AIRPLANES HELP
OUT INFANTRY
They Not Only Infict Slaughter But
They Disorganize the Enemy-There
Is Great Need for More Planes.

Behind British Lines in France, July
is Correspondence Of the Associated
Pressl.-The uses Of the airplane as an
auxiliary to infantry in action are being
continually extended. II is the opinion
OF military leaders here that the need for
more and more machines and trained
men IS shown by the success OF the low
lying airplanes in operating against the
Germans during the past two months.
On the western front this spring two
factors German reeklessness Of life and
the success Of the allies in holding back
the German airmen gave the opportu-
nifty Of developing on a large scale this
method Of harrassing attack.
The success Of the low-fying airplanes
is of two kinds-th slaughter they in
fiict, and secondly, the DISCRIMINATION
they cause. This second factor is of
more importance than most people real
ize. An unexpected check TO troops on
march is always troublesome. Men won
der what has happened Suddenly bombs
begin TO fan, men are killed, horses STAN
pede, wagons are smashed and the road
blocked. Until the allied airplanes are
seen, the terror is mysterious. When
they are SEEN with the irresistible i'm.
plication that the German planes have
failed to drive them off, the psychology.
cal effect is very severe.
The work of the British airmen re.
ceiyed reluctant tribute in a recent il.
sue of the Berlin Vorwaerts, which was
captured in raid on the German
trenches. The German newspaper, in an
article full of apparently sincere admira.
ton for British fliers, said: Never be.
fore have the English thrown their air.
men in such great masses behind our
front as they are doing in their present
retreat"
But the higher command Of the Brit.
ish air force is by no means satisfied A
high official pointed out to the Associat-
ed Press correspondent in discussing this
phase of air work, that never before
was the need Of the air force for trained
men and finished material SO urgent as
it il to-day" He added ut has been
said loosely that the allies are masters
of the air and have achieved supremacy
in flying But the aerial situation is too
fluid to justify such words As a cold
fact, complete mastery of the air could
only come If there were no German ma.
chimes able to take the air
Superiority is another matter, and it
is true that at the moment this may be
claimed by the allies For example the
British record Of bombs dropped in April
shows IL to one against the Germans.
The present superiority can be main.
tanned and must be maintained, not only
on general grounds, but particularly for
the development of the new tactics of
the low flying airplane
"What is needed is more machines and
more trained men, and it is the people,
the men and women of the allied coun-
tries, who in the last analysis must give
or withhold effective superiority in the
air"

every Man Should Be Homelyn--Irvin
Cobb.

Irwin S. Cobb the great humorist, says
in the July American Magazine in writ.
ing about the advantages of being home
ly:
II have no objection whatsoever to
children being beautiful, or to young
girls being beautiful, or to women Of
whatever age being beautiful. But | do
insist that for a man not to be homely
is his misfortune. The handsome male
starts with handicap at the very cradle.
Women of all ages insist on cooling over
him and talking baby talk to him and
chucking him under the chin and kissing
him especially kissing him--snd since
he is not of an age TO appreciate these
attentions the whole procedure must an
noy him fearfully. Should his beauty
last into his boyhood, the chances are
that he has the sort of mother who will
make him wear his hair long and force
him to go about publicly in broad lace
collar and black velvet suit with sash
about his waist, and that means other
boys will call him by Extensively apt
nicknames, and generally make his young
life a burden to him. Most woeful of il
all, if still his beauty sticks to him after
he has arrived at mans estate, only de-
termined and persistent struggle against
the odds of destiny and of circumstances
can save him from drifting into the
ranks of the matinee idols, the moving
picture stars and the floor walkers in the
department stores"

SELF GOVERNMENT
FOR INDIA PLANNED
Indian People Must First Undergo a
System of Training to Prepare
Them for the New Re-
sponsibility.

London, July 49, british Wireless
Service Eventually to set up in India
responsible self government is the
avowed purpose of the plan to limit
home rule for that county which has
been prepared for submission to the
British Parliament by Edwin S. Mon
tague, secretary for India, and Baron
Chelmsford, viceroy and governor general
of India.
Before this goal of self government can
be attained, however, the authors of
the new plan say, the Indian people
should have period of training. They
avow that the proposed scheme Of gov
ernment is temporary expedient in
tended TO provide a method of training
in government and say the ultimate at
tainment of the desired goal depends
upon the Indian people themselves. 1T
would not be fair to give it to them
until they fulfill the necessary condi-
tions,' say the secretary for India and
the viceroy.
The report has been made public by
the government for purposes of discus
sion and criticism. 1t has not been def
nitely adopted in all its details by the
war cabinet.
Leading up to a description of their
new plan, the official announcement says
that declarations of both our own and
American statesmen concerning the lib
eraizing of the aims of the allies have
given new force and vitality to the
growing demand among the progressive
section of the india people for self
government.
The viceroy and secretary of India
propose that the new government in In
dia shall be composed of the following:
Proviyial legislatures to be composed
Of directly elected representatives.
A vice regal legislature for all India
to be composed of two chambers, the
legislative assembly of India and the
council of state.
The Indian privy council, members
Of which are to be appointed by the king
emperor
A council of princes.
According to official announcement of
the provisions of the scheme an increas-
ing degree of responsibility is TO be Civ

Our Consciousness Of Money.

Many factors go toward lowering the

One is our intense consciousness of
money. The discovery OF money is re-

they might eat well, drink well, and
wed fair women; the lust Of Ahab was
rather unusual. At other times. in
Babylon. in Venice. wealth brought
material benefits first. later only dis

middle class did wealth become the
greatest force, for 1t alone could make
the middle class equal with their fel-
