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 S,
1914, found the Royal Flying corps
with only four squadrons in being
representing well under 100 airplanes.
Three of these squadrons went instant
ly to France. A new squadron fol-
lowed these pioneers in about ten days
time, while fifth squadron mobillzed
and set out in "a hours, reaching the
fighting Zone. .
In those early days of the war ma.
chimes were used simply for strategical
reconnaissance. 1t was not until after
the battle Of the Alsne, when settled
lines Of warfare were established, that
artillery fire control from the air and
the cruder forms of cooperation with
the infantry We're practiced and de.
velOped.

members on its faculty. And by a
strange chance their names happened
to be Wolfe, Crabb and Parrot. The

One of the faculty got married, an
other was transferred to another

ACTIVE TO THE LAST

WaShington.-ThHt marines were ac-
tive In the world war up to the mo-
ment that the armistice went into ef-
feet is evidenced inya division order
signed by Major General John 4. Le-
jeune, U. S. marine corps, command

copy of which has just been received
in Washington.
According to the order the Devil
Dogs last act in the universal drama
was final and definite conquest of
the Meuse river. where line after line
of marines crossed on bridges hastily
thrown across the. stream by the Sec
ond engineers.

tism of fire at ChateauThierry, head

they had reached the Meuse, where
the Germans had thrown up strong
intrenchments on the east bank.

AERIAL APRONS
GUARD LONDON

gradually close IN their fire so the
enemy could not escape, the "aerial
box" gradually being narrowed.
The entire process depended largely
upon listening devices which could de-
tect the approach of q humming air
plane miles away.
Efficient Defensek System.
The defense system was SO eff
cient that 75~p cent Of the raiding
machines were kept out of London.
And those machines that got past the
barrages had great difficulty in escap-
Ing. To the terror of bursting shrap-
mel was added the confusion Of Verey
lights, some red. some blue, others
green, white, yellow and orange, and
these flashing lights. intermingled
with the terrific din of the exploding
shell. so confused aviators that they
lost all sense of direction and space
and many of their machines got out of
control. becoming an easy prey. In
such cases British birdmen would ap-
proach. firing on the enemy machine
anti-aircraft guns would halt, and the
hostile plane would be brought down
by burst from the British plane. But
often there were fierce duels, marked
by spitfire from the machine guns of
the contending flyers.
The course which the raiders took
was traced out. minute by minute. by
the "stethoscOpe" operators, and di-
rections given to searchlight crews,
aDti-aircraft gunIers and flashed to
aifdrOmes by aerial defense headquar.
ters. which conducted the Lattle much
in the same way as Il general in the
field.
Scarcely a Gotha got through the
outer London barrage unscathed. The
faint hearts who couldn't penetrate
the barrage often turned back. only to
find they were outnumbered four to
one by faster British machines.

SOME KICK TO THIS MIXTURE
Hospital Patients AduIterate Alcohol
With Formaldehyde, Then Pro-
eeed to Wreck Hospital.

San FrancscO.-AS real fire wa
ter" nothing exceeds alcohol adul-
terated with formaldehyde.
This was demonstrated here by
Grace Wilson and George Clark. two
yarrapts under treatment ut the iso.
lation hospital.
The two awoke several days ago
with an awful thirst. and no other bev-
crage, except water, being available
Mt the moment. they proceeded when
the nurse was not looking to imbibe
freely of alcohol, bottle of which
was standing nearby. Then they de
cided to adulterate the. alcohol with
formaldehyde. The effect was very
similar to that Of casting match into
n barrel OF gasoline. Before the ex-
plosions were entirely over, the furni-
ture in the room was nearly all
wrecked while two policemen. who
had been sent to quiet them, had been
locked up in closet. The two women
were then locked In & cell and charged
With disturbing the peace.

TRAVEL IN AIR SAFE

London.-Some Of the wonders
achieved in aerial navigation and 9TH
er wonders contemplated were spoken
of by Maj. Gen. Sir +. H. Sykes, chief
of the air staff. in an address before
the chamber of commerce.
1t was asserted by General Sykes
that in four months, between july and
October, 20 trips were made across the
English channel. The mileage ira
versed was S,OS5 and 1,S43 passengers
were carried. although flying was pos
sible only on II days.
AS for the future, the government
was looking forward to II weekly mail
service to India, for which 25 machines
would be required and the charge for
sending mail u few shillings announce.
Another route contemplated was from
Cape Colony to Cairo. for which air.
planes and flying boats would be used.
Suggesting that airships might be
adopted for long distance flights. Cen
eral Sykes said German Zeppelin

Weekly Health Talks
A Word About the :
Kidneys
BY DOCTOR WATSON.

People are easily frightened when they
think something is the matter with their
lungs or heart, and well they may be; but
few people understand the dangers of dis
eased kidneys. These organs have a duty
of vital importance to perform. and if they
are diseased, there is no telling how or
where the symptoms may appear. The
kidneys are filters, and when they arc
healthy they remove the poisons from the
blood and purify it. When the kidneys
are diseased, the poisons are spread every
where. and one of these poisons is uric
acid. The uric acid is carried all through
the system and deposited in various places.
il The form cf urate salts-in the feet.
ankles, wrists and back-often forming
bags under the eyes. Sometimes the result
ing trouble is called rheumatism, lumbago,
sciatica and backache. Finally, come stone
in the bladder, diabetes and Bright's dis
ease.
DR.. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y, in recent
years, discovered that = certain combins-
ton of remedies would dissolve uric acid
(urate salts) in the system. He found this
combination to be harmless, SO that he
made it up in tablets, of double strength
and called them Anuric Tablets. They
dissolve uric acid in the human system a.
hot coffee dissolves sugar. If you have
uric acid troubles. don't delay in taking
Anuric Tablets, which can be secured in
the drug stores. You can write DR.. Pierce.
too. and he will tell you what to eat and
how to live 30 that more uric acid win not
form in your system. DR.. Pierce will not
charge for this advice.

American engineers under heavy ar
tillery fire. Crossing the stream on
bridges but two feet in width was II
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 an incessant fire
upon these slender strnws of passage
the marines advanced. Time after
time an enfilade of fire swept rows of
them into the swirling Meuse-but
they advanced.
The crossing finally effected, they
pressed on 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.
Cheyenne record., 1919-01-30

LOndon.-LOndOn's aerial aprons, or
now the Gothas were kept away.
might form one tense chapter in a
book about how the British baffied the
Hun air raiders. The last six months
of the war there was not a single air
raid on London. due, in part. to the
fact that the city's defenses were such
that they filled enemy flyers with ter
ror. Any aviator that escaped the
death traps-and the chances were
about one in three he would not-gen-
orally was of little value thereafter for
flying, because his nerves were shat
tered. A British aviator who by acci-
dent was caught In the aerial barrage.
but managed to land safely near Lon
don, tossed on bed, verging on In
sanity for weeks, so horrible was the
experience.
Roughly, there, were three chief
weapons for dealing with Hun air
rraiders; 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 aloft from the out
skirts of the city. the balloons being
