 me record of Mannock's IS months ser vice is most unusual He started by ont wlttlng examining physicians in conceal ing the fact that he was blind in one eve. At Zs years of age he was older than most of the pilots in training. but he semed to lack nothing required of a sue oessful air fighter and soon qualified and went to France
 immediately he adopted tactics peculiar to himself. and it finally was a deviation rom those tactics that brought him down. He always flew very high and enticed his adversary into a high fight, but. in bringing down his seventy third German, ne chased his falling foe too n ear the ground and bullet from an anti-aircraft gun ended his career
 OHlcers of the royal air force ave &C., claimed him the greatest air tactician in the service. He had none of the eccen- trlclties prevalent among successful French aviators, but he was scientinc, persistent and dogged. One of his brother officers recently said that he had seen Mannock stalk Hun for an hour or more, attempting to gradually draw him higher and then, when the slightest op- portunity for advantage presented itself. he was on the foe like cat.
 Although Mannock was presented with the distinguished service order and the military cross, it was not until the thou sands of records of pilots were checked in the air ministry here that it was known that he had more Germans to his credit than any other British aviator. This fact was allowed to become known at the ministry but not officially

BILL VINES WRITES ABOUT
 PROHIBITION AND POLITICS
Old Alabama Favore Refreshing On Public QuestiOns--Some Definitions of the Many
 Varieties of PrOhibitionists

Old John W. Public, who may have other important matters to look after is, notwithstanding, going to be polite ly but nevertheless firmly requested to pay his money a1d takt his choice as to political complexion powders from this good day forward until his mind is fully made up. The great show is on. Our great statesmen of both parties are the actors, and they have a lot of goods to display; some are good actors. others are indifferent, and there may be a bad actor or two in the lot, but that is matter which concerns us little and is for the dear people to find out.
 There are burning issues to be set tied; there are great problems, the cor rect solution of which involves the fu- ture peace, tranquility and prosperity of the plain people; there is a job lot of dirty linen to be laundered and old John must hold his nose and view the proceedeings, no matter how averSe he may be to doing so. The stage is set, and while the people may be otherwise engaged just at this moment and may beg to be let alone-no matter-there will be changing of bells and such bursts of inspired oratory and such a unanimous clamor from each and every one of the actors to Took lookl behold!" that it will be irresistible and then-then the politicil pot will boil and mum and SlZzle, ana there Will be no rest or peace until after Novemb Der, 1920, and one side or the other shall be re- turned. the victor.
 And such a experimentation! Never has there been such Dutch mixture of politics since politics we have had. Burning. pressing and urgent issues which appear to be foundlings and have been left upon the doorsteps of poi tics, some of which are wildly and firm ly pressed to the bosom of statesmen of both parties and are also emphati- cally spurned and disowned by states men of both parties. Thus we have the anomalous situation of both parties try ing to get all the credit and glory of fathering said issues and likewise all the crSdit and glory for being opposed to them.
 For instance, there is prohibitieIf. Of course we have an amendment to the constitution which has been ratified by a majority of the states and which in- sures prohibition when it becomes ef- fective. One would think that such ac- ton had sealed the doom of our old and much discussed enemy. the Demon Rum. But not quite so. Old Rum is a foxy old cuss and is ever on the alert to escape the executioner's axe. There are those present among us who at the last moment are stirred with pity upon beholding the dying struggles of the old sinner There are those who are actually moved to tears over the sad fate which awaits him if the harshest

What American Labor Wants.

Robert w. Bruere in Harper's Magazine.
 Our American workers do not listen readily to revolutionary propaganda. On the whole, their life has been a better
 life than that of the workers of Russia,
 or Italy. or France, or, even perhaps of England The traditions of feudal caste have not pressed so heavily upon them as upon their European brothers
 But precisely because they have been taught by school text and stump speak CT that in America one man is as good as another, they want what you want for yourself and your children" If that very human. if vague and intangible, de- sire is permitted to work itself out through constitutional channels; if when they seek concrete and organized ex- pression of that desire the courts do not hold them in contempt; if when they pro- test against the spreading horror of unemployment and the slow starvation of inadequate wages the governing author ities do something better than denounce their leaders, the workers will be pa tient, they will be loyal to what is best in our American democratic tradition. But we shall he misled if we assume that governmental neglect and incompetence, and vindictive intolerance on the part of those who own our industrial establish ments and employ labor, can have any happier sequel in America than it has had in Europe. It is as certain as law in physics that the price of repression is violence
