( Great Bomb* Carried By An~rica» Airerrft Behind American linen in France, Sept. .TO. — Bomb* of an incredible sue are now carried by American aircraft and some idea of their destruction cm parity may b« gained from the fact that they cannot be dropped at a low er altitude than 8,000 feet, an ifreatly 1a the air disturbed by the explosion. An amusing incident occurred when 'he ft rut of the** was dropped on ene my territory, which ia much harried ' by A mencaa bomber* and conse quently bristles with seachlight* and I antic raft batteries. So terrific wait I the explosion that every searchlight went out instantly, and the airmen were deprived of the landmarks on j which he had counted to rind hia way , home. Americana in this squadron have ' had remarkable success. In two weeks they accounted for 2ft enemy machine* IT of which were crashed and one bal loon All are imbued with the idea of maintaining the offensive under all 1 circumstances. Recently two of them, rinding them selves cut off by Wmt the enemy while returning to camp, refused to seek afety in flight. Instead, they swept up at the German machines, which I were all above them, and so rattled the enemy by their unexpected dar ing that they actually brought down | four of his machines and. though not undamaged themselves, were able to 1 land behind our own lines. , A .successful attack was made by members of this squadron not long 1 ago upon a troublesome enemy aero 1 drone which long had evaded dia I covery, so cleverly was it concealed ' in the grounds of a chateau. The I cateau served aa the headquarters of the officers of the eGrman squadron, and the hangars were hit Wen in th« edge of the woods about the houee : The American squadron was acting as \ escort tc the bombers clic rged with rj the destruction of the aerodrome. In a Held about half a doaen enemy airplanes were discovered, most ol them with their propellers runnlnj 1 and prepared for ftght. The Ameri can machines swooped down within ' | 100 feet of the ground and circled j about the f eld. sweeping it with th< ' j fire from their machine guns until al! 1 of the German machines were bias ing and the men attending them eith 1 er shot er driven into a nearby wood. Meantime bombs had been dreppei • on all the hangars and on the chateai itself, which horned tike a torch UK lighted the attacker* on their rotan iwi|. ' N< Mr. r. O.

Every j other considemt'on at public policy or I private interi it or politic-1 expedi i ency is malar ticant and unw< thy of attorticn wl.cn stood up be..iie the ' real thing. -• What to the ifrrat political parties ! preset t ir the way of issues that ia of j sufficient imp >rtanre to challenge the interest of it people in tl.o throes of a , life and death struggle for national (saistoice? Absolutely noth.ng. The , tariff has passed to the scrap-har.p of j ilnul issues. The monetary i|uestion lappc-rs to h titled. Two poi ies are prai-tirally agreed in their attitude to wards trust and large public service j corpciations. Kven the time-worn issue of national pros pel lty and "a full dinner pe.il" has censed to be the I subject of controversy. In State affairs, beyong the uaual platform camouflage designed to lend color to the campaign, ti.u Republican do i.ot promise or c-mumplate any material changes. To be sure, they favor woman iifTi-age, but that is not yet a vital iarue in North Carolina. It may lie hoped, then, that public spirited eitiaMie will giv • flrrt consid er iti in to success in the war by standing suuarely behind the Adm.a iatrr.tion whose duty it ia to car. ~j it on; by supporting its friends and dis co iraging its ei emie*. includini; poli tical er.rmier. at the approat-ning elec tion. Let President Wils <n, tl.c com m ii.d«-r-in-c: i. f of the army mad navy have the cont.nued support of a Dem ocratic ("ong'ess; let iiiri hive the murai support o* State and local offi cers w'oi nre in sympathy with his policies. Conditions have thrust up on his •houliier: the bur! -n of a (Treat ta.-k ar.d he muit have the strongest support poshib'.e. It ia of vital con sequence to the country. Abraham Lincoln, the real founder of the Rcpublicap Party, referring to a possible chcnce of administration while the country was at war, said it was unsafe to swap horses while crossing a stream. We can't exact ly "swap horses'* in that sense at this time, »ince there ia no Presidential election, hut we can easily cripple the horv.e, which would doubtless be a still greater piece of folly. it was possible to keep «,ut of it: par hap* too long, if ho, he (lid it for the -'ake of peace, for the sake of hu manity, anil in deference to the un miHtr.kahle will of a vast majority of hia countrymen. Mow that wcr is upon ud, the Constitution rtxes upon him the responsbility of ita prosecu tion, and it m of overwhelming impor tance that he shall in every particu lar have the act ve backing and sup ;mrt of every American. It is im portant to the nation. It is impor tant to humanity. It is especially im portant to every individual soldier | who goes to Europe to light, because there is not one of them whose very life may not depend upon a speedy termination of the war. Let us not permit petty consideration* of parti san politics to blind us to our iluty to the gallant men who wear the uni form. I have an abiding faith in the ulti mate triumph of human freedom. We cannot lioubt that the Allies will be victorious in the end. But it will cer tainly be within the range of possi bility for us foolishly to weaker, the arm of our Government, and so pro tract the war thereby, needlessly sa crificing thousand." upon thousand* of lives on the bat.leflelda of Europe. Let every thoughtful man then con sider whether it will not be unsafe at this time of national stress and dan ' v'er to embarrass and weaken the , President by electing as Senators ami , Representatives in Congress men who l for political reasons are not in sym pathy with his policies; whether it will not be unwise in this national cris:* to beiriow upon men who on account of partisanship are not friendly to the National Administra tion. tne prestige and influence that pertains to every public office how ever small. In private affairs no prudent man. having employed an other to perform a great task of far reaching, vital consequence, will take the risk of undermining hia efficiency I by surrounding him wv.h other em ployees and co-laborers whotteattitude towards him m unfriendly. A» for my ielf. I am entirely con vinced that under existing conditions the obligations of patriotism demand the support of the Democratic nomi nees at the coming election. F. O. CRAVER.
