THINK
YANKS ARE ALL RIGHT
Letter From OFFICER Shows That
American Fighting Man is
Surely Appreciated.

Sydney, Australia, March 18-Aus
tralians have learned to appreciatc
the value of the American soldier in
the World War, according to the late
Lieutenant Cecil Healy, of the Aus
tralian EXpeditionary Force, an inter-
national swimming champion, killed
last summer i'll France. Lieutenant
Healy, who was one Of the best SWIM
mers in the world over the long and
middle distance courses, competed at
the Olympic games in Stockholm, in
IL letter to a friend here he said:
"Until America ranged herself def
initely on our side, | entertained
strong misgivings as to what the ul
innate issue would be, but when the
United States declared war, the leu
tons chances of obtaining world
domination vanished forever in my
estimation. [ at once ventured to
prophesy amongst my coterie Of
friends that it would be Yankee
brains, Yankee wealth and resources
alone that would enable us to stave
off defeat.
ITO any group of soldiers that I
happened to como upon in our camp
that were discussing the YANKEES, L
told that | had made one of a bunch
of athletes who left Australia to COM
pete against Americans at the Olym-
pic games. We were convinced, I as
sured them, that the Yanks were all
talk as was supposed. But I OK
planned that after we had had an op-
portunlty OF seeing for ourselves what
they could do in the way of organiza-
ton, and had seen evidence Of their
shrewd and busnesslike systems, and
observed the fact that they were
equipped with everything that brains
could suggest and money buy; and
moreover, had met them as man to
man Tin most instances receiving Il
sound trouncing at their hands) we
began to regard them highly.
ultimately we returned to Aus
traha with the firm impression that
the ank was about as worthy an ad-
ve1sary as would be met with in any
hemisphere Lieutenant HIealy was
killed in the Australians capture of
Mont ST. Quentin.

AIRPLANES MAY BE
USED IN INDUSTRY
Success Or Failure i'm Opening Oil
Fields May Depend On Their

Dallas, Tex, March 1S.--t'inancial
success or failure in the new Texas
oil fields so often depends upon being
first to reach Il certain point that the
airplane may become a common
means of lOcOmOtion among oil men,
according to big dealers. The air.
plane was used recently by officers of
two oil companies to hurry from Ran
ger to Il new found field.
Officers at Barron Field, the gov
eminent flying field here, say it will
be only a short time before airplanes
are III general commercial use in the
oil fields because of their speed and
the adaptability Of the country for fly
ing purposes.
The Barren Field authorities esti-
mate that it costs the government $50
an hour to keep q plane in the air,
but that the oil men could operate a
machine for $40 an hour. Good pilots
could be selected at not prohibtive
Sa laricS from among the hundreds
graduated by the War Department in
the last year.

of thankfulness and hope to the wo-
men of India. If my words are brief
and simple they are from the heart.
Il know that by the custom of
their cOuntry. and. the time honored
traditions by which they arc rcvercnt-
ly bound, the women Of India arc for
the most part prevented from UNDER
taking those public and industrial
tasks which their sist crs in other
parts of the empire, when the man
power of the country went forth in
it's defense were able to discharge. In
the SccluSiOn and solitude of their
homes the women Of India have had
to bear the bitterness of partings, to
suffer bereavement and priVatiOn, 70
live through days and months of
doubt and anxiety in ignorance of
the fortunes of the war and without
tidings of their absent ones.
"RepOrts have reached mo from
many sources of their forttudc and
endurance during the strain Of the
war which have filed me with admir-
aticn and gratitude. Many have done
this. | have heard of letters from
Indian women to husbands, sons and
brothers with the forces abroad, eN-
hOrting them to be brave in BATTLE
stOut-hearted in adversely, faithful to
their country and the throne to the
point of death, The history of India
is full of the heroism and courage of
its women in the past The war has
shown that their spirit is una1oated.
'Thc women Of India arc equally
noted for their charity and compass
sion. | know how deeply they have
been moved by the dcSOlatiOn which
the war has brought into many house
holds, and h"'" ready they have been
TO provide relief for the sick and
wounded, and to tighten the priva-
tons of their poorer neighbors.
Il rejoice to think that many innu-
cnceS are at work which make for the
greater Well-being and advancement
of the women of India. I watch with
the deepest interest and sympathy
every step that is taken to bring the
means Of education and KNOWLEDGE
moro Within their reach. to provide
greater facilities for their obtaining
proper medical relief through the
agency of their own sex in WOmen's
hospitals or in the privacy Of their
own homes, to widen their interests
and activities, and to secure to them
the adequate protection of the law.
II wish, with all my heart that ev-
cry success may crown these cffOrts.'

CAPE TO CAIRO AIR
SERVICE IN WORKS
Actual Construction for Pro-

London, Feb. II. Correspondence

construction work already has been

ed Cape to Cairo air service, the
British air ministry announces. Aero

from one end of Africa TO the other,
the principal ones being built at
Cairo, Khartoum, and two in Ger
man East Africa, at l<ampla and

The route then passes into Rhode
STA. and along the course of the rail-
way to tho Cape. Long before the
famous Cape TO Cairo railway is in
operation it is confidently expected
that airpIancs will be covering the
route on regular schedules. The dis
lance is 5000 miles
After establishing this service, the
plan of the air ministry is to hand it
over as a going enterprise to British
commercial company.
The ait ministry is acting as q
pioneer in various undertakings and,
position to commercial flying will be
analogous to that of the British ad-
miralty and merchant-marine serv-
ice. \ ''Lloyd's Aircraft Register is

ers in the way Of flying rights than
she has 10 grant. Air travel will not
be, in the main, over the sea. That
is too circuitous."
Commercial signal codes are being
considered at the ministry, also the
question of air police.

"HANG ON" FOR MANY YEARS
Scientists Know That JeIIyfish Live
Long, but "What Do They
Get Out of It?"

In a recent lecture to children at
the Royal institution, London, Prof
Darcy w. Thompson told of a jelly
fish known as Granny that was res
cued by Sir John Graham Dalyell and
kept alive in sea water. Granny, ac-
cording to Prof Thompson, was care
fully tended Ey Sir John and fed reg
ularly one-half mussel a fortnight
She throve exceedingly under this kind
attention. Six hundred of her offspring
were known. On the death of Sir John
she passed to the care of an arctic
explorer and was beQueathed by him
to another scientific man. Granny out
lived four protectors and died at last,
Oct. IL, 1887, at the authentic age Of
81 years, because of the neglect or
ill-treatment of botanist.
Prof. Thompson did not say so, but
he left it no be assumed that had the
neglectful botanist been as careful and
attentive as was Sir John Dalyell
Granny might yet be alive, says the
New York Tribune, in which case she
would be no less than % years old,
and assuming that she was at least
two when Sir John found her, which
seems probable, she would be well
past the century mark.

he advanced and when later Joined by

ness, in spite OF the extreme danger Of
the situation. When a shell had
wounded one of the men in the out
post, Colonel Pike Immediately went

himself when another shell burst in
