LONDON, July 6.-England's power
full aerial arm is aiding in the rule OF
India and Egypt There meters OF
rebellion have been speedily overawed
by a liberal dose of aerial bombs. By
the use Of aircraft, Great Britain will
be better able to maintain her sway
over vast and primitive states, which
have been increased in extent by the
peace treaty.
In a sense, aircraft is second only
TO the British navy in speedily bring
ing to bear in any land, whether II be
colonial possessions or a new enemy,
the belief that England is in earnest
and means business"
This was proved during the recent
revolts in India and Egypt and in the
melted attack by the Afghanistans
upon British forces in northern India.
While the air force bids fair to be an
ever-increasingly important asset To
the empire, it is a fact that officers OF
the r A. F. are not accepted as being
on the same social level as navaI
officers or officers Of the army, both
OF which have a long tradition behind
them.

SHERIFF'S WALLET

BLOOMINGTON, Ill. July 6.-"Pard-
ner. have you got change for five?"
Sheriff Leo Baker, of Waynesville,
Mo-, was asked this question by a
dapper young man. Baker had just
aIighted from a railroad train pre-
paratory to conveying a prisoner
back to Missouri. A large crowd
damned the depot platform.
wal I reckon, young Teller" he
congenially replied, as he tore out a
mans size wallet containing SAT in
cash and treasury check for 81.
Lets see," he added.
The next instant the purse was
gone. So was the blithesome strang-
er. He had grabbed the wallet and
dashed into the throng the moment
the quasi-wary constable began count
ing his money.
Exercised to a e0horsepower de-
gree, Baker fumbled in bulky
carpet bag at his side. Presently he
produced a long and formidable look
ing pistol. :
Since Sheriff Baker came from a
part OF the country where they ride
fast and shoot hard and with I'M
erring accuracy, he let out a yell
like a Comanche Indian, shouting:
WARS that pesky critter? Col dern
it! L'emme at him"
But the chase was fruitless. The
"dip' had disappeared.
Hungrier than a Siberian wolf and
without a louie" Baker told his
story at police headquarters. On being
'agrub-staked" he said:

EAST MACEDONIAN
PEOPLE STARVING

CONSTANTINOPLE, July 6.-Ameri-
can, British, French and Greek doc
tors are striving with might and main
to prevent an outbreak OF the plague
in the region extending along the
north shore of the Aegean Sea from
Saloniki to Constantinople.
"Amefica and England, as we'll as
the far lon corners OF the earth, can
not ,aFhrd in these days to ignore
otebreaks OF disease no matter where
they occur" declared a British sani-
tary officer in charge Of the work Of
cleaning up Constantinople. 'If the
plague is allowed to breed here in
the near East, sooner or later it will
reach England and America. And its
ravages, If allowed to spread, will ex-
coed those Of the so-caIled influenza"
Eastern Macedonia, which has been
a battle-ground for centuries and
which since 1912 has been fought
over again and again, is today hor-
rible mess. The summer sun is
breeding flies and mosquitoes By the
millions, the unhealthy Struma VAL
ley is steaming with malaria vapors,
the streets Of Drama, Series, Kavalla.
Xanthi and the hundreds of other
small villages are filthy beyond be-
lief.
Inc returned refugees i've III ShSIL-
shattered ruins under sanitary condi-
tions unspeakable. Their rags are
alive with vermin. From the big Red
Cross warehouse at Kavalla, housing
three hundred families of refugees,
from FIVE to a dozen dead from typhus
were removed daily only recently.
The refugees were easy victims after
many months of semi-starvation in
Bulgaria
The children OF Eastern Macedonia
are pitiful sights, with stomachs dis
! tended from enlarged spleens, due to
! seFni-starvation. With their little ribs
showing plainly through their taut
/ drawn flesh, with hollow, lace-lustre
eyes, they lie about on the streets in
the sun, Indifferent to their fate.
