YANKEE ANTI-AIRcRAFT
GUNNERY IN THE LEAD
Was 500 Per Cent Better Than
French, According to
Statistics. :

American anti-aircraft gunnery dur
ing the war was 800 per cent better
than the French. according to statis-
tics now available.
Whereas the French d. G. A. (De-
Tense Contre Avions) averaged 6.OOO
rounds of shells to bring down an enc
my machine, the average Of the Amer
lean artillery was only 1,200.
The first battery of anti-aircraft
guns Of three-inch caliber that was
placed in the line by the American ex-
peditionary force shot down an Alba
tross biplane reconnaissance machine at
the twentieth shot and brought down
another ut the ninety-seyenth shot.
The American expeditionary force
used both fixed guns and mobile bat-
teries against hostile aircraft, obtain
ing the latter from the French. They
are all models of the famous soixante-
ing mounted on special limbers that
permits them being fired almost
straight up in the air. The guns,
mounted ON speedy motortrucks, are
shorter in barrel than the other pieces
and can be fired while the machine Is
In motion.
American machine gunners protect

also extremely accurate in their fire,

force lost considerable number of

HOW BRAVE SONS OF

N II w LIIal<a y -
HELPED MOTHER COUNTRY.
War imposes many sacrifices
upon nation engaged in it, and
civilian life necessarily is dis
turbed. The United States will
have to share with other bel
ligerents the inconvenience Incl
dent to the conflict. But If any
one Is inclined to feel discon-
tented. he should take the trou-
BILE to note what has been done
by New Zealand since the be-
ginning of hostilities. That do
minion, though under no legal
obligation to aid England. has
raised an army of more than
100000 men. Her population is
100000.
Since New Zealand has had =
compulsory service law. she HIS
drafted large number of mS.r-
ried men. both with and w.:kDut
children. The dominion has
raised S13O,OoO.O0o in domestic
war loans. 4 finance act was
recently adopted which empow-
ers the government to levy on
salaries amounting to more than
$1,000 ysar. and to take dras-
tic and far-reaching measures In
order to raise money. Maori
tribes have uncomplainingly
furnished large quotas of men to
the army. The whole country.
in short, was determined to help
vigorously to carry the war to
successful finish.
Canada and Australia have
been no less unselfish In sup
porting the war. The whole
hearted and entirely voluntary
, eNertions OK the British domin-
ions furnish an Inspiring exam
pie to the American people.
When Canada, Australia, and
New Zealand made such sacri-
fees for Great Britain, Ameri-
cans might even more cheerful

own country. When any "squal-
ling" is heard, 1t is not from our

KISSES OLD FRENCH LADY
Round Smack on the Two Cheeks Of

General Pershing has kissed tune

a round smack on the two cheeks of

General Pershing is known to have

might thank the general Silence was

old and trembling little woman, ap-

murmured words Of gratitude. AS she
went on she became confused with the
unaccustomed honor. Her words be-
came mixed. Finally, knowing moth
Ing else to do, she suddenly seized
both hands of General Pershing and
shook them heartily.
aAnd the general mutually squeezed
the two hands of the old lady. Then,
suddenly, without word, he removed
his hat-and kissed her on each
cheek"

DID BOLSHEvIKI
 ORIGINATE PLOT
Think Reds Conspired to Take Life of Clemen-
 Ceau.

Paris Feb 20-Was the attempt on Premier Clemenceau's life of BoI- shevik origin? is a question being insistently asked here. The Mattn today recalls that a few days ago a Geneva newspaper announced that the BolshevIki in Lausanne, Switzer- land, were plotting against M. CIem- enceau's life and that two Bolsheviki had crossed the frontier to carry out the plan.
 The Paris police. the Petit Parisien says, were warned some time ago that q plot was brewing against the prenaier's life. IL states that the wife of member of the French con- sular service formerly stationed in Russia was in the Russian library in the Avenue Gobelins a fortnight ago and overheard a discussion which made her sure that an attempt against the premier was in prepara- ton. This library is one frequented by NIaximalists. The woman in formed her husband of what she had heard and he told the police. who assured him that the persons ia question would be closely watched
 Paris, Feb. 20 - Premier Clemen- ceau not very long ago used to say that he did not believe he had a real friend in France. If he still cherish ed that belief after the victory over the Germans it would seem that he can no longer do so, for this morn ings Paris newspapers all unite in ex- pressing sympathy and praise for the wounded statesman. Two extracts from newspapers Of widely-varying views may be cited in this connection. Says the Humanite, the Social organ: Premier CIenenceau was yester- day our determined formidable ad- versary. and he will be tomorrow. It leaves US only the freerer to stig- matize the 1diotic attempt from which he has happily escaped" On the other hand the Libere Parole. the roy alist and anti-semitic newspaper says:
 All Frenchmen. no matter if they disa gree with Premier ClemenceaI. will deplore the attaES2t and rejoice that the results apparently will not be serious"
