stacked against Fritz Ebert In 1925,
SO they were stacked against DR..
Bruening in 1880. Although he was
not, like Schacht, a servant of
Schmitz, he found he had no alterna-
tive except to cooperate with Schmitz
on the one hand because he repre-
sented "big business" and with Won
Schleicher on the other because he
represented the ever-growing army.
With the banks failing, unemploy-

One of the old-established Gus
toms on the farm during harvest
was refreshments called "the 10
O'Clock piece" These refreshments
always came to the harvest hands
at 10 o'clock in the morning and
were most welcome, as we'll as CIV
ing the farm hands an opportunity
for few moments rest. And what
was in the basket? Well our recol-
lection goes back to ginger bread,
pies, sandwiches and always that
refreshing old homemade ginger
beer. After this the workmen.
generally quite small army of
them, would be fortified for two
hours more, until the old dinner
bell, now about obsolete and sell
dom heard, called all to dinner.
One hour at this period and then
the work would continue until
supper. Going to the farmhouse
and eating this meal q return
was made to the field again and
work was continued until it became
too dark.
Harvest hands in the years gone
by would go out to the farmers
and solicit work, some going out
from the cities and remaining on
the farms for haymaking. If it
rained, the harvesters would spend
the time with the farmer until the
weather was again favorable for
continuation of the work, in the
meantime being lodged and board
ed.
Those were the days of the old
time reaping machine, the scythe
and the cradle as well as hay ted
ders and leaders, not to mention
the sulkey plow and tractor.

District, gives us a blood curdling
story of the slaughter of den of
snakes at Chimney Rock, above
Bagtown.
A resident, while in the noun
tain section where the rocks are
located, in the vicinity of the old
and famous Black Rock, saw this
tangled mass of snakes. Going
home he told his story to other
residents. So John Swisher and
several others, armed themselves
with old army muskets, the kind
Of weapon usually found in noun
tain homes at that times.
Arriving at the Rock they quiet
ly and cautiously approached, And
sure enough there they were Lots
of 'em. Without making any dis
turbance, three or four of the party
leveled their weapons at the nest
and fired.
The camp was taken completely
by surprise and the casualties were
heavy, This was disclosed after
the blitzkreig- AS far as could be
counted, 25 Of the detestable rep
tiles had fallen victims TO the as
sault The mess was 50 mixed up
that it was very hard to ascertain
with any degree of certainty just
how many were actually killed
What kind were there in the rep
tilian army, summing themselves
that morning on the rocks? Rat
tiers and coppeTheads!
That section had the reputation
of being the home Of many snakes,
SO the residents who made the at
tack decided to try to lessen the
number and as far as possible re-
move the danger of sinking their
deadly fangs into some one who,
perhaps, would be gathering huck-
cherries in an effort to maintain
livelihood
One precaution taken by berry
hunters Or snake hunters was to
wear high-topped leather boots,
through which snakes could not
bite, But where you would get a
pair of protective boots of this
kind would be something of a prob
lem - in case you wanted to go
snake hunting or berry picking.
After the surprise attack was
over there was a very distinct
smell of cucumbers. That is, cop
perhead snakes have an Odor very
similar to them. Persons familiar
with the mountains say that when
such an odor is noticeable, you
will invariably find a copperhead
nearby.
A resident Of the section de-
scribed was a we'll known charac-
ter, "Rattlesnake Wilmer" He
frequently made visits to Hagers-
town with fine specimen of rat
tier about his neck. He seldom
was bitten and then not badly as
he seemed to be immune to poison
ing. If Wilmer would be carrying
a snake the reptile would show
fight at once if any other person
approached him, although it seem
ed perfectly at home around Wit
mer's neck. Wilmer used to at
tract considerable attention upon
his visits to Hagerstown with his
companion snakes. He caught the
snakes with a pronged stick and
then picked them up.
A popularity said to be possess
ed by the copperhead is that if it
finds itself cornered and with no
chance to escape, it will bite itself.
The bite to the copperhead is as
poisonous as if inflicted upon any
human being or animal. II Thus

ple and the Chinese armies during
the five years that have elapsed
since that date is one Of the great
heroic epics of all human history.
Nothing could be more useful to
the Chinese high command at this
time than just the sort OF reserve
which an air force constitutes.
At the moment their main problem
is to deal with concentric Japanese
operations scattered over a wide
area stretching from Hankow on the
Yangtse River around through
Nanchang and all the way down to
Canton on the South China Sea.
The japanese are operating on

| Information Vital to Chinese.
The first necessity of the Chinese
high command is information. This
is almost impossible to obtain in
time to be Of use when the enemy
has complete air supremacy.
There is all the difference in the
world between such a situation,
which has been in general the
Chinese situation hitherto, and one
in which the Chinese will have
sufficient air strength so that they
can obtain information whenever
they are willing to fight for it.
Likewise, there Is q great differ
ence between . situation In which
the enemy can concentrate men and
supplies wherever he pleases with
out any fear Of being bombed, and
one in which such concentrations
become the natural targets for
bombing attack 50 that he is COM
PEELED to take all Of the usual pre-
cautions in the way Of camounage
night movements. anti-aircraft pro-
lection and fighter cover.
It should be noted that the Japa
nese air force at the present time
is feeling the pinch Of the losses II
has suffered In its rather reckless
operations since December 7.
At present the number OF first- lint
operating planes Of combat typel
available for Japanese is probably
about half the number of sucf
planes with which Japan began the
war.

More Aid to China Urqed
Mai. Eliot Declares Time Has Come
To Rush War Weapons to Far East

Now the Japanese are facing
situation which they find highly
unpleasant. They must keep a con-
siderable number Of aircraft avail
able in their Pacifis islands or they
will lose these bases to amphibious
attacks.
They must keep also a consider
able number Of fighter planes avail
able for the defense Of their home
land. They dare not denude Burma
of planes, for in India q storm Of
Allied air strength Is gathering.
They are almost certainly prepar-
ing to attack the Russians In the
north and they know well that such
an operation will require very strong
air support If it Is to have any
chance of success. Also, there will
be period during which their home
defenses will have to be greatly in
creased as against Russian bombing.
Ideal Time to Aid China.
These responsibilities taken to-
gether are already greater than the
diminished Japanese air force can
hope to face successfully. The jap
anese high command Is undoubtedly
counting on being able to dispose OF
the Russian menace quickly in order
to release planes from the north
] before the pressure in the Pacific or
from India becames too great.
This is. therefore, exactly the
moment, from our point Of view, to
add fresh burden to those already
imposed by existing circumstances
upon Japan's air strength. These
facts emphasize the strategic sig
nif1cance Of the appearance Of the
American air squadrons in China.
If they can be maintained there
and reinforced gradually up to real.
ly formidable strength, they car
present the Japanese high com.
mand with an insoluble problem ir
the distribution of its forces.
From the purely material point o1
view OF inter-allied military inter.
ests, therefore, it is well worth oul
while to make every effort to gel
more planes and more trained per.
sonnel into the Chinese theater O.
war.
From the moral point OF view, tn
reasons for increasing our air aie
to China are even more compelling
and justify even some disregard o,
the military claims Of other thea
ters. The Chinese people have beer

five years. They have deserved al
