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."

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

men and newspaper men Informed in na

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. ' - "
