand at the house of civilization in which you and I live. He attacked law, liberty, mercy justice-everything that strengthens and adorns that proud house in which we of America have lived in contentment and peace.
 There are things in the humblest home that the owner would not lose without a struggle. When the house gets afire the inmates spring to pro

 edge of all the details of action, em- boldened, probably, to move up much nearer the German lines than usual, in the belief that the enemys artil- lery will be driven off The opening bombardment is . timc of ceaseloss and vital work, spotting shot by shot, watching for new enemy batteries to open up, moving the barrage fire back and forth with tho advance of the troops. Any error here may send the steel wall into the observers own troops CT cost scores of lives by fail ure to make complete demolition of the enemy's defense.
 Hostile airplane overhead is apt to break in through the telephone wire at any moment. A German avi- ator, more adventurous than his fel. lows. is sweeping down, perhaps under a protecting cloud, in an attempt to put out the ever-watchful eyes. The observer makes ready his parachute, the machine guns on the ground below click off a rain of lead at the invader, and the windlass men start bringing the big envelope to ground with all possible speed. Perhaps the invader is driven off; perhaps the balloon is stricken into flames and the balloon ist forced to parachute to the ground, In either case it is all part of the days work which adds adventure and romance to the responsible work done by the balloonist.
 Such is, briefly-very briefly-the duty and work of the ha"oon observer Calm, patient, ever watcAful, he rides far above the ground as the great en- velope sways on it's long cable. Hours pass, perhaps, but finally, as inevitably as fate, the reward comes. A single flash, slight movement across the line, and another tiny claw of the Ger man eagle reveals itself for the allied artillerymen beneath.
 The vital importance and develop ment of this work has hardly as yet been suspected in this country Over there" balloon observation has become a science which, while per haps less spectacular than airplane ob- servation, is none the less essential. The balloonist, riding steadily for hours at time with the German lines spread out before him, and in direct telephone communication with the ground. with his batteries, and with other balloons, amasses a maze of de- tails and accurate knowledge which his more vicarious and longer-winged air brother can not hope to secure.
 The United States is building up such a force literally from nothing. Last November the old field out West was over-grown with weeds, the gas reservoir out of repair, the whole place stagnant. In the last few months, however. the field has been cleared and brought back to activity, the ar once again is filled with big. friendly balloons. and keen-faced men are be- ing trained for immediate service abroad. Already the first American detachments are in France, the van guard of a large American balloon force which ultimately will be as com plete as any other branch of the Ar my.

Hioh in Air for Hours.

Few of us here realize that the big envelopes commonly ascend as high as 800 feet and that they stay for hours poised in mid-air to perform the responsible duties assigned them. Usually the ascent is made anywhere from ? 1-2 to 12 miles from the en- emy's front line trenches, depending on the power of his artillery, the dl- rection of the wind, and the activity of the salient. In any case the obser- yer has a circle of vision of about 8

spirit of the utmost confidence among
the allied officers and men, resulting
from the magnificent manner in
which the Germans had been held up
