EXPECT A PROLONGED WAR to continue eating in accord with past custom if they wished, it would have worked vast hardship on the poor and middle classes. No sane man will fail to see the advantages of the system we are following as compared with the Penrose idea. VjITH reDorts of allied suc J r ry cess some people quick- ly jump to the confusion f that the war may soon be end I ed. It may be over sooner than S ! expected. But the general ten jj dency in such cases is for the time to be extended rather than shortened. The battle of. Get-1 tysburg, the great decisive bat-j tie of the civil war was fought j early. in July, 1863. Yet Le s did not surrender to Grant at J Appomattox until April 9, r 1865. In other words the con a! federates though greatly out- matched in manpower and in t; resources held on for almost two years after Gettysburg. tit is not wise to count upon a short war even though the tide j has seemingly turned. It is un- reasonable to expect Foch to make any great headway with an offensive this 'year. The season's fighting, as far as big maneuvering concerns will close in October. Very likely THE COST OF AIR MAIL SERVICE AVING established an'air mail service between cer- tain points in the east the government has now gotten down to close figures on the cost of the service. The first report of the com parative cost of the operation and maintenance of the Air Mail Service shows that the airplanes used in this serviVce have broken all records for economy of gas consumption. ' The total of all operating ex penses of nine airplanes cover ing flights aggregating 7,234 miles, was $3,682. The total consumption of gas represent ing 113 hours and 8 minutes of flying was 1,377 gallons, which is $32.50 per hour something over 50 cents per mile. The to tal cost of gas was $405 in fly ing 7,234 miles. . The best performance in fly ing was made by a Curtis J-N-4 machine, which flew 26 hours and 40 minutes at a cost of $28.01 an hour and covered 1,- 719 miles at a cost 'of 43 1-2 cents per mile. A plane equip ped with a Hispano-Suiza 150 horsepower engfne used ap proximately 8 gallons of . gas per houV, and a plane equipped with a 4Q0-horsepower Liberty motor used 17 gallons per hour. This shows 40 per cent less gas consumed than generally - re quired for airplane ."engines of these sizes. The calculation of operating cost includes departmental overhead charges, interest on investment, replacement of parts, deadhead time of me chanics, gas, lubricating oils, office force, motor cycles and trucks; rent, fuel, light and telephone rpay of pilots, hang ar men and mechanics; The average consumption of gas for the nine planes was 12 gallons per hour.

The Turk is getting tired of oeing tne silent partner in a firm where he has abundant op portunities, for labor but no voice in the distribution of the profits. The Huns after while will find it useless to give our boys a barrage; they live on sucn stuff and grow fat. Congress is hard after the luxury chasers; we will have to forego that new yacht.
