ing brush or rubbish, where in most
cases water is not available, an or
gained neighborhood fire company
equipped with chemical cart would
be of the greatest utility.
The office of farm management of
the United States department of agri-
culture has for some time urged the
use of chemical apparatus as more
effective than water against fires on
the farm, especially where kerosene,
gasoline or other oil is involved, and
as an Indispensable reinforcement to
the use of water in all cases. That is
secured in the California plan together
with an even more effective thing, the
organization of the men of the COM
munity in such way that they can
make their efforts almost Immediately
effective against any fire.

WEAK IN AIR AT THE START
Great Britain Had but Four Squad
rons of AirpIanes, but Made
Rapid Strides.

London.-The declaration of war by
Great Britain at midnight, August 5,
1914, found the Royal Flying corps
with only four squadrons in being
representing we'll under 100 airplanes
Three of these Squadrons went instant
~ to France A new squadron fol-
lowed these pioneers in about ten days
time, while a fifth squadron modified
and set out in "a hours, reaching the
fighting zone.
In those early days of the war ma
chimes We're used simply for strategical
reconnaissance. It was not until after
the battle of the Aisne, when settled
lines of warfare were established, that
artillery fire control from the air and
the cruder forms of cooperation with
the infantry were practiced and de
veIOped.

Specializing often Wins.

Many persons do not market by par
eel post because they do not have a
large variety of produce or because
their supply is available only part of
the year. While it is true that con-
tinuouS supply of a number of products
is more satisfactory to customers, such
a supply is not absolutely necessary
in order to establish parcel post
trade
Many persons have secured custom
ers by specializing in one or two kinds
of produce, such as butter or eggs,
which can be supplied during the en-
tire year, and then these customers
have offered an outlet for other COM
modfties which can be furnished only
occasionally or for produce which is
rarely to be had in city markets. In
most OF these cases it was necessary
only to send a letter or card to salts
fed regular customers asking them if
they wished to obtain certain kinds OF
produce that were for sale at that
time.
Such letters tend to keep up a per-
sonal relationship between the pro-
Queer and his customers which makes
it easier to keep up business relations

Observation-Disclosures aerial aprons, or
how the Gothas were kept away,
might form one tense chapter in a
book about how the British baff1ed the
Hun air raiders. The last six months
of the war there was not single air
raid on London, due, in part, to the
fact that the city's defenseS were such
that they filed enemy flyers with ter

flying, because his nerves We're shat
tered A British aviator who by acct
dent was caught in the aerial barrage,
but managed to land safely near Lon
don, tossed on a bed, verging on in
sanity for weeks, so horrible was the
experience.
Roughly, there were three chief
weapons for dealing with Hun air
raiders; the aerial barrage, aided by
searchlightS; fast, fighting scout planes
that attacked the invaders, and aerial
aprons. The Germans, it may be noted,
were never able to perfect any scheme
to prevent British aviators from
bombing Rhine towns even in the day
time.
Aerial Aprons Queer Things
The aerial aprons were queer
things They reminded one of rope
portieres. Upon signal. captive bal
looms were sent a1oft from the out
skirts of the city, the balloons being
in pairs These buoyed up a curtain
of dangling ropes, a half-nile
long These aerial aprons served two
purposes: First, they forced the raid
ers to fly high, and when they flew
high they. could not drop bombs eff
fectively; second, any machine dart
ing into the ropes courted destruction.
When flying high they were met by the
British fighting scouts. These aerial
aprons were shifted daily as to height
SO enemy airmen could not be fore
warned.
London always had the protection
of four score a1rplanes during the
last year of war. These machines
could mount to 10000 feet. The avi-
ators We're picked night flyers. At
such heights it is difficult to see an
other airplane at 100 yards. But at
a given signal these birdmen took to
proaches to London. These brave fell
into the barragc and few British
shells But whether it was a Zeppelin
or a Gotha that was bent baby kill
ing the British scouts would swoop at
their foes like hawks.
The barrage was almost like drum
fire There were two outer barrages
and one inner. Scores of guns, many
of them six-inch rifles, We're employed
in this work They generally worked
in batteries of four, each unit of the
battery, perhaps, being mile two
from the other units. The four guns
would endeavor to get a hostile plane
in the center of their box fire. and then

American engineers under heavy ar
ti1lery fire. Crossing the stream on
bridges but two feet In width was a
still more hazardous business. But
apparently the marines consider
nothing too hazardous to at least at
tempt.
With the enemy's artillery and ma
chine guns pouring incessant fire
upon these slender straws of passage,
the marines advanced. Time after
time an enfilade of fire swept rows of
them into the Swir1ing Meuse@but
they advanced
The crossing finally effected, they
pressed with undaunted courage
and stormed the Huns stronghold on
the east bank The Germans gave way
before the impetus of that furious
charge and the marines again found
themselves victors In their last great
battle OF the war.

Speaking with one OF the commits
sioners appointed to make survey of
the food situation in the battle-torn
countries OF Europe the writer was
told that the depletion and shortage
of food was far greater than anybody
had expected With the nvestigation,
which at that time had merely started,
much had been brought to light that
had only been surmised. Herds of live
stock were completely wiped out. fields
that had been prolific yieIders of grain,
roots and vegetables were terraced and
hummocked by bombs and shells,
many of them still lying unexploded
and dangerous. Until this land can be
gone over and cleaned nothing in the
way of cultivation can be carried on.
and even where that is done the work
of leveling and getting under cultiva--
ton will take a long time.
Much more devolves upon the farmer;
on this side of the Atlantic than was
at first supposed. Herds of live stock
will have to be replenished, and this
will take years; the provisioning of
the people in the meantime is the task
the farmers here will be asked to un-
dertake. Producing countries will be
taxed to their utmost to meet this de-
mand; all that can be provided will
be needed. This need will continue
for some time, and during this period
prices will be high The opinion of
those who have given the question
most careful thought and study is that
food scarcity will be greater than ever
before. The Allies will have to feed
Germany, Austria, Turkey and Russia
and this in addition to the require
ments OF European neutra1s for in
creased supplies now that there is no
submarine menace.
To the Canadian and American farm
er this means demand for his grain
fully as great as at any time in the
past. Wheat will be needed, meat will
be required. The slogan "don't stop
saving FOOD is as necessary today as
ever. The purpose of this article is to
direct attention to the fact that hun
dreds of thousands of acres of land
in Western Canada are still unoccu-
pied, and this land is capable of pro-
ducing enough to supply all needs. On
its rich grasses are easily raised-and
cheap1y too-the cattle that Will be
sought; in its soil lies the nutrfment
that makes easy the production of the
grain that will be needed, and in both
profit on his investment. The land can
be purchased at low prices, on easy
terms, and with the abundance of re-
turns that it will give, it does not mean
a matter of speculation. The facts as
set out are known, and certainly are
guaranteed.
These facts, the low cost of the land.
and its great productivity, combined
with the admirable marketing and
transport facilities at the disposal OF
the farmer make farming in Western
Canada attractive proposition.-Ad-

PEACE TREATY unAccEpT-

Vienna Newspaper Intimates the Gov ernment Will Refuse to Sign the

t There is reason to believe, according to Paris advices, that the council of four will reach a decision this week as to the reply to be made to the Ger man counter peace proposals.
 Allied experts today are drafting memoranda on the reply which is to be submitted to the council of four.
 Premier Ciemenceau is understood to maintain firmly that there can be no important changes in the treaty, as presented by the allied and associated government, but there are indications of strong under-current of sentl- ment to meet the German offer of a definite sum of 100000 ono0 900 marks indemnity instead of the indeterminate snslgsls now demanded.
 The Germans continue their object ing to phases of the peace treaty, and now are drafting memorandum which seeks to refute the allied charg- es that Germany is guilty for the war.
