AIRCRAFT WILL COMBAT
 FOREST FIRES

ALBUQUERQUE, N. M., April
 4.-Arny airplanes and captive bal
 looms will cover portions of the Ma tional Forests of California, Arizona,
 New Mexico, and other States this
 summer, to aid ill detecting and sup pressing forest fires. In compliance
 with an order from Secretary Baker directing the Air Service to cooper ate with the Forest Service in this work, conferences are under way to determine where and to what extent the air scouts will supplement the forest rangers.
 That there is distinct and import ant place for aircraft in fire protec- ton of timberlands is regarded by the forestry officials as beyond doubt, but experimental trial of methods and possibilities will have to be the first step. This is what is now being plan ned for the coming fire season. Ex isting airdromcs and bases possessed by the army will be utilized for the experiments. Examples of such ba- scS, near enough to National Forests to De used advantageously, are the flying fields at San Diego, Riverside, and Arcadia in southern California Other points in the west and in the east are under consideration, includ- ing one near the White Mountains in New Hampshire.
 One of the interesting possibili- ties to be tested in bombing fires to put them out. It is believed that bombs charged with suitable chemi calls can be used with good results. Another plan to be tested is trans porting fire fighters by dirigiblcs from which ladders can be lowered to the ground.
 The chief use of the aircraft this summer, however, will doubtless be for fire detection. At present the forest service relies for this partly on patrol, usually by men on horses, or railroad speeders, md partly on watchers stationed at lookout points. Aircraft have many points of obvious superiority for both ,lasses of detection work.
 Lookouts in very broken country, ut up by deep canyons or where ridges obstruct the view, or Il flat country that affords no good | points of vantage, are often unable 0 pick up all fires quickly by the -ising smoke, or to locate them ac For precise location the ,ystem in use depends on triangula- ion through reports telephoned from observation points. Air planes would use wireless in report ng fires, as they have done in com with the artillery, and would locate fires by coordinates in he same way that gunfire in war is irected to a particular spot or ob- ect.
 From the army standpoint, the use # aircraft in protecting the Nation l Forests affords a valuable opportu- ity for training fliers and develop ng further tine possibilities of air raft and the art of flying.

Field, Prescott was fortunate in hay ing on hand supply of high test gasoline and Liberty Motor oil.
 Major Coffin has asked the Com handing Officer of Rockwell Field, that should he have any planes fly ing in this vicinity and prepared to take photographs, that they visit Wnipple and take view of the entire plant from the air.
 Lieutenant Sturcken suggested a few minor improvements which will make the Target Range an ideal land ing place. The Lieutenant stated that when he landed on the Target Range that it was as smooth as table and that they hardly knew he had reached the ground.
 Through the good cooperation and courtesy of Major Bew, a guard ot soldiers from Whipple were station ed to watch the plane during the stay of the air men. Both Major Bew and Major Coffin told the air men any cooperation that they might riquire would be forthcoming upon the asking.
 Permanent Air Station
 It is believed now since the flight of these two pilots and their favor able report of conditions here that Prescott will be fortunate ill secur- ing the designation of permanent landing field here and that many planes will visit this vicinity on thelr cross country flights.
 The officers yesterday paid Vls- it to Mir. and Mrs. Allan Love as mark of admiration and respect for their fellow airman, Ernest Love, who also was of Rockwell Field.
 Both officers stated in bidding goodbye to Prescott that their visit to Arizona had been. one pleasant surprise after another, and express ed their sincere thanks to the people of Arizona for their generous hospi- talitv to them during their stay.
 Chas. c. Ricbling, placed a new Studebaker car at the disposal of the | airmen for their inspection trip ot anding fields and for their use dur ng their visit in Prescott.

THE TERMS OF PAYMENT FOR
VICTORY BONDS ARE LIBERAL
The Public Will Virtually Have One
Year in Which to Pay for
Bonds Purchased.

Washington.-Terms of payment of
the new victory liberty loan, an
nounced Friday, are the most liberal
ever offered by the government De-
ferred payments may be extended over
a period of six months from May 10 to
November H.
Secretary Glass announced Friday
that 10 per cent of subscriptions would
be due with application on or before
May 10, another 10 per cent on or be-
fore July Is and four subsequent in
stallments of 20 per cent each on or
before August II, September 8, Octo-
Der and November II. Accrued in
terest on deferred installments will be
due with the last payment.
Payment in full can be made May
20 if desired, the 10 per cent with ap-
plication having been paid prior to
May 20. The payments also can be
completed on any installment date
with accrued interest.
Terms of the fourth liberty loan
permitted deferred payments only over
four months and the installments were
arranged so that SO per cent became

January 80, 1919. In that loan banks
subscribed for hundreds of millions
of dollars and then allowed the public
to pay for them over period of ten
months. If similar extensions are
given in this loan, treasury officials
said the result should be great slim
ulation of popular subscriptions, be-
cause the public would have approx
mately year in which to pay for their
bonds.

AN AMERICAN PRISONER IS
FREED BY VILLA BANDITS
Declares That Bandit Leader Express
ed Himself as Friendly to the
United States.

Juarez, Mex.-Francisco Villa told
an American prisoner in his camp
that che was ready to shoulder his
rifle and aid the United States-his
neighbor-to repel foreign invasion
whenever needed" according to the
American, who has just arrived at
the Texas border after being pris-
oner of Villa and the home guards in
Western Chihuahua for ten days. He
declined to permit his name to be
used, but is known at Juarez and
throughout Mexico as a reliable man.
The American told thrilling story
of the arrest OF himself and his COM
panions, their being taken before Villa
personally, and the conversations he
had with Villa and Felipe Angeles.
angeles had apologized because he
and Villa had eaten all the breakfast"
the American said. "Villa shook hands,
told us not to worry, as we would be
well treated and that he had no in
tention of harming any of us. In the
big adobe room adjoining the corral l
had a long talk with Angeles, who
praised the American democracy and
said that was the kind of government
Mexico needed, as there were too
many differences between the high
and low classes in Mexico. 1t was
during this talk that Villa, passing by,
stopped to tell me that he was ready
to shoulder a rifle should the United
States be invaded by foreign force,
as we were neighbors and should stand
together"
After being released and given a
safe conduct through Villas lines, the
American was again arrested by the
home guards, who are organized to
protect their homes from bandit raids.
While the American was held at Nami-
quipa by the home guards they hanged
three "pacificos" for footing. The ref
ugee said the home guards and Villa
had an unwritten truce, and neither
force bothered the other.

SAGE TEA DARKENS
HAIR TO ANY SHADE
Don't stay Gray! Here's an Old
time Recipe that Anybody
can Apply.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for re-
storing faded, gray hair to its natural
color dates back to grandmother's
time. She used it to keep her hair
beautifully dark. glossy and attrac-
tive. Whenever her hair took on that
dull, faded or streaked appearance,
this simple mixture was applied with
wonderful effect.
But brewing at home is mussy and
out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at
any drug store for bottle of "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound you
will get this famous old preparation,
improved by the addition of other in
gradients, which can be depended up
on to restore natural color and beauty
to the hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says it dRrkens the hair so naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell 1t has
been applied. You simply dampen
sponge or soft brush with 1t and draw
this through your hair, taking one
strand at a time. By morning the
gray hair disappears, and after an
other application or two, 1t becomes
beautifully dark and glossy.-Adv.

COMMUNICATED
From the Merchant Marine.

The ex-members of the merchant marine of this city wish to know why they are refused to be allowed to register at the war bureau, receive the service medal or participate in the Welcome Home celebra ton.
 At the entrance of the United States into the World war a drive was made for men to enlist in what was then stated the 'most honor- able, necessary and dangerous part of the scrvice." It was called danger ous because of the nature of the cargOeS carried.
 Ire training in the merchant ma rine was not done on land, in bar racks but at your time of enlistment you were placed on a boat to go where you might.
 These boats carried provisions, fuel, ammunition and men. All of which, if we had been without, we should have lost the war. Some of these boats were wrecked and lives lost. Lives lost for Dem ocrac cy-the same as any life in the army or navy
 Among merchant marine recruit ing literature may be found articles by President Wilson and others pleading for recruits for one of tho most honorable branches of the serv- ice.
 Now that the war is over the mer~ chant marine is among the forgot ten.
 We are not on the horor roll; we are not classed as service men by the war board.
 In view of the fact that the mer- chant mariners carried CT an i'm portant factor in the war, authorized by the government, we would like t. know why we should not have recog milton.
