BRITISH TO HAVE
 AIR SERVICE HERE
iTe ESTABLISHMENT IS PREDICT. ED AS A RESULT OF HAND
 LEY PAGES VISIT.

Washington. - Establishment in the United States of British built air service, controlled by Great Britain in the same way that the merchant ma rine was dominated before the war with Germany, is foreseen by military and commercial airmen in this country as result Of the extended visit here Of Handley Page, the famous English airEiane builder, and the incorpora- ton of a S20,000,000 company under the laws of Delaware.
 Rumor has been busy for several weeks with the presence of Handiey Page on these shores, and his recent visit to Cleveland, O., was followed by reports that that city was to be made great ''air port" In the meantime he has opened a suite of offices in New York, which he occupied with W. H. Workman, his American representa- tive, and from that place the project for an American serial transport un- der British control is being directed.
 The new corporation is known as the Aerial Transport Company and Judge Grey of Niagara Falls is it's temporary president. Its capital is fixed at G,0o0,0 ,000 and 1t is said that a special company has been organized to handle the securities and under write the stock. This latter company is called the Aerial Securities Com pany and w. L. Bracket of Cieye- land is it's president As the Aerial Transport Company is expected to purchase a large number of planes from Handley Page, the British manu- facturer, according to information which has reached Washington, has invested heavily in it's stocks and has arranged to turn over to it ai1planes values at S2,500,000 in payment for stock.

M. 6 N. A. TRAFFIC IS CUT OFF NEAR HARRISON, ALPENA
 BRIDGE OUT.
FLOODS ARE ANNUAL EVENT
Business Houses Are Flooded-Much Merchandise Saved By Merchants Placing It High Above
 Danger Line.

Harrison. - Heavy rains caused all dry branches leading through here, and Crooked creek to rise to a great height, overhowing their banks and causing much damage. Six railroad bridges between here and Alpena. in- cluding the big bridge just this side of Alpena, gre washed away. and the large bridge just south of Harrison was washed down, cutting off all M. x N. A. trains. Carl Parker, engineer on Q freight train, drove his engine through a bridge and narrowly escap- cd svith his life. Elmer Garner had a similar experience with another train. Communication out of here will have to be carried on via Bergman, on the Missouri Pacific
 The lower side of town next to the creek was flooded and some houses were washed away. The light plant escaped damage, having a protective wall which held the water out of the plant. The water rose five feet in the Rivrside Hotel, damaging it to the ex- tent of $500. A number of houses were given a liberal coating of mud on the floors.
 All business houses on the south sid eof the square were flooded. Con- man & Kirby lost $500 worth of goods The city meat market lost to the ex- tent of $500 The Farmers Exchange lost goods worth $50. The Blair Pro duce Company lost about $500 worth of chickens. The Keener Feed Com pany was damaged to the extent of at least $2,000, partially covered by in suranee. Much more damage was averted by the merchants coming down during the storm and placing their stock above danger, and many worked all night at this task.
 The spring floods have gotten to be an anual event here, and are a source of great annoyance to the city. Mer- chants are discussing the advisabinty of erecting a levee as the easiest way out of the difficulty. These floods get worse each year as the result of land being cleared of timber above here, leaving water to rush down unham. pered.

PRESIDENT ASKS AN
 AMERICAN MANDATE
TELLS CONGRESS THAT HE BE. LIEVES IT IS THE WISH
 OF THE PEOPLE.


 Washington. = Authority to accept for the United States mandatory over Armenia was asked of Congress by President Wilson.
 The president said he was conscious that he was urging very critical l choice" but did so tin the earnest be. lief that it will be the wish of the peo. pie of the United States that this should be done.'
 The presidents message was read in both House and Senate, but was not discussed Each house referred 1t to it's Foreign Relations Committee and there was no indication when either committee would take it up. Some Republicans predicted the mes sage would lie in the Senate commit tee indefinitely.
 Senator Harding, Republican Of Ohio, chairman of the committee which investigated Armenian affairs, said he would never consent to taking mandate over Armenia, and added he did not think the Senate would consent.
 "The Foreign Relations Commit tee" he said, was almost unanimous against mandate, Democrats as wet as Republicans.
 Senator Harding is author of the Senate resolution recently adopted eongratulating the Armenian people on recognition of their independence, and asking the president to send a warship and American marines to Baku. President Wilson referred to this resolution in his message, but senators said that this measure was adopted as substitute for one by Senator Williams, Democrat of Missis, sippi, proposing that the United States become the mandatory of Armenia.
 The president informed the Senate he had accepted the invitation of the Allied Supreme Council that he under take to arbitrate the very difficult questions of the boundary between Turkey and Armenia, saying he had thought it his duty to accept this diff ficult and delicate task"

INDIAN MONKEYS
 ARE REAL PESTS

A campaign against monkeys. wtC conduct 8 reign of terror, eating chil- dren of the commuInity and attacking adults; and their property is being conducted by Baptist missionaries in Bhadrac4, India
 N R. Hartley, the Baptist mission ary, declared that the missionaries war on these droves of monkeys is seriously handicapped and interfered with because of the Hindus, who re- gard the monkey as sacred animal.
 MT. Hartley himself shot one of the terrible 'fB1ldmash'' Gascals) after he had been responsible for the death of three good sized children, the theft
 of food from those living in the neigh borhood, and fruit, bananas, and veg etables from MT. Hartiey's garden This is an abstract from MT. Hart leys letter on the monkey situation:
 'NThe number of monkeys in Bhad
 rack is estimated at from 800 to 4,000; it is next to impossible to have a gar den in t1rdS town, consequently vege tables are dearer here than in othe places; the monkeys are constantly tearing holes in the matched roofs
 of the houses The Hindu people
 would gladly pay for the ammuni-
 tion if some one else would shoot
 them, but there are only about three III the GOWu, anu luGSG are III
 the hands of people who would not
 use them for that purpose. It is only
 in the last six or seven years that they have been here Thereby hangs a tale; ("NThey were deported, be- cause of their Bo1SheviSt tendencies from Puri which is located on the ! Bay of Bengal It is the most sacred place in the world to the Hindus Puri was infested with these vicious monkeys, but the Hindus were afraid to harm the ''Hunuman''-half- Consequently, Puri suffered under the reign of the monkey government, which, like Bolshevism, though pro- fessing allegiance to democratic prin- 1 cip1es, in practice is the very essence ] of autocracy.")
 ''At last the condition became so | desperate that the worst members were put aboard a train running be- 1 tween Puri and Calcutta, and at diff 1 ferent points along the way were 1 given their freedom

CHINESE HAVE
 SPIRIT GUARDS
 AT FRONT DOOR

It is New Years custom among the Chinese to place a paper god be- fore the entrance to their homes with much pomp and ceremony The Chinese have also the very effective habit of removing the front door of any man who is their debtor at that gala season This according to Bap- tist foreign missionaries, is about the most unfortunate thing that could possibly occur to any self respecting Chinanan.
 For with his front door gone-how can he place the spiritual traffic cop there as a guard? And without the guard, what is to prevent hundreds of homeless evil spirits from dashing madly into his home and lodging there for the next twelve months, bringing the family untold calanities?
 Superstition such as this are legion among the Chinese and act as a great handicap to the work of missionaries there.

least comprehension Of American char
acter or social traits, nor any dispO-
sition TO penetrate beneath the sur
face and discover the admirable truth.
This briefly summaries a condition
that deserves careful analysis and eL-
tended treatment, but in broad lines
the summary VIII approve itself to
most OF the A j. IF. as correct. Il
has to do chiefly with relations Of the
soldiers, but there are Of course many
exceptions, and not a few american
soldiers made friends among the
French with whom they were thrown
In contact.
As to officers. there were some who
were friendly and got along vel and
made friends, but a large proportion
Of all ranks bore the same views and
preiudices as the soldiers, and do yet.
Special instances by way Of exception
are Of course numerous. but it IS prob
able that no one WI question the
truth Of the summary in its broader
outlines.
It is unjust to condemn wholesale,
and most Of the friction was as IN
necessary as the prejudicss were un-
reasonable. It was, and is, regrettable.
Both nationalities misiudged and were
misiudged- Starting IN friendly by
tradition and instinct, the mutual sen
tment came TO be almost hostile.
RecoIlections today on both sides are
for the most part unpleasant.
The language barrier was the prin-
cipal element in bringing about this
unfortunate state Of things; next TO
that, the fundamental difference in
