Claim, whers II destroyed all Of his
buildings except the barn. One struck
at the old Mullen farm west Of Galatia
and tore up the barn. The one that
struck west of Great Bend was seen
by hundreds Of people In Hoisington
and many thought It was coming their
way, but It lifted after tearing up
buildings on three farma

tornado hanging from the cloud when

southwest. He was at the depot and

Are Adult MIX Drinkers MollycoddIes I

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir:
frequently see healthy men and women
drinking milk In restaurants. Why not
leave 1t for the little ones and thus
conserve the output and put stop TO the
soaring price of the lacteai fluid? Men
who take a glass of milk with their
breakfast remind one Of the mollycoddle
who basks in the moonlight. They do
not need milk for nourishment and
should help conserve II for their anemlc
little brothers and sisters whose lives
depend upon II, PERRY LuKENs.

Not . Fighting Airship squadron
In 1921.

II the United States should be com
PEELED tomorrow to send a military
expedition into Mexico to protect
American property and American
lives Its army could not muster three
fighting squadrons of airplanes to ac-
company the troops.
One year and half from now, I'M
less Congress makes suitable provi-
sion for the air service, we shall not
have even one effective fighting squad
ron Of airplanes to protect Americans
In Mexico or anywhere else.
These facts were brought out yes
terday4 In the Senate debate on the
refusal of the House Of Representa-
tives to consent to an appropriation
of $15.000,000 inserted In the pending
deficiency bill by the Senate. The
$50, 100000 appropriation now con-
templated will not provide for the
construction of any new airplanes
next year. Those now in service Will
wear out; should they be packed
away for a year they would be OBJ
solete when they were taken from
their cases.
On the very duy when this debate
took place the General Stairs stats
| tics of fatalities on the army dyine
fields In the United States since Janu
AIRY 1, 1918, were published. Three
hundred and ninety lives were lost, IN
the comparatively brief period covered
by the figures. Every one Of these
lives was sacrificed In the effort Il
put the United States where II be
longs in aeronautics. Every drop Of
blood shed on the flying fields was
part of the price paid to establish thu
United States as power in the air.
If Congress refuses now to uphold
the men who want to make the United
States powerful In the afr all thes'
lives will have been spent for moth
ing. Lacking support, the air servic'
will soon be reduced to the same con
dition II was In when We entered TIN
war In 1917. Previous neglect Of tn
service had left 1t pitifully weak
practically impotent. At the end o
nineteen months Of war, with the ex
perience of the Allies to guide us
with every agency which could con
tribute to the construction Of airship
and the training of airmen working
with all Its energy. we were only be
ginning to show what we might d.
In the air. Since the nrmistce w
have been slipping back. We hav
no aeronauticai policy. We are no
experimenting as we should. We ar
not building airehips as we should
We are not training airmen as W
should. Not slowly. but swiftly. W
are returning to the dlsgraceful AM
dangerous situation we were'in befor
we entered the war. f..
The men who strip a nation Of II
most modern defensive weapon as
sumo terrible responsibility. and tn
cost OF their misguided conduct mus
be paid by all of US.

In debating the conference report on
the coal, Oil. gas and phosphate leas-
ing bill Representative FERRIS OF Okla
homa, In answer to conservationists
who begged that these poor United
States be not wholly looted OF their
few remaining natural resources. said:
THE nation is yet rich in natural
resources 1t Is not impoverished at
all. For example, we have between
100000, 900 and 7o0.o00.0o0 acres of
public lands yet the property OF the
Government. We have about 10000
600 acres Of coal lands yet the prop
erty OF the Government We have
about 5000 900 acres or oil iandn still
the property OF the Government; We
have I6b, 900, 900 acres of forest re-
serves still the property Of the Gov
eminent and some two or three mill
ion acres OF phosphate land proiuc-
ing phosphate 10 improve the impov-
erished soils OF the Government and
still the property OF the Government.
And this proposed law makes possible
the use, the development and conser-
walton Of those great resources"
And In thus hastily calling attention
to some of the country's available and
as vet untouched natural resources the
sneaker did not mention the water
power obtainable from Government
controlled streams or the mill 8 OF
acres Of shale lands rich In and
fuel. Just a hint Of the CO .ry's

The New Commander OF the rast-
ern apartment OF the Army.

Lieutenant General ROBERT L. Bull
LAID, whose selection as comma nder
Of the Department of the East In sue
cess.on to Major General THOMAS H.
Barry Is announced by the Secretary
Of War, comes to his post on Cover
nors leland with a record of distin-
;guished service With the American
Army IN France. - .--s ~!
General BULLARD has met with
signal measure Of success as an Amer
lean soldier. He is one. of the two
Lieutenant-Generals of the war and
he still temporarily holds that rank.
He was awarded for his military
services the Distinguished Service
Medal, the Croix de Guerre with
two palms. the Legion of Honor and
the Order Of Leopold. He was ap-
pointed to the Military Academy from
Alabama and was graduated with the
class Of 'S5, one year ahead Of Gen
eral PERsHING.
His career was made in the last
war and his promotions and honors
were won on the deld. He had his
first experience as corps commander
on the Vesle In the drive of July,
1918; he stood the trial and he was
given the command Of the Third Corps
on the right flank Of the Argonne at
tack. For his success In this engage
ment General PERsHINo gave him
command Of the Second Army, which
he held to the end OF the war
Except size and robustness General
BUILARp has all the appearance of a
soldier; he Is erect. wiry, with SOL
dier's nose and jaw. Some one said
that 1t would take two of him to
make one of the other Lieutenant
| General. LIGGETT. He complained. &C.
cording to a correspondent, OF neu-
ritis; General PERsHING declared If he
had It st had not gone to his head"
General BULLARD believed In short
cuts. He said that early In his career
he undertook to memorize the sSmy
regulations and found out that by the
time he had committed them to men,
DRY they were changed. 'Never
aga IN" he declared. He fell back on
three words: Honor. duty and coun-
try. "They fit everything" he said.
1T never got into trouble after I
adopted them for not knowing the
regulations" In his address to the
graduating class at West Point in
June, explaining how his soldiers had
broken through the mass of barbed
wire defences at St Mihiel, he said :
'"rhere is no obstacle that cap stop
man strong enough and determined
enough to go. There Is no obstacle,
however formidable, that will give
you protection If you haven't got the
fight In you"
To the American soldiers who had
captured Fay's Wood. strong point
on the Mouse, he gave the order, "You
are there. stay there" General Bull
LARD too Is credited with the note
in answer to the order or advice OF
the French commander who coun-
selled the retirement of American
troops who had advanced too far upon
the German position in an attack near
Chateau Thierry. This answer created
much patriotic enthusiasm In the
United States upon Its publication by

COURT PROCEEDINGS.

Owners of property abutting on
High street, Harpers Ferry and Wash
ington street, Bolivar, entered for
NAL waiver of all claims for any and
all damages they may sustain by rea-
son of the construction of a Glass A
road through the towns. The matter
of possible damages to abutting prop
erty was one of the big considerations
that caused the Court to hesitate about
approving the proposed improvement
over the streets named.
The road through the towns is to
have a width of 80 feet except that
portion of High street between Church
and Shenandoah streets. Because OF
the narrowness of the street in that
section, the court agrees to a modlfl-
cation of the plans so that the con-
tractor will be allowed to construct
the road there width of ~ feet only.
DR.. j. M. Miller who has been presi-
dent of the County Board of Health
