1T is time that true Americans
stopped maudlin and hysterical senti-
mentality over the conditions of other
nations which are coming to be better
off than this nation.
1.-THE question of having the United
States excluded from the market of
a great part of the world by British
decree is question which must be
fearlessly and intelligently met and
competently solved.
"As an initial step toward the solu-

operation in this country.
Let all true Americans stand ready
to consider their country first and
their party afterward. (Signed.)

FIRST AERIAL DUEL
IN HISTORY BOOKED
WHEN PACT SIGNED
French Editor Flyers Wait Ger
tain Peace Then to Settle
Differences in Skies; World
War Cause of Trouble.

Paris, March 19-The first aerial
duel in history probably will take
place Immediately after the signing of
peace, it was learned today.
The principals, because of the fact
they are members of the French army
aviation corps, feel they should not
lessen their country's aerial force by
even one, so long as state Of war
exists. They told the United Press,
however, that they are determined to
settle their difficulties in this unique
manner as soon as the emergency
ceases to exist.
EDITORS THE PRINCIPALS.
The principals are Corporal Leon
Vaudecrane, chief editor of the trade
paper L'Exportateur Franchise, and
Captain Robert Schneider, chief editor
of competing paper, Echos de LEX
portation. Schreiber's father is a Ger
man. During an editorial war, Schrei-
Der wrote vaudecrane letter which
the latter thought insulting. Vaude-
crane sent his seconds to Schneider.
At first Schneider said he was not
fit to fly, because of an old wound
Vaudecrane's seconds pointed out
that Schneider in his letter to Vaude-
crane had said
please do not laugh at my title of
aviation captain, of which I am proud
and which I shall justify. I won il
despite your reiterated attacks
CONSIDERED CHALLENGE.
They contended Schneider had prac-
tically challenged Vaudecrane, where
upon the captain accepted the chal-
lenge to fight an aerial duel.
II intend to use a Newport chasing
plane of 100 horsepower, armed with
Vickers machine gum" Vaudecrane
said today. Both my seconds-Cap
tain Madon. one Of the French aces
and Lieutenant Babo. and my adver-
sary's seconds have decided that ow-
ing to the state of war, a settlement
| is impossible until after peace is
signed. But l continue in my desire

Cincinnati. printed calendars

perpetual calendar were adopted" said
c. B. Braunstein, who has a plan for

Let the year be divided into 10
months of % days each. This would
make 1854 days. AS there are 1854
days in a year, the odd day could be
placed anywhere in the calendar and
be a universal thanksgiving day. The
other extra day would come every
fourth year and could be placed after
the last day in leap year and be known
as Zero day. Leap Year day or Gala
day.
Under this plan Monday would al
ways come on the LIST, Sth, 18th and

GOLDlERS' TEETH ARE GOOD
Less Than Half of the Men in the
89th Division Were in Need
of Dental Care.

Gondrecourt, France.-RepOrts by
Captain Huber, divisional dental sur
geon of the Eighty-eighth division,
show that less than half of the men
in the division need dental treatment.
There are 26,437 men in the division
and 1901 are to have their teeth fixed.
This is considered a very good record
by Captain Huber, and shows that the
men have been using their tooth
brushes.
Of the number that will need treat
ment, 1877 are emergency cases and
7,467 will have to have extractions or
other painful operations. The rest are
simple cleaning cases.
The majority of the cases are
among members of the Fifty-seventh
field artillery brigade, which has been
attached to the Glover Leaf division.
The artillerymen were on the front for
