Evidence of Failure.

We frequently find men of culture
who take pride in their art or their

proud of the fact. Is it not rather an
evidence that their culture is failing to

their highest er?-Minneapolis

MAI. SCHOFIELD
HALTS FLYING
TILL MONDAY

SOUTHER FELL, ApTH O.-udJOl
Earl S. Sch0feld, commanding officer
at Souther Field, Friday ordered al
work suspended until Monday, April
Z, when flying instruction will be re-
sumed.
The publicity officer at Souther Field
wishes to announce that he did not
pass upon the articles published Fri
day evening in The Times-Recorder
and is not responsible for the state
ments furnished the paper by an unau-
thorized officer, which contained mac
curacies and theories not supported
by the facts.
At his request, Lieut.. John R. Irwin
post signal officer, received his dis
charge today.
- "a. saa~
Lieut.. Floyd A Wilson has returned
to duty from a leave of absence.
The person writing the article pub
lished last Sunday entitled THE Fly
ing Officers of Souther Field" was ask
ed what prompted the article in ques-
ton. He replied: There were three
thoughts foremost in my mind as a
basis for the story.
First, To say good word for men
who have volunteered to serve their
country and who are bringing to the
atrenion of he world he new method
of transportation which promises to
be more important than all others oom-
bined,
Second, To encourage youth to
push forward their studies in school
and to take the college instruction, as
it will be seen in looking over the list
that all fiiers of Souther Field have
had more or less of a college educa-
ton and to be masters of an art OF
this magnitude, an education is of vi
tai Importance.
Third, To call attention to the
character of the men who fly. They
must be reliable, responsible and free
from all habits injurious to body and
mind; thus when you see a success
full navigator of the air you may rest
assured that in ninety-nine per cent. of
ahe cases he possesses all the qualifica-
lions of fine cultured gentleman"

was shot and killed last week as he

advance at the Polish frontier. The
Germans are delaying their evacua-

Polish leaders allege that Germans
are selling arms to the bolshevists
under the pretenSe of aiding the
Society for Provisioning Ukrain-
ia In Lituania and Ukraine, the
bolshevists are issuing proclama-
tions that they have come to re-
store order. Dispatches state, how
ever, that bolshevist soldiers have
been seen carrying banners inscribed
with the words, Long live the Red
Terror, and Death to Non-Work-
erS."
Men have been arrested at wilma
and other places and have been re-
leased later, it is said. on payment
of sums ranging from 50 to 10000
rubleS, the side OF the ransom be-
ing in proportion to the terror OF
the victim and his power to pay. The
bolsheyistS are especially bitter
against the Poles, it being reported
that a declaration OF holy war
against Poland by the Moscow gov
ernmcnt makes it the right and
duty Of every bolShcyist to kill the
Poles as enemies OF mankind"
There are fewer burning houses
than formerly, but it is charged that
where houses are spared, their in
mates are slain. 1--WE have saved the
nest, but destroyed the Birds is a
remark attributed to one bolshevist
leader.
