SquadrOnS in Battle Formation
VIII Fly Over Ninth Dis
trict in April
GERMAN AND AMERICAN
PLANES IN "ACTION"
Famous Aces Will Fly Machines and
Simulate Actual Fighting i'm the
ClOuds.-May Come Here

MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, March II.
Squadrons Of aerOplanes in battle for
nations will fly all over the Ninth Dis
trict during the Victory Loan Cam
paign that opens April 21, Chairman
a. X. Rogers Of the Ninth District
War Loan Organization announced to-
day.
The plans that he unfolded include
the most elaborate aeronautical pro-
gram ever attempted in America and
will result in the coming to the north
west of men who carried the fight to
Fritz in the clouds over French battle
fields
AS a starter, the War Department
will send to this district squadron of
American and German planes, the lat
ter captured during the war. Famous
aces will fly the machines and they will
simulate actual aerial fighting in all
the cities they visit
In conjunction with the Flying Cir
Gus" the Ninth District has a cOmpre-
hensive program of IFS own that en-
braces the use of all famous flyers of
this district In each state, will be
selected the men who have made the
best records on the other side and they
will be asked to drive the battle planes
that will be sent here.
Twenty-three of the overseas men
have volunteered their services to date
and they have promised to get enough
more men to fly all the planes the Vic
tory Liberty Loan Committee can Sc
cure.
The example of these young men is
the most stimulating feature of the
campaign said Chairman Rogers to-
day. INSTEAD Of coming home and
resting on their laurels they are eager
and anxious to do all in their power to
Finish the Job right. Those of us
think we have done all we could by
buying bonds and want to quit now,
had better think Of these young chaps
who risked' their lives and killed the
enemies of their countries. After all
they have done. they are ready now to
start all over again.
An effort is being made to have one
or more of these aerOplanes visit Lady
smith during the campaign.

another nation. IN fact, it is
doubtful. if any nation has here

From Leslie's.
 The Christian religion has an influence in world affairs far beyond it's numerical strength. The non Christian faiths all most double the Christian, and Con- fucianists and Mohammedans together are within a few millions of the total number of Christians. The Russo-Jap- aDese war was the first instance in which a non Christian. or so-called heathen, power defeated a great Chris tian power. Were the heather faiths as a aggressvely missionary as the Christian religion II would constitute a menace that could not be overlooked. Mohamme- danism has generally been recognized as the haraest proposition the Christian missionary has to meet The war will undoubtedly nave a tremendous intlu- ence upon it's future. The failure to rouse the Mohammedan world to the cry of a "holy war; revealed a lack of solidarity in Mohammedanism. The complete de- feat and crippling of Turkey. which has been looked upon as the leader or the Moslem faith, is blow to it's spread as a world religion. The breakdown Of traditions and racial barriers as the re- suit of the war, and the influence on education in combating ignorance, which has always been the main reliance Of Mohammedanism, point to it's ultimate downfall before Christian education ana freedom.
