NEXT WAR WILL
 BE DECIDED BY
 USE OF PLANES
So Says Brig. Gen. Mitchell
 Visualizing Future M. Conflicts

New York, March 26.---The first bat tie of the next war will be fought in the air, Brigadier General William Mitchell, chief of the Division Of Training and Operations, Army Air Service, declared in a statement here today, in which he visualized a de- cisive aerial conflict The battle, he added, would also be the last one Of the war because the losing nation would be helpless and unable to con tinue hostilties after it's air fleet had been conquered.
 The air service chief predicted that aviation will completely drive huge battle cruisers, battleships and other surface ships off the water in the next conflict. "A great air force can ren- der surface craft incapable of oper- ating and stop debarkations from ships and attacks on shore establish
 ments," he said.
 Brigadier General Mitchell in his visualization of the greet air struggle of the future described vivid1y the
 part he believes giant gun-bearing ! battle planes, bom.bers, rigid dirigi- 1 ble bolloons and arunored aircraft of 1 various designs will play in the next
 war.
 i With the beginning of war he pie lures a huge fleet of Clirigible balloons l soaring high above the oceans and,
 from nests on the tops of these, tiny airplanes are launched, locate the en- i emy fleet and return with the informa-
 ton. The chief air officer, working in
 contact with the army and navy, sends {! his air force against the enemy The American fighting planes drive i from the sky the enemy pursuit and
 combat planes launched from the decks of enemy batt1eships.
 '~Then comes the main attack by ou1 air forces against the hostile feet '
 says General Mitchell. ''The battle. planes are in squadrons of 25 and foul of these constitute an attack group Circling over the enemy fleet they
 maintain a heavy fire, destroying per- sonnel and anti-aircraft equipment.

oombers, huge air freighters carrying

bombers, huge air freighters carrying projectiles weighing up to one ton and depth bombs for effect against sulb- marines. Water torpedoes controlled by wireless from the planes crash into the sides of the hostile vessels, sinking the smaller ones and damaging the larger.
 Darkness comes and when visibility from the ships has become poor, huge rigid dirigfble balloons carrying bombs of enormous weight join the attack, their projectiles crashing through the heaviest 2rTnor of the enemy ships.
 ''As the navy comes up to complete the work done by the aerial forces the battle is over. The enemy, driven from the air and with most of it's ships either sunk or out of action surrenders. The battle has been the first and is also<the last of the war
 The enemy cannot land his forces.''

HON0RED AS GREAT TEACHER
Works of Euclid, Ancient Mathemati-
clan, the Foundation of the
Science of Geometry.

Euclid was an ancient mathemati-
clan, who is said by some to have
f1ourished in the third century before
the Christian era. 1t is generally
held that he was a Greek, but the date
and place of his birth are unknown.
It is generally held that much of his
work was done at Alexandria, Egypt,
which in those ancient times was a
famous seat of learning and the CEN
ter of extensive commerce. The most
famous work of Euclid that has come
down to us is the Elements of Geoms
etry in 10 books. The first six are the
most valuable. They contain the
foundation Of geometry, on which is
based several branches of higher
mathematics. These books are still
used in schools and colleges. The
next three books deal with the prop
critics of numbers but they are super
seeded by modern arithmetic. Euclid
also left other works, such as treatises
on harmony and optics.

The situation is extremely grave,
M. Krivochin said. General Wran-

the Bolsheviki, and his losses have
been enormous. Premier KrivochiE
said Wrangers troops are exhausted,
having repealed % attacks in tho past
few days. The Bolsheviki artillery
has been terribly destructive, he said.
The BolsheViki, according to Pre-

WOMEN NEED SWAMP ROOT

Thousands of women have kidney and
bladder trouble and never suspect it.
Womens' complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in healthy
condition, they may cause the other Or
gans to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss of am
bition, nervousness, are often times symp-
toms of kidney trouble.

Single combat in various forms sur

peoples have different methods Of
showing their prowess. In the island
of Trinidad. for instance, the natives,
who speak mixture of French patois
and English. call their merhod 'play-
ing bois" (literally stick tighting). The
stick used is about yard long a
usually made from the "puie" tree. a
very hard wood. This Is held at each
end 0iagonally in front of the body
and the blows are struck ny releasing
one hand and striking with either the
left or the right. In the carnival sea-
son bands from the various districts
are made mp and contests take place
whenever two bands meet. The stick

rying blows. and an expert will stop

While the Tibetans themselves have

that the isolation of Tibet was origi-

hope of creating buffer state against

Toward the end of the century Rus

England and with the idea of securing
Russian protection and converting the
entire Russian empire to Buddhism.
Such a move being diScOuntenanCed by
the Chinese, the head lama, still In
cited by the Russian. took steps to
bring on a crisis by provoking Eng
land by various Sights and encrOach-
ments on British territory. In 1904,
therefore, the British armed mission
to Tibet was sent out. This put An
end to the Tibetan aggravation. The

of three marts for British trade In tt

Raymond was last night called 70 the
war by our king, and at noon today
he and his 600 men will ride forth"
"But who will defend the castle if
old Earl Edmond comes against it in
the lords absence?" asked the father.
81 think there is small fear of that, "
replied the wife:
SO at noon the long line of prlncing
steeds, headed by the lord, rode down
the road and was soon lost to sight.
One September afternoon Ivan
walked to the summit of hill, from
which he could see the SURROUNDING
country for miles. A Pickering light
caught his eye. There was long pro-
cession of men winding across the
valley, and all were clad in glittering
armOr. They were keeping close TO
the shadow of the woods, but when
they crossed the sunlit path their
swords flashed back the light brightly.
At the head rode a huge man on a
black horse and nearby another car
ried banner on which was a black
eagle.
''It Is old Earl Edmond I" exclaimed
Ivan HE is coming to attack the
lords castle in the absence Of the
owner"
Then far below Ivan noticed that
not far from the castle was a large
bridge, and below it rushed a mighty
river.
''The earl will camp on this side Of
the big bridge this evening in the
woods" said the boy aloud. "And by
morning will come over to take the
castle. If the timbers holding it can
De cut through tonight the wicked
men will fall into the river"
With this he ran to his fathers
shop and got an ak. Within an hour
he was at the bridge and had run TO
the other side, near the castle. Sc
lecting one of the big. strong posts
which upheld the weight, he began to
put, and for two hours he kept at the
work. At last the beam was easily
broken in two parts. He then took
the other post, and after three long
hours of hewing and resting, he man
aged to also sever that. The bridge
would now fall apart were anyone to
walk on it. But by placing several
planks over the hole Ivan made it look
as if nothing had been done.
At dawn he heard the tramp of men.

HOW DO YOU SAY II?

Common Errors in English and
How to Avoid Them
SHALL" AND TWILL"

4 MONG the most common errors
"A in the use of English, and one of
the most difficult to avoid, is the con-
fusion Of shall" and will" The rule
Is that In the first person, either sim
gular or plural, ."shall' must be used
to indicate a future action. For ex-
ample, say II shall go to church to-
morrow :" 1--WE shall meet you there !"
do not say will 60" will meet"
But If YOU desire to express determine
ton. use "will; :" for example, II will
go, and nothing shall prevent me-"
I'VE will be obeyed."
In the second and third persons the
usage I'm regard to "shall" and twill"
IL exactly opposite to the usage in the
first person. The verb "will' ex-
presses the future and shall" IS used
TO denote determination.
An amusing case of misuse of the
words "will" and ''shall" is found in
the story of the Frenehman who fell
into a river and cried: II will drown,
and no one shall rescue mel'
The rule in regard to should and
would" is the same as that govern
Ing the use of shall" and will"
