Great Attitudes To
Mark Air Fights

London, June 25 CA. P. by MaiD-
Keels are now being laid in Great
Britain for huge rigid airships which
will hover above the clouds with a
number of small fighting machines on
| board ready to launch at a foe, says
an aero-nautical expert in the Lon
don Daily Chronicle The task of
these new machines in war, he says,
will be to carry aloft to immense
heights and to transport, If necessary,
thousands Of miles, squadrons of
swift, deadly, steel-built attack
planes. These will be launched from
high above the clouds, and will rush
at 200 miles an hour and more earth
ward to harry other aircraft and raid
the commerce Of the seas.
1.-THE airships will have the power,
lacking in a small machine, the
writer says, "of long distance flights
at a great altitude, while, on the
other hand, the small planes they
fight any machine laden for long
journey.
I'm the case of specially organized
attacks by these formidable air-borne
fighters on planes carried at sea by
her-ships, the tactics of the craft
sent darting down from airships will
be to dive pell-mell on their surface
launched opponents, and strike them
deadly blows before they can gain
the vantage-po Of altitude.
Height in air-warfare is the key to
victory, and these airship- carrier
fighters will have the advantage of
being in a position to choose their

which the commission should fix the
German debt There was a pretense
of respecting those conditions" he add
ed, but the debt hardly had been fixed
when there was imposed upon us in
one of those supreme councils. where
we always left behind US some of our
rights. A schedule of payments that
the commission accepted reluctantly
and which reduced our claim in unde-
termined proportions. We then &C.
cepted this schedule Of payments as
an international convention. as an
agreement of honor pledged to u.s."
A few months later. Premier Poin-
care asserted. this schedule again was
questioned, las certain of our friends
seemed no longer to have any other
thought than to tighten the German
debt, and as they themselves were our
creditors we told them There are
three kinds of bonds provided for. Let
us keep our part of the first two. AS
for the third. we will use them against
Germany only in proportion as our
creditors ask us to pay our debts Still
we were found too exacting."
The premier said France was re-
preached for not having sufficient re-
gard for Germany. and for exposing her
nations.
And yet" he declared. has not
Germany been so well looked after dur
ing three whole years that she has
been allowed to default on all her obli-
cations. so that we had to pay our own
money 100, 5000, 100000 francs she owed
us and has not paid? Has she not been
allowed to rebuild her commercial fleet
and develop her canals and railroads
and enrich her great, industries at the
expense of our creditors?"
M. Poincare asked If anyone
imagined that Germany would stabi
lie the mark and put her house in
order, If France watched with arms
folded.
For three years." he said, "the al
lies have followed this mirage and
for three years things have been go
ing to bad to worse. If we were not
in the Ruhr Germany would have
continued to slip into the asyss she
dug, but we would have been empty
handed, while now we hold security,
and we are powerful enough not to
have to let CO."
France. the premier asserted, I'M
ceasingly had been making conces-
sions. "Then," he added, why have
we said we have reached the end?
Il is because until now they always
have been at our expense" The
peace treaty had promised repara-
tions and security. For security
France had been given the right of
temporary Occupation of the Rhine

ment Germany should become strong
err"
France also had been promised q
guaranty pact, but this had not been
fulfilled and nothing had been offered
to replace 1t, for "the new guaranty
pact proposed by Mr.. Lloyd George
was for a shorter time than occupa-
tion and without precise engage
ments. Military aid was nothing, It
was only a dangerous deception"
M. Poincare emphasized the gov.
ernment's and his own personal feel
ing in favor of close relations be.
tween France and Great Britain. He
recalled that It was he who brought
about the alliance with Great Brit
ain before the war when others were
advocating better relations between
France and Germany.
The premier concluded with what
was interpreted as a carefully word
ed reminder Of Frances supreme po-
sition on the continent and the dam
ger of attacking the treaty Of YER
sailles, for. he said, through a
breach opened in the Versailles treaty
other propositions would pass that
would reopen the entire peace set
tIement, destroy the new status Of
central Europe and menace our
friends, Cecho-S lovakia Rumania
and Jugo Slavia."

AUGUSTA YOUNG man
DROWNED AT SILVER
LAKE SUNDAY P. M.

Wallace Geroux. II years old, of this
city, was drowned Sunday afternoon
about o'clock while bathing in Silver
lake in Sidney. The accident was
thought to be due to heart failure.
The young man with several friends,
including Jerry Carey and Henry Jo-
bin, was swimming and playing about
the pond and had seemed in the best of
health. He had rowed out to some
lily pads in the pond and upon his re-
turn to the shore started wading along
the shore away from his companions.
He was seen about so yards away. APP
parently trying to swim on his back.
and but minute later no trace of him
could be found.
His companions Immediately dove
for him and brought the body to the
surface. Artificial respiration was
tried without success and they were UNI
able to get any water from his lungs,
which leads to the belief that death
was due to heart failure.
He is survived by his mother, Mrs.
Leavitte c. Terrio; one sister, Mary,
and a brother, Leo. Funeral arrange
ments will be announced later. Young
Geroux was employed at the Edwards
Manufacturing Co. and was we'll liked.

products show but small fluctuations
in comparison.
One dollar now buys an average Of
&c pounds of beefsteak in comparison
with 3.9 pounds in 1913, and 2.3 pounds
in 1920. Purchasing power with re-
spect to butter declined from 2.6
pounds in 1913 to IA pounds in 1920
and has risen since to IL pounds.
Coffee in 1913 sold at the rate of "a
pounds for one dollar, dropped to 81
pounds in 1920 and rose to 2.6 pounds
in 1923.
The rise in purchasing power Of the
dollar since 1920 represents real gain
/ for the great mass of the population.
Wages and salaries have been advanc-
ing for more than a year. Previously
when this occurred it was preceded by
increases in prices with the result
that the fattened pocketbook of the
average family had little more, if any,
purchasing power than before. Now,
however, just the reverse is true.
Pocketbooks are fatter and each dollar
buys more than three years ago.

The English cottage style is enjoy
ing much popularity for the modern
house, chiefly on account Of the pic
turesque exteriors found in this type.
Nevertheless, this style has its
drawbacks when one must build for
economy. These drawbacks lie in
the plan, with particular reference
to the second floor, and to the SER
wants rooms.
Owing to the low rambling roofs
Of the English cottage, the second
floor Is, in many cases, greatly re-
duced in area. This reduction in size
Of the second floor is a serious mat
