Battlefield Town

Gettysburg, Pa, Dec. 31.-For sew
eral years Gettysburg has been hav-
ing trouble in having the accounts
of its borough officials audited and

When the war broke out two of
the young men who had just been
elected as auditors, Robert Blocher
and Davis Kend!ehart, went off to
do their bit for their country, ne
cess!tating appointments to be made.
When they returned they were
again placed on the ticket, without
opposition, together with another
young soldier, Edwin Shoop, to he
giver their former positions at the
election in November. Now when
the time is about here for the work
of the auditors to begin Blocher and
Shoop have accepted positions in
other places and Kendlehart is left

THE FLYING PARSON

Lieutenant B. W. Maynard who, until his airplane went out of commission near Omaha Thursday morning, was leading avi- atOr in the transcOntinental air race over a course from New York to San Francesca and return, Is upholding his extraordinary record made in the recent New York Toronto flight. He was a student ln the Wake Forest Theological Seminary Ill North Carolina when the war broke out. He went into the air service two years ago last summer and got to be so expert that he did SIS loops ill 67 minutes, and his superiors, believing him too valuable to be riskcd in combat work, made him teacher in the advanced flying school. That he had the courage which would have made him an ace had be gone to the front IS shown by his record in the hazardous busi- ness of stunt flying A few weeks ago he worked his plane up to the almost mcred- ibe speed of three miles minutes. On the first half of the transcOntinental race he averaged approximately 132 miles an hour for the time in actual flying, or an average of little more than two and One-siXth miles per minute The lay mind can hardly com prehend such sustained speed.
 From an obscure theological college student to a leading flyer of the world IS another change wrought by the war It.. Maynard is but one of the many whom war has led into strange adventures Many of them will never return to the old channel of life. In the case of the "Flying ParsOn, y however, it is different. He is going back to Wake Forest when he gets his discharge. He is going to take up his theological studies where he left them at the call of war. Whether or not they will contain the same appeal now as then not even he will know until he has tried the old life again. It may turn out that a premier aviator has been spoiled to make a mediocre preacher, but it is more probable that he will be even of greater service in the 'Master's Vine yard' by having been in the class of what the world terms dOers, by being able to peer beneath the shell that most men usually wear. and his share in the adventure will after all be more than a memory.

ONE POSSIBLE ISOLATION

The recent statement of General Mitchell, chief of the U. s. army air ser vice. that American isolation no longer eX- ists with the coming of the modern alrplane referred of course to the bOasted isolation which vast expenses of water separating us from both Europe and Asia had effected. Modern inventions and practice have ended that isolation, and, whether we will 1t or not, the fact must be recognized for our own safety.
 There can be made another isolation If the people of America prefer it to assuming the responsibilities that closer relations with the nations of the outside world na turally involve How 1t can be established was recently described, and actually ad- vocated, by Senator Harding, republican, of Ohio, in an address condemning the league of nations.
 Acknowledging that many persons had written him that isolation no longer exist ed, he declared: "Ours is truly an expanded influence and world interest, but there is yet for us splendid isolation. The sons of America, 2,OOO,OO0 of them, crossed the seas in spite of submarine ruthlessness and every danger Germany could devise, and 100000 were ready, and 5,OOO,OOO would have prepared if needed, and they heroical- ly fought and effectively taught arrogant Germany to respect American rights and left wholesome impress on the remainder of the world'

And continues the senator, having taught the lesson, and brot our soldiers back home, America should say to them all. friends and enemies alike I've dc not mean to mix i'll again, unless some bully in making row infringes our rights and murders our citizens and destroys our Jaw .ful property. In that event We vita be forced to come back, but we will come more promptly next time
 Such is the isolation conceived by the opponents of the league of nations. An army of 100000 men, supported by 5,0OO,- .OOO more ready to prepare. A navy of com parable size with the army must of course be feature in such isolation. Hundreds of millions of dollars must be depended on an aerial program in order to insure an cffcc- tive isolation and all of these things to be ready to mix in WAR when some bully .infringes our rights.' Such an isolation would be no more splendid than WaP Is splendid and glorious The cost of its es- Itablishment and maintainancc Would% be many times greater than the cost of co- IoDpration with the other great nations of the world for peace.
 The opponents of the league, however, prefer to prepare for war than to associate with others for peace. Rcactionarlcs, they recognize no progrcssivcncss Tn any one Senator Harding continued his remarks saving, But suppose it makes for the promised peace, I still prefcr' and accord ing to him the majority of Americans pre- fer to remain out of the league of nations.
 The prevention of war, he ayers is impossible A question had been directed to the league opponents asking, he said: |" If you won't have this (thc league) what have you to offer?' It is the well-known call for constructive proposals in place Of obstructive discussion When some one proposes an impossible thing, 1t Is not fit challenge to demand constructive sub Stitute.'
 Modern sciences having destroyed the Isolation created by natural elements, Sena- tor Harding, and, as he is an intimate ot Lodge, and others of the leaders of the op- position, of Chairman Hays of the repub- |Hcan national committee, and he himself chairman of the last republican national |convention that nominated MT.

 For one thing it was brot out that when ever the university admits a freshman it means a financial loss of $45O, for the cost Iof providing the freshman with a years tuition is $65O, and the price he pays for it lis $2O0 Education, in fact, is sold far be- low cost; and such is typically the way uni versailles conduct business and expend in come in widening educational opportunity.

An invention that must stand high among the remarkable accessories of the war was contributed by Prof. R. w. Wood, of John Hopkins University, when he pro vided the United States army with it's means of invisible signaling. A signal that cannot be seen by anybody but the person signaled evidently has advantages over one that anybody can see and try to read. Pro lessor Wood achieved invisibility by using rays of light either above or below the visible spectrum, and these rays could be seen only by the help of a receiving mstru- Iment that made them visible. Using an ap- paratus fitted with field glasses thru which it could so to speak, be aimed at the receiv ing station, messages were written tele- graphically with the infra-red and with the ultraviolet rays that the eye never nor mally see, and be read plainly enough by the person equipped with apparatus to make them visible.
