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.

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.

the pretty miss who skipper, this
speedy Ice boat. She considers spin
ning over the Ice at the speed of a
racing automobile sport nnd It prob
ably Is If one has nerves steady enough
to atand It, for it requlrea nerves of
steel and the utmost skill to steer this
boat over the Ice-coveted rivers. There
la always the risk of running amuck In
a fog that may come up from the
ocean at any minute, of shooting Into
another equally speedy Ice yacht or of
dropping Into Icy water if one Is un
fortunate enough to strike a patch of

Serene In her faith In nn ever-present

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! Is to be
delivered whore the prospective cus
tomer has h two weeks' supply. It
wns discover.-.! that one man had two
cellar. -on",.-ed t y a long tunnel.
He wns ord.-r',:i h.ilf tons and carry
ing the con! f n one e!lnr to the
other. Hy the time his scheme wns
unearthed he h:nl accumulated four
tons, but he was still out for more
coal. The dealer he applied to sent
htm to the fuel administrator, where
he made affidavit that he had no coal
at ad. The net step whs an Indict
ment for pertury. the case being
hooked for the next court. In addi
tion, the offend r was made to take
his little bucket and c; rrv three nnd
