.AON0RED BY FRENCH
Yankee Doctor Wins Commission
as Captain.
Highest American Citizen In
French Army During
War.

Paris.-The highest-ranked Ameri-
can citizen in the French army dur
ing the present war is DR.. Henry Mi
chel of Augusta, Ga, who earned a
captains commission in the service
of our ally before transferring over
to the United States army.
Doctor. Michel came to France at
the beginning of the war and volun-
teered in the French army. Owing to
the crying need for surgeons, he was
at once commissioned as a second
lieutenant and assigned at base hos
pital. His hard work and ability won
him promotion to first lieutenancy
after the Verdun offensive in the first
half Of 1916 when he was stationed
at Troyes, the great evacuation GEN.
ter for the French wounded.
Afterward Doctor Michel was trans
ferred to Lyons and was placed in
command of military hospital there
and promoted to captain. The For
eign Legion has its base depot at
Lyons, and Doctor Michel knew al
most all of the Americans enlisted in
that unit. He was Also a great friend
of United States Consul Jones at
Lyons. =.
A year ago Doctor Michel offered
his services to the A. e. f. and was
sent to American Red Cross hospital
No. 1 at Neuilly, the former American
ambulance. He is also surgeon in
chief of the American hospital for
civilians In Neuilly.
Only few other Americans have
ever received commissions in the
French army, and they were all Sec
Ond lieutenants with the exception of
William Thaw Of the Lafayette Es-
cadrille, and Sweeny Of the Foreign
Legion and later Of the tank corps,
who were first lieutenants. The avia-
tor pilots Of the Lafayette Escadrille
were only sergeants, with the excep-
tion of Dudley Hill, an adjutant. Luf.
berv was only second lieutenant.

TO CROSS ATLANTIC
AirpIane Manufacturers Make
Long-Distance Machines.
Tempted by Big Prizes Offered by
Newspapers and Aviation
Clubs.

Paris.--Airplane manufacturers art
losing no time in developing lOng-dis
| tance machines for transatlantic
flights for which tempting prizes have
been offered by various newspapers
and aviation clubs.
The rumors persist In Paris that q
Handley-Page machine has already
crossed the ocean, from Newfoundland
to Ireland. but that the flight was
kept secret in order that the Germans
might not know that a machine had
been produced which could bomb Ber
lin. The allies had secret informa'
tion that the enemy felt perfectly Sc.
cure about the inability of airplanes
to fly that far into the fatherland and
get back and had practically no anti
aircraft batteries posted to protect his
capital. It was realized that once 1t
became known plane had crossed
the Atlantic the Boche would take the
tip and strengthen his defenses at
Berlin.
Farman has constructed a quadru.
pie motor biplane equipped with four
propellers and driven by engines gen.
Grating more than 1000 horsepower
which he> believes can negotiate. the
transatlantic flight. This machine will
have an average speed Of 40 miles
an hour and can carry gasoline and oil
for SO hours. The body of the ma
chine extends the whole length of the
fuselage, from the nose to the tall
piece and the crew can walk up and
down through the passageway. Null
tiple wheels make landings easier
and safer. ..
Bleriot has also constructed a b.
motor machine, with two tractor and
two pusher propellers, which he be-
lieves can fly 1000 miles without a
stop. The Bleriot machine is BIZ
plane, but the lower wings are much
smaller than the upper, along the
lines Of the Nieuport chasse model.
The Bleriot plane is expected to main
tain speed Of $50 miles an hour for
"a hours.

MUSIC CURES SHELL SHOCK
Victims In England Recover Speed
Under the influence Of
Singing.

London.--Music has been found to
be beneficial in the treatment Of solr
diers suffering from shell shock, and
now singing Is to be tried on sys-
tematic scale, with the approval Of the
army authorities.
It has been found that singing has
both directly and indirectly won
derful curative effect and there are a
number Of cases on record in which
a man who, unable to speak, suddenly
Joined In with the singing and SO re.
covered his speech.
An effort is being made to organize
regular singing training in all hos.
pitfalls where there are shell-shock
cases.

Getting Full Value Of Flowers.

Highly ornamental vases are attrac-
live in themselves but, as flower hold
ers, they may be said to be partial
failures, as they do not serve their
purpose to the fullest extent. They
rather attract attention to themselves,
than set off the blooms for which they
are designed. A vase Of plain material
or color, or one on which the design is
obscure, is more to be desired, as It
presents the flowers in their full beau
ty, and does not distract ones atten-
ton. In the same way, vase of lus-
terware, of a shade that blends with
the flowers 1t holds, is far more at
tractive than one Of contrasting color.
Vases that are to be used for all kinds
of flowers might better be green, Of a
duh shade, as this resembles the plant
coloring and is not noticeable.

USE OF M00NSHINE IS
CAUSING INSANITY

Huntington, w. Va.-Use Of
moonshine whisky is spreading
insanity throughout West Vir>
ginia, according to J. B. Coster
Of the state insane asylum. In
sanity is epidemic in the coal re-
gions Of Logan county. Coster
says. All kinds of ingredients
are used in the manufacture of
the whisky and much Of 1t, ac-
cording to the asylum officials,
wrecks mind and body.

crossed the seas into South America,
makes ceaseiess efforts to find a foot
hold in the United States. 1t is our
air that this crazy, murderous thing
desires, above all else, to breathe.
The rTaniacs Of anarchy long be-
yond all words to make shamble of
this Republic, to see its homes in
flames, its industries destroyed, its
families desecrated, its affairs thrown
down.
Shall we, then, temporize with it?
Shall we permit the red flag to pol
lutte the free winds Of America?
Shall we allow the springs of our body
polite to be poisoned?
The strong arm Of the nation must
annihilate this bloody dragon. The
anarchist here must be choked to
death as a man would choke serpant.
But we have no real fear for Amer
| lea. The red flag will never wave over
this nation. Short shrift will be made
Of anarchy here. We have, however,
our fellow human beings of other
lands and of other races to think OF.
| II we be not exactly our brothers
keeper, there is still responsibility
that. each man must bear for the well
fare of his fellow-man.
1t is for that reason alone that the
President of the United States is in
Europe now. To help cure the world
of its fever was the purpose that In.
duced him to leave his own land and
take his place among those other
| great statesmen who are the worlds
earnest physicians.
And we who are not statesmen must
yet perform the tasks that are allot-
| ted to us. We must strengthen the
physicians hands. We Americans
must watch through the night and we
must pray. ~
Wet shall be glad that we have done
what we could. When the fever is
spent and the sick world arises again
in health and happiness we shall re-
joice that our hands were reached out
to cure.
No man who has never made sac
rifice knows what real happiness
means. And no nation that has in
sulated itself in selfishness ever pro-
duced a race of men worthy to be
called the sons of God.
These things we know and these
things have we done. Wherefore, let
US learn to laugh again. Gladness is
so long gone from the world that it is
time it were back. 1t is time now
that we rejoiced as we used to.
While the physicians arc cooling
the fever in the worlds blood, let us
search the old highways once more
for the jester with his cap and bells
Let us set him again on his pedestal
with his quips and antics.
The heart of the world has beer
clutched with a deadly fear, but its
clammy grip is no longer upon US
Let us eat, drink and be merry.
Poor old world with the fever in its
bones! Give it a dig in the ribs anc
; bid it shake its sides again witt
laughter.-Los Angeles Times.

DON'T ASK THE "MHY?"

In our last issue we referred to the
major part of the small town RepubE-
can weekly newspapers, as echoes Of
the National Republican, which we
suspect receives it's inspiration from
Wall Street. And to bear out our
statement is the fact that with a
unanimity remarkable, these small
town Republican organs are clamor-
ing for protective tariff. Just why
they want a protective tariff, we don't
know and for that matter don't be-
lieve that they do, either. They were
Just told to get one and away they go
after it. We don't believe they really
want tariff on shoes, for shoes GER
, tainly are selling high enough to suit
them. And clothing already is be-
yond the reach of the ordinary NOR
tai, while good old and 10 cent ging-
ham is selling at from 25 to 35 cents
yard. And sugar at 10 and II cents
pound doesn't need protection, and
| live stock is holding its won pretty
we'll without help as are all products
of the farm. And we can't believe
that these echoes way down deep in
their hearts, think that the farmer
should pay more for his binder, now
err or other farm machinery, than he
is asked to pay now. And yet that is
what protective tariff would mean,
isn't it? The protective tariff, al
ways the shibboleth of the Republican
party, has always protected and al
ways will protect, them" that have.
Just now we should be more interest
ed in those who haven't.

INCOME TAX PAYMENTS

st. Louis, Mo-, Feb. 15.-Income tax
payments this year are due earlier
than ever before. The first payment
due is March 18th, simultaneous with
the final date of the return required
by the new Revenue law.
"File and pay by March 18th" is
the new slogan of the Internal Reve-
nue. Bureau, said Collector Geo. H.
Moore, who is preparing to handle
the flood of income tax payments that
will reach him between now and the
lose of business on Saturday, March
18th.
early payment of income tares is
Of the utmost Importance in meeting
the Treasury's debts brought about
by the war;" explains Collector
Moore. The new law names March
18th as the first payment date because
there are large obligations outstand-
ing in the form of certificates of in
debtedne5s that must be met on that
date.
"The earlier payment this year
should cause no hardship to taxpayers,
who, generally speaking, have antici-
paCeu Tile CldCLiHenL VI Vic hSW iHu
and have set aside a reserve from 1919
income to meet the government tax.
