 In their migrations, the big, gray honk- CTS. after the way of their speciesONver would follow the winding Moselle into the north But these bright days, which her aid the coming of summer in the land of the Germans and warn the geese to be on their way, have brought into the heavens trespassers who also have a penchant for following the meanderings of rivers, though not necessari rily into the north.
 The trespassers are flying men of the American air service. There are four sauadrons of them. Some of them are nhotographing hundreds of miles of ceun- fry in Germany The work they are do- ing is preparation against any new war the Huns ever may attempt to wage.

4 TITANIC COAL, PILE

From the National Geographic MaSa- zine.
 The first thing that impresses one who studies the coal situation on America Is the well-nigh iinconceivable proportions of the nations demands
 for fuel. The government estimates
 that the requirements foc the current
 year will reach the enormous total
 of 735, ,OOO, 900 tons.
 So huge is this figure that it were
 almost as futile to use tons as units
 as to measure the distance around the
 earth in inches. Even the number. Of
 carloads mounts so far up into the mil
 lions that they become meaningless,
 and trainloads are only a, little better. About the only way in which one can visualize this demand isl to build
 mental bin capable of holding enough to meet the national need If this bin be made with each of it's four sides measuring a thousand feet, it will have to be more than 33,000 feet highLover- topping Mount Everest, the tallest
 mountain in the world, by nearly a
 mile. Or. if the fuel were put into a
 coal pile of normal slope, with baso of 20 feet, that pile would have to be
 96,o00 miles long-nearly, four times around the earth
 Little less startling thah the size of the national demand for coal are the proportions of the excess requirements s of war times over peace times. Talk ing the average annual demands of peace times and comparing them with the demands of the past year of war; one finds that the extra coal required in the United States as the result of the war reached a total of 210,000,0 900 tons
 Here again the brain reels in it's effort to comprehend the meaning of such vast figures. They mean an ex- cess tonnage amounting to 4,3S3,3 ,333 carloads. These cars would require d string of engines nearly a thousand
 miles long to pull them and would form a train which, moving at ami form speed of 20 miles am hour and never stopping, would require 75 days | to pass given crossing.

TANK AIRMEN BRIGHTEN GEESE

turing plants and many other places that loom large in importance on maps in wartime are being photographed and the pictures filed away for study and future reference. They may never be needed, but if they ever were America would not have to depend on German maps.
 At Euren, just across the Moselle from Trier, once German Zeppelin and avia- ton field, are stationed two aero squad rons, and at Coblenz arc two more. They have taken hundreds of pictures of Metz and surrounding territory, up and down the valley of the Moselle, Strasbourg, and many towns and cities in Germany and Luxembourg.
 While the army of occupation is doing squads right and those other things which keep it alert for it's watch on the Rhine, the aviators are busy in the air. Even without threatening Archies be- low and the aerial barrages that only a few months ago were the German bar riers in front of Rhineland. the work of Captain Diekema and his squadron and the other squadrons has it's daily haz- ards. There are accidents, some of them tragic, but the work must be done. The air service is functioning in Ger

RESOURCES OF AMERICA

From the Chicago Journal.
 According to some statistical gentle men who have genius for reducing facts to a form easily grasped, the United States has per cent of the worlds area, and 6 per cent of the worlds population. This makes us look like rather small potatoes. But the same statisticians\ go on to make it plain that these same United States have:
 Thirty per cent of the worlds wealth
 Thirty-five per cent of the world s banking power.
 Forty per cent of the worlds rail- ways.
 That puts rather different face on things. But it is only when one looks at the matter in terms of income, or production, ra ther than of accumula- tion, that he gets something like the full measure of this country's latent power. America produces:
 Twenty-Five per cent of the world s wheat
 Thirty per cent of the worlds panu- factures. Forty per cent of the worlds coal. Forty per cent of the worlds iron.
 Half the worlds copper. Two-thirds of the worlds petroleum. Two-thirds of the worlds cotton. Three quarters of the worlds corn. Will country with that kind of industrial standing have any trouble in subscribing the Victory Loan? Noi
 Will it welch on the task? Will> it hesitate to put up the money to bring the boys home and set them to work ? Will it balk on paying the bills for the materials that helped and saved our soldiers while they were crushing the Hun?
 Not in million years. Get ready for your share of the Vic- tory Loan. It's going over the top and you'll never forgive yourself if you don't go with it.

LUKE NI,LUKE SAYS

No wonder it is difficult for man to understand a woman. Half the time a woman doesn't undstand herself.
 Among the other male animals you meet in this world there is the kind known as the spirit. A squirt is all ways full of hot air. but can't raise an ounce of steam and is always on the go, but never gets anywhere.
 Once in a while many sided man marries two-faced woman. And there
 is helltupay
 A hobble skirt doesn't keep a woman from getting gait when she is run ming to meet trouble.
 A Dill introduced in the Ohio legisla- . ture makes it unlawful to sing German song in the Buckeye state. Oh, well, it won't make much difference A man won't feel like minging: Hi Lee. Hi To-" when
 he has nothing in his system but H O. No matter how good he is at geom-
 etry. rounder has hard tinie squar- ing himself when he gets home at 3 a. m.
 Our idea of a hypocrite is a man who pretends to be a vegetarian and yet plays poker for stakes every night. It takes dentist to open up close mouthed man and shut up an open mouthed woman.
 Some men are so doggone lazy that even though they do nothing, they do not do that well. A woman thinks that a bank is un- reasonably suspicious in wanting you to deposit your money before it will cash your check.

CONSIDERING THE CORNCOB

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
 Hitherto the humble corncob has been
 regarded almost exclusively as bit of
 natures handiwork that serv ed no dis tinctive purpose beyond it's primal one. It is true that in certain sections of the country the cob has been fashioned into pipe bowls which have contributed to the pleasure and comfort, no doubt or to- baceo smokers Corrsobs have been used, too for fuel. with indifferent results. Aside from these forms of occasional utility the cob is regarded as hopeless waste product and thrown away But now comse the department of as- riculture with a report in which the modest corncob suddenly finds itself eIorified. Instead of being a worthless bit of refuse, the whole cob can be con- verted into valuable substances. Thirty five per cent of it is transformable into crystalline glucose, which has many uses one of them being the production of al
 cohol. Think of it.. Alcohol from corn cobs, Another use is the making of what is called adhesive" which is demanded in the production of fiber board and pa per boxes. It appears from the report that if this corncob adhesive could be made coorless, instead of retaining it's brown tint it would replace the adhe- sives now utilized in starch deXtrine, flour paste, and kindred articles And this 1 replacement could be effected by the use of only per cent of the annual yield of cobs.
 All this is much like finding gold in a desert or something to eat in dish Of prunes. Corncobs may now look mankind | in the face and hold their heads up in the company of useful commodities, for I they are to play an important part in the scheme of industry. The corn itself may | lose some prestige by constitutional amendment but the cob-by-product Of | the stalk-thus struggles manfully to save the reputation of the family for use-
 fitness.

T H 6 Little Chance of Wilhelm Being Brought To Trial

NNTILLIAM HOHENzOLLERN
 w will never be tried before an international tribunal. It is thought probable that somesway will be found to prosecute the former Kaiser and his accomplices in the countries where their worst crimes were committed, preferably Belgium, but Wilhelm, Won Tirpitz and other offenders standing in the dock is a spectacle that the world will probably never see.
 Other than branding him as ar "arch-criminal' the peace conference has no jurisdiction in international law over Wilhelm. If an attempt were made to bring him to trial in Belgium or France, it would be difficult, if not impossible, to extradite him without causing international complications.
 Wilhelm has already begun to serve the sentence imposed on him indirectly by the allies in crushing Germany and driving him into exile. His fate is shared, though in another country, by Won Tirpitz. Both have long since been adjudged guilty by public opin- ion and both are ruined men. Strict justice would demand the execution of Wilhelm, Won Tirpitz and half a dozen other leaders, perhaps, not to mention lesser officials responsible for ''frightfulness," but no matter how much they deserve to pay the ex- treme penalty, any legal process against them, taken outside of Ger many, would present insuperable diff faculties.
