TO USE AIRPLANES
IN MINE SWEEPING

LONDON. April s.. CBy Man)-
Sweeping up the thousands OF mines
which strew the seas in the neigh
borhOOd OF the British Isles has
proved such a costly and dangerous
Job when carried on by the ordin-
airy methods. that the admiralty has
turned 10 the airship for relief. Ex-
periments conducted in the North
Sea, il is announced. have been sue
cessful, mines being located and eX-
ploded much quicker than when the
usual mine-sweeping ship is used.
While the airship has the advant-
age. OF height in locating mines, the
mere fact that an airship cannot hit
a mine adds so much to the element
of safety that il is expected that
much Of the 5000 square miles of
mine strewn waters which remain
will be cleared without loss of life.

WHITE SALMON
WATER CONTESTED

j. +. Slade, orchardist ''of Husum,
says that litigation over water rights
on the White Salmon river, similar to
an adjudication of claims to- " aters in
the Rood river watershed now before
the courts, is likely to arise. Mr..
Slade and others have recently, he
says, taken over an irrigation concern,
privately constructed by ranchefs of
the district, with the,view of organiz-
ing an irrigationsdistrict for watering
800 acres of bearing orchard in the
Husum community.
but we have been informed, , says
Mr.. Slade, "by the Northwestern
Electric Co. that any effort on our
part to take waters from Buck creek
tributary of the White Salmon river.
will be contested. We feel that our
orchard lands will be of little value in
few years without water, and it Is
likely that the matter will be fought
out in the courts.

clares that the marketing season Of

than last year. Mr.. Davidson. who,
preparatory TO leaving for Europe.
where he will make survey of all

Northwestern growing sections. saws:
The greatest danger the grower
faces is his tendency 10 make his mi
tial selling prices too high. The apples
should be sold at figures that Will max,

If this condition prevails. the fruit vii.
move in a steady stream with the like

market start bullish and break and it
is liable to become disastrous.

of the Argonne Forest. He was a
messenger part of the time on the
front and was also engaged in hauling
up ammunition. He says that on a
number of occasions he didn't consider
his life very valuable. A horse he
was riding, while carrying ammunition
up to the front, was mangled by high
explosive shell.

the nation last September when the Argonne drive started and the great est battle ever fought by American troops was opened.
 Last fall the country was thrilled by the story of the Lost Battalion Up country in France near Binar- vile in the Argonne forest, was Major Charles w. Whittlescy of Pittstield, Mass, with his battalion. He and his command pushed and pulled their way through the forest till they reached their objective. As night came on he found his command cut off and sur rounded by the Huns. This was the evening of Octiber 2. For five days no rations. no ammunition, no gren- ades, no supplies of any sort reached this handful of Americans in the deep woods They could hear the noise of battle far to the south of them. Their comrades were trying to fight their way in and make rescue. The diVi- sion was trying to come to their aid
 ''The Lost Battalion
 It was we'll night dark in the dense wood even at noon. At night it was an internal pit of blackness. Hours passed. The German fire never seas ed The Americans dug 'foX holes" and hung stubbornly on. On the fourth day the Huns sent over 8 written note asking Major. Whittle sey to surrender. His reply was terse, profane and lovingly remembered by every American who ever heard it. GO to hell" was the gist of it. He was at that time out of rations and 50 per cent of his men were casual ties.
 He hung on The Lost Battalion was rescued. There was no quitting on the part of these Americans who thought they were cut off and done for. The man who cant possibly see how" he is going to take his part of the Victory Loan will do well to mediate on the courage and spirit

which these men fought and died that calling" on all patriotic men and Wo- men to subscribe to the "Victory Ioan.' And it was these men who made it the Victory Loan
 Had it not been for their sacrifices We would have been facing a Fifth Liberty Loan, and maybe a Sixth and Seventh Loan. There would have been no peace had not these men fought their way through the Argonne, along the elbow of the Mouse 1ivar, up through Cheppy and Exermont and on to Grand Pre- and thence to Sedan, Montmedy and Buzancy, smashing the German Hindenburg and Kriem- a-Stellung lines and tearing the German gate from it's hinges.
 Their Immediate Task.
 The Woodfills, Skinkers, RobbS. Villepigues, Roberts, and others of the deathlessly valiant made all this possible for us. Above and Beyond the Call of Duty was the way these men saw the immediate task in front of them If their lives were required of them. they gave their lives.
 If the American people tackle the job of raising the "Vittory Loan" in the spirit that these men swam rivers under gun fire, rushed machine gun nests and threw themselves upon the Hun barbed wire, the loan will be subscribed and over-subscribed.
 Compared with what these men faced and went through, the task of raising billions of dollars seems an insignificant thing. They were called upon to dig the hard fighting Prus- elan Guard, the crack regiments of the Kaiser out of positions, strong in the beginning. and that had been strengthened through four years of preparation. The people of the Unit ed States are now being called upon to undertake and finish a task that is immeasurably easier than faced
