Readers, 5 and lOt. per line Independence, Oregon, Senator Chamberlain has broken witli President Wilson and backed by Roosevelt and other ex treme militarists is leading a fight in the Senate against the Administration's conduct of the war. The senator recently delivered an address in New Yoak City and his criticism was so blunt that the President issued a statement in which he declared that "Senator Chamberlain's statement as to the present inaction and un effectiveness of the gov ernment is an astonishing and absolutely unjusti fiable distortion of the truth." As a matter of fact, the plot is to get rid of Secretary of War Baker or render his power obsolete so that a per petaul military policy with compulsory training may be fastened upon the American nation, and Mr. Baker has continually opposed all perma nent military preparations. In other words, Baker refuses to let Chamberlain and Roosevelt run the war department. Senator Chamberlain and Mr. Roosevelt have elected themselves joint leaders of the militarists. It may be remarkable and it may not be so remarkable that all the Big Business interests of the country are backing a permanent military system and each and every newspaper, big or little, that caters to these same interests, is burning Baker and commending Militarism. lust now we are eniraired in a world war for democracy and are fighting militarism. Yet these same men and intersts are attempting to establish the same system here While the Allies are pro claiming that among the peace terms, which are yet to be won by the sacrifice of thousands of lives, there must be disarmament, Chamberlain, Roosevelt and their kind are proposing to arm. Is it a wonder that the enemy is skeptical of our good intentions as stated in our peace terms? President Wilson may have made mistakes in the conduct of the war but he is making no mis take if he resists to the end the militarists of this country. The people will back him. They will rejoice if he scorns the interference of the Roose velt extremists and approve if he counsels with such Republicans as Taft, Borah and Kenyon who have not gone war mad.

The Monitor always leads AIR FLIGHT TO British Airplane Makes 2,000 Mje Trip Without Accident, I DROPS BOMBS ON THE ENEMY Amazing Story of Voyage of British Battle Airplane to Turklah Capital From London German Headquar ters and Turkish War Offica Bom barded Long Trip Made Without Engina Trouble of Any Kind. For the flrat time the amazing story of a British battle atrrdane's flight to OonMtnntlnoplc from London, and lti aequVI In the bombardment of the Ger man headquarters and the Turkish war olflre there was told by Mr. Handley I'mkp iind Mr. Basil Johnaon of London, w hose firm built the engines that flew the 2,000 miles without a hitch. Loading up at Ilendon, the machine, which with npnres and litgRHge was more than al tons In weight, proceed ed to I'arls, Lyons, and, to avoid the Alps, continued by way of Marseilles. From Marseilles the Journey waa by way of Hpezzla to Pisa, Home, Naples and Otranto, which was the last point over friendly country. The next, and perhaps the most difficult atage of the Journey, waa over the Albanian Alps to Snlonlca, a trip of 2.r0 miles across mountains varying from 8,000 to 10,000 feet, with no suitable place for landing In case of need. Off for Constantinople. Squadron Commander Snvory, who wns the chief pilot, told him. said Mr. Hundley rage, thnt they could see wild Hiilgiirlnn horsemen below, who were running about In every direction, wait ing for a chance to kill them if they cnnie down. From Snlonlca the adventurous party flew to their bnse, overhauled the machine, and prepared for a long distance bombing expedition to Con stnntlnople, a distance of about 820 miles. On their attacking trip they set forth with 16 bombs, nnd on arriving at the Sen of Mnrniora throttled down from o.tHK) feet to l.fiOO feet, the Golden Horn and other points being clearly in view. After a short survey of the lights of Constantinople, and In order to make sure of th'-lr objectives, they came down to 800 feet and dropped a salvo of four bombs, hoping to reach the Ooeben, which wns nnchored Just be nenth them, t'nfortnnntely they missed the vessel, but managed to hit one or two submarines that were lying along side her. Turning on their track, they made another attempt on the Ooeben, and this time, In spite of the attentions of a number of Turkish nnd Oennan anti aircraft guns, managed to plnnt four homhs on the battleship. Then they flew up to a ship called the C.enernl, which wns the headquar ters of the German stuff, and dropped two bombs on her, to the great conster nation of naval and military officers assembled In her saloons. One more tnrget. too tempting to he mksed, attracted the Intrepid avia tors, and they next made their way to thnt part of the town where the Turk ish war office was situated and dropped two more of their bombs on the build ing. The Turkish official report on the latter Incident quaintly minimized mat ters by saying: "The war office waa not destroyed." Makes World Reoord. After half an hour's bombing of Con stantinople they turned round and started back to their base, Flight Commander Mol.ellan relieving his chief In the steering. They had not es caped without damnge, but even after one engine hnd been put out of action they were able to get away without Rvriou damage from the "tmnd accom paniment" of guns below, which had paid them a quite uncomfortable amount of attention. On arriving back at the base no fewer than 2t! bullet holes were found In the machine. The Journey to Con stantinople and buck (tUO miles) occu pied seven hours. Handley Tage said Engineer Lieuten ant nawltngs. who was one of the party, reported that they hnd no trou ble at all with the engines, although the water In the radiator boiled on a very hot day. He thought the flight, which constituted a world record for British airplanes, engines nnd aviators, showed the great possibilities of aerial long distance bombing expeditions dur tng the war, and also that there were great possibilities for mall and freight carrying In times of pence.

BORROWS BABY TO GET SUPPLY OF COAL Grimly Humorous Happenings Noted by Agents of the Fuel Administration. gome of the federal fuel administra tion's field agents while llioy are busy with the serious work in their various fields have noted some grimly humor ous happening. One Held agent tells of a Newark (N. J.) retailer who has beeu supplying his regular customers with small lots of coal and he has de clined all new business unless there was sickness In the .family. He was appealed to by n prospective customer, who demount rated that his was a case of dire need by w boiling a delicate looking baby, accompanied by a pale wife, to the coal yard The coal he so earnestly sought was delivered, and then It wns discovered that the new customer had borrowed the baby. In the same town there was a Jew eler who took a few days off from hi regular employment and uot a job driving a coal cart for u local dealer. His first trlii out was with two tons of coal. This he promptly dumped Into his own cellar, and then resigned, saying that the work was too hart! for him. Another shrewd case came before one of the I'ennsylvnnln county fuel administrate,-- v. hose directions are thnt dealers -' .; deliver only one ton nnd half ton loi. mid no eon!
