We want some thing that appeals to our knack for inventing things, for getting over ob stacles in an original way. And the air way is our way. "It might be of interest to point out that all of the picturesque fea tures in the matter of invention and innnovations of a startlingly modern nature have been, up to now, adver tised exclusively by the' German side of the European argument. The talk of coming Zeppelin raids, of artillery ponderously magnificent, of schools of U-boats, was spread through Ger many.

But what I am considering is how to give American qualities to our brothers in arms at their maximum efficiency. "The answer gained is aeroplanes at night without lights. The guns were clearevl for action. We saw one submarine June 4. One British ship sent a signal of distress, which we picked up. She reported she was fighting a submarine. Half an hour later they reported by. wireless the submarine had submerged. "I heard S. O. S. from another British vessel she reported she was being attacked by a submarine. Af ter 20 minutes of hard fighting the submarine submerged and the steam er wirelessed she was undamaged. "We were on a zig zag course and j making full speed when one of the gunners sighted a torpedo heakled straight for us. He shouted to the bridge: 'Here she comes. Torpedo Dort aside.' "The chief officer who was1 on the bridge, shouted to the quartermas- and yet more aeroplanes. Every ter, 'hard starboard', we swung off. " . . . . m mi .

With the wealth can devote ani our unqualified facilities for manufacturing there is ro reason in the world, why we should not be able to produce, in a com paratively short space of time, an ov erwhelming aerial fleet. "An army in the air, regiments and brigades of winged cavalry, mount, ed on gas driven flying horses, could blind the eyes of Germany until her gunners deprived of range finders, -would be put out of business by the Allied artillery. "Knock Out Germany's Eyes "The modern type of land war is dependent upon two things above all others: aviation arid artillery. They are cooperating elements in a flying army, and against an enemy a flying machine is a terror and a menace to big guns. That aeroplanes are posi tively essential for directing artil lery fire is an axiom among military jmen who have seen action in the sort of battles being fought on the West ern front. "The magnificently abvious thing, then, is to knock out Germany's eyes by a thrust through the air. But my idea would be something vastly larg er than a thrust. An inundation of aeroplanes would better express the idea in its magnitude. Sweep the Germans from the -sky, blind the Prussian cannons and the, time would be ripe to release an enormous flock of flyinfr fighters to raid and destroy "military camps, ammunition '-depots, military, establishments of all kinds. The firing upon troops from machine guns from aeroplanes is be coming commoner and more accu rate. Once given an upper hand the flying machines become frightful en gines of destruction. "The greater the air fleet the saf er It becomes to the aviator connect ed with it, and the more deadly to the enemy to which it is sent.

England is spend $39,000,000 a day for her share mi the war. At such a rate per diem vt would take something like a rort nig'ht to mpre than pay for the air fleet which we are planning to build.

"When the commander of the sub marine saw our crew climbing up on deck he started for us again. "The gun crews scrambled to the guns, when about 600 yards off our setarboard quarter a shell from our forward gun hit the submarine and she submeged. Again she appeared and our after gun hit her and blew away her periscope. Another shot from our forward gun fell right on top of her. There was a shower of black specks followed by a geat commo tion, bubbles of water and a light blue smoke arising from the stern of the Uboat. "Our crew which was lined up against the starboard rail watching the battle, gave a hearty American cheer when the submarine disappeared." amount of fruit they put up. to can as much of their surplus as possible by the use oi boiling water when su gar sirup is beyond their means.Any fruit, they say, may be successfully sterilized and retained in the pack by simply adding boiling water instead C a! l i : ml . n uj. iue mt snup. ine use oi sugar, i of course, is desirable in the can-4 ning of all kinds of fruits and makes a better and ready-sweetened pro duct.
