April II to witness the aerial circus
in behalf of the Victory loan. Even

had thrills enough for one day. The
program was carried out without a
hitch, with the exception that one
plane, carrying moving picture ma

In the morning the planes went
singly; through the afternoon. in for

shortly after l o'clock, and, circling
for n time above the field, went
straight over the city for the real ex-
hibitions of the aerial skill which
meant so much in France those last
days before victory was won. The
two-seated Curtiss planes were chased
by the swift Fokker planes, while
these in turn, were routed by the Brit.

exhibition that made filters themselves

TELL HOW
HUNS SACK FRANCE
NO SUCH ATROcITY EVER BE-
FORE PERFORATED AGAINST
INDUSTRIAL LIFE.
Estimated That it viii Require Twelve
to Fifteen Years of Hard work
to Restore Normal output OF
Mines and Mills.

Washington Destruction wrought
by the Germans in Northern France
was so systematic and diabolicaF
that it will require five years to re-
habilitate the coal, iron and steel In
dustry and from twelve to fifteen
years to return the mines and mills to
normal output, according to a prelim-
mary report on April Fl by Frank ii.
Probert, consulting engineer OF the
bureau of mines. He is a member OF
special investigating committee
which recently returned from Europe.
''The actual physical damage to the
iron mines is comparatively small
when compared to the destruction of
the coal fields of northern France,
which is as reprehensible as 1t Is COM
plete," Mr.. Probert said.
''In my opinion no such atrocity
ever was perpetrated against the in
dustrial life of any country. Magnifi-
cent steel plants are now but a tam
gled, twisted mass of structural steel
and broken stone. The wilful demol-
ition was scientifically planned and
Systematically carried out. This after
the removal of ali such mechanical and
electrical power units as could be
used by Germany.
1.-THE righteousness and efficiency
with which this crime against French
industry was carried out is almost I'M
believable.
"The coal veins of northern France
are over-lain by water-bearing strata,
necessitating special methods of shaft
sinking and support to keep the mines
dry. The steel lining of the shafts
was dynamited, letting in the quick.
sands and flooding the underground
workings for miles around.
in the entire Pas de Calais region,
1t is estimated that 120,000000 cubic
meters of water must be pumped be-
fore mining operations are resumed.
Having flooded the mines, the head
frames and surface equipment were
Systematically dynamited, the twisted
debris in many cases filling up the
demolished shafts"
