BRITAIN'S OUTPUT OF: PLANES IN LAST TEN MONTHS WAS 26,685 Seven Thousand Five Hundred Enemy Airmen Shot Down Since July, 1915. London. May . 21. (L N. & An Amazing; record of the work of the Brit ish air force during) the war . has just been compiled by the air ministry. It contains some astounding facts and fig uers, the most noteworthy being that, during- the last 10 months of the war. British airplane factories turned out 2C.CS5 machines. - Between July, 1915. and the armistice on November 11, 1918. British airmen destroyed or shot down over 7500 enemy aircraft, dropped nearly 7000 tons of bombs, flew over 900,000 hours nearly 103 years and fired 10.500,000 rounds of cartridges. '-"v . -' During the first 10 months of the war the airplane output was only 630. Bombs weighing 20 ; pounds were dropped in 1914. but at the end of the war aerial torpedoes weighing; ' 3000 pounds were in daily use. 'Marvelous development took place. In the photographic reconnaissance branch of the royal air force, which at the com mencement of the war consisted of only two officers and three men. Their out fit consisted of two cameras and a port able box of developing chemicals. On the eleventh of last November the pho tographic personnel had 250 officers and 3000 men. Up to September, 1918. over ; 6,250,000 prints of aerial photographs,' which proved of inestimable value -during the great offensive, had been issued by the air service in the field. Treasury; Tip Brings Gun e . it r, it. v. v. , Looks Like It But ' Isn't By A. L. Llaabeek Salem, May XI. "It's only a newspa per man, unarmed, and with the most friendly of intentions," I called out as I cautiously opened the door ' of the state treasurer's office this morning; after reading the-story of the attempted yegg raid and how the state treasurer and ail his deputies and assistants and clerks - and stenographers, et cetera, were going around with automatics strapped around their waists in antici pation of a visit by some bad, bad ban dits with evil designs upon the valu ables contained within the state vault. - As I hesitated, momentarily expecting a salvo of machine gun fire or perhaps a broadside from the newly Installed field battery in response to my greet ings, a voice bade me enter." GBEETED WITH 8XILE - "Come in.-- ; --' .V And in I went, only to be confronted by State Treasurer Hoff. armed with his usual welcoming smile. ' "Where's the artillery r I queried. "Oh, Joe Richardson's ' got that. re plied the : genial treasurer, , grinning broadly. , . So we tiptoed into the main office where the assistant state treasurer sat deeply interested in a perusal of the lat est dope on the transatlantic flight or was it an explanation of why the Bea vers failed to garner that last game with the Seals. And, sure enough, . there on the desk in front of hjm, in plain sight. lay a formidable looking weapon of the tjrpe commonly Known as a six shooter. - -OSLY CAMOUFLAGE .I see you're ready for 'em, Joe," I ventured. "s j . . . : "Ready for whom? countered Joe. In nocent like. j "The yeggs," says I. right back at him. "I see you've got a gun handy." "O, sure," admits 'Joe. - "Certainly pays to advertise. Somebody sent this to me after reading that story in the papers about the tip we had about a possible raid on the state treasury." And he reached over and flipped up the cylinder on the gun. revealing a nov elty inkstand.- The blamed thing - was only camouflage "Where'd you get this stuff about the yeggs, anyway," chimed in Cashier Les ter B. Davis. And te enjoyed a good laugh when we told him how it was rumored around that somebody -had tried to remove a bolt from the base ment door in order to get into the big vault. But he admitted . affixing- a new padlock to the door in the basement as an extra precaution after he found the -stick missing from the hasp which has heretofore secured the door. George Dunsford. superintendent cf the building, however, failed to see the Joke In the rumor "Makes us out like a bunch of. chumps seeing robbers and yeggmen in every corner,"' he opined. "Nobody has at tempted, to remove any locks around here that 1 know about and as far as the safe In the basement is concerned, it hasn't been locked since it was put In there because it doesn't hold anything but a lot of old papers that aren't worth taking anyway." Pacific College Man Is Named for Post Newberg. May 21. Joseph B. Hollingrs woplh, graduate of Pacific college, has been appointed field Representative for the .Valley Canning company, ' Prior to last year, when he purchased a large farm in - Idaho, which he sold three months ago. he was the Junior member of the firm of W. W. Holllngsworth company of this city. - Br Soiild 1. Sterliar Chicago, May 21. In anticipation of the national convenutions of 1920, poli tics is receiving some attention in the Central Northwest, and the Middle West, but .beyond predictions of a most interesting campaign, few will venture opinions as to the probable candidates of the major parties. In the course of a hurried visit to a number of cities in the districts above referred to, the writer has sought ex- iwHutntM from Hiiafnt find nrrtfesslona.! men and newspaper men Informed in na tional politics, and has found no unanim ity of opinion 4s to choice of a standard bearer or the probable outcome. All agree that the international problem has Injected a new and powerful element Into things political which promises com plications that make predictions a year or more in advance a oudious pasume. TOWMXET PLAN DOOMED r North Dakota is too' engrossed with Iter, own affairs at the present time to rive heed to national politics. Her gov ernmental experiment at the dictation of the Non-Partisan league is her one con cern and the effort to force a refer endum of a number of measures recently enacted by the Non-Partisan legislature ts of paramount interest. Current opinion in the Central North west seems to be that the Townley plan I Is doomed to failure In practice. This view .is based on the increased taxation already decreed and the fact that al ready there . has . occurred a serious breach between Townley. who is the per sonification of the Non-Partisan league I Idea, and a number of the executive of ficials of the state, elected on the league platform. . the , questionable success of the chain of cooperative stores operated i by the league, for the privilege of pa tronising which one . is assessed $100, , gives color to the contention that in the business of government the league lead ers are equally incapable. . SEW MEASURES COME UP On the other hand, even staunch op-1 admit that for years the farmers of North Dakota and North Dakota is largely a community of farmers have suffered under the old economic scheme ; and1 accordingly were in the proper frame of mind to espouse the plan that premised them- deliverance from undue burdens. Whether the established parties , could have avoided the current regime by riving, heed to the farmers demand for economic justice is a moot Question. However;'' today-North Dakota Ms too occupied wltjh the approaching- June' elections, when a number of new meas ures, . notably the Non-Partisan league oanaing pian. wm te reierrea, to have an opinion on the national situation. Incidentally North Dakota Is .preparing for a bumper wheat crop and the entire wheat raising section is now under plow after a iate spring. "V -M WOOD SOT HAILED -J In Minnesota, some eyes already have been turned - to the . campaign of 1920. General Leonard Wood, who spoke in Minneapolis at the opening of the Vic tory Liberty loan campaign a few weeks Mm. mAd tn M nhvtntl, i rr nraccmn that he was willing to accept the Republican presidential " nomination but left little enthusiasm in bis wake. The local son pride centers around Senator Kllorx. j who,' it is known, would appreciate the support of the Minnesota delegation at the Republican - national convention. Other JMinnesotans are Impressed with .the possibilities' of ' Taf t as the Repub lican candidate in the event that he can 'bridge the breach between the liberal and standpat factions. His attitude on war measures and his espousal of the League of Nations idea are cited as his chief elements of strength. On the Democratic side, few will ex press themselves. McAdoo's name Is frequently heard kwlth divided opinion lb lu uie cixeci upon, ois canaiaacy mention ia . madA . whattvitr nf Ohnmn Clark or of any. of the reactionary ele ment in ' the Democratic party such as Reed of Missouri. Whenever anyone is found whtf will hazard a guess he al ways, turns to the liberal element in either party as the only fields in which successful candidates can be found. XOWDBIT NAMED - ' "If General Wood is nominated by the Republicans on a platform of uni versal military service, another Demo cratic administration is assured." Such Is the expression of a prominent Chicago attorney -who is close to political af fairs. '-"And pn-what other ground 'can sis candidacy be based?" he concluded. In Illinois, too,- the native son idea is much in evidence. Governor Lowden's record as chief executive of Illinois dur ing the .war period is admitted by Re publicans and Democrats alike as in dicative of an abllirv sufficient for a presidential candidate. In Michigan one does not hear much about national politics. The great in dustrial region of Southern Michigan is bussing like a beehive in its resumption of normal production and the affairs at band are receiving major consideration. However, Mr. Taf t is scheduled for an address : soon ' in Detroit and any po litical expressions that may follow In the wake of his visit cannot be inter preted at this -writing. In sum. the opinion seems current in the Central West that the Wood boom if it can be so called-r-wlU not sur vive and that Mr. Taft is to be regarded as a possible Republican-candidate. . On the Democratic side few are willing to declare , themselves. . There is common agreement, however. ' that both of the major parties will nominate men of lib eral views. ' - " We Give S. & H.
