PERSONAL OPINION
Huge Fleet of Airplanes
Would Overwhelm
German Army
Bv Brigadier General GcORGE 0 SQUIER,
Chief Signal OfLcer, U. S. A.
THE modern type of land war is
dependent upon two things
abovt> all others—aviation and
artillery. They are co-operative
elements in a lighting army, and
against an enemy a flying machine
is a terror and a menace to big
pins. That aeroplanes arc positive
ly essential for directing artillery
£ re is an ;ftiom among military men
who have seen action in the sort
cf battles being fought on the west
ern front. The magnificently ob
vious thing, then. IS TO KNOCK
OCT GERMANY'S EYES BY A
THRUST THROUGH THE AIR.
But my idea would be something
vastly larger than a thrust. An
inundation of aeroplanes would
better express the idea in its mag
nitude. Sweep tiie Germans from
the sky, blind the Prussian cannons,
and the time would be ripe to re
lease an enormous flock of flying
fighters to raid and destroy mili
tary camp-, ammunition depots and
military establishments of all kinds.
THE GREATER THE AIR FLEET
THE SAFER IT BECOMES TO THE
AVIATOR CONNECTED WITH IT
AND THE MORE DEADLY TO THE
ENEMY AGAINST WHICH IT IS

Misdirection of Efficiency.
Is the art of efficiency by any chance

MINING MAX SAYS ROAD
NEEDED AX SKAGWAY
II. T. Bos hart, mining man of
Skagway, with, mining intersets in
th Porcupine country and the inter
ior, is an interested Juneau visitor.
"More than anything else at this
time, Skagway needa a w*gon road
to the interior," said Mr. Bosh-art.
"An automobile road to the 'sum
mit of White Pass and & Canadian
road connecting i; with. LAkg Beu
nett would be of wonderful aid in
the developement of the country tri
butary o Skagway, and it would giw
us one of the finest scenic drives
in the country," he continued.
Mr. Bosliart says business la
goi d at Skagway, and the 'reopen
ing of th^ Pueblo mine near White
horse, he says, insures a continua
tion of prosperous conditions
throughout the coming fall and
next winter.—Juneau Dispatch,

Learn History by Novel*.
In the Woman's Home Companion
Anne Bryan McCall says:
"One of the pleasantest ways I know
of making varied travels Into history
Is by reading historical novels. 1 re
member that when I was twelve years
old I read Harrison Ainsworth's "Wind
sor Castle." and when I was fifteen I
read Scott's 'Kenilworth.' When I was
sixteen I read Hawthorne's 'Scarlet
Letter.' I was not thinking of history
at all when I read them. I read them
solely fur the story. Yet from those
three books I learned more of the
times of Henry VIII. and Queen Eliz
j abeth and of early American days, I
do believe, than In the many historical
chapters covering those times that I
I have read since. These books made
! these times live for me, and it was as
though I myself were living in them."
Van and Semiramia.
Van is a city of immemorial an
tiquity. which gave the name to the
"Vannic empire" of Assyria, and was
supposed to have been founded by the
semi-mythical Queen Seinlramls. Un
less Tuelly libeled by the legend she
was no better than she ought to have
been, which is not surprising if she real
ly was a daughter of the mermaid who
ruled the nelght>orlug lake. Van is to
day famous for the cuneiform inscrip
tions, indelibly printed on rocks, by
which forgotten Van dwellers at once
preserved their historical records and
provided against future "paper fam
ine."—London Chronicle.
Too Much For Tommi*.
"Mother wants you to come right
over and see Toinmie," said the little
girl.
"What seems to be the matter with
him?" asked the doctor.
"He can't swallow. His teacher gave
him some big words to spell today, and
we think some of 'em got stuck in his
throat"—YyeJters Sttttesoiaa.
